DonArkanio.6419 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The topic of both new race and race change were mentioned a million times but I'm curious - If you had to choose between these two options, which one would you pick?I acknowledge that both of these are very improbable atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diak Atoli.2085 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You might want to edit your poll to include a third option for 'Neither.'As such, I'll have to write that vote in, for reasons stated in those multiple previous threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayakaru.6583 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Race change no, because character story.New race, mayhaps, but highly improbably due how would it have a levelling experience, and mold into the the ls5 story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aodlop.1907 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Race change no, because character story.It could be done even like that. Just have us repeat the traits selection of the character creation menu, then have them auto-completed in the story journal. You may even randomize it. I don't think people who really want a race change would mind losing a bit of RP for that, else they wouldn't ask for it. And those who do care about RP just won't purchase that service, so everyone's happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'm curious exactly what you mean by 'race change' and what you would want to change in what races. For example,. I think Norn would be better if they were more than large, obnoxious versions of humans, but it would cause some dissonance with the previous events to have it happen, and I certainly would not choose to make a better Norn over a chance to be a Skritt or Quaggan or something.

Thus, "race change" would be changing an Asura character to Norn, Charr to Sylvari, etc. This would not affect the lore of the races, just the one character.

I guess my vote stands. Personally, I'd rather be able to change professions than race...would totally swap a few of my characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Neither. Easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 New race but it's never going to happen... far too many conflicts.The best we can hope for is more combat tonics that allow us to RP as things like Jotun or Tengu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariurotl.3718 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If I absolutely had to, I'd choose a new race. If work has to be done, I'd prefer it to be something new rather than the huge heap of manhours spent on re-stitching personal story and such without anything actually new to show for it as a result.

Fantasy.5321 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't think we'll ever get a new race considering the amount of armor skins Anet would have to fit on it... They couldn't even do it properly on Charr and Asura. :astonished: I would like some Charr/Asura armor adjusment before a new race, please. Not to mention some of the weirdly oversized boots/shoulders/pants on Sylvari! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Since I don't really want another race, I voted change. Even though I would most likely never use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starhunter.6015 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Neither, quite easy to just farm the gold and buy a new slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Race change is a difficult to make gemstore item, while a new race is an expansion seller. Not really comparable, but a new race is easily more exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 A new playable race is a fun idea, but it's not going to happen and I'm fine with that. We have lots of variety built in already. Still, if it was a simple thing - sure, that's what I'd want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasya neko.1985 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 i want a new but then, i want a truly new race, not any we already know about. (both GW and GW2)however, i do want a profession change token available, the one thing that doesn't affect anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchoku.8142 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That Dominion of Winds area sandwiched between Maguuma and Kryta suggests area for both Largos and Tengu. That would be a nice place to launch a personal story for either but starting directly at L80.Largos can be an under-water people with +25% natural movement speed in water but poorer gliding stamina.Tengu can have infinite gliding stamina but a lower base toughness.Their personal story can be stand-alone, skipping forging the pact and assaulting Orr. Then, splice in at the next ex-pac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Or...they want the Devs to understand that a portion of the playerbase would prefer they work on something other than those 2 choices, however unlikely the choices are.

zeldara.4127 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Picked this because I personally don't want to change race on any of my characters (I have only 3). A new race might entice me to make a new character. But I am fine if neither comes to pass either, unless it does not take away development time from anything else I rather have, because why not then ^^.
