Game of Bones.8975 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Bringing races into the game at this point is probably not going to happen. A simple way to experience playing as a Quaggan, Dredge, Choya, Kodan, Skritt, or, yes, even a Tengu would be to make each of these races into an outfit.While you wouldn't get the racial backstory or racial skills, you would still get the look.

Mysty Meadows.1425 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 They could add costumes as outfits that change your race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 So... basically more of these?They only need to be applied when you log in, work in combat and will fit into your "toy" inventory.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_transformations_with_combat_skillsInfinite Watchknight TonicInfinite Watchknight Mk II Tonic--------------------------- > Endless Kodan Tonic <---------------------------------Endless Miniature TonicEndless Embiggening TonicEndless Awakened Archer TonicEndless Fury Combat TonicEndless Chaos Combat TonicEndless Shadow Warrior TonicEndless Olmakhan TonicEndless Smoke Shaman Tonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I'd prefer them to do it properly or not at all. Even if you look at race purely as a cosmetic choice there's a lot that wouldn't be possible with an outfit or tonic. There would be no option to change your appearance (beyond 4 dye channels) or armour and no way to use any other outfits etc. Every single person who wants to be a tengu (for example) would have to look absolutely identical which would be disappointing.Also a lot of what I like about different races is the lore and personality, none of which would come through if it's strictly a cosmetic choice and as far as NPCs in the game can tell you're still a norn or human or whatever. That alone kills most of my interest - 2 minutes to apply the tonic or outfit and see how they look, and then all the newnest is done and there's nothing remaining to distinguish them from my existing characters.

Terra.9506 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Still come down to how it suit my tasted, If I's something I'm really like I would make new character just to wear it, but I still prefer armor for it customization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excursion.9752 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Short answer No.I think the whole outfit system is Blah. I want to see more full set armor. This piece by piece stuff is lame. If you want my money you know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal.9324 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I would buy a Tengu outfit if it was the only option, but I'd be pretty disapointed about having no customization asides from dyes. A tonic would be even worse, because then there'd be no customization at all. Also it would annoy me to have npcs refer to me as a different race while I look like a Tengu, so I probably wouldn't do any story stuff on that character.

No duration. One button activate/deactivate.Welcome to Tyria, new friend!In answer to the question: No. I think a tonic is a far better solution and, more importantly, already exists. All they'd need to do is make more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasind.3128 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd rather more racial specific armour & outfits VS being a new race-- the way Charr have been treated gave me PTSD towards anet adding a new race. It would just be overshadowed & unproperly designed for universal armors or outfits. It would have been better if outfits were unique to each race instead of only fitting properly on humans.It's like situation with SE & the Viera & Hrothgar races. They were added quickly into the new expac, but are incredibly unfinished. You can't even wear helmets or hats on these races & armors look terrible on them yet people are actually asking for another race even thought the viera & Hrothgar are 100% unfinished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eramonster.2718 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Not really into Outfits in game. Players that doesn't play specific race, will probably ignore outfits since its something they could not use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I hadn't thought of the specific armor aspect.I was only looking at the physical appearance/movement of the race.I was also only thinking of the two options: no Tengu or the image of one. With the "no Tengu" option being the most likely at this immediate point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notebene.3190 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I would like a Sylvari only outfit for my Human, and am jealous of anyone who got to keep theirs. Wonder if any of them play any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I want them to make racial outfits just so I can have the hilarious options to hide my helmet and have a Tengu running around with a giant asura head :D Oh man, personal story cutscenes are going to be kitten hilarious!!
