Your least favorite race in GW2?

[Deleted]

Much as I bash on the races, I'm still likely going to have one of each. But the way I see them right now (right or wrong), it's the elf-surrogates, the proud warrior race, the midget inventors, and the nature-attuned vikings. I dunno, I just can't get as excited as when I made my troll priest.

I can see that... but nature attuned vikings actually sounds rather cool!

I'm with you on this Animal races are nearly ugly all the time. Worgen. Tauren. Asura and the Charr are all ugly abominations that need an exterminatus.

you dotn understand how hard im resisting linking that cutscene

well they're animals. not humans with cat ears.

It's a tie between Norn and Human. Though I think the Norn take the lead, they are dull, predictable and uninteresting. And I hate all that snow.

Easy there, Gue'la.

What's an Azura?

Also Kormir. Fuck Kormir. SHIT that should've been the tie breaker, change my vote to Human.

Burn DR to the ground! At the very least the Kormir high road.

Wow, very angry and so much profanity! .. And racist towards the only god from Elona.

Asura. They're like the hideously deformed relatives of sackboy from LittleBigPlanet.

You can do EXACTLY the same amount of downgrading on WoW races.

I prefer a real animal race over a fake animal race that's just a human with cat ears and tail sewn on. If you're gonna go animal, don't pussy out on it part way through just because they won't be "cute" anymore. Reality is rarely cute like that.

[Fumu]

Asura. They creep me out D:

On that note I -love- the Charr females. Although I don't care about furries in general, they don't look "furry" so much as actual beasts. Vaguely humanoid and decidedly non sexy. They look just as mean and feral as the males, which is really cool. Haven't had a chance to roll a 'beast race' female that wasn't a giggling tittymonster since female Iksars/Sarnak in EQ2.

the female argonian from skyrim make me facepalm all the time

[Shadzta]

The Sylvari. Why? Because it almost feels like they were added in simply because they could.

That Destinys Edge Lore would like a word with you...

[Deleted]

Charr, they are way overused and over hyped. Secondly the Humans, also over used. The Asura are my favorite because not many people will use them, and the Norn for how big and bulky they are. A Norn Warrior will be my first character than and Asura Elly :P

...but the Norn are effectively giant humans with a slight twist. Hardly original, since there's almost always a race from the frigid north in fantasy games.

you know what is in fantasy games far more than the cold people?

elves

dwarves

orc knockoff

o and wait for it... humans

the vast majority of fantasy realms are copies of tolkien with small twists

[Fumu]

As far as cat people go, Charr are very original. Cat people are the classic go to beast races in RPGs, and therefore MMOs, due to their appeal and have been a mainstay in sci fi/fantasy crossovers for longer than most of us here have been alive. However, they're always the same: Elegant, slim and sexy, with maybe the males being powerful but the females almost always basically furry sexpots.

Yes Charr feel a bit Tauren-ey, but they have established lore and technology leaning so it's not like they're carbon copies of Tauren with a dash of cute kittie cats.

I dont really dislilke any race from GW2 (they all have very different and interesting cultures). But aesthetically, the norn are less apealing to me. They just look like big humans. Even some of their faces are similar. I would've loved more aggressive faces for the female Norn. Instead they all got the same barbie treatment the human got.

I really really love the Charrs and the Sylvaris

[Deleted]

Humans... too basic i guess. Norn ftw.

Why do I get the feeling that some portions of the community in Guild Wars 2 are going to end up like in WoW where certain people rant about how awesome the biggest and smallest races are and claim how dull and boring the 'middle' races are? I wish more people would learn to appreciate what every race brings to the table.

Because with a large enough sample size some portion will rant about anything?
