Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Sunseeker]

Everything I read about Asura seems far from cute. They're always portrayed as having a superiority complex, showing now respect to anyone but themselves, and generally not being nice. Everyone picks on them because their small.

But I suppose it is a matter of taste, as Kashii above me said.

I know, but they still look cute. Wide, round heads, large round eyes, chubby little bodies, they're designed to bring up thoughts of children. You can make a small race and not make it cute, this is just one of those moments that draws from JRPGs that I dislike. Also, bawww everyone picks on them 'cause they're small, that's like the signature of mary-suedom.

Yeah you can like 'em if you want, but personally I feel they follow too closely in the design footsteps of previous "short, adorable" races and with the darker, grittier take on everything else in GW2, that feels out of place.

Good read

I see a lot of comparison going on about Asura and Gnomes. I disagree with it, because the Asuras are nothing like the gnomes, they are more like the goblins. They are both NOT CUTE, think they are superior to others and do some weird experiments all the time, but it still works. The Asuras will not be the ones punted, it's more likely THEY will punt you in some way (With a golem? ) like the goblins, nobody try to punt a goblin, because they fear the loss of their legs.

I have punting needs!! I need to feel the rush of kicking a little gnome off a cliff into a burning lake of fire to get a buzz and make life worth living!! In GW2 I will need to move my addiction to Asura but thankfully Arenanet has helped the transition by making them as small and pug ugly as possible .

Anyone know why HoM won't let me put my heroes in?

I upgraded my Nightfall heroes with Elite Supspear armour like I'm meant to but it won't let me put them into HoM. At first I thought it's because they're not level 20, so I waited till they were but still nothing.

The Necromancer would be bros with my character

Necbromancer? That's a stretch, I think.

Were they in your party when you went into the Hall? If they're not present, they can't be inducted.

It is clear you have the heart of a Charr!

[Alatian]

Aww, that story is heartwarming .

Damn, now there's no race in this game I can hate on

Yup, ofcourse they are in my party. They never leave it. So I don't understand why it won't let me slap them in. :S

Don't suppose you tried dropping, then re-adding them to your party? I just put a couple of Nightfall Sunspear heroes in my Hall the other day with no issues.

[Meledelion]

Why go for necbromancer if you can use neBROmancer

And for asuran I just have to make one, they're a good exageration of my own nature (however bad that may be )

Just tried that, but no luck.

[Grognard]

Hm. Don't know, off top of my head, what else to try other than, perhaps, changing their armor again - either back to Default then to Elite Sunspear again, or simply with a whole new upgrade piece.

[Skelington]

Just tried that, but no luck.

They arent in the hall under a different armor type are they(im not absolutely certain if you can only put one in or not)?
