ChampionMasquerade.5283

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I like not knowing until soon before release. That way I don't have to wait anxiously for a long time

Really? I play around with the Charr character creator all the time and they've never been cropped out for me

As an Elementalist I think an Overload Air would end that better

Different world, different wedding ceremonies. Plus that's not the only style of wedding in our world.

I have thought about that. Though in their case I'm not sure if they're actually considered family. They do call the Pale Tree mother, but it seems more like a title. (I know the Pale Tree technically birthed them, but they are plants.)

> Some Charr probably do get married though, and there are Charr couples peppered around the game to suggest as much. However it's probably not common, and most of them are unnamed NPCs (Some are same sex - the couple timidly visiting the Four Winds Festival comes to mind) since I can't imagine marriage (or any long-term intimacy) is a big deal in such a warband-warcentric society like theirs. The Olmakhan seem more suited to things like intimate bonding and marital ceremonies, but they're quite different from Legion Charr and it'd be nice to see more of what their customs are like.

> Legion Charr seem to take mates and bond like any of the other races (Crecia/Rytlock), but those relationships are tamped down a bit by the whole 'bring your kid to fahrar at age 1 and backflip back into the battlefield' practice they've employed since GW1. They get together, they have kids, but their families are more artificial and their relationships with one another are overridden by their loyalty to the Legions.

Makes sense. I wonder if the outfit was meant be Olmakhan in nature then. It does seem to fit their style.

When you try out the wedding attire outfit for the Charr, it looks completely different than it does on any other race. I found this strange since Charr aren't well known for being in long lasting relationships, and I don't think there's been a single instance of Charr actually having weddings?

So do they have a special outfit for the rare occasions in which they do get married, or was this more a case of "let the Charr have a cool outfit?"

Edit: I have been correctly informed that each race does indeed have a different wedding outfit. My new question would be why this style was chosen for them, since it seems a little different than what they normally wear.

Edit Edit: After taking a better look and reading the comments, it does actually fit them pretty well.

I do Dragon Stand all the time, I don’t see how god dead at all

I’m pretty sure they do this on purpose to hide rare skins as a surprise. I’m guessing there’s a list of them out there, and you can put the I’d in chat to preview them

Gift received, thank you for helping make my day Santa Charr (It said up top Santa Charr would be available for photos, is there a specific time schedule?)

Gotcha, thanks for telling me (though if it was a big I think it’s be fixed by now, it’s been a thing for at least seven months)

I’ve done so when not holding weapons, normally after falling a small distance.

I wanna make clear that I don’t wanna change the way they run permanently, I just wasn’t sure of it was an option or not

When Charr players are running, they run on all fours unless in battle, but Charr NPC's are able to run on two feet without weapons in hand, which I sometimes find to be preferable to look at. I know from a non visual standpoint this doesn't matter, but I know Charr players can walk on two feet, is there any way for us to run on two feet?

Aside from the reasons others have stated, few would make sense on another character. For example, Sylvari don't have a warband they can call for assistance

Charr based jump puzzled are truly an art form few can master

Greetings fellow Charr! This is a great thing to do, and hopefully it'll bring the high legions back together after the whole fiasco earlier in the year. My respect goes out to you

On the Mac version of Guild Wars 2, I am unable to enter first person view despite having it enabled in settings. Along with the, I am unable to move the distance of the camera at all when mounted.

I can do both of these things on Windows, is there a fix I’m unaware of?

I’m sorry, I didn’t see this earlier, but nope, I don’t have auto run on.

The Player's charr is also the one with the most success in their missions where the other two Charrs of the other origins not chosen either died during or right before their final mission in the Origin story or became adventures after due to not becoming noticed by the Orders.

> It is the same for the Order path story. The Commander's Order story and Order mentor are the one who reach the Claw Island while the other two Order Mentors still went through their own Order story but never made it to Claw Island due to being killed by the Orrian Scout. Also our Order mentor only made it to Claw Island because they had the Commander with them.

I agree mostly, but I think Yahuk’s journal specifically states his old legionnaire either slayed three elder dragons, or was bonded with Aurene,.

I’m now imagining several different people in The Departing Path of Fire story truthfully claiming to be the Commander

I think a good portion of the cache keepers were potential warbandmates, but on further inspection it wasn’t all of them

Got it, but do the journals still show up for non Charr?

After you do the defeat the cache keeper event, you’ll find journals from Charr you recruited into your warband in the personal story. Do they all show up regardless of who you chose/do they go to Dominion no matter what?

Another question is do the journals show up for non Charr players. I know Yahuk’s references you being the dragon champion, and that wouldn’t make much sense if you were playing as a sylvari or other non Charr.
