Hyrai.8720 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 since we have this https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/1248093#Comment_1248093 thread, i want to start another one, inspired by some of the comments: Would you rather be yourself in Tyria, or be your GW2 character in real life, and why? :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaniaxs.4519 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Well... being ur gw2 character irl would need some weapons to start with... idk how do i get an unbreakable sword for my weaver that is eternally blasting fire and lightnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K.6238 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I wouldn't really want to pass up my current job, so it'd have to be GW2 character in real life. Being a charr could get very complicated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 IRL, funny to imagine peoples reactions seeing a sylvari, a charr looking like the sab promotion video or an asura shouting at them "bookah". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrai.8720 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Go to Gamescom, Comiccon etc. as a charr and collect all kinds of trophies for "best costume" :smiley: Or go to Tyria and tell everyone how their whole world was created by us and let them praise me as their real god :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I would be my character irl ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tere.4759 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I would rather myself be in Tyria as a ranger. The other way around, I could never pick one of my girls to be IRL. They're all powerful, gorgeous women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos.2503 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 A charr in the tram. Cue baby looking at odd looking gigantic plushy in front of it. And charr feeling observed, looking back. Baby starts bawling. That's not that far off from my real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'd prefer my ingame avatars in real life, if they were a bit smaller and had less chest growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerioth.7062 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'd be a charr irl. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 For a long time I said that if I was me but in a fantasy world I'd just be one of the random NPCs who never leaves their town and just tries to make a living. Then [siren's Landing](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siren%27s_Landing) was released and I realised that's not true. I'd be one of the Pact members working behind the scenes (and way behind the front line) trying to clean up and repair the damage done by the dragons after the main events have moved on. In real life I work for a wildlife conservation organisation and I think that's the closest equivalent I've ever seen in a game. I suppose that wouldn't be so bad, especially since if it's anything like my current job I'd mainly stay in Lion's Arch trying to keep everyone organised and be out in the field relatively rarely, so the risk of death would be comparatively low. I'm not sure if that would be better or worse than being one of my GW2 characters in real life, but I am sure that wouldn't be a good idea. For a start the vast majority of them aren't human and I imagine that would cause some issues (although being a giant, horned cat who can shadow step could be fun). My human female ranger would probably be the least dramatic change but she has notoriously bad judgement (which is apparently my fault somehow) and a tendancy not to think things through which I imagine would get her into just as much trouble in real life as it does in games.

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Despite how much I'd like to live in Tyria, I would probably have to go with being my character IRL. My two mains; eng and ranger are both the shortest possible female Norns. I basically based them on myself but the best version; fit and younger. I've put my Norn characters next to taller male humans in the game to get an idea of real world height. I think a short female Norn is at or slightly taller than 6ft which would make them about my hight in IRL. Having Norn morphing skills IRL would be awesome.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I don't think being my character in real life would be a very good idea for the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 As much as I'd like to be my gw2 avatars irl, I get the feeling that story will likely end in invasive studies and/or dissection "for science!". Not to mention the headaches of becoming a person who doesn't exist. You'd basically be stateless and potentially jobless... But you have magic powers, so yay? If I go to Gw2, the technology and magic exists to become my avatar (either through mesmer magic, tonics or makeover kits). There's still the possibility of dissection, but I would be careful to avoid any asura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoboy.4162 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I feel like, if I were just myself in Tyria, I'd be powerless and easy fodder. So, I'm going to have to go with being my magic wielding character IRL. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yes, I would like to be 23 people IRL sometimes. I might actually get stuff done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GummyBearSummoner.7941 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I would be my character in real life so I can cast “Healing Rain” to remove the condition we have in the world ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurana.7506 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Definitely myself in Tyria :) I love my main (commander) but all that would be left from her (since she can't join an Order or become the Pact Commander irl) would be a thief who's living on the streets of a major city. Not very appealing. I'd rather live in Tyria as myself and join the Order of Whispers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Myself in Tyria wouldn't survive more than a few days, I mean they have no wifi! They have no Guild Wars 2! But bringing one of my characters in real life? That would be more interesting, provided I keep the abilities, the problem there would be picking one out of the many characters.

Fenom.9457 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Be master of the elements and the ideal human body in real life? Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephire.8049 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I think I'd enjoy being myself in Tyria since, like I said in the other thread, none of my characters are based on me so I'd feel like an imposter if I became one. Plus I have anxiety so being a giant hellcat in a world without charr would make it kinda hard to do anything. I'd probably do animal behaviour/training or writing in Tyria. I definitely wouldn't be on the front lines but I could do some good in the background. I could also possibly help the charr out a bit if my scattered knowledge of blacksmithing and metalwork is more advanced than theirs. Oh, and magic healing is great, especially when you don't have a GP of your own irl :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hard question, on one side I'd love to be in that magical fantasy world, but it is also dangerous as hell. On the other side if I could become my char without spending my life in the gym and plastic surgery, it would be awesome too, but I would lose the chance to live in that fantastic setting.

GeorgeHaldane.9453 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Unfortunately, it's not socially acceptable to be an asura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyCakeLight.3750 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I imagine being a Charr in IRL would be quite difficult. Doors would suddenly be a challenge! Could you imagine how many of the furry community would be lined up the pet me, though? I'd feel so popular. My irl cat would be pretty upset, though.

Taril.8619 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hmm... Myself in Tyria could be cool. Especially spending like forever in the Durmand Archives reading all the books. Also, if I managed to go to Kormir's Library, even more books to read. Meanwhile, partaking in Moots and Meatoberfests constantly! On the flip side, this whole quarantine situation would be considerably less boring if I had a gigantic pair of Norn boobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
