Zola.6197 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The only race I think can be “too” anything are norn, which would be “too short.” Literally nothing sets them apart from humans aside from their height... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My charr is pretty muscular too though. It's his size sets him apart if he was normal human size. It wouldn't look right. Can I custom his size still later on right? Do I need pay gems for it?

Donari.5237 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 One hint when making the tallest of a race is to shrink and narrow the head. Not extremely, but enough to counteract the scale-up effect (as seen in current versions of Taimi). It takes some practice to get the balance right, but you end up with something a little more realistic. At least with humans, adult head sizes don't tend to vary all that much. So to just look taller rather than completely differently scaled, mess with the head. I believe this will translate to the other races, though possibly with a different balancing. (I remember in beta I had Donari at max height, and met someone playing a male human at min height. It was like I was a 25mm miniature and he was 15 mm).

Unfortunately you will need to pay gems to change their height. It’s 350 for the make over kit. That being said, the makeover kits do offer some exclusive face and hair options, as well as eye and hair color. So if you do wanna change it down the line you’ll have more options. Both of my charr (Elem and Nec) are max height. Elem is skinny, Nec is pretty beefy. I’ve never had a problem with their height. The biggest issue with Charr is their armor textures tend to look very stretched out and awkward. :/ Still you can make some cool looking armors by mixing and matching skins. I’d post mine if I could right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see a list of all the default (available at character creation) and exclusive (available from makeover kits) options here. (Though new options for charr were *just* released; I'm not sure if the wiki has been quite updated yet.) https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Physical_appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It's not absolutely required to pay cash for Total Makeover Kits. You can exchange Gold for Gems, or you can use Black Lion Chest Keys for a random chance at a kit. BL Keys can be obtained, again with Gold exchanged for Gems, or from the Personal Story or expansion/Living World stories, or occasionally Map Completion, or rarely from drops or the Daily Log-in Rewards. Anything offered in the Gem Store _can_ be acquired without any real money transactions by using the Gold to Gems exchange. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenness.6482 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 If you create a charr but don't choose the bulkiest body and tallest height combined with the longest teeth then are you even living life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauderi.8706 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Any charr with the Embiggening Potion is too large. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a product of my ancestry RL isn't a computer game where a tall/big person blocks your view and proper movement by stepping into your player model and completely absorbing you. :lol: Also, no one in RL is wearing _huge_, _flashy_ back items. ;) In any case, I think the best reference point for average character size in GW2 is comparing size with story NPCs (Rytlock, Logan etc). That way, you won't risk to create a character that (in many cases, re: "huge and flashy") looks like a desperate call for attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Considering what i see on character selection screen, currently _any_ Charr is way too tall. Perhaps in few more years they'll finally fix that bug - then we'll be able to talk about charr height again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersword.9014 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Be aware when quoting someone with expectation of a reply - this thread "ended" on March 22, 2018. That said, I usually jack my Charr and Norn all the way to maximum height, especially with Norn. I usually play a human character, so seeing a large Charr or Norn among a crowd is usually pretty awe inspiring for me. Making them small just means I'll lose them in the mass that is a group comprised of humans and sylvari models (and Asura practically go invisible due to their height.) Guild Wars 2 has a real visual clutter problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
