Creating and implementing these races are original, so I didn't understand how you could say that the developers haven't done anything original.

Creating and implementing these races are original, so I didn't understand how you could say that the developers haven't done anything original. I assume the statement wasn't directed towards GW2 developers, but developers in general recycling the same fantasy races over and over through multiple games.

Creating and implementing these races are original, so I didn't understand how you could say that the developers haven't done anything original. There is absolutely nothing original about (high) elves. They're about as default as lab accidents are to Asura. So no one wants them in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeolus.3615 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well since the dragon of the woody poeple is now dead, they m8 start looking more humanish than tree'ish? Maybe Anet could get back to their initial look for the sylvary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 High Elves? Sniffing spray paint? Keep those druggies outta here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails.9372 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 We won't get to play other races except of course as combat tonics (e.g. Kodan) which are generally just reskins of the already existing races (which makes the fact that you can't use mounts while being transformed even more frustrating).

Rukia.4802 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Alliance getting high elves now in shadowlands =) (more specifically, their skin&eyes, you'll still be void elf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomos.7593 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 No please. Too many high elf races in other popular fantasy game settings, like Middle-earth, Warcraft 3 and Elder Scrolls to name a few. I would prefer something more original. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vengeful undead forrest spirits trying to lead people to their doom. then it's sad that you are so badly informed, let's educate you. https://norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/elves/ not just death but also life, in terms of appearances the tolkien version did got close.

VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 nah, I am as correct as you are. For some group elves are semi-gods, for others, little flower sniffers, for a third evil undead spirits for the next earth&air 'elementals'. And then came Tolkien.
