CamoBadger.8531 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 To be fair, if you're worried about playing Asura it should be because their characters are generally unbearable assholes who get off on telling everyone else in the game how unintelligent they are. Taimi is possibly the only Asura I don't hate. Seriously, never got past level 20 with an Asura because interacting with that many Asuran NPCs was the most miserable I've been in this game.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted August 6, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 6, 2018 First, I love the Asura! Second, my (human) ranger is as short as possible, and she's treated just fine. I don't sense any "height discrimination" in Tyria. :) Third, welcome to the game!

I worry that people will think I am not as important because I am not as tall as everyone else. I know it sounds silly. Honestly I'm afraid that I will not be considered equal because I am shorter. Is this normal or is this silly Look, being short—my uncle was a great manlet, Dr. Mid Jet at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very short, the Metrica Institute of Technology, very good, very short—you know, if you’re a conservative Asura, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Asura, they would say I'm one of the tallest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Asura they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Metrica, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a golem—you know I have to give my height credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged— but you look at what's going on with the four taller races—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the Charr are taller now than the Asura, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Sylvari are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

That was till some little rat looking Asura warrior thing gnawed my ankles off.. now everyone calls me stumpy and I am short and no one respects me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an Asura, I know that I am right. Always. Do you hear me. **Always**. ## AND YOU KNOW THAT! YOU ALL DO. (Actually, who cares about that? The commander did so much for everyone, it's okay to slip here and there. Because learning from possible mistakes is the reason why we Asura are the concentrated magnificence!) Also, if you think about it, the Asura are the one playable species that had to start all over. That's why they've caved it into the walls of their buildings, and basically, the first few lines are right: `We are the asura, lords of the deep domains that are now denied to us. Overwhelmed by numbers, power, and brute force, we have been forced to this open sunfilled world and forced to recreate our civilisation. That we have succeeded is a testament to the indomitable spirit and innate intelligence of our people. In every day and with every invention we rebuild our world and bend reality to match our needs.` And still we are secretly ruling the place. Without us, the Asura, you would still be stuck in medieval times. . . Whatever that could mean, Tyria does not have that time period after all. Excelsior.

Gehenna.3625 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Poor Taimi suffers from this. When she talks to tall people, she has to shout so they can hear her. Sadly with the communicator she forgets that she doesn't need to shout... What can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evon Skyfyre.9673 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It would seem in Guild Wars, thankfully it is not an issue. But it is not a silly question. In another game my character has black fur and braided hair. I have been the subject of racial slurs etc. Sounds stupid but some are as they are no matter what. Again thankfully, in GW2, we have a our issues, but we're still an awesome community! Oh, and Asurans, ROCK! My Sylvari is as short as possible. I made her that way for jump puzzles. She is super fast and nimble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalendraf.9521 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The OP's question is obviously misstated. We already know that Asura are important, and that everyone else is a bookah. Thus, the correct question to ask would have been "Are bookahs important?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithranArkanere.8957 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It doesn't matter whether people think asura are important or not, they think themselves important enough for everyone else's share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal or is this silly Brah, lemme tell you this, auras are the coolest creative interesting and funniest toons you will see in gw2 and theyre easily noticed if you look trolly, BUT if you want to dwelve into fashion wars and look hot or cool, Human is the best choice, btw human fashion wars is no joke thing :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icemanfrost.5428 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Sometimes I don't look as big as everyone else. I wonder if think I am contributing to the team that because I am so short and even shorter compared to Norm or Charr maybe I'm not as important equally as everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyKitty.6120 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Btw, it's not like asura are short really. Kitty now went to aerodrome to compare her asura to other player characters and she easily rivals them.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lana.5276 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm incredulous to think that someone would actually pose a question of this caliber. That's basically asking are taller people more important than shorter ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
