Goettel.4389 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It's silly, but likable ;-) Edit: my Asura is not a little troll and she's beautiful, dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 There are actually two possible advantages to playing Asura over larger races: 1) you MIGHT be more likely to be disregarded in a pvp/wvw situation where a larger, flashily outfitted type draws more eyes. 2) I find it much easier to see what I'm doing on a JP or in a tight space as Asura, where the graphic of my avatar isn't occupying the entire space and making it difficult.

Who made the first engineers, guns, gunpowder, printing press, submarines, and tanks? THE CHARR! Don't get me wrong, asuran magic-tech is indeed impressive, but the charr have the best overall technology. Case in point: remember what happened to the waypoints in living story season 2? Mordremoth ate them. And who made those? The asura. Has any of the dragons tried to eat charr tech? Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ...you *are* trolling, right? :tongue: Your race - whether you're a charr, an asura, a human, norn, or sylvari - has NOTHING to do with what you can do to contribute to the team. At all. Whatsoever. Game mechanics treat everyone equally, from the tallest and broadest norn, to the shortest and scrawniest asura. Play what you want to play.

Pax.3548 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I remember once in wvw I saw somebody using the ugliest asura I've ever seen. The asura was male with a face similar to plunt's and he was dressed like a princess, all white and pink and with white bunny ears if IIRC, he creeped the hell out of me but I thouth the player who made this asura was a genius xd even now, though it was the ugliest toon I've seen in gw2 at the moment, it was also one of the greatest as it is the only one that made me laugh (in a good way). So, my point is, don't worry about it, create whatever you want. Not always the good looking toons get the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icemanfrost.5428 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I keep getting the feeling in PVP because I am smaller they think I am not as strong or helping out as much. I sometimes wonder myself if I am important while doing quests everyone is so much bigger than me. It's hard to see the details on my outfit up close because I am so small, but you can see details in other outfits without having to be up close.

VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 nah, the colleges are more than the broken american highschools. Not to mention that joining a krewe is completely optional. Scarlet was a genius that bested asura left and right. Which tells you everything you need to know about asura. They think of themselves very highly. But apart from shiny gadgets and the gate network - that is pre surface technology - they haven't been THAT successful lately. Give me a charr engineer over an asura genius any time. The charr will deliver. The genius will babble a lot and finally blow himself up in a humorous lab accident.

Hwrs Xander.2845 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What the tiny geniuses lack in looks and height is compensated by their ingenuity. Pretty hilarious seeing the game from their height perspective, in a WvW "zerg" often I have no idea where my tiny Mesmer is at if I don't jump up, all I see are legs... lots of hairy legs.
