Nox.7912 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Save for Humans and Norn Women, Most of the Sylvari are ugly and have of bark for skin :# and the race is only 25 years old and for the other races, I do not want to look like an animal. Is ArenaNet going to include more races in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Hide.6345 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I love my male and female Sylvari characters. I find the humans and especially the Norn boring to look at. Heck, I can't even make a Norn character because they are too monstrously big. I prefer Charr(The abandoned race by A-net) over Norn character model and looks.

Haishao.6851 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 We don't need new race, just a better character maker with lots of options so we can actually make good looking characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when I said the Sylvari were mostly ugly I meant most of the NPC's a lot of the players have nice looking Sylvari and I just can't get into beast races I love the khajiit and Argonains from the Elder Scrolls series but I would never play one and I love how the charr is inspired by the Roman Empire I don't know much about the other beast race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griever.8150 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Humans are there for all of your Kawaii Waifu needs. I'm actually quite happy with the diversity of races and customisation we have, compared to other MMOs (ie WoW has a lot more races but about only 5 ways to customize them while FF14 races are basically all generic anime humans with or without animal traits). I wouldn't mind seeing playable Tengus eventually though. I personally mostly play Charr characters and actually appreciate the efforts they put into making them a standalone race, instead of just screwing a cat's head on a human body like some other franchises do (ie Elder Scrolls).

Shanna.4762 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I also think the Sylvari tend to be quite ugly, you can make good looking ones but you have to get creative with the skin texture you choose, and colors, etc. I've seen some really great looking Sylvari, but it's pretty rare. I liked the old Sylvari concept a lot better than I like the current design, it would be nice if they would add some of those in for some variety, at some point, but I doubt it.

Alchofas.8243 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 What we have other races? They all look the same to me. Healthy person, Giant Person, Hairy Person, Small Person, Sickly Person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'll take my asura any day over boring, bland humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysenberry.1869 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I kind of doubt they will ever add any new races to the game. The amount of work in just redoing armors alone (unless it's just another generic humanoid type) would be too much. Fortunately, the game already has the most perfect race imaginable. Asura master race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyria.6103 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Whaaaa???? Humans and Norn are my least favorite of the races. I have a toon of every race...but I've never seen the appeal to multiple varieties of different humans. I'd choose having Tengu characters over Dwarves any day...despite loving the Dwarven lore. Too easy to see them as 'short humans' unless they do something spectacular with the models and give them all cool statuary effects (mossy, glowy cracked statues, etc etc).

Zenith.7301 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Male norn are simply deformed. They are hunchbacked, their heads are undersized to their upper body, they got chicken legs with big thigh gaps and their shoulders are curved down instead of wide and straight. They have a drooping chest as well. It's so obvious how little attention and polish went to the male norn model compared to the female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alga.6498 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hopefully Tengu will become playable race in our 3rd Expansion..... I would love to see something new, high reqeusted and we know so little about them. Largos could be a nice playable race too, if we'll get that Underwater expansion. I mean, who do not want to be a blue skinned dark elf with Russian accent and with cool water gear? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellisande.5218 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Sylvari are gorgeous! They have 2 AMAZING faces to choose from! Humans have 1 good face, Norn have 1 good face. The Asura females are super cute mice with teeth. The males are very ugly. It is only the Charr that are too ugly to look at. Tengu would be too ugly as well. Centaurs could work because the females have an attractive upper half and the bottom half is already a mount. The males are ugly so they would be on par with the Asura.

DeadTreeJig.6714 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Male Norns and Asura are hard for me to look at. The male Sylvari look fine standing still, but they look silly when they run. I vote for playable Kodan, they look awesome. Until then I will settle for my endless Kodan tonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Male Norns would be ten times as awesome if we were allowed to hide our Chest armour to show off our Governator physique and totally rad tats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DearlyMe.5320 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Course some sylvari have bark for skin, they're plants. Odd choice of word when that is what they're made of. Some of the female skin looks as soft as flower petals~ There is this pretty purple sylvari in snapdragon clothing I see sometimes~ But I was disappointed to see most of the NPCs in a similar shade of brown or green when there's so much can be done with them. I find humans quite boring. I like playing my three, but when it comes to their culture, it's nothing new. The Orian humans, now~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einlanzer.1627 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The two worst models by far are norn and asura males. Norn males have very bad proportions while also being too similar to humans in the face (the latter is somewhat true of the females, but less so) Asura male faces are inexplicably really ugly while the female faces are really cute I think the others are all pretty solid, including the Charr.

Kururu.8140 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I can just imagine if GW2 had nothing but humans and norn going around. It would be so dull and boring- I see enough of those bland monkeys irl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anivers.6935 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I love sylvari. Even the ugly ones. I think they are unusual. Also "beauty" of a character is quite subjective. I only play sylvari but I like seeing other races around. Can't play human females because they have boobs bigger than their heads. Coupling with some children faces it looks... But again, it's all subjective. Maybe someone likes to play as a 12 year old girl with D size :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
