Turkeyspit.3965 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Every character I rolled I did so because I wanted to try out the profession, not the race. In each case I chose the race and gender I felt would match my vision for the profession, and how I would play it. Adding a new race wouldn't incentivize me to roll a new character, though a new profession might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Charr with green fur, raven helmet and mantle using longbow all done. I don't get the hype, for me tengu are no more than skritts, largos, grawls, ogres, quaggans... secondary non-playable races. Want it? Tonic.

DeanBB.4268 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I don't want any new races. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYLO.7031 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I don't care for them either. We have furries (Charr), bookahs big and smol, salads, and brainies for PC as well as pointies (Choya), cute splashies (Quaggan), featheries (Tengu), ninja splashies (Largos) and others as NPC. Why play all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 i couldn't care any less for tengu to be honest. as for new races in general I'd like that as long as it's humanoid, starts at lv 80 after all current events, and share a body model with another race so it's actually less work and has an actual chance of ever happening.

Warlord.9082 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Nope. I'm not interested either. On the subject of why people want it: no idea. Rather see an entirely new creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how I wish Revs were blocked from the GW2 core story and should've had their own starting instance and started at level 60+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYLO.7031 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Going back to Tengu, I think there would be more work to do in terms of lore and story continuity both past and present. In short, the people who want it will have standards for Tengu that the devs would have to honor and uphold to some degree. Largos is the mysterious race where they can really just show off their creativity since there isn't much about them. Also, they just splashed Kralk in the middle of the endless ocean. Isn't that where the Largos live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that where the Largos live? kralk is nowhere near the middle of the unending ocean, more like slightly out of ideal fishing range. and i'd think largos would be less mysterious if they lived that close to shorelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elothar.4382 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not interested at all. In fact, I am completely ambivalent about a new playable race. I am happy with what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH.2879 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 A couple new playable races would be most welcome with there own unique story lines. Tengu wouldn't be my first choice.... I'd rather have something like SKRITT..... >> Shinies!!! They'd be cute & I'm quite sure ANET could do some very fun/innovative & hilarious things with there storylines. They could quite easily merge there story arc with the existing ones without too many issues. I'd love to see a Skritt's take/viewpoint/dialogue on all of the things that have happened in core tyria & beyond. Plus alot of there character animations are already in-game so I don't imagine this would be as overwhelming as starting a completely new race from scratch! Whom wouldn't want to see a Skritt as the commander! I'm certain it'd be fun! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Its a very loud minority. It isn't really feasible either since it would use up so much dev time to update all older content and cosmetics to fit on Tengu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don’t have any real interest in them. New elite professions and new mechanics such as gliding or mounts changes the game in important ways. A new race essentially only brings new skins to the game, seeing as it’s unlikely that the personal story will be reworked to add them. I already have all the characters I can reasonably play even if I rotate evenly between them and another new char just for a new skin (that will mostly be covered up with armor anyway) doesn’t offer enough for me to want to buy or ask ANet to spend dev time and money on developing it. If they do add something like Tengu then I expect to see a lot of complaining when their toes or feathers clip through the armor and when people realize they don’t have their own personal story or if they can’t level it if the new race starts at level 80, as some have suggested.

VDAC.2137 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don’t have any interest in the tengu myself, although I would be all for their addition as a playable race if the interest generated in the game would be worth however much work would be required (and I have no idea about that).

Not really. Tengu are Charr with different skin. It's the same skeleton as Charr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edelweiss.4261 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 My only concern with more race options is that I remember hearing that making armor/outfits for our multiple races is already limiting armor/outfit output. Given this, I certainly would rather see more armor than a new race. Fashion wars and all. It's a shame because back when I played SWtOR, I was always excited for new races.
