The minis show how much cares about us
You’ve got to be kidding me…
Armors: It’s not “human male” armor — all armor sets look the same on all asura, all charr and male humans, sylvari and norn. Then, of course, asura have their three cultural armor sets as all races do, and they’re beautiful.
Weapons: The weapon scaling issue is not easy to solve. You just can’t have asuras walking around with norn-sized greatswords. If you wanted to have a giant weapon for everybody to look at, you should have rolled one of the other races. Alternatively, you can offset the problem somewhat by making your asura as tall as possible.
On top of that, consider the things that asuras have that the other races do not:
- Arguably the strongest/most fun beginning personal story arc.
- Consistently good voice acting. Seriously. It’s virtually unanimously agreed that asuras got all the good voice casting in this game.
- The fact that both Lost Shores and Wintersday primarily featured asura: Lost Shores introduced Dessa (who oversees the entire fractals dungeon), and Tixx is the MC for this year’s Wintersday. And uh, I guess the herald for Halloween was asuran too, if that counts.
I’d say that of all the races in the game, the Asura are right there on the top of most explored races, and the ones that received the most attention. Their dialogues are just really amusing and the voice acting, as said, is very good. Besides all that, the animations are detailed and I can’t help it but feel that the developers made good use of their time creating them. Overall, the Asura race is very well designed, all clipping issues aside.
i love my toy golem, its really nice with the moveing parts and the sound it makes. and it glows really nicely in dark areas
and how are asura neglected. its just bugs (that every race have got to) that will be fixed intime.
just please anet fix tier 1 pistol animation on asura. it fired human height when used by asura QQQQ

I love my toy golem.
If you don’t, perhaps you’re a bookah.
Are you kidding me, the toy golem is the cutest thing ever. Why wouldn’t you want your own Mr. Sparkles? :C Plus we even have an Asuran Wintersday.
The only complaint about Asura armor I have is that my toes clip through the shoes and the headpiece clips through my hair. Don’t all races have the same armor (besides the cultural armor) anyways?
for armor. same designed but adapted for each race. and male / female asura share exact same models while male/female human norn plant hippy elf things have 1 for male 1 for female.
