Guild Wars 2

I have played both human and sylvari up to about level 25 and I hardly see asura players at all. Are they all high level or what? I thought I would see at least a few leveling up but i think ive seen maybe 4 on both characters since ive been leveling that are not npc and not in their home zone.

Your server may just have a low Asura population. It could also be blamed on something called culling where you see fewer people than are actually there. With culling you could actually have twenty Asura running around you and you would never know because you can’t see them and they can’t see you http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Culling

I do feel a little alone sometimes in PvE. It just doesn’t seem like I see many fellow Asura, but when I go to WvW I see Asura absolutely everywhere.

hmm ok. I think our server has a low asura population for pve or low levels. It also could be that culling. I dont know. Maybe I will see them when I finally pvp or wvw.

Lol, culling rarely happens anymore, that’s not a vaid argument. It’s probably not popular on your server. They’re not popular here on SoS too but in WvW, CD seems to have them a lot. Especially thieves and mesmers.

I like asura, but I shelved mine because I got sick of their weapons shrinking to toy size any time they were sheathed.

I remember there was infographic on the race breakdown, and asura were near the bottom. People like larger characters that they can show off their armor and weapons on more clearly. The exception are the PVP areas, where asura’s small animations make opponents harder to see their skill tells, making them have a slight advantage (I’ve seen that complaint on the WvW and sPVP forums).
