Guild Wars 2

Surely a humanoid tribal frog creature would not speak like a regular human being who lives in the city? I would expect a creative and intelligent use of sounds that we would associate with frogs, and perhaps tribes as well. When I first heard the Sylvari speak, I was anticipating some really cool plant-like voice -perhaps somewhat raspy and crunchy almost, then I come to find they are speaking like normal humans, with no defining accent or unique sounds… this was a huge let down for me, as it just completely destroyed a whole possible level of immersion for me.

You kind of did it right for me with the Charr… especially with the intro cinematic where the speaker has a nice deep, rumbling voice which represents their large and intimidating appearence.

Take a bird that is able to mimic human speech such as a myna bird or a parrot. The voice that comes out is not a human voice, but it is a parrot making a human noise and anyone can tell it is not an actual human voice.

All I’d like is for the races voices to at least represent their unique forms and

My question to Arena Net is: will you guys be updating the voices of the races to make them more unique and interesting?
