Guild Wars 2

problem:
a) shortest asura heights make telegraph animations difficult to see.
b) tallest norn and charr heights makes telegraph animations very easy to see.

solution:
a) rescale every character in sPvP to max human male height, regardless of race or gender.
~asura will no longer have the distinct advantage
~norn and charr will no longer have the distinct disadvantage.

counterargument:
but it’s not realistic to have asura as tall as norn!

rebuttal:
it’s not realistic that a 3 foot tall asura can run as fast as a 15 foot tall norn, but that concession needed to be made for gameplay balance. further, if asura are to maintain the advantage of hardly visible animations, than maybe they should be forced to trade off landspeed for it in sPvP.

additional commentary

a) the races seem to have been designed to provide for PvE flavor:
~different sizes,
~different personal stories,
~different additional PvE healing, utility, and elite skills.
b) of the PvE flavor, only race size made it into sPvP, and should therefore be removed from the format for consistency

apologies if this has already been discussed to death.

Another idea would be to bind the range of the attacks and the movementspeed to the body height. That would d**kslap all filthy asuras out there.

Fine with me. I’d love the advantage on my max-height charr.

In seriousness, though, they definitely need to do something to make Asura animations more readable.
