Guild Wars 2

Evolving in the game since a while, I noticed that as one goes along the Trading company of the black lion proposed very interesting services for the customization of a character.
Then my question is: when the lion will suggest us the choice of changing races in exchange for some gemstones?
You will tell me: " you has the choice to create a new character with the same class "
Yes but when we spent many time, love, gold, equipments bound has the soul, I feel a certain reluctance to begin again everything especially that I do not look for the quantity of creation of character but rather a customisation of a character which we wish to deepen.
Ex: " I shall like to be more massive because I am a tank in WcW but I am azura and with the complete kit of transformation I cannot increase more that it is possible for my race. "
Or converse
I am a Norn tank and I shall like testing the racial spell of the azura for my spé / built etc…
Other example could be quoted but I shall be held in these both who summarizes the need for a racial kit of transformation: the physical characteristics bound to the race and racial skills.
Thank you for your understanding:p
See you in game!

+1 for effort.

But its not gonna happen. Explaination in the various other threads on this topic-

OK I understands for the player who begins in gw2, but find us a solution for veteran characters 80+ for a long time:

Ex: the personal story of every race joins at the end of the lvl 50+, that means the racial kit of transformation shall be available at a certain level to max level

It is possible that a person developed his character without the personal story and is 80 level
If the person wants to use a racial kit of transformation:

- he does not bring importance for the personal story and search other aspects of the game.

- he wishes to begin a personal story with his character in a different race
(new way of discovering the personal stories without being obliged to create a character)

- he even so make a part of his personal story but stopped what means that the racial kit of transformation acts at a certain level of the personal story

Yeah I would love to see it and it SEEMS easy enough to implement in several ways… Probably won’t ever happen though…boggles my mind why anet would bypass all the money people are willing to spend on it though.

Propably becaue they think the projected profit wouldnt cover the expenses, even though you make an opposite claim.

I don’t think cost really factors in on this particular case, the run around they’ve given that ive seen in the past from them is generally that they don’t want to mess the personal story up for the character or there was some sort of difficulty surrounding that…. But resetting that should be easy enough…

Again, it seems easy but there is a ton of stuff in the background that you have to be aware of and making any changes could really technically screw up the game.

And as mentioned above, the costs are a big factor, which is predominately resource based. You end up reallocating designers/programmers from other more important projects towards a feature that not many people would use either way.

And then Anet would charge a huge premium for a racial kit transformation and they would be labeled as ‘greedy’. It’s a lose-lose.

What I propose it is that there is an available racial kit of transformation for those who wishes use it and those who wishes to keep their character as it stands is not to oblige to buy it.

Roughly: Have the possibility of choosing to change or not.

Personally, the race is a component of the character, as its class, its name, its sex, its haircut, his guild etc…

To keep a direction in the personal story, the racial kit of transformation, shall be accessible that certain level of the personal history seen as after " the battle of the island of the claw " has if I am not mistaken all the stories join.

More simply it would be accessible that having completely finished the personal story.

During the use of a racial kit of transformation, a quote shall be implemented in our personal story explaining the choice of the racial change, if it is need to keep a coherence (where we come from, where we go),

For the fact of all which is bound to the race (armors, skills, skin etc.) it will be necessary to make a choice for those who wishes to use the kit.

Wait, who ever mentioned mandatory race changes?

I know that real life comparisons with a game should always be taken with a grain of salt but right now it is possible to change your character, your class/profession, your name, your haircut, even your sex in real life.

But a race change? Only 1 person pulled it off and we all know how Michael Jackson ended up.

Players have a lot of reasons why there shouldn’t be race changes.

As far as I’ve seen, ArenaNet has never made a statement agreeing with any of them. All they’ve ever said on the subject is that there are currently no plans to provide race changes.

So there remains hope, though perhaps very dim, for people who want this.
