Hello.
I would like to ask a simple question about race changing.

Would it be possible for ArenaNet to add a check box for our personal story and allow us to change our race?

For example:
You click on the Race Change Kit and you then costumize your character.
After that you get a list of all the personal story missions, for the new race you have chosen, up to the mission you currently are at, and then you just click on the missions you want to.

Orders(aka. the Vigil etc.) wouldn’t have to be a problem, cus they could just make it so you couldn’t change your order.

And cultural armour would just be converted to the cultural armour of the new race you chose

Would this be possible to make or is it too complicated?

I think a more likly scenario is this:

You buy a race change pack that takes effect on the login screen (i.e. before you select which character to play). You are only able to use it on characters who have completed the entire personal story. You lose your cultural armor and have to buy a new set.

I’d just want to know for sure if it’s coming or it’s out of question.

I can totally wait it to get in, i can totally go on and redo a char… i’d just want to know for sure if wait or go on.

Inbefore redoing a char and seeing race change pop up 2 weeks later.

Seafarer’s Rest EU – PvE/WvW – 8 × 80 chars.
Most used: Guard/Mes/War/Nec/Ele.
Yes, i use 5 chars at time. Because REASONS.

Couldn’t agree with you more.

If the answer is yes, I can wait; If no, I can make up my mind and reroll a new character.

Many month ago, I had a Charr Engineer. He was the smallest, thinnest size, using an ugly face and looked bad in pretty much all level 80 trenchcoats I could find. I wanted at the very least change the body/face/fur, that would be acceptable just to keep an 80 character. After enduring it for a while, I said kitten it, deleted him and created an Asura Engineer instead. I did some hardcore leveling on him. Less than a week after my new Engineer was 80… Makeover kit.

Said it before, saying it again – only allow it for 80’s that has completed story. Cultural armor is a loss, it will unequip if you have it. Home instance remain the same. Change the story arc called “I’m [Character Name]” to include the fact that you where raised by another race (this “explain” the rest of the story that is still in place).

Why would you have to lose your cultural armour?
I doubt many people would want to farm them twice.

Why would you have to lose your cultural armour?

Because you’re no longer part of that culture.

also, because the models don’t allow it.

race change will never be an option, just make a new character.

If they don’t offer a race change, they at least should make legendaries account bound so you can reroll if you want without losing all the time invested for the legendary. Already would be bad enough losing multiple armor skins and weapons. Ad no, transmutting the legendary to a white weapon then to the new toon isn’t a good option since it will change the weapon which will make it no longer eligible for the BiS upgrades.
