Guild Wars 2

I know it’s never going to happen – it’s neither necessary nor cost-effective – but I’d personally pay a decent chunk of money for a different voice file for humans. Don’t get me wrong, the voice actors they went with did a fine enough job. But certain voices just don’t match certain looks. Plus, playing a new, different looking character that sounds exactly like one I’ve spent more than a few hours with doesn’t quite feel “new”.

This is a thing what should been choosed at Character Generation (at least the playing shounds, LORE narration would be huge & costs mutch more $)
We may see this option mutch later. I hope so.

An Austrian accent for my Norn? My wallet is ready

Imagine, having the voice of Scarlet for my toons. I support this idea, and will pay top Gem prices for it!!! Esp. when I can /laugh to hear her giggle.

An Austrian accent for my Norn? My wallet is ready

Sounds intriguing but will never happen. Best thing you can do, is to kindly ask Anet for the audio lines your character says during gameplay. With that list, go search for an Austrian Voice actor (different accent in every valley!!) and ask him what payment he wants to record these lines. Look for a studio, add rent and wages for the actor and start a kickstarter. Raise the money needed to provide the voice over audio files yourself to Anet. Lets say the voice over will cost 10€/$ in gems, so everybody who chipped in 10 bucks for the kickstarter, will get the voice over for free, while Anet keeps the revenue for additional voice overs purchased for implementing it.

Problem solved.

This will not make you any money but will score your goal, while you get credited for the assist.

And i guess it would be a nice feeling to be part of the creational process of a game you enjoy to play.

A little off topic: I realized that one of the sailing vessels pictured in the Frostgorge Sound Loading screen was a photoshop job from a real picture of a tall ship i sailed on for a year. As that Ship unfortunately sank a couple of years ago off the coast of South America, i feel happy everytime i load into that map, as it shows me a picture of a home of mine that doesnt exist anymore.

This would be a really neat thing to have, especially to distinguish yourself from others of your same race/gender. I think revoicing the entire game might be pricey, but even if they just added new voices to the open world, that’d be the place you and others would hear it most and I still think it’d be worth it.

I would pay serious gems for a Morgan Freeman voice-over pack.

500 gems for Scarlett Johansson.

I don’t even pay much attention to looks, and I still would of wanted the ability to select my character’s voice from maybe 6 choices.
I’d probably even pay for a makeover kit just to select it.

what would also be good: make your own. read a bunch of sentences, crop them yourself, put the files in the proper spot; it’s your voice on your character! (probably a lot of female characters sounding like dudes and visa versa…)

This is my thoughts on what they could do for this (pasted from another post)

I think “Personality Packs” would be great. I get pretty in-depth making my characters. I kinda make-up back-stories and everything. Everything from their look to their name is cohesive, in my mind at least. Sadly, I have no control over the most important thing of all, in a game that shows my character interacting with others with voice-work, PERSONALITY! I know there’s the built in dignity, ferocity, and charm aspect, but I would like to choice a personality from the character creation onset. I would want a personality pack to provide a full blown personality option for any kind of character. This would include both mannerisms in dialogue, stylized dialogue, and a fitting voice.
For example: I made my male Asura engineer to be kinda kooky looking and his name is Tinker Gizmo. I envision him as a engineering genius in a cooky, unstable, twitchy sort of way. So I would love an option like “Crazy Personality” where his eyes would kinda go buggy and twitchy when talking and he would go off-tangents in discussion and his voice would sound well….like a cooky asura’s would (versus regal like they sound now). I also want a true “Ferocious” personality where my character actually shows anger, yells, and almost pushes the boundaries of “good”. I made my female Sylvari elementalist named Ignacia Bloom. I envisioned her to be basically ‘consumed’ by fire and very hot tempered, but the dialogue prompts and scenes just don’t convey that in any way. While I don’t mind the voice for the female Sylvari in this particular case, I just want her Personality to be different.
Another aspect that can be changed depending on the personality you’ve given your character, outside of voice and talking style, could be the emotes. If a character has a “Crazy/Maniacal” personality then they could have a goofy/maniacal /laugh /threaten, /dance, etc.
I know this would be quite a bit of work with both voice-overs and animations, but it would be something I’d spend money on very quickly to make my character that much more ‘unique’ to me.

Edit* – oh and another thing I thought of that could be ‘improved’ through a personality pack could be new idle standing animations. The animations your character does after standing still for so long. There’s lots of stuff you can do there to ‘show off’ your character’s personality in a way that OTHER people see too!

Edit 2* – To clarify, this would be a feature that would be available at character creation, so it would work for any future characters you make. There could also be a one-time-use pack, like a make-over kit, to apply to an existing character. The account wide one would be quite a bit more expensive of course.

Personality packs would be absolutely incredible. I’d pay 1000 gems for a totally insane Charr voice over pack for my engineer.

I would love to give a high-pitched female voice to my large, mustached male norn.

I would pay big money for a voice change as well. I have 4 asura. I hate that they all sound exactly the same, especially since they are all so different. I’d like a deeper voice for my warrior for sure. Even if they just rehire some of the people that did the npc voices I’d be happy. Plenty of asura males have deeper voices.

I’d love this! I find my humans voice is way to annoying so I just keep sound down so I don’t have to hear her. But I’d love a french/European accent
