Arenanet, it is time for us to be able to create a new character straight into the Heart of the Mists, and avoid the monotonous starting zones.

Please express your support, community.

Why would this require a new client?

They did this in GW1. When you created a new character, you had the option to make it PvP Only.

The trick is just to join off a friend in hotm and you will be able to skip the intro story.

In case I was not clear, just have a friend join a hot join match and then click join friend in pvp. You will have whatever starter stuff they give you, but you can exit to the mist and change your stuff.

Except you don’t get that option. The Crossed Swords icon doesn’t appear until after the storyline quest.

<3 thank you so much, that’s brilliant.

ANet, please just give a skip intro story option on character creation, even if it’s not a pvp only toon. I personally despise that overly scripted spoon feed you story crap. Just let me play the kitten game.

except there are 5 slots and 8 classes.
plus you’ll want your pve chars to be something awesome like a gigantic norn or charr but its practically mandatory for pvp chars to be asura or suffer a handicap.

what we need: the ability to make a new character straight into the mists,
load a trait/skill loadout,
load a gear/rune/sigil loadout,
queue for the games within a minute of making your asura ^cough^ i mean pvp character.

did i say pvp was impossible on a race that is’nt asura? no
i said you’ll be handicapped.
it’s not an argument its a proven observation.
ask yourself, who is more likely to catch someone out with 100b?
the tiny little asura who’s animations all look the same?
or the big norn with their obvious “I’M-CASTING-HUNDRED-BLADES-MOVE-NOW” animation?
thats if you can even see the animation of the asura,
in a busy fight they can stand inside other characters/pets/clones/minions,
giving you no way of seeing what weapon/skill they’re using until they’ve already hit you with it.

probably it is because im a thief so i usually dont teamfight melee. but honestly, watching a little asura with GS or a big char with GS for me means only he will bull’s to me. same dodge to win.
i agree asuras have advantages, but im not handicapped and i don’t think if i lose against dedicated teams it was because they used asuras.

btw i hope a race fix for asuras. i hate them, they are awful

Hammerheart is right, even considering Interrupts advice to join on a friend in a hotjoin. Anyone that disagrees with HH are wrong and a fgt. peace

If you are that upset at GW2 then you just look like an idiot for sticking around. -Bongwizard Slubs
