Guild Wars 2

So if ANet needs an idea how to make Cantha playable but still with a new twist why not create a large expansion (after we’ve discovered all the zones in Tyria so let’s say in two years) where we’d have humans OFC but introduced with new playable races. There have been many rumours that Tengu might be playable. Why not make them playable in Cantha content?
It’s the perfect fitting for them IMO. Instead of having a continent revolve around Canthans, lets have a continent revolve around Tengu (Shing Jea Island), Kurzick (a humanoid elves or some sort of tree folk – which would be different then Sylvari and they would live on the trees of Echovald Forest having this heavy connected roads from tree to tree) and Luxons (a marine type of folks who live in the underwater city of Cavalon). And Kaineng City would be just a submerged ruins similar to LA’s ruins in GW1.
This way we’d still see our beloved Cantha in a new enviroment (after all Tyria is still new in GW2 then what it was in GW1) but we’d avoid all the drama that it caused on the forums.

This would probably take a while to build but could be done IMO and would probably be done faster then GW2 content was because they already have the models and thye know now what works and what doesn’t.
Also the two years is a minimum because Tyria still has a lot of unexplored content that will be added later on, but wouldn’t be bad if they placed a team to make at elast foundations for the expansion.

EDIT: Sorry for grammar mistakes and typos.

Some nice ideas there but, they don’t follow the lore that was introduced in the GW1 “Winds of Change” story:

“The tengu from Cantha were expelled by Emperor Usoku as he removed all non-human races from the land and were the last to leave Cantha – as such, they have the most information on what happened there.” – GW2 wiki

The emperor of Cantha kicked the Tengu out of his country some time before Zaithan rose and blocked naval traffic between Tyria and Cantha. The Tegnu now live on the shores of the Sea of Sorrows in their walled off section of the world called the “Dominion of Wind”.

As for the Kurzik and Luxons, aside from the fact that non-humans were kicked out of Cantha, how would you explain that these two human clans are now something else?

I am sure ArenaNet has plans to bring us back to both Elona and Cantha and I, for one, will let them choose the best way to get us there.

Well 250 years of evolution and the fact that Zaithan was so powerfull to submerge Kaineng City and it’s districts made Kurzick and Luxons isolate and in time they starter adapting to the new enviroment. And since it’s a fantasy world their evolution is quite faster then in real world. Or… their “evolution” was just a simple gene mutation after some horrible things that the Emperor did to his nation after they started rebelling against him. Most Canthans fled the country just in time not to get swallowed by the massive waves Zhaitan sent their way, but not the Emperor and his subjects.
As for Tengu, some decided to check out what happened to their homeland and once the rumours spread that the Emperor is gone they started returning home.

I just wanna see the Tengu become a playable race. However Anet chooses to make that happen, so long as the lore is interesting, I will be happy.
