Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve been seeing alot of people wanting the Skritt released as a playable race. This won’t work, as the Skritt are too small. What if Anet made an event where a new race appears due to some underground tremors or something. The new race could be a larger species in the same family as Skritt, with a very deep mining culture(no pun intended).

Any feedback as to what you think?

No.
The reason skritt wont do as playable is not their size, their size is fine really. It is the hivemind thing… a single skritt is simply too dumb to be a hero. And playing with a group… don’t see it happening.
I honestly think what was hiding underground have already emerged… destroyers down there now. We also already got an underground race with deep mining culture (dredge). The addition to lore to justify such a new race, would imo risk of seeming too forced.

I am not against the addition of never before known races to appear in the future, but rather see them on new continents.
However there are perfectly viable options for playable races among those we already know… or at least one. Tengu should definitely be the next playable one.
I know a lot of people want kodan, but that as I see it would mean a rewamp of what kodan is, which may not be overly desireable at this stage of the game.

I love the way new race threads always link back to the Tengu

Though I would not mind seeing friendly dredge again, ain’t saw those guys since GW:Factions

Lots of nice ideas you guys have, it got me thinking and heres my idea of a new race: A mermaid/merman race which uses Spear, Spearguns and Trident underwater and on land. Kinda like have special powers to morph into mermaids in water but transform into humanoid form legs when they get to land but retains a coral sea creature look.

I like the way the dwarves look in GuildWars 1.

Dwarfs are gone due to the battle with the Great Destroyer at the end of GW:EotN.
