Guild Wars 2

“Last chance to nail down your strategy!”
“Clocktower captured!”
“They took the Henge!”
Great lines! But it would be greater if we have multiple voices saying them, no?

Ho there,
I’d like to see the structured-PvP Announcer getting new sets based on the player’s race.
The “Big Nose Ted” announcer we now hear is very Norn-ish.
And while I like him to stay that way, i would like to see some variety (same lines, but different voices!)when I’m playing as a non-Norn character.

For example, when I play as a Sylvari, hearing a Sylvari voice shouting “You’ve seized Wolf!” is more adequate.

Just my 2 cents. What do you guys think?

edit: Pixelpumpkin’s suggestion would also work

Many players stick to the same character in sPvP, so they would still hear the same voice all day, just that it would be a different one.

But you could randomize it or make it dependent on the map:

Khylo – Human
Foefire – Charr
Niflhel – Sylvari
Spirit Watch – Norn
Capricorn – Asura
Aaaaand since there’s currently 6 maps: Temple – Kodan.

Demosthene.2195:

“Do I have to draw you a picture!?”

Pirate guy was fine before he got sterilised. Now he’s just annoying, since his half-hearted attempt at being condescending isn’t convincing anymore.

I say, give us our old announcer back, and sell some new voice packs in cash shop (starting with female narrator).

I would also welcome more diversity there, although I wouldn’t make it depend on the player race.

… or something along those lines anyway.

Kodan voice on Temple of the Silent Storm works perfectly for me.
I don’t see Asusa on Crappy-corn (sorry, couldn’t help), though. Makes little sense lorewise.
Either ways thanks for agreeing!

Khylo – human
Foefire – 50% human (originally 100)
Niflhel – human
Capricorn – human (the buildings, the ruins, and even the ship)

Btw.

I just tried to shoehorn every race in there for balanced distribution.

Niflhel is based on Norse lore, and I think the Son of Svanir in there is also a good indicator that it is more Norn than Human…

… but I think all in all, the PvP maps are too Human-inspired (WvW maps are even worse for that) and I would like to see more PvP maps with a strong influence of the other races and their home territory.

Hell, I’d pay for more announcer options. Be able to select whichever one you want… That’d be neat.
