Guild Wars 2

out of all seriousness i know if we got race changes it would effect our storyline blah blah blah ME AND ALOT OF OTHERS WANT THIS! there will be away around the storyline bulkitten, im sick of being a kitteny lettuce looking person! i want to be norn!
please bring in race changes asap!

Devs have repeatedly said this is not being considered right now. Just roll an alt.

I hit 80 with my Sylvari Guardian and I wish I would have chosen a Charr.

I Wouldn’t mind having it set that you cannot change your character race until you have completed the entire storyline. That way you wouldn’t have any issue with the storyline. Or maybe, you could go back and run through that new race storyline.

Also, This should be designed for lvl 80 players who have the want to change races. This is purely cosmetic in reason (as Arena Net has always been a huge fan of). I would gladly buy the gems to do this.

translating your post:

“i know exactly why it can’t be done and how it would break the game, BUT I DON’T CARE I WANT IT, BREAK YOUR GAME ANET, I DON’T WANT AN ALT”.

A race change would require a reset of the personal story. There, it didn’t break the game.

I’m not saying it’s easy to implement, but this “race changes would break stories and everything about them” argument is getting ridiculous. It’s a non-issue, as far as things go.

^ yeah, reset the story and let players find a way to turn it into a farming mechanic. great idea. it would also let players switch orders, which is not intended, as well as a bunch of other issues regarding soulbound items.

SIMPLE FIX. You can only race change when you have completed the entire storyline and you can NOT redo the story. There is no way to manipulate this, you experience the entire story before any major account changes like this. SIMPLE. At the same time, this allows Arena net to make money (which is ultimately the goal behind any company).

Well, you’ve apparently not viewed my other posts regarding this. Go ahead and look through my profile for them. Suffice it to say, though, that all of it is, again, a non-issue.

How would this effect the story lines in expansions, though, if yours is based on one race and now you are another one since one would not simply carry on from a foundation based on the race you -now- are?

simpler fix: make an alt.

If you hate being a kitteny lettuce person, why would you create a kitteny lettuce person…?

i thought they looked alright at the start but progressing through the game i hated them more and more and being the idiot i was i didnt try norn out until i hit 80. i want norn guard, but i dont wanna reply an alt the same as my main..

Do this. Preview the TA armor sets for explorable. They look good for sylvari, and you cant see an inch of their lettuce layers

Hi,
