Guild Wars 2

Title pretty much says it all. In short, in my humble opinion the new dances are just awful. I’d love to see the original Guild Wars dances revived and available. They were so lively and creative, please don’t let them die. Also would be a great nod to the first game. I’d even go so far as to pay gems per dance, or perhaps they could be sold in sets.

the new dances are indeed terrible, I’ve always hated having contemporary dances in fantasy games, the music style for the current dances doesn’t even exist in the world :/

Yeah,Asurans should do some kind of Leprechaun Dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-nuGadCi6Q .And some kind of Maori type dance would be sweet for either Charrs or Norns,other then that no idea,but i also dont really think the dance styles fit well.

Gah! I’d completely forgotten the Charr… Some of the original dances would be hilarious with them. If not maybe a bit buggy because of their unusual body configurations. The thought of one of them doing the old male ele dance almost made me roll, lol.

emikochan.8504: It was the same in GW1, Michael Jackson dances, triggin or whatever it called, cheerleading moves etc. no one complained that it is not cannon to game lore. I can sort of see where you are going, but dances are not that big part of it all, so it doesn’t really matter.

@Caedmon.6798: it’s funny because charr actually got a maori dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-lrE2JcO44

Sylvari also got an old traditional dance, look up bhangra.

I like all the dances though and I think it makes perfect sense to have them be racial. I would like the addition of more dances to each race though.

No, they weren’t in any way lore related. That was part of the fun of it I thought. Also, it was because they were real life dances from various sources that made them so cool in my opinion. Just seems a waste is all.
