Hey, this is my first time posting on the forums, so I apologise if my post isn’t exactly up to par.

The basis behind my idea is that I really enjoy this image of Humans being a severely hampered and beaten back race, and I’d like to see them pushing back properly.
Right now, the Seraph seem to be severely outnumbered and outmatched in the fields of Kryta, and I’d really like to see content regarding the retaking of Kryta’s lands from the Centaurs.
This could tie in with more personal story quests, and perhaps going as far as to having another instance of Krytan lands (or just adapting the current ones to the purpose)

The main goals of this idea are as follows:

1 Retaking Kryta from Centaurs
Since Zhaitan has been dealt with, before moving onto Jormag or Kralky, I thought it would be nice to deal with some of the smaller, albeit large for humanity, problems that Tyria has that hampers them from putting their full strength into fighting the Elder Dragons.

2 Introducing horses/mounts
They won’t necessarily be much faster than normal players, keeping to ArenaNet’s goals of aesthetic focus, which have been hinted at subtly in some areas, and would level the playing field against centaurs.

3 Introducing a new Class
Since it’s been so long since release, it would seem fitting to launch a new class such as the Dragoon mentioned in another thread, which would tie in to the mounted combat addition.

4 Introduce new weapon types
Such as polearms, halberds and lances. I haven’t gone as far as to speculating how the aforementioned weapons would function and for which classes, but still these additions wouldn’t be that difficult to add into the game, and would add more variety – weapon choices are an extremely important and versatile aspect of player identity.

This could all be carried forward through a World Event like Lost Shores, themed around retaking Krytan lands for humanity, or perhaps even making peace with the Centaurs and absorbing them into the pact. Though this would involve replacing the Heart quests that involve the war against the Centaurs with suitable ones – though hopefully not making Krytan zones into a clone of Ebonhawke.

I know I haven’t really put that much detail into all this, but It’s a thought I had whilst browsing the forums and figured it was worth getting out there and wanted to know what everyone else thought.

Any feedback or criticism is encouraged and appreciated, thanks.
