Guild Wars 2

Hello anet! Heres my dream wish:

Why not make item which will change one’s race BUT reset character creation choises, personal story and character, but keeping only items and stats?

You will simply have to re-do story if u wish.

I strongly support this idea and I wouldn’t mind to pay with real money if I have to, just to change my hero’s race.

I am terribly sorry and I deeply appologise for oppening this thread here, since I wasn’t able to post it in “Suggestions” sections. I am kinda confused where to post, so please don’t mind me.

Hey!, no need to appologising.

The mods will simply move your post to a more appropiate sub forum. I think that during their hard and good work of mostly solving small fires, they are happy to just be helpfull :P

There has been simular suggestions over the past. The major issue is in the rewards (doing personal story rewards, karma, consumables, unique weapon and armor sets, etc). So it is hard to remove them all. For the rest I don’t have any objections against this.

I’ve always wanted a class change item.

To be honest, I have the same want for a race change.

I doubt this is going to happen, even though i’d really like a race change myself. I think ANet even said multiple times that this won’t happen

What about class change?

So long as Anet/NCSoft sell character slots, we won’t see a race change or class change item.

I think more people would use a race change kit on a character they have spent hundreds/thousands of hours on, rather than making a completely new one and start all over.

I have no doubt players would prefer a race change kit. Anet and NCSoft would prefer to have their money and the simplest solution from dev perspective is the character slot.

Time to line up the shot glasses and get drunk on yet another duplicate race change thread.

Race change? — NO .. no no no …

You don’t need it (according to me), so NO, you can’t have it …
I can’t afford to buy gems, and I’m dripping with envy of those that can, so NO, you can’t have it …
I know it has absolutely nothing to do with me and is 100% none of my business, but still, NO …
Although I am not a video game developer, I will pretend that I know for a fact that the coding and work required to implement it is too difficult, and say NO …
I don’t like the idea, and what I like and don’t like should be enough, so, NO, you can’t have it …
Personally I would never change my own race, so because of that, you should not have the option to, so NO …
I will ask you why you went 80 levels before figuring out that your current race was not for you; although I really don’t care what your reasons are, and just want to ridicule your reasons and say NO you should not have that option …
Also, there are other threads about this, so that should be enough for me to say NO …
While I’m as lazy as the day is long myself, I will call you lazy and claim that you need to “work” for it, so NO …
Although saying, “don’t be lazy, just roll another toon and level the race you would prefer”, is presumptuous of me and rude, I’ll say it anyway, and follow up with yet another, NO you can’t have that option …

And last but not least, even though I don’t want to change my own race, so this thread should be of no importance to me whatsoever, I will pop into your thread anyway, just so I can say, NO …

;-)

I wonder if people would also happily pay then maybe for 6 transmutation splitters if they wear T3 skins on their ascended armor, and aren’t able to wear their armor after the race change.

Or if they will go flame ANet that they don’t give them that services for free and also refund the money for their T3 and whatever else could happen.

+1 for race, class and faction change in the gem store. Yes they’ve said it won’t happen, but if demand is great enough…or even just loud enough cough vertical progression* cough* you never know.

Also if anyone mentions ‘immersion breaking’ as a reason not to have it I’ll slap them with a pink quaggan backpack while dressed in zodiac armor to the sounds of the pact celebrating zhaitan’s defeat in a parallel dimension as LA burns.

I think it would be a great option, however stuff like cultural gear is another bumb in the road. But besides that, I would love to have the option to change. I would probably change once every month or so, lol. To spice things up.

If you really want to change your race you can CREATE A NEW CHARACTER.

Arenanet has stated that they do not have the systems in place to facilitate a race change due to how the personal story works.

If you want a character of a different race, make a new character.

i would love that. My necro is human and kind of boring, and i turn green with envy when I hear the hilarious Asuran necro lines. I don’t want to reroll the necro because of all of the progression and gear it has, but i can’t justify buying a new slot and grinding a new toon of a class that I already have
