Guild Wars 2

Do we have any idea what the max Human male character height is in relevance? 6’5+ish? Just wondering since I came back and I’m making a new character and I want him tall, but not freakishly so that it’d be considered 7’ lol.

(I remember some games in the past doing some form of measurements in the slider so you weren’t making a weird looking giant) Ended up going 2 notches down from max and was hoping for 6’2-6’3ish in theory but my guess is good as anyones.

I hope this helps you.

I always thought Sylvari has smaller min/max heights compared to humans.

Either that or all the Sylvari I see have their height set relatively low.

I don’t think this is accurate. I made my Norn the smallest she could be and she’s still a bit taller than all the humans no matter how tall they are.

So a max height human is only about 6’3? It’s hard to tell with the weird NPC variance or having no idea what the height truly is. Just didn’t want to run it on max and be like 7" equivalent xD

The one I’ve seen shows relative heights.

Did anyone figure out what the max height be in relevance? Not a big deal but just wondering the scale since they give you no information on what the min or max height is. :P

I would like to know this for human female, as well.

I was going for about 5’9", so went for about 3/4 of the way up the scale, but I have no idea if that is right, or not.

The main issue is how you scale around others. The whole body scales up and down, so putting a shortest human man next to a tallest human man is like putting a 15 mm miniature next to a 25 mm one. I made Donari just a hair under max height, but I also picked a leaner build and shrunk and narrowed his head (yeah yeah, you RPers who know him, his head is not bigger than Tyria, just the ego inside it) so he’s not monstrously outscaled.

Conversely if you make someone smaller, you should scale up their head a little. It really helps avoid the “we’re from two different resolutions” appearance.

I’d like to know the actual feet/inches heights too (I’m too old to grok metric, sorry). But what if Tyrian humans run taller than Terrans? Then seven feet wouldn’t be “freakish” Though I suppose you also meant that in relative terms.

The heads are all kind of small, anyway.

Max size head is more like average head size IRL.

That scale chart is completely false to the lore though.

Norn average nine feet. Asura, IIRC, average four feet tall.

As for size. IIRC, my max height norn female is the same height ingame as a Kodan, who is said to be 10 feet tall normally.

Back to this, has anyone figured out where 6’2-6’3 would be on the Human Male slider? Max? Or do humans go up to 6’7? There really is no indication and I know it’s minor but it sorta bugs me in an OCD way of scale xD

I would say 2 ticks from the very tallest would be about what you’re looking for.

My human female Elonian is max height. I need more small males to look down at (:

Yeah, I did my guesstimate with 2 ticks down hoping that it’d be in the relevance of anywhere from 6’1-6’3 in estimate. Just didn’t want to be overly huge in the game sense like 7’+ or unrealistic proportion when you get those games where you’re a 8 foot human.
