Guild Wars 2

Has Anet considered making Largos a playable race? I think they would be pretty cool. Though I understand a lot of effort will be needed to create a new playable race, but I sincerely hope Anet would seriously considered this and even make it happen.

those dudes are mostly water creatures and are meant to be mysterios… to make em a playable race would sorta take that mystery away from them big time. Also largos avoid land dwellers on purpose…they dont even trade or stuff like the tengu do. Id say…meh.. nah.. lets keep em mysterios. (though i wouldnt complain at all if they would add some armor in their style..cause that stuff is kitten)

Would def make a largo if they made them playable. Also still hoping for tengu one day.

Imagine all the clipping …

Hi everybody,

i would definitively like the Largos as a playable race. Since they ARE indeed a mysterious people, it would be crucial to create a good story or open with a “big bang” moment to bring them into play/force them to interact with Tyria´s other races.
I am convinced that they have a huge potential and that a lot of people don´t like them for gameplay reasons (fear of clipping, limited customization, underwater combat etc.)… but story- and lorewise they would be great!
Including them into the game would add new topics, environments, plotlines and of course “bubbles”. So thumbs up that we will get them some day!! ;-)

Best regards to all players and ArenaNet

They are special because they are mysterious.

Lose the mystery – lose the value.

All you would be left with is a human with wings. Their lore isn’t THAT interesting.

They look pretty kitten, although we haven’t seen that much of them, only in the storyline and you can find enemies of them somewhere in the water in the Orr.
Anything new added race would be good.

If there’ll be a new race, it’ll be tengu, not one of these races with only one look

Hopefully not. I can understand the some people might like them, seeing as they are a pile on cliches badly glued together, but for me it’s a definite turnoff.

You want to know why they don’t?

Two words: Largos Engineer.

Wings + Hobosack? No.

And to a lesser degree, every single back item and back-mounted weapon ever. If you thought people complained about Charr tail clipping…

I don’t know how they would balance the fact that they can be permanently invisible with the other races in WvW and PvP. Doesn’t seem likely that they would use this race for PCs.

I’m rooting for Largos as a playable race more than for any other race. Thief Largos. Racial stealth. drifts off dreamily

Largos would be an option when Anet shifts their focus to underwater-gameplay (which doesn’t seem to be happening soon). When Anet improves their underwater-gameplay then there is the possibility of introducing Largos as GW2’s first race with a home-city underwater.

I’m thinking that if we ever get to “Bubbles” maybe that would open up the their home zone to us. Hopefully by then underwater combat will have a bit more tlc added.
