Possibly a new profession is in the works?

Possibly a new profession is in the works?

One would assume so after a year and a half, but they have been pretty tight lipped about it. Look for more info in 2014 imo.

If anything, I see new traits and skills on the horizon, followed closely by the possibility of the Tengu becoming playable. Adding/modifying skills/traits has proven to not take heaps of time. Moreover, as I recall, the Tengu were scrapped as a playable race last minute, plus we already have in-game models and assets, so expanding on those seems natural.

While I think adding another profession would have a much greater impact on gameplay, I also think it would require a much larger development cycle, so I doubt it’ll happen soon. That being said, I’d love to be surprised with one.

I wouldn’t hold my breath, they’d rather give us more Scarlet stuff hahaha!

:(

If the tengu were to become playable then they would need a completely new model.

The current tengu have the same model as charr, so all of the animations are the same.
If they bring out a charr reskin and call it a new race then I will lose all faith in ArenaNet.

Same model does not mean same animations. Human, Sylvari and Norn all essentially have the same model (and thus same armor stretched to different portions) but they don’t have the same animations.
