Guild Wars 2

V.simple just like how you can change your name, style etc etc.
Why not a race change consumable from the gem store?

Thanks.

Not “V.simple”

Your race has multiple implications that directly effect the game in very complex ways, mainly your character biography and your personal story.

The only way ArenaNet could add a race changer, is if it reset your personal story to the first chapter, and also reset your character to level 0, and undid their entire existence, to redo the character biography.

I think its a lot faster and convenient myself to just make a new character.

Probably won’t ever happen.

There is not only the problem with the race based personal story tied to the hero panel but what city has your home instance and any changes made to it due to the personal story. They have already said they can’t reverse story line choices that people wrongly chose so this indicates these things are “hard baked” into the hero panel. It’s possible that character race choice is also “hard baked”into the hero panel and irreversible, since it’s tied to the story.
