Guild Wars 2

I think many people in the game really would like to be able to race change, It is a perfect thing for the devs to earn extra money aswell, Many here will probably complain about the personal story and stuff like that and I know a good solution.

First of all I don’t think many people care about their personal story and for those who do care they should add:
When you have changed your race your personal story will get reset and for those who really care about the personal story you can re do it with your new race but you will not gain rewards from it. It will also be a warning before confirming the race change who says that, So the people are really informed that their personal story will get reset.

I think this is a great thing for the game and the devs, A win – win. If they manage to add it I am really thankful and so are probably many others aswell.

They can’t really reset the personal story so far. duo to technical issues that is why we have no replay option on it so far. though I heard they where working on it (same as with LS season 1)

Well, Then I am hoping for that they’ll be able to fix it cause it would be really awesome

I can only imagine to coding nightmare and the potential for serious bugs which could occur.

I’d be surpised if we ever saw such a thing

They will not be able to fix that unless they decide to make a new engine, which would be very hard and certainly wouldnt be cheap.

Well, I guess they it wont make it avaible then, That’s really sad…

I don’t expect it to ever be possible (honestly we’ve discussed it to death, the search feature on the forums is totally broken though so you’d never know it)
It simply effects to many code points, every time they’ve tried its been a train wreck judging by the few comments about it from the devs.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted this (I wonder how many times I’ve copied and pasted this “perfect answer”). Here you go OP. Don’t get your hopes up.

ANet so far has said no.

Race changes:
1) I am afraid that the team does contemplate different possibilities and new features for the future but this one is not among those. Source
2) There are a lot of far-reaching consequences of allowing one character to play through every race’s personal story or equip any cultural armor/weapons. For now, we feel that it would take away from the experience of Guild Wars 2 for the majority of players. Source
3) Thanks for asking. To change the race in the Gem store will not be an option in Guild Wars 2. Source

Wasn’t there a similar thread to this yesterday?

Guys, all we need is RACE CHANGE TONIC

They already can do this, because in fractals we become charr or azura or whatever. All that’d need to happen is for it to be like watchwork knight tonic => so you can transform yet still fight; and let it keep your armor/outfit; slap 1000 gems on each (azura change tonic, charr change tonic) or make it gettable in game using some crazy collection => woot

It will never happen. For more reasons that I am willing to type.
