Guild Wars 2

Hi so I’ve been playing GW2 since shortly after its release. While I realize people are frustrated with lack of content Ive been enjoying the events as they happen and working on my characters, leveling, gearing up and customizing. But I would love love love to be able to play a Quaggan alternately a Skrit. I think adding a new race or two to play would be great to extend the game life and bring some extra interest. I myself would even be willing to purchase an extra character slot and maybe something like a race unlockable in the gem store. Having it be unlockable through the gem store would help to pay for dev time/expenses, and while players may complain about having to purchase the unlock for someone like me it would encourage me to play the game to earn gold to trade for gems to get the unlock. I hope you will consider this as an option and I hope to see a playable Quaggan in the future. Quaggan lovers unite! Hehe.

Because porting all the current armor sets onto new meshes, creating new cultural armors, starting area’s, zones, hearts, instances, storyline, options, personal homes, racial cities, and NPC’s, and dialogue are easy tasks.

Did I mention things tend to clip if done hurriedly?

While having new races would be fun, refreshing, interesting, and all that, they have to do it in a way that makes sense lore-wise. Simply adding new races/classes simply to entice players is a sign of desperation, imo.

The five races we have now are there because they are arguably the five most dominant races in Tyria. It wouldn’t make sense for Quaggans to be a playable race when they aren’t really the aggressive type. Would they be fun to see running around? Yes, and that is why we have the costume brawl tonics. Skritts are even less likely, as stated many times in the story they are not the brightest of creatures, requiring to group up to “share” intellect.

The closest race Anet could release as playable is probably the Tengu (having united their squabbling tribes and formed a unified if a bit xenophobic nation), and I believe they’ve stated that they’re opting to focus more on the five races they already have rather than introducing a new one.

Just a tip, your topic title alone would make any employee immediately skip it, beyond a moderator, simply to make sure it’s not containing things it should not. They don’t respond to attention-seeking topics, or everyone would simply start doing it. I’d recommend actually making it a bit more relevant to what you’re suggesting, e.g., [Suggestion] More playable races, expect this to have been mentioned a million times over by now though, it has. Maybe you could even get a response in that case. Probably not, but at least it’d be better than a slimmer to no chance.

I’d be a quaggan any day.

A centaur character would be fun! Seems like they should be able to use pretty much any of the existing coats and gloves and shoulder thingees, and quite a few of the existing helms. Maybe rig up some ‘blanket’ style leggings/accoutrements, and then go all out on fancy horseshoes.

Awesome Horseshoes of Awesomeness would be… well…
