Guild Wars 2

If a new class were to be added down the road, and lets say, no new races were added, what race would you choose to play the new class with?

For me, after my experience with the races so far, Asura is my last choice, and male Norn sits at top next to Human as my main choice. leaning a bit towards Norn.

Whats yours?

Well my go to races are usually Norn, Charr, followed by Human.

If we get some Shadow Knight Class as the Rytlock spoiler photos indicate then it might be a Charr then since I imagine Rytlocks Shadow Knight armor wouldn’t clip.

If we get this Reaper class, I will most likely go Norn—→Human—→Charr——>Sylvari—→
Asura

??? as the Rytlock spoilers indicate? Looks like a Ritualist blindfold to me… the shadow knight thing is so cliche and played out I highly doubt this is the case.

Probably Sylvari. They are my favorite race, hands down.

Light armor. They specialized in calling up spirits that attacked, protected by taking your damage, or healed, or they could use or give allies weapons. In Guild Wars 1 you could have a main profession and a secondary. So, the main could be a heavy armor profession with a light armor secondary. The armor you wear depends on your primary profession.

Would that mean Rytlock would come back controlling Ascolon ghosts?

It’s not just Rytlock though. The fact that Trahearne and Marjory both use a greatsword now while they are necromancers is also used as ‘evidence’.

Personally I hope this speculation turns out to be wrong. I hope that instead it’s just a headpiece and an armor set or at most something like subclasses.

Sylvari, Human, Charr. one of those three. I have 2 norn and I dont play either one I just dont like their animations or stance. I like the voice acting the most but thats it. Asura just dont click with me, I like other peoples asuras but not mine.

Asura of course. You can never have enough asura!

Tengu. period………………..

I’d like to play Yoda

I already have:
Norn (male and female)
Asura (male and felame)
Sylvari (male and female)
Human (female)
Charr (male)

Since the Charr male and female armor models are the same, I would make a male human.

Unsure.
Depends of what kind of class it will be.

If it is, as suspected, a soldier class, I might go with Charr though, since I love the cultural.
Otherwise it would be a Human, for the cultural.

Not sure about the gender though, since so far I am balanced with 4 male and 4 female…

Since most of my characters see duty in offline RPG as well… human. I only keep a Sylvari and an Asura around because they are cute and cannot stand Norn or Charr.

If Tengu comes around I will play what I need to to unlock their personal story achieves and then delete.

Probably human because then my armor would have the least chance of clipping

Charr.

Charr are the Master race.
And then you make a female human so you actually can find armor for said profession.

Charr.

human ! or if any new race is coming well a human look race XD

Probably Norn. I originally planned on having two Norn characters, but ended up taking the elemenatlist slot with a third charr because I wanted to run through all of their personal story options.

In Guild Wars 1 you could have a main profession and a secondary. So, the main could be a heavy armor profession with a light armor secondary. The armor you wear depends on your primary profession.

Oh how I loved Guild Wars so much…

Hmmmm, honestly, it would depend on the armor class.

If heavy armor I already have a Norn, Human and Charr heavy, so I would go with Asura or Sylvari.

If medium, I have a Human, Asura, Charr, Sylvari, and Norn medium class, so it would depend on what exactly the class was for semi-RP purposes.

Light I have Human, Asura, Sylvari and Norn so it’d most likely be a Charr.

I prefer some races to others but I also want to eventually unlock all the cultural armor sooo, yeah that kind of locks me in.

Norn is the only race I don’t have one of, so I’d probably make a Norn. Though, if it’s not a heavy profession, it would feel weird.

You don’t need to wear the cultural armor to unlock it, just right click and pick “add to wardrobe” or something like that.
I only have a human necro but I unlocked the light, medium and heavy T1 human sets.

While this is true, if you actually want the achievement you do have to put it on. I unlocked all of the skins on a character but it only gave me credit for the ones that I could actually wear towards “the emperor” achievement.

Oh I see, then yea, go for it

I would personally consider the class first and choose a race fitting xD
I have alot of humans though so it is probably going to be something else at least.

Otherwise, I believe there is a much higher chance that a new race would come rather than a new class.

That can’t be the case. I have credit for some of the Charr achievements, and my (only) Charr can’t even wear the T1 cultural yet, because he’s too low level.

It happened with me. I blew a bunch of money while I was on my guardian. Bought all of the T1 and T2 human cultural armor before I noticed (thankfully not T3). Got credit for the “1,000 skins” achievement but only got credit for the cultural specific achievement that my Guardian could personally equip. Tried again with a different race (only a couple skins that time), and same thing happened. Maybe it counts if your character will have the ability to eventually equip the armor, but not if its a different armor class altogether. That being said I guess you could just make new characters, buy the skins and delete the character to get them all relatively quickly and easily. But that just seems like a waste to me.

hhmmm, that’s a tough question. I’ve got humans done (one of each armor weight) and the norns closely look like humans so I can rule them out too.
It really depends on the weight class.
Since the new class would more than likely be heavy, then I would go with Sylvari since I already have two in the other weight classes.
If the new class is light, then I’d select Charr
If the new class is medium then I’d select Asura.

Firstly let’s see the new profession happen. So far it’s lotsa theories, little proof to back that suspicion up.

I have that achievement and all i needed to do was buy them, they are soulbound on acquire.

Genreally, I prefer Sylvari. But it really depends on the class.

Oldirtbeard.9834:

…

…

My mind has latched onto that idea and it’s trying to run away with it. Sadly, I have to stop it because I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Exactly. OP’s posts tend to blur the line between reality and not reality at times. Can’t have people expecting something that may not happen, or may not happen in this time frame or whatever.

I would say it’s more a blindfold like the one Kormir was wearing in Nightfall and she was a Paragon. Also, I don’t think a blindfold heralds a signal of a new class at all. It just let’s the players know that Rytlock is blind.

How long ago did you complete it? I tried this pretty recently and it did not give me credit for the culturals that my character could not physically wear. I will try again tonight and see what happens.

Didn’t say it will, but if we do get a new classes in the future, it would be a decision people will have to make. I don’t like race changing once I make a character. I rarely customize characters post creation in any MMO besides gear and gameplay mechanics.

So it made me think about what I would play for a new class in GW2.
I have two charrs already. Tired of them. Yeah they have their moments, but Norn grew on me. I didn’t like them at first in beta. My first character in beta was a Norn Guardian. It turned me off so much I went human for my guardian.

I understand where you are coming from, but some forumites take a post or thread title and then start the whole expecting thing. Then when it doesn’t happen (or won’t yet… we never know) there is a poopstorm.

Having said all that I don’t know which race I would try, so far I am not very fond of Charr and Norn, they seem big and bulky and plodding to me. Sylvari ehh ok, Asura thief was fun and seemed to feel the opposite of the Charr and Norn, almost speedy really. My main and main alts are all human, with a nod to GW1 for that.

As far as a new race I have no idea what race that could be brought in, I like the idea of playable Margonites or Mursaat but they don’t seem likely.

Azren i guess its the only races i not played. Mind you my char is only level 47 but i see no need to have a repeat races.

Trevor Bennett.3691:

Well, since I’ve already done 3 Asura master-race. I’d probably have to go with a Human. I haven’t done join the circus yet, and I hear it’s pretty good, so I’d have to check that out.

I can’t stand Asura. I can’t see my armor…
Sorry fashion is important to me. But I am kind of struggling between Norn and Human.

I hate the run speed animation of Norn, but I like the Buffness of them. But I also feel human feel more smooth with their run animation. But they not as buff and cool looking in combat.

… should make it 4 Asura, I mean you already know it’s the master-race

I’m hoping that if a new class is added, a new race will be added at the same time. That way I can play a <new race> version of <new class>.

Tauren…. Kappa

Personally before I make any character I see what I can do style wise in the wardrobe.

I haven’t found any male human looks for any armor type that I really like. Some decent ones but nothing I really like. That’s why it’s one of two race/gender combos I don’t have, just Human Male and Charr Female, everything else is covered, with multiple Asura’s of course

Asura…all the way….

Probably, lol.

IF a new class were to happen I would make it a Norn, Asura, or Charr

If a new heavy class is added, I’ve got to go Human Male.

There’s some great heavy human cultural armor I’m missing out on right now.
