Guild Wars 2

I’m an asura, but because I dont like PVP (you might hate me if you do)…

NERF ASURA SIZE, MAKE US BIGGER.

Why?

Because small size asura are ‘harder’ to read.

That make’s a racial advantage, something that should not happen on this game.

Please, make us look bigger =)

agreed, they disabled racial skills in pvp because they didn’t want race to be a factor in pvp.
how does that work when these poorly choreographed midgets can hide inside/behind any AI clone/pet/minion they like and cast away without you even being able to see them.

i heard newbies have hard time targetting or killing asuras.

I don’t have an issue with this, but why don’t they force the race to become like human in SPVP as soon as you are in the mists or in a map?

Or if an Asura joins the map, make everyone else same height

It’s also a fact that it’s harder to click-select an Asura necro MM hiding behind its golem. tab-tab-tab wastes precious seconds. We should have a checkbox option to ‘make ennemy team human’.

Why not just make the option for enemy team to be max sized Norn?

Honestly though… I have zero issues fighting Asuras.

Zero.

I play a Human.

There is a tab target that skips minions btw, you guys should try it out :/

I never understand why people have problems fighting asuras. I use human characters and it isn’t hard. Do you use a crazy high screen resolution or something?

If you don’t need to read animations and encounter only stupid players who don’t know about bodyblocks, then yes, asura size is not problem for you.

I use 1024×768 on a 1920×1080 monitor and reading their animations is still hard as hell compared to other races.

Your poor eyes. I use 2400×1500 on a 1920×1200 screen.

I play on a pretty high level. My team MMR is pretty high though my rank has probably decayed due to inactivity. I’ve been doing more solo arena lately.

Nevertheless, playing against high ranked players who play Asura and I still haven’t had any issues at all.

super adventure box normalized player size, it should really be ported over to pvp

a simple example for those who don’t understand.
lets say a norn casts 100b (yes we rarely see 100b but i’m just using it for an example)
he’s a giant jumping around with an obvious animation, you move away.

now lets say we have an asura standing inside a bunch of minions casting 100b.
you won’t even see him, the only way you’ll know he’s using 100b is that your health will be dropping.

this is a huge advantage, and is stronger than any racial skill (which they disabled to stop race from being a factor in pvp)

Asura should be max size by default in PvP IMO… the animations are indeed harder to read on smaller characters.

If this giant warrior was a mesmer, he could drop clones and block everyone’s field of vision, thus making himself and his allies more difficult to target. Asuran mesmers don’t do that.

I agree with Vegito. I have zero issues fighting asuras, and actually, it’s usually harder when it’s norn mesmers..

thats true, but as i said, asuras can hide behind everything.
they don’t need a giant norn mesmer.

also norn mesmer is the only example of a race other than asura having an advantage, for every other build for every other class it is better to go asura.
even bunkers benefit from the hard to read animations.

yeah racial size is barely relevant and can be just as much an issue with large characters. Also would be massively dull if every race was the same . People really scraping the barrel for things to whine about and blame for losing.
