Guild Wars 2

...but they are cute! Esport needs more cuteness.

only from ToL ?

Why not from every PvP environment ?

Ban all other races, they`re too big.
I know many of you want perfect TOL where everyone is human female with flower in their blue/pink hair but its not gonna happen. Buy glasses/bigger monitor.

Asuras have many animation issues, we all know it and it’s been confirmed. Don’t pretend there is no problem just cuz you don’t want to have your cute asura banned.

Save asura only at PvE
/15 dead asuras

Yes 200 animation range on drakes breath will be gamechanger in TOL…
TCG will still win with human thief and guard, its stupid to force people play something else than their mains and pretend that it changes something, i can guarantee you that GW2 is not played on such level of competitiveness where player race decides outcome of match.

im still getting a lot of troubles against asura warriors and evicerate, Is almost imposible to notice the animation and dodge.

I second this.

blu tried, Anet did not allow it…

Olrun’s killshot warrior worked almost entirely because it’s super hard to notice the animation on asura. I assure you it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well on another race.

Not meaning to attack him, but it was a pretty big factor. You can legit hide in other people’s animations.

Would it decide the outcome of a match? Probably not. After all, most teams use Asuras, so it’s not like it would be giving a “disadvantage” to any one team. It would make it more fun to watch, though, especially small sidepoint fights.

I don’t think many PvPers play Asura except for the animation advantage, anyway. They’re about as cute as sewer rats.

Meh, leeto used to look pretty good before he changed hair style. Now he’s worse than sewer rat.

This please, we all know arenanet can’t fix it’s asura problems, and we all know by banning asuras from high end pvp themselves till they fix these major gamebreaking issues they’re admitting that they exist.

So just allow BLU or MIST to ban them and claim no knowledge, no one will know, it can be our little secret.

That’d be admission to failure.

A limit for theese invisible and unenjoyable to watch characters per team would be a good start. Is say 2 max

IIRC, in Gears of War 3 tournaments you were limited to one female character per team because they had a smaller hitbox, smaller animations I’d consider a pretty similar advantage so I’d think a restriction or ban on asura would be reasonable.

One more vote for this. It is irritating.

Remove all non humans…from the entire game.

Sube Dai.8496:

Why make a statement like this its common knowledge that asura animations are not quite right and running an asura gives a player a slight advantage. Also Tol is a serious tournament for gw2 banning asura from tol is a good idea. It also make things better for spectators.

You never know, he might be being serious and is just highly racist against plants, cats, midget aliens and giants.

I vote to ban anyone who rage quit from ToL.

Rats should not be in any comp. pvp – not just in tournaments, but also in soloq and teamq.

I’m all for this, buggy animations and tiny models make this slightly unbalanced, even a tiny imbalance can still swing favor if exploited correctly.

Brandon Gee in the “Asuras Animations and skill radius advantage”

Thanks for reporting this! This looks like a scaling issue where the effect is scaling the character’s size but the skill itself is not scaling. A fix for this will require some design work so I can’t say a whole lot in regards to when it could be fixed.

Come on Anet, ban asuras from TOL2

I won’t deny it. I entered the 2v2 tournament yesterday planning to run killshot warrior. Then I remembered I couldn’t use my asura and went hambow. Even with hambow, asura is an enormous advantage. I used to get absolutely destroyed by Caed in team queues. Then someone told me he targeted me because my norn animations made me an easy to target. I switched to asura, and Caed is still a tough opponent, but he’s not untouchable like he was to me on my norn. The asura advantage is real. I feel it with every build I play.

Honestly, all ANET has to do to get around the whole “we can’t show that we kittened up” thing is to say that each team should have 1 of each race. Means limited to 1 asura, which could mean there is actually a tactical element to which class plays the asura.

But in all seriously they should just ban the kitten things and burn them with fire.

The day the asuran race is removed from anet tournaments is the day skyhammer is removed from soloq, so I would be inclined to say: Never.

The sad thing is that I see at least 5 top 100 PvPers in this thread and most of them agree on this subject, ANet hasn’t made any public plans to do something about it. Olrun’s story about Caed is particularly troubling.

It really is an obscene advantage when in a team fight and in certain 1v1’s. A lot of the time it all depends on the graphics clutter from skills that fill your entire screen with every color in the rainbow followed by something you normally would dodge but can’t because you’re busy trying to not have a seizure. Sometimes team fights are just ridiculous when you have tons of AoE going and you can’t see anything. If you had the ability to tone down these animations, I feel like that would be a step in the right direction to making asura skills more visible.

Ultimately, something needs to be done to see the tells of asura skills so skilled play/counterplay can have a chance. Whether that option is to set enemy models to human, for example, or scaling enemy size to a standard size you set. If you refuse to do that, at least let us adjust skill animation severity so we have less clutter obstructing things we would like to see.

I second this.

I wouldn’t want to lock anyone from playing their favorite race (if that is the reason they picked Asura in the first place).. Not to mention grief that would surely come in solo/teamq after players learned that Asuras were straight up banned from a legit tournament.

So how about an option in custom arenas to enlarge the Asuran model to Sylvari size whenever a match starts?

EDIT: just realized that Chaotic basically said the same thing…

Make an option to view all enemies as humans – that is it, problem solved.

Does pure PvPers bring money to ANet – NO
Does PvErs that sometimes enter to sPvP with their “cute as a sewer rat” asura bring money – YES

So, you understand

So what does this have to do with TOL2?? most of them are PVP players, not PVE.. so who cares if we say we DO ban asura from TOL2.. do you?

What an ignorant thing to say.

And im super christian so whenever theres one of those million human females in skimpy outfits im forced to close my eyes and pray for my soul…. you even know how hard it is to dodge eviscerate then?
So probobly ban all beside norn male.

As you saw – devs cares. Or forgot who don’t let Blue ban asuras? Reasons? Already wrote. ToL is marketing move to show “We care about PvP, too. But… you knows…”

Trolling.

i do really like the idea of showing everything as human
shoutcasters could still watch the “real thing”
and players who have problems with asura animations hiding behind big fat bunker guard can just toggle “show everything as human(pvp)” on

it shouldnt be too hard to implement
and everyone would be happy

Anet could implement of an option check-box “All character models are X” (X probably human).
Or a Drop-down box to select a race.
Like they did with Team colors

Edit: already suggested ^.^ I should L2R

They’re just too small Rar

What he said was just as ridiculous as this thread though. Making Asura animations more visible or making Asura bigger would be a reasonable request.
But asking that everyone who uses an Asura character to be banned from TOL is outright deplorable.

I think the best thing to do for PvP would be to limit it to only 1 race and don’t allow the person to change height of the character. That way no one will have an advantage/disadvantage.

Another fun story with asuran killshot: My friend Nhymx was streaming and had us all running without armor. I still managed to kill Laaw in a 1v1 because I hid my killshot animation inside his spirit clutter. Cue the salt.

LOL
Serious pvp in this game?
This is all casual pvp. The nerfs, and balance failures and the fact they barely throw pvp a bone, is enough to know they don’t give a flying squirrel about this game mode (or wvw).
Basically these random, borked pvp tournaments is all softnet will give to pvp’ers.

I have greater expectations of finding a decoder ring out of a cereal box, than seeing anything actually interesting done with pvp.

People need to get better and have a higher sense of animations in the game. Dodging an eviscerate on an asuran is NOT hard, you just require a bit of twitch reaction & knowing what to look for.

I’d rather have everyone play asurans and have the skill cap on the game become higher, and feel faster paced.

zuikpls y u do dis you leave me alone in gw2 :<
