Guild Wars 2

i really hate people using asura as thier race in PVP . i cant see the casting animations from the super tiny asura before they hit me. if WVW has standard model, i think we need it too in PVP

This is a great idea I can’t understand why ArenaNet haven’t implemented this yet

i won’t use it even if it worked…never had a single problem with asuras (Actually playing axe/sword on human btw), but if you’re a new one then yeah…that may help..but keep in mind that you usually dodge because you know something is coming not always because you actually see it (Mesmer shatter from stealth for example…or d/p thief backstab combo) so in 90% cases if you can’t dodge something from an asura you won’t dodge that even if it was on human…but at least ppl are gonna have less excuses for eating eviscerates 24/7…(If someone with war, asura or not doesn’t make any difference, is on longbow and he swaps to axe, and you SHOULD know that he has intell sigil and he must eviscerate on the next 3 skills….what do you think he’s gonna do after swapping to axe? million dollars question…) that’s how you dodge eviscerates from any race regardless animations, and this goes with other professions too, if you know what are you fighting against and you track cooldowns you already know what he’s gonna do before he actually does…so long story short…you can get standard models but if you wanna win you’ll need to l2p anyway

I disagree that it’s a skill issue, having optional standardized models would help even the best players, because you won’t always be able to predict an enemy’s actions. In the cases where you have to recognize which skill is being cast, you only need to learn and remember one animation instead of five.

not sure if stupid or just trolls.

we DO have standard enemy models in pvp, and ONLY in pvp.

well, maybe i am stupid too.... i don’t get it

We already have this: in custom arenas and team queue. It is beyond me why they didn’t implement it in rest of the modes…
