Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the feedback and welcome everyone. I’ve been playing a Charr Guardian and it’s a pretty cool race. I like it mainly because it’s so different from the other races (mainly humans, Sylvari, and Norn). I like Asura too, also because they feel different. The 3 humanoid races are just too boring for me. They all run the same, and feel the same. If ANet truly wanted to step away from the stereotypical fantasy world, they wouldn’t have included humans, possibly Norn either. Norn and Humans are a couple of the most common racial archetypes found in any MMO. The Sylvari are an excuse to add Elves. They are elves basically, although a bit more embellished.

The game is really awesome though. It’s just not that 100% feeling when you can’t stop playing a game. I feel Anet needs to add more variety in races to appeal to more players (less 6 foot tall humanoid races please). I’d like one of them to be Dwarves, but that’s just me.

Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I just got the game last night.

Dwarves are by far my favorite fantasy race in any game. I was disappointed when I saw you couldn’t pick them in Guild Wars 2, although it’s an awesome game nonetheless. Apparently they exist in the lore, and they turned themselves to stone to defend the earth from some creatures or something. Since the earth isn’t being threatened by them, it seems the dwarves are doing their job. Maybe they could be done fighting, and rejoin above ground. Or the next expansion could have some questlines that take place helping the dwarves with whatever they are doing. It would be great if you could add dwarves in the first expansion.

The only gripe I have with GW 2 is the races. There are 3 humanoid races that are basically the same, only they are a little bit different in size. We see humans all the time, and it gets a little boring, no offense haha.

I’d like to see Dwarves. I’m new to Guild Wars. Just got it last night and Dwarves are my favorite race in fantasy games. I’m not sure what other races are in the lore though. I read a little bit and it seems like the Dwarves turned to stone to fight some guys in the earth. Possibly they could come back after they are done fighting.
