Guild Wars 2

Yes – I grinded tomes just to boost mine to 80, which I did. Now I regret it and am leveling a Rev. Ventari/Glint have been really fun for healing!

If they added a shapeshifter, I’d without a doubt play again.

I totally agree with this thread! Much of the charr Tribal feeling is lost in GW2’s armour. I think ther can be much done here. Love the charr race!

That’s the point, isn’t it? The Charr you see in Guild Wars 2 are not the same Charr you saw as savage enemies in the original.

Like I said, the Tribal look was a result of the oppressive Flame Legion not allowing any progress (that at best having a well-made sword? Not an exaggeration) and only worshiping Titans as gods. When removed from such oppression, the other three High Legions (Blood, Ash, and Iron) went all industrial revolution and aside from a few oddities (praising the Searing), they will go to a lot of lengths to not be seen as the tribal-false-god-worshiping Flame Legion of GW1’s time.

I think you’re missing the point of the thread….

I get that you feel lore wise they shouldn’t look tribal. I am glad that you are happy with your gear! What people here are saying is they don’t enjoy their large furred animal wrapped from head to toe in armor with severe clipping, no tail holes, horns disappear, too stretched out etc. They would just like more options for their character to feel right to them.

The Charr and Humans decided on a peace treaty/alliance 1-5 years prior to GW2. Sure they worked together in past when needed, but were always bitter (Gwen/Pyre) Over the course of that time, Charr decided they need to look like the meat? I mean in GW2 there are still the ghosts and then separatists. I know styles change with time, but I just feel the armor doesn’t really have any Charr influence (Obviously since it’s the human male armor model). I think maybe if they went back and adjusted pants/sleeves to be more forgiving on fur and mobility then the armor would look alright.

Threw this together just to show what I mean.

Completely agree with the general idea behind this thread. In all honesty the thing that bothers me most about Charr is the strange skintight human clothes. I absolutely hate it and it kept me from really playing a Charr knowing that there’s really only a couple decent looking sets.

Course I’m speaking from the light armor perspective, but it seems agreed that armor for Charr is poorly transitioned. Lots of clipping, no horns, awkward style…

I don’t think tribal armor is bad by any means. There’s a lot of current things that don’t make sense lore-wise, so saying armor shouldn’t be tribal because of flame legion is the least of the worries I feel.

I can’t stand these weird bulky or skin tight ruffles and buttons on my BEAST race. My Charr isn’t a human and last I knew there’s still a little tension between the two. Why in the hell do I need to dress like one? I need my mobility to not be impaired! What was the point of even picking fur patterns..rarely have I noticed anyone’s pattern unless I stare at the head/tail…Which is all that’s ever showing.

I guess I just can’t understand why my large, bestial Charr needs to be covered head to toe in awkward clipping male human model armor. I’m covered in freaking fur! Could you imagine a Charr actually trying to run on all fours in some of this stuff? Makes me laugh and feel bad.

There’s a gallery, some are ok, but overall I still hate the pants with skirts and long sleeves. Personally love T3 Culture, wish the other designs had a similar feel.

Apparently a mod decided to move this and wiped out my entire reply. Don’t feel like writing my whole reply over again argh…

Thank you guys for your replies, though you probably won’t see it!

Let me start off by saying this- Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. By all means state and explain your opinion, but don’t come in here trying to force them on others, please!

I have the strangest love hate relationship with GW2 combat. I enjoy the mobility of the combat, but I get burned out with my class by the time I hit 30-50s. I’ve leveled a few different classes to that range, and if playing Guardian in PvP for around a month counts, then that too.

I just can’t seem to fit in with this combat system. I feel like it heavily favors the lazy, solo minded DPS. I’ve always been a support/healer main and I just feel like these anti-trinity MMOs are trying to get rid of me.

I’ve tried Guardian, Necro, Mesmer, and Ranger. I had hoped Mesmer would be some challenging class like everyone claimed it to be, but I didn’t personally feel it was at all. Guardian was alright, but I feel their abilities were too self focused, like a strong melee based support. If they’re my only option I guess I may just try leveling one again.

Is there any class I could play that doesn’t feel like repetitive or dull combat, that can support? Or am I just SoL and need to look for another game?

Come on guys, surely someone knows! They do exist, I just can’t figure out where.

Hi guys!

I’ve asked in a million places where this armor is from and no one seems to know. I’ve seen 2 pictures of these sets now from a preview window, one male charr and one female.

Any idea where or how to get this armor? Will give you guys lots of cookies for help!

Had been contacted by support asking for information regarding my GW1 account to correctly link the account to my GW2 account when it had automatically linked the wrong account for me on the first day of launch. It’s been days since I’ve replied to that email providing all the information I was able to, and still have not received any further information on the situation.
Hoping this issue can be resolved soon

Wow I was starting to think I was crazy!
I never got the chance to enter my info from gw1 either, I was just sent to a success page. Had to contact support because obviously no points and unable to login so they aren’t linked. The rep that messaged me back definitely chose not to read my request, just said emails matched and never heard from him again. Gave him all the info he could possibly need and he still slapped the FAQ in my face. I got the same automated email you guys got saying we didn’t forget about you. Going on 2 weeks now…I just wanted my accounts linked, is it truly that complicated? =(
