Guild Wars 2

All I can say is, maybe we’ll see flickers of Tengu when we go after the Destroyers. I know there has been a lot of talk about the Tengu in the years, and it is obvious they are wanted. The only words that were said is that they may explore the Tengu in the future.

Oh well.

I was disappointed when the Tengu weren’t announced, it is one of the most, if not the most desired new race people want. They also won’t be shoe-horned as it was said, they already have stated, they will need to join a side eventually. With what happened in Lions Arch that kicked this whole thing off. I was certain they were going to chose a side there alas, nothing was said.

If anything, they may come playable when we go after the destroyers, as they have been harassing the Dominion of Winds since launch.

I also am a firm believer that the best way to compliment a new class is a new race, but that is just my opinion.

I honestly think we won’t see anything about the Tengu for a long, long, long time.

If it remains on the Laurel Vendors I could possibly let this pass. Since it’ll be the cheapest way. I suspect the Unidentified dyes will only increase from here out in price until much later in the year.

I found it hilarious that Anet says the demand for Dyes will decrease, so they removed the drops for Unidentified dyes.

I’ve seen quite the opposite. The Dyes on the TP have skyrocketed in price and the demand for them has increased.

I have a question now:

Why will you remove the Unidentified Dye drops off of Mobs? Will we be stuck having to pay greedy prices just for a chance now?

This was a bad move. Everything else was good, but removing the drops? Bad Bad Move.

Tengu, all the way.

And to be honest no other Mmo has ever released a avian race as a PC. I’d still say give them PC status!

In terms of difference from others.

They do seem to be an honor-driven race that resembles Feudal Japan. I don’t see any other race like this, save for the Charr, who are nothing like them. The Charr have honor, yes, but don’t all warrior Races?

Will the Tengu even be a warrior race? They don’t seem too hostile to me to show that, they just don’t trust others because of how they were treated in the past.

They can really work with this, and with the Setup they gave the Tengu, and the original intention, after they fix the bugs in the game they will now have time to focus on new content, or complete the Tengu race.

Heck, I noticed this:

We have arctypes (Warrior, Scholar, Adventurer) Schoalrs and Adventurers have 3 classes in them:

Warrior: Warrior and Guardian
Adventurer: Engineer, Ranger, Theif
Scholar: Mesmer, Necromancer, Elementalist

Maybe with the tengu, they can add a 3rd warrior ‘archtype’ class based after the Japanese Samurai or something else if that does not work! (not to mention Katanas, Nodachis, Tantos, and Wakasashis! )

Just my two cents!

I keep voting my hope for them to be a playable race in the future, ever since I read that part in the Art Book about them. They have idle animations, a city center that opens out into a 1-15 zone. Not to mention they can make use of one of the areas of water around their location for their personal area.

Here’s to hoping it comes true.

I still say personally the Tengu have the highest potential of them all currently, as they were originally set up to be one.

I just can’t see the Skritt as playable, despite my like towards them.

I also am looking forward to the Tengu.

the tribal races though… I don’t know. I won’t like it, a few of these races were designed without the thought of them needing a player model. (The Hylek) And it would be way too much work for them to implement them in. (Animations and all that stuff)

Well…Since the ash Legion has Sniper Turrets I see this entirely possible. However, it will be needed to be weighed, due to this sniper rifles nearly one-shotting mobs.

I did however, ask the question: “Where is the engineer’s sniper rifle?” When I saw those turrets.

If they release the tengu…I won’t be surprised if this is their dance.

People seem to think there’s a ‘fix it’ switch that the developers can simply flip. The game is not even a month old yet and people are whining because it’s not the perfect game. It won’t be perfection as soon as it is released, and it will take time to fix it, as all MMOs are. I do agree though, they should have had more testers in the higher endgame zones, however, I will not complain because they are not getting ‘instantly’ fixed.

This MoP will be the same way, People will whine and complain about broken things. I bet it.

I’m geting a bit frustrated with this. I don’t know if it’s anything here, I have no viruses or anything. But As of the Game Last night 11 pm cst, the game was fine in framerates.

But when I loaded the game up today after the update, the game dropped to 9 FPS… Making it rather unplayable. I figure it May have been a memory leak?

I usually get around 50-60+ FPS, 100+ if at the highest performance. I play a mix of a balanced setting and now I get 8 FPS 16 to 20 at most, which makes the game very sluggish and laggy.

I don’t know whats going on…

I get this bug occasional too, during the dragon fights.

Hylek is not gonna work, The Art Wook even said so. "A Race that we can think of without limitations’ or something along those lines.

Tengu, gods yes I’d love to see them as playable, especially after what the art book said of them. It evne said they were intended to be one of the playable races untill they were removed. So Out of any Minor race that has a chance, the Tengu have the highest probability.

Kodan.. I dunno, they are cool, but I don’t know if it will work.

Heh, there are so many threads like this, I even created one a bit ago.

But, I do Champion Tengu as a playable race still.

I like the idea of making traveling costs free once an entire map is fully explored (this is a 100 percent completion for that map)

Anet had set them up to be a playbale race in the future, it’s so obvious and I hope it’s true.

I’d rather see a Tengu first…

I like Jeremy Soule…. I have no idea why your hating on him. the Music Fits. Think of Soule as Anet’s Uetmatsu if you must.

The thing is, they originally were to be playable from the start, but someone dropped them to focus on the 5. That had it all set up.

I’d say finish it up! The Tengu just look awesome, and their story would be too.

Well yes, by all means, when they’re finished optimizing and improving the game we have right now.

I certainly hope so. So much potential they have.

Now I know I sound like a broken record when I keep championing this hope, but I would absolutely love it if they can be put in as a playable race. So many signs point ot that they will be playable, but this is a nod to them, saying “Go for it”

I read the art book that came with my Guild Wars 2 copy, and I read the entry about the Tengu. They were originally to be one of the playable races, but scrapped to focus on the 5. It hinted that they would also be a big future development hope.

I say, why not put them in, now that the game is out, and that you already got the original races in. After optimization of the game, of course, the Tengu have a lot of potential. Maybe introduce them alongside a new class, or stand alone.

If I recall, they had 4 ‘houses’ This could play into their creation. Unfortunately I am not able to recall these particular groups, but for a personal story, they could play it out.

I believe they are being targeted mostly by Primordus? I know you help them outside Kessex Hills by a gate to thwart the Destroyers. Perhaps when Zhatain isn’t a problem anymore and you move to Primordus, the Tengu could join the other races in the game against the remaining Elder Dragons.

Not to mention, they state they soon need to choose who are allies an enemies… and Apparently I hear rumors around that a Asura Gate is being constructed in the Dominion of Winds to Lion’s Arch.

What the main entrance of DoW seems to be in is the Caledon Forest, which I believe is the Sylvari Starter zone? They can perhaps share this starter zone, or they can open out to the other unmapped areas around DoW’s general area.

I also think they are sending out their people to spread wisdom amongst the world?

Their customization would be pretty colorful, and something completely different from the other races currently in the game.

I’d throw money at the screen for these guys to become playable, I personally would love to see it happen, and if they will be playable for sure due to the hints dropped… I will be extremely happy.

As for this thread, if anyone wishes to add anything about how to implement the Tengu and Dominion of Winds into the game, feel free to add them here.

The Tengu remains the top of my list, it will remain there after I read about them in the Art book!

• Add a first person view, there are places I’d love to take screenshots of without my character in the way. Like the Wizard’s Fief, that floating building off of the coast. It will also work when trying to fit a charr into a small area!

• Preview option on the Trading post. There are tones of things in this game, and I’d love to see how they appear. As it stands right now, you have to buy them, to view them, and I don’t like that!

I have other suggestions, but they do not fall under game improvement, more like future features, and will post those when the appropriate thread shows up! (Or I can always make one, but seeing the game was just released… it’s probably too soon)

I forgot the name of which the one I have is, It’s A black and yes, it’s a rare. I can’t remember it’s name though.

I’d rather see the Tengu first! They were originally intended to be a playable race, why not make them?

Kodan would be a second if anything, but I really want the Tengu.
