Guild Wars 2

I’ll show off my bias in a snapshot.

Awesome screenshot. My Engineer is a Charr as well, and I love it. Asura probably makes the most sense, but Sylvari would probably be very interesting since it’s such a non-canonical combination.

I’ve noticed that just about every second or third player-charr is either nearly or completely white-furred or “albino”. A lot of people seem to be fond of making their charr snowblind-white with no markings—or at least with a “white tiger” theme. Combine this with the three most popular male & female faces, and you have a ton of clones running around. I think everyone should make what they love, but I’m surprised at how popular the snow-white theme is. What are your thoughts?

While there is enormous variation in patterns and physical characteristics available, few of these are striking or noticeable at a distance. It’s rare that you’ll be so close to another toon that you’ll appreciate the work they did choosing their pattern/color/feature combo; on the other hand, it’s quite easy to notice stark white or black toons at a distance. Simple contrasts stand out much better. I think that’s what appeals.

My Charr is gold with black spots, with the crazy-person face. I like him, and I designed his appearance for me to enjoy and not anyone else. My Sylvari, by contrast, is deep red head to toe and thus easier for others to appreciate.

Hi all,

I’m looking for websites similar to mmo-champion.com or wow.joystiq.com for GW2. I’d like to read blogs, analyses, watch videos, read developer comments and so forth on third party sites. I’ve seen a couple of dinky or sparsely updated fan sites for this game, but I feel like my Google skills are weak.

GW2 has millions of players, right? There have to be some awesome third party websites out there for this game. Please point me to your favorites in English!

Thanks! ^ ^
