Guild Wars 2

Isn’t it good to have a situational skill for zergs…? Lots of people run builds for teams/zergs and having a heal to go with the rest of it doesn’t sound so horrible to me. Plus it looks like it could be a life saver if you pop it in the middle of a zerg fight while you’re lagging and you can’t get out of the aoes etc.

Female 6, my girl is scary when she glares at you.

*cough*Scarlet*cough* >.>

Sylvari can easily work with any and all classes, really every race has somewhere each class would fit.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/races/charr/A-net-dissapointed-in-lack-of-Charr/first < This thread wasn’t originally about the non differences in armor but that is what it quickly became and I feel like it is a good example and something you might want to read.

My response to this thread is the same as to that one. I strongly dislike being forced to wear “female armor” when the male version is 200 time more awesome and covers more.

Ashes.9586:

As a female player who plays a female Charr, I am quite happy with the fact that my character isn’t what I like to call “boobed out” with armor that is barely recognizable as the same set a male next to me is wearing. I don’t WANT people to instantly notice my character is female.
The Charr aren’t about gender they are about what you can do on the battle field, and the fact that my armor matches the males around me makes me feel like I am actually a part of the legions and a true companion of the Charr around me. I would HATE it if suddenly my character had some kinda frilly design on her armor and the males didn’t.

Now, I wouldn’t mind there being accessories of sorts like mane or horn decorations etc to say I was female, that would be something I could choose to display instead of automatic “YOU’RE A GIRL SO WEAR THIS CAUSE I SAID SO.” Now, if the previously stated frilly design was a CHOICE for an armor piece I wouldn’t mind it so much.

Basically to sum everything I said above is that it’s a matter of choice, I don’t want to be forced to state that I am a female through my armor, my face and horns are supposed to do that job.

tldr: I do not want the armor to be changed but I wouldn’t mind choices between two versions of armor.

This depends on the build, not the fact that they are a warrior. I main warrior and I have little to no options of running away from you short of jumping off a cliff,

Now necros, let’s just take a moment to savor the irony of this post.

Not bashing you, Ashes, just saying that for a long time, cliffs have been considered the necro’s only escape route because we have no other options and we can drop any height without taking damage (assuming we have an unused spectral walk on our skillbar).

I am aware of this, and I consider it a nice trick to be able to pull off. I alt a necro (still learning the class) and getting the hang of timing for those kinds of tricks with spectral walk just isn’t my thing apparently (least in a fight).

nekretaal.6485:

You can’t beat well played warrior. They can always exit, reset the fight, then kill you while you are on cool downs.

This depends on the build, not the fact that they are a warrior. I main warrior and I have little to no options of running away from you short of jumping off a cliff, and that’s if a cliff is handy. If you want to be able to run away on a war you have to carry either a sword or greatsword (better option) or carry bull’s rush.

There’s a difference between well played and carrying run away options.

knbBlackTemplar.3059:

Stop using cultural armor, we are brand new race, how can we claim trust from other species when we look like bushes and trees?

Men will never trust someone who didn’t look like them. We are very young and Pale Tree will never let us forget about our roots, so cut yourself down from forest and enter the City in the way of style.

Suit Up.

With a face like that I don’t think it’s your armor that would be the problem :P

Robert Andrews.7168:

And here I was just thinking of staring up a Charr Engineer since I just came back to the game. Wouldn’t mind having him in a themed guild. I’d prolly play him more on the PvE end, with occasional bouts into WvW whenever the fancy gets me. I’ll edit this post when I get him made, so you know when to send me an invite.

Oh, I’m on Devona’s Rest, by the way.

King xiuras.3615:

Hello,

I have a char warrior, Khalar Bladestorm.
I’m a comander in wvw and legendary pug master :p, i would like to see a char army there ;-) (i’m fromFSP)
But i would like to join the guild for more chars and form the greatest legion ever!

See you on the battlefield/in dungeons etc!!

Invites sent to both of you welcome to the Legion!

TinaH.3806:

I’m interested in joining, but I already maxed out my guilds… Can I still join in on events somehow?

I’m a Dragonbrand Charr-favoring player. Level 80 Warrior and Engi (Charrs); Jala Bloodspiller and Ritzy.

Sure! might be a little hard to communicate but I’m willing to give it a shot

irishwalrus.5162:

Hi I am interested in joining. My main is a Level 80 Charr Guardian with Tier 3 Cultural. By far Charr is my favorite race. Would love an invite.

I’ll send you and invite as soon as I get on, welcome to the Legion

Nay of the Ether.8913:

Are you guys still around? I been making charrs since beta and haven’t stopped since. Up to my 7th charr and not done yet! Shoot me an invite if this guild is still kicking!

We are indeed stick kicking! I’ll send you an invite welcome to the Legion!

Fernzpat.3269:

Hi, I got two charrs my main is called Hairy Kitty and I would like to join.

Welcome to the Legion!

I would probably have my charr wear a mix of charr and norn cultural if that happened.
But it wont ever happen, they barely want to fix sets or make new ones, let alone make the different cultural pieces (which currently only have to have male and female sets) usable for all races.
It’s not work that they would be willing to do. Nor is it work they NEED to do.

kiarrn.7926:

I’m not really talking agility wise, their fingers look like solid claws, or is they just poor design?

They can retract their claws, they just don’t in-game. (Know this from reading the Guild Wars books, the charr characters constantly retract their claws etc.)

DABidDrew.9521:

Hello everyone, I as well am interesting in joining this guild. My main is a Charr thief going by the name, Davikh, and my home server is Tarnished Coast. An invite would be most appreciated.

Invite sent, welcome to the Legion

As Henge said, welcome
We need to get some dungeons going again, had way too much fun when we did them before.

Ash seems the most likely, but I think both Blood and Iron wouldn’t mind having a necro on their front lines. Iron necro would probably send minions out while they man a cannon etc, and a Blood necro would probably just go crazy. Ash necro could use their minions to spy or as backup on a one person mission.
Really any profession could go in any legion, there are lots of options.

Helmet (when shown): Tier 3
Shoulders: Twisted Watchwork Shoulders Skin
Chest: Order of Whispers
Gloves: Tier 1
Pants: Tier 2
Boots: Tier 1

Dyes are lava and graphite. (Using a different random red for the shoulders because they’re a little too orange with lava dye)

Blueskylightdragon.4876:

Dustfinger.9510:

Unslaadfel.3519:

Spirituality, religion, and a closeness to nature would actually ruin the charr because it would make them seem too civil. Beasts do not care for religion or the environment. Beasts only care for the hunt, war, and their pride.

This^. Well said.

Hm. I think quiet opposite. I want to see Charr in that way too but still keep normal charr. Something like some groups of environmentalists, faith seeker Charrs decide to emigrate from the Black citadel to find better quality of nature or maybe found a real prophet that will create religion and shape their society.

You mean the flame legion. We can see how well that is going.

The Charr would DESTROY any group that tried to be “prophets” for any kind of religion among them. It would almost be like betraying who they are.

chemiclord.3978:

One half the fanbase gripes that armor sets are too revealing and that they should cover up more.

The other half would rather run around half naked.

That’s female light vs medium/heavy armor users.

I can’t remember a time where I’ve seen someone with their character wearing nothing just to be immature. I’ve had “naked” fights in pvp for fun and had a few guildies run with zergs naked, but other than that I haven’t seen anything that would convince me that it would be abused.
It would be a big deal for about a week, after that no one would care. Or if the devs REALLY wanted to be careful they could only give it to the races that need it.

Charr could honestly get away with hiding everything except their pants.

Rouven.7409:

I would use this feature for two races, the charr because of the fur patterns and the norn because of the tattoos.

Sylvari would need it too.

Just want to say that we are still recruiting!
We need legionnaires to put together some warbands!

I think it’s just one face that does it, I noticed it too when I made my necromancer. The areas that are green become your glow color at night. I think it’s just a sylvari thing to have random green since they are plants, but I’ve only kept one sylvari character so Idk for sure. I never thought about it being green because of being a necromancer, I just thought it was the face I chose.

^ People still playing that gimmick? Im shocked..

It might be a gimmick…

But it’s my gimmick.XD

(and I played it before it was cool, so my hipster powers will make me go where the build won’t let me… :P)

That’s how I feel with hammer warrior XD been playing it for at least half a year. I remember seeing threads with people saying hammer was useless and to take greatsword instead, and now it’s getting nerfed.

I’m worried about HOW their going to nerf basically the entire class….. It says they don’t like how we can do everything in one build, so how in the world do you nerf builds without nerfing EVERYTHING?
Plus it’s funny how wars get a hammer update where we can move during ONE attack that we couldn’t move with before and everyone starts crying saying that they can’t beat hammer warriors.

Jiminy.8340:

Thank you

This and t1 heavy+ t3 heavy helm

What’s wrong with the heavy helmet? O.o

T3 heavy helm? Smaller horns clipping (funny thing that its olny affect male charrs), as well many faces. Hope u understand what im saying bc im tired a bit atm

Ah I see, I understand what you’re saying. I’ve never seen/had this problem because my only charr who has this helm is a female with about medium sized horns.

Scoobaniec.9561:

This and t1 heavy+ t3 heavy helm

What’s wrong with the heavy helmet? O.o

I would be happy with an update replacing a living story update with a giant armor update. I feel like there needs to be more basic armor sets across all levels and not just 80 top gear. (It would be awesome if we could have basic culture related armor. For example an armor piece looks different on each race but has the same name/icon etc.)

That said, I would also just be happy with them giving us all the npc armor. Granted a lot of npcs wear armor already in the game, but there is some out there we can’t wear or are our town clothes, which are useless.

Here’s a quote from a post of mine on an old thread about Charr armor that says pretty much exactly the same thing. ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/races/charr/The-agony-of-Charr-armor-Long-read/first )

I would definitely like to see more Charr armor in the game that is actually related to the lore of the Charr. I feel like Anet needs to just expand it’s general armor styles across all levels rather than create new level 80 armor and skins. It would be awesome if they could just take each race and work on creating stuff like the acolyte armor (that you seem to ALWAYS be able to get and use no matter what your level is) only for each race SPECIFICALLY. I would be happy to just have a lore/culture armor patch for all the races (that of course would include clipping fixes) over a new story patch. Heck I would be happy if they just gave us what the NPCs wear!

Sad Swordfish.9743:

Chuck Zitto.2367:

I to have wanted a katana greatsword or sword. But anet always introduces huge bulking ugly skins instead.

They did add a Rapier! But that’s more of a Mesmer weapon!

But you are right, a lot of the weapons are very glowy, flash, big. I would love to see more elegant weapons. Simplistic, subtle but still impactful.

What’s the name of that sword? I tried looking around for it and I couldn’t find it .

phaeris.7604:

Changes which would balance the current Hammer warrior opness.

1) Adrenaline should take longer to accumulate. With current abilities it’s basically always up within the cooldown of an adrenal ability. That’s like giving mesmers shatter every 5 seconds, or thieves the steal ability every 5 seconds.

2) Hammer aoe stun should spend adrenaline if it misses. Currently you just get a 5 second cooldown. If you miss that’s your fault.

3) Healing signet health +adrenal health – completely ridiculous health regen.

What do I do to get this oh so holy 5 second-non existent cool down time? Sounds lovely. Oh and please, non traited constant adrenaline would be lovely as well. My hammer currently doesn’t hit fast enough to get it without it traited.

EDIT: On a side note, an easy way to beat a hammer warrior is to have a blind and then a couple stuns of your own. I carry 2 stun blockers, 1 condi removal, and my rez banner. If you can do damage and evade you wont have a problem.

Loken.9724:

Thanks NITE + EA for the fun times on IOJ BL tonight.

That was quite fun indeed needs to happen again

This is my girl, Ash Bloodfire, she’s my main and I love her
At one point I was seriously thinking about using a make-over kit on her, but now I would never be able to even though I ended picking up one from a black lion chest.
(Yes, my graphics are all on low, deal with it)

YOU! I think…. I think I killed you. On WvW. You’re dragonbrand yes? There was this charr and I thought -holy crap I’ve seen that one somewhere- XDD

Love your armor set btw

XDDD Yup, that’s me. Kinda sad to know that my armor looks so gold in that lighting though (EDIT: kitten , team colors XD). And thanks, charr may not always look good in armor, but when they do they put all other races to shame.
As proven by Brutalistik above me XD

Sirendor.1394:

I think they should nerf rewards based on the number of players that tag the champion.

Sadly that would cause the same problem in a different form, people would yell at others joining them in champ fights because the loot wouldn’t be as good. It sounds good at first but then if you think about it it becomes the worst idea EVER.

I’m glad the champ trains stay in a couple places, but it’s also sad to run by a champ in another zone that you know you can’t beat by yourself and wish that there were other people there to kill it with you.

Cactus.2710:

etienne.1039:

knives.6345:

etienne.1039:

I can’t kill them on my own but there is a huge pressure in the chat NOT to kill a champ before a train arrives. And I don’t like that. That is my message.

Well, what you’re doing is telling people to stop how they want to play so you can play how you want to play… Ironic..

You’re missing my point. If people want to kill champs with others, fine to me. They can do so. If I’m ordered to not kill a champ, that’s a different story. And yes, I know i can make a report, but I don’t feel like that. I want to play the game.

So … because you don’t like people telling you in game how they want you to act you come here to the forums to tell them how you want them to act. I don’t think we’re missing the point at all … you are.

He didn’t say anything about them not killing champs, he said they can play how they want and he just wants to be able to kill champs without being yelled at.

knives.6345:

Banewrath.5107:

Having a commander on/of toggle in the map legend would fix this.

It will defeat the purpose of the commander tag – to be seen across the map…

Sooo if I don’t want to follow commanders or if I don’t care where they are I should still have to see their tag? It’s not like a map toggle would remove it for everyone around you, just you. We can remove other things with a toggle anyway.

Ashes.9586:

Rifle has no aoes, longbow does and is therefor often used almost as a defense weapon where you can stand in the aoe and watch people burn.
Rifle can also not blind you or lock you in place.

They still play differently, comparing the two is the exact same as you comparing hammer and greatsword. By your comparison, that fact that we have SEVEN melee weapons already means nothing, but we better not have more than TWO ranged ones!
I seriously don’t understand WHY we need another melee one. Please, tell me why.

Longbow and rifle play differently but they both are ranged.
Greatsword and sword play differently but they both are melee.

So you think Rifle would be fine and more importantly fun if they did nothing but simple number fixes to it? You think the basic mechanics are fine the way they are?

I agree that it’s skill could use some fancying up, but I don’t want another melee weapon. You can make decent range skills without turning it into melee weapon. It’s a RIFLE, not a musket or a shotgun, it doesn’t have bayonets etc.

a t s e.9614:

He was right about the hammer , if your earthshaker miss
You still can spam it mindlessly until it hits something because
You dont lose your adrenaline .

It’s the same for every warrior weapon, it’s not like hammer is this random exception with adrenaline. Also if we DID lose our adrenaline every time we missed a adrenaline attack, what would be the point?
It takes TIME to build that up, losing it cause I got blinded would kitten me off to no end. Plus adrenaline attacks still go on a cool down. I think it’s like 7 seconds or something like that, not sure, would have to go ingame and look. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t 7-8 seconds kinda average for an interrupted skill cooldown? Aka those attacks are nothing new in usability but they take time to be able to use. (assuming my cooldown number is correct)

I just have one thing to say…… WHY does everyone want to turn rifle into a melee weapon or a shotgun? T_T

…..
“Hey guys I’m going to give us all a buff that the enemy can’t kill or take away!”
“HOW DARE YOU GET IN THE WAY OF MY LOOT! YOU OP FACEROLLING SKILLESS CLASS!”
“But…. I….. But….. T_T.”

I understand that it can be annoying to accidentally pick a banner up, but come on, it’s not like it only helps whoever puts it down. Banners help ANYONE by them and that buff can’t be stolen.
I’ve accidentally picked up banners MANY times before, but you know what I do? swig it around a couple times and put it down. Yes, it’s annoying, yes, it may almost get you killed, still a boost to you and those around you.

PizzaSHARK.2741:

Ashes.9586:

……no….. I need my rifle for when I CAN’T get close or I NEED to stay away. What you’re asking for is for it to be turned into another melee weapon. We can use EVERY melee weapon except DAGGER. If you change rifle’s damage to be related to how close you are you are going to see even more warriors with longbow. There’s a reason the 5 skill is a knock back.

I’m not going to switch to my rifle just to stay in the same range as my hammer.

The Rifle isn’t meant to be a secondary weapon – it’s meant to be your primary weapon. You’d be swapping to your hammer to use hammer skills before going back to rifle, not the other way around.

The longbow is a support weapon, the rifle is a damage weapon. Or it’s supposed to be, anyway.

Who says it can’t be a secondary? Sometimes I go in rifle first, sometimes I go in hammer first. In the end it’s the same concept, rifle = stay away, hammer = get close. Doesn’t matter if either one is in my top or bottom weapon slot.

What makes a weapon a “secondary” weapon on a warrior anyway? Traits? Which slot it’s in? How often you use it? What if I was using a greatsword with it? Would it become a secondary then?
What you’re saying is that, compared to rifle, hammer is a secondary weapon, to which I say da heck are you talking about? Hammer is hammer, rifle is rifle, neither are a “meant” to be a “secondary” or “main” weapon.

Longbow can also PLENTY of damage. Dat burn.

Dee Jay.2460:

The problem with starting with a Warrior is that everything thereafter will feel weak and slow.

I have to disagree, this depends on the person. I main a warrior and have since I started playing, my warrior has been 80 for a while now and I have been really enjoying leveling a necro and ele. Yes, it is different, but still enjoyable.
There’s nothing like slamming someone into the ground with a hammer, but there’s also nothing like turning into a black cloud of doom or breathing fire.

Who would wear light armor outside of RP if they put it in? I see where you are coming from but there are no mechanics in the game to make someone want to wear light armor over heavy besides looks. If they were to do this they would have to add a LOT to the armor system. It would have to become like skyrim where robes often give you magic boosts etc. Which they COULD do, but I don’t see them doing that when they don’t seem to want to ever fix anything related to armor.
It would be a big change.

The particle effects do need some more controlling settings options.

Though something I would really really like to see is a slightly different version of ctrl+shift+h, which turns off all the UI. If this window showed my health and class specialty (ex. adrenalin) I would use it almost all the time. I know what buttons do what on my characters and I would LOVE to be able to just hide everything and enjoy what I can see around the world (messy particles and all), kinda like how Skyrim works with your health etc only coming up when you need to see it.

Basically, a new version of the UI with only the health, class special, and a small arrow in the corner to bring up the chat box. The current UI is very nice and doesn’t take up a whole lot of the screen but there is still a big difference with it not there at all.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Ventari lived with humans in peace, he was an exception, right? That’s prooobably the main reason why they don’t favor centaurs as a whole.

ryan.6217:

Actually I believe there have been studies abut this. Most people choose to play humans in a game where other races are playable because of relation. When you play as a human you tend to have a connection to the character, you can relate. This is also why a lot of people make their characters glorified avatars of themselves. When you play as a non-human, like asura and charr, you lose the ability to connect to the race. Their morals and values may accurately represent our own, but you don’t quite connect to them.

I’ve actually found that I’ve connected to my charr character more than my human one. I have a charr warrior and a human elementalist, and though I love playing both classes my charr is the character that I have connected with. I also get attached to characters very very easily though (NPC or not) so I might just be the odd one.

This is my girl, Ash Bloodfire, she’s my main and I love her

Zaxares.5419:

4. Very little is known about Asura families and relationships. They do fall in love and make long-term commitments, but it’s unclear if they have marriages as humans and Norn do. However, since Asura generally seek academic achievement as an indicator of social success, they probably disregard any eccentricity of an Asura’s sexual tastes as irrelevant to what they have discovered/achieved.

Well there is Tonn and his wife Ceera, they clearly love each other dearly and Tonn refers to her a lot when he talks. So from what I’ve seen they do have human/norn like marriages. Though who knows how widely that kind of marriage is used or what their main “culture” is when it comes to marriages, they might just be an exception of sorts. Maybe they just like the human/norn way.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Demolitionist_Tonn
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pact_Medic_Ceera (Ceera’s page has unhidden spoilers on it, just to warn people.)

They can make amazing necromancers if you’re up for that.

i’ve got a level 80 charr guardian, and a level 80 necro and warrior. Hit me up with an invite ill join the guild. My in-game name is Bugziee

Welcome to the Legion

The lack of body forms is probably because Sylvari get glow and all the colors of the rainbow and then some. Sylvari really are the most customizable race in the game in my opinion. All humans can really do is change their shape and hair, so of course they get more body forms and hair styles, they don’t get to glow or be multi colored.
