Guild Wars 2

Thank you very much! ^^

I loved to read the Taimi’s notes on the Gw2 site but still I would have loved even more to get them by mail ingame. Like if she is managing to send them to the commander to keep in touch. It wouldn’t be a big problem I guess…right? it is just about sending everyone who owns Hot the email with the same content of the post on the site.
Please anet?

Here it is my sketch of Eir Stegalkin. Miss her ingame :<

I saw the recently returned armors into the pvp and wvw tracks, will we ever be so lucky to see the return of the amazing Destroyer scythe staff skin?

Dear Devs please put more meaningful choices in the next expansion like you did for the main personal story.
That was a big thing for me and my friends to feel motivated to play again all the missions with a different characters, and it was helping to keep feeling engaged with the game.
I feel that you lost that in the Hot expansion, I felt much less motivated to go through the story. I think that is mainly why the story of Hot felt too short for some of us.
I know that the characters say different things if they are sylvari or asura or human but that is just not enough to me.. If we could get different paths or some different missions based on active choices, like with “my greatest fear” mission or the different factions that you decide to join, that would be great!
I don’t mind about the end of the story, it could be the same but I really feel that those choices make our story feel more real and that this is one of the strongest points of Gw2.

I hope this thought reaches you

We never surrender, we protect, we are true sons and daughters of Kryta, we never forget.
We are the Shining Blades.

-DISMANTLE-

What I would really want to have in Gw2, talking about environment and immersion, is a night and day cycle that is more visible…
Right now nights feel like day, there were more than one occasion where I was waiting for the night time and I could’t realize if it was already or not. There was for example a mission of some kind in LA where I had to enter a house at night…I waited and then got bored and went doing some crafting…I missed one night because the transition was so soft that I couldn’t even say that there was a difference…
SO, please make the nights darker or add a checkbox for people that want it, so that the rest that don’t want this to change could be happy too.

Pretty please?!

^ THIS!!!
I want it too! And why just one? Bring back some scythes skins for greatswords from gw1!!

As other people pointed out the “learning other race skills” worked fine in gw1 and was also interesting on the RPG side since you learned those skills by being in close contact with a certain race and by doing so you end up learning their ways.
Also I don’t see any issue with not asuran using asura technology since in the lore we already have Scarlet that studied with the asura and learned to use their knowledge at her advance and also we have the Priory using asura based technology and not only asura have access to those kind of stuff.
Obviously if a race skills sharing would be implemented it would just give more options and make those races that want to use those skill make feel even more unique instead of using the profession skills.

Having all those racial skills wasted just because they are not good enough to be at the same level as the other skills is really bad in my opinion. I think they need a good boost and maybe a way to access them for all the races like mastery lines for asuras to master the norn spirits after living with the Norn and so on, that would be amazing and an interesting way of using the masteries.

Allocating resources for a new races is the best way to go for them, Legendaries touch a small amount if people and even though I really miss them I think that as they are right now they are not integrated into the game well enough, so races is the best to also add enough new content also for the casual players.

For me TENGU of course! It is the more interesting lore wise , we were already teased before the release of the game about them and they were taken out probably because of not enough time to develop them properly.
We find Tengu everywhere and most of them speak about the fact that they are thinking to join forces with the other 5 races. We also have a cool tengu in the guild hall with a new skin different from the old tengu models.
Oh and we have a big Tengu’s city on the side of LA with a big door communicating with the current capital…they will not keep that hidden forever.
If you can tell me the same for the other races I would accept that Tengu are not the only choice possible.
Not even the Kodan have the same amount of stuff to be said about.

Cheer folks!
And abandon your chances of having quaggan skritt and hylek…they will never be implemented, NEVER…look at the lore…. And they are stupid, yes especially quaggan… If I could I would exterminate them…..they are soooo annoying..

:D No hard feelings!

I was thinking about how difficult is to enjoy low level maps or those maps where nothing big happens(world bosses and such) and how hard is to integrate it meaningfully into the play session and feel truly rewarded…actually right now if you miss seeing a map you drop in spend some time and come out unrewarded compared to what you would get from a world boss event or from maps like hot where you get the big chest at the end but even in those maps sometimes you don’t find people going around because the meta has not started yet.
And that’s a pity when you see all those beautiful maps where you just go once maybe just for the world completion.

My idea would be to have map dailies, just 1 or 2 per map would be enough, and those dailies could be about basic, casual stuff, like finish 5 events or view all the vistas again. If you do that daily you get for each map a truly rare material, with some value that you can think about keeping or sell.
The problem would be people going to farm those and to prevent that maybe adding a cap about how many map you can do the daily in per day would solve part of the problem, and place some of those time gated materials that you can get once a day, like the Charged Quartz Crystals, so that you can get it double if you go to the obelisk and create one and to the map to get one.

To balance the maps it would be interesting if there were different materials less rare the more you can get from that map in other ways, so world bosses maps would get less rare materials than those without anything important.

If materials farming is too much of a issue then give achievement points instead!

I think that would help the more casual players, and give a meaning to the unused maps.

I know that there is already something like that like the map currency that you see when you hover over the map name but that is more connected to the rng it seems and most of the maps give stuff that is not really useful.

Also I know there are much more important things to do in the game but I’ll leave this here as an idea for the future.

Race Norn, armor piece Triumphant helmet, issue missing beard.
My norn has a big beard but the Triumphant helmet makes it disappear even if it would be not all covered. Please fix it! I want to use that helmet but not changing my character appearance.

I think it’s important for all the bearded Norn and Humans to have the beard showing under the Triumphant heavy armor headpiece…I was disappointed to see this amazing heavy helmet without long beard of my norn showing underneath. So please! Please a-net fix it!

I’m doing the shatterer event every time I can but lately after having all the achievements done except for the breakbar one I find myself not enjoying the event anymore.
It is a pity since I think it is much more fun than before but doing it just because I hope to do just 1 really hard achievement puts me in a situation where I get kittened at the other players if they don’t collaborate or if at the end the event fails.
I think that introducing repeatable achievements for the Shatterer with cool chests with rare materials or stuff that you can sell at a good price, would help a lot to alleviate the feeling that if I don’t get the achievement then I just lost a bunch of time for nothing, especially if you can get the chest at the end just 1 time per day.

Is it like this for someone else?
Please devs think about it

I know this will most probably not solve the problem but at least if at your first levels you have an explenation about how to use CC skills on the breakbar and which are the CC skills of your profession a lot more people will know what to do and do their job right when needed.
Since using CC skills is now one of the main pve combat features especially in Hot, a tutorial of some kind is a must have, like the dodge one.
Of course we will still have a lot of people not caring about it but that will save those more casual players that due to not enough time to learn the profession and skills are cutted out of the big encounters and get the blame from the others if the event or the achievement fails.

I hope this will happen in the future..

Cheers!

My only hope now is not SAB, not Cantha for Christmas but for this to be a preparation for the 1st of April where the new legendaries will be released, so that a lot of people will have to eat their hat.

I’m in too playing and enjoying the game for what it is right now, not perfect but still loving it.
I’m not worried about this fire about the missed promises and so on…seen that in other games that still run good if not better than before.
But contrary to EW I will be in your way for having free stuff!
Can I have your stuff guys?

Guys, I understand that you are all really upset…
I still think that what some of us fail to understand is that this is how game industry works… I explain myself… you should not buy a game because the devs promised to add more content after the release that will compensate what the game is lacking from the start, that is your fault, I’m sorry, but it is true. You can’t trust a company that far because kitten-ups happen and things change and maybe something that they really want to ship never comes to life because they can’t find a way to do it or they need too much time. It was their fault to make some of us continue to think that the ideas, that what was planned was definitive and that it was a promise, to never iterate on the issue saying that they are trying but they can’t be sure themselves to deliver, because that is how making a game works. There’s no magic wand that will make the game interesting and fun, it is a process of trying out, and some times you find that is much better to put something on hold instead of sacrificing the results. Would you prefer the Legendaries to come out half finished? Or broken? OMG anet is shipping half the work done again! That’s what you would read again on the forums.
That in my opinion is what MO is trying to do, he figured out that is not going in the right direction and instead of fake it and make people think that they are doing it, instead of shipping half backed content, he is telling us that they are placing the Legendaries on hold, it does not mean that they will never come, in the future I’m sure that they will return on them but for now they are focusing on something that have better chances to be delivered in a short time and in good state.
Still, even if things are not great recently, I look around and couldn’t find any MMO that keeps me engaged as Gw2, and I’m sure that this is the same for a ot of other people, and that is why we get so upset and feel betrayed but instead of leaving and migrate to another game we are still here complaining.

Expecting MO to say that the Hot release was a bad choice that it was a mess is not something that will ever happen! Just because, if he is still running the company it means he believes that even if things didn’t go as planned it is still a project worth the time. If MO says something like that, then you can be sure that GW2 has no future.

MO is trying to change things, obviously he is trying to do it for the better, not everyone agrees but none of us knows what is happening internally at Anet, what was the extension of the problem.
If things will be really better only time knows.
I will keep playing and if I finish every thing I like in this game, get too kittened off about some release or find something better, I will stop playing the game! If Anet doesn’t deliver any good content the next expansion isn’t worth that name I will not pay for anything else.

Totally support Mike O Brien in his decision, he is a legend in the field and I trust his ability to evaluate what’s best for the game.
I’m not saying that not releasing the new legendaries isn’t bad, but it is the less bad that could happen, also focusing on the LS is good for me since I don’t care about Legendaries…
To the people getting upset about this thing…just get over it, if you like the game just for the legendaries or you bought Hot only for the new legendaries it was totally your fault not of the devs, you are free to move to something else, why wasting your time complaining about something that will not change?
I think we got too spoiled with constant updates and new free stuff that we forgot how much they did for the game till now. We already had legendaries with the expansion, now we will have 1 free. The others were not meant to be included into Hot, it was planned but they changed their mind, and that’s fine because it’s their game, their idea and they are the ones working on it. It’s not like you can wake up go to George R. R. Martin or another writer and say that he has to write his books differently and that the date of the release of his books were wong or that he promised somthing and he can not change his mind, because it’s his creation, if you like it you read it! The last thing that I want is that the devs start to follow every direction from the players and go till the end on everything that is on the table just because they promised it, even if it is not ready and not worth to be released compared to the rest. That would end up in just a big mess.

I want the rock parer shissors back in gw2! Not for deciding stuff, just to hug random players!

Since scythe is taken from reaper on the trasform, then…if really not scythe then…hum.. Spear as a land weapon

Cyninja.2954:

While I like your ideas, that is not going to happen.

This has been brought up countless times with multiple different approaches.

Main gist is: racial skills are supposed to be inferior to regular skills as to not force racial selection. They are ment as mostly lore and cosmetic skills and have been toned down or altered if they were outperforming regular skills.

The best suggestion so far which I would love to see was to make racial skills available to each race via the hero point system. That would allow access to racial skills from other races and would allow arenanet to improve racial skills (while requiring people invest more hero points). Only problem with this idea now is Revenant since arenanet have not made racial skills avaiable to the class so far.

This idea would be awesome, I posted something about it some time ago. I think that now that they have the system they should use it.

Also about the Necromancer new spec I vote for the Soulmancer or Ritualist.
Just take inspiration from the ritualist of Gw1 Factions and give the Necromancer a cool tower mechanic, that would be awesome for me. Don’t tell me that it is the same as the Revenant because it is not, and a good support role for the Necromancer would be great.
Weapon: if we want to keep the current weapons then Focus in the main hand(double wielding focuses!!! YES!) if not I would like to see the ash urn, with some of the serpent like movements from the original Gw1.
And maybe bring back that way the tribal armor! It is sooo Ritualist like!!

EphemeralWallaby.7643:

To everyone who has any issues with what they got out of their HoT investment:

How many hours of entertainment does it require for y’all to feel you’ve got your money’s worth out of a MMO expansion? How many hours have y’all played HoT?

If the answer to the first question is realistic, and the answer to the second question is larger than the first question, I hate to break it to you but y’all got your money’s worth.

~EW

If that’s your point than no, if I think about what I was expecting for an expansion, I didn’t get my money’s worth.
Well actually is not just about hours spent anyway, because I can spend a lot of hours playing the same content over and over because that is what i got this time.
I really enjoyed it, I still do but, even if I can feel the potential of it it doesn’t feel enough.
As pointed out before, this expansion was not planned as an expansion, it was meant to be a series of updates but then they decided to change the release plan. That is for me the problem that makes me and other people feel like this was a DLC and not a full expansion, because as I said before, it could have been more an expansion if at least the living story 2 if not even the 1 were part of Hot instead of selling them separately.
I trust that they will do it properly this time.

Regina about the Tengu on the last guild chat "Brin5tar: @Dantert, I guess I’d say it sounds cool, but it’s really not up to me! ~Regina "

Regina supports the Tengu!

I know, kinda of a cheap shot but for a good purpose!
We love u Regina!!

I’m really worried about the marketing strategy took by Anet with Hot, but I came to the conclusion that that’s ok for Hot but I really wish they will not do the same with the Expac 2..
I know already from a devs’ post from some time ago that the next expansions will come at the price of $50 and include all the previous expansions and base game, that is ok for me, I don’t want to say that they don’t know what they are doing because that’s probably the best way for them, even though selling expac separately will give them much more money imo.
My problem is with the amount of content, yes it is the story that is going forward so you can’t actually play the expansions like the ones of Gw1 (except made for DLC EotN :P ), you have to play the first one then the second and so on, but I always fear that this option will always be an excuse for the expac to not feel like a real expansion but more like a big DLC.
The difference between expansion and a big DLC is thin, I know, for me is mainly about the amount of content that is available.
For me Hot didn’t have enough maps, new armors, new weapons, personal story missions and content in general to be called an expansion, it would have been more an expansion if for example Dry Top and SW and living story 2 were released in Hot.
Do not get me wrong anyway! I think I can count me in the group of people satisfied with Hot, but still I had to come to terms with my idea of an expansion and think that they made a lot of other work, the living story and so on to excuse the fact that we have just 4 maps a short story and a few new armors, thinking that this wil just happen one time, they are testing out and so on.
About the Hot story in the end I was thinking OMG this is amazing it is obviously not finish like this it is an obvious trap that will be followed by other 5 missions at least! And then it was over…. :C
NO! I don’t want this to repeat, I love Gw2 I don’t want to search for an excuse for the lack of content into a new expansion, an expansion like it was for gw1 is something that you look forward for a lot of time you dream about it XD, and then when it is finally out you get overwelmed with new places to explore new things to collect and dress your character with and most important thing, content! Content that will keep you engaged till the next expansion comes out….(ok maybe I’m a bit of an expansion addict )
So please Anet! I still trust you!

Any good tutorial about it? Books to study and so on?

The only real problem that I see with centaurs is the horse torso since the legs could work with the current leg armor

Major Domo.9250:

Wait for it, on April 1st they’ll add a bunch of updrafts in Core Tyria, including one juuust out of reach by the Wizard’s tower

Anet taking trolling to the next level

Hello everybody!
I saw that there is an app on overwolf for saving the builds but it seems it doesn’t work anymore with the new traits and so on http://store.overwolf.com/app/GW2-Build-Saver.
It seems though that it would be possible to create an external app that takes care of saving builds, so, I have to say that I don’t understand enough about programming but I am willing to learn how to do it to help in the development of this app, is there anyone who is interested in trying to create this app or help me out figuring out how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Dan.

I would say give the guardian a paragon elite spec and a kitten underwater spear to use on land!

So guys!?
It’s obvious isn’kitten They released it just to create hipe for a soon release of the Wizard Tower!
Also there’s a Storm Wizard into the Super Adventure Box! SAB Confirmed!!

Oh….can a man have dreams….?

I’m In for that but I want a a new race with the expac or the Dervish profession from gw2 to return

Panch.6718:

Hey Dantert,

Maybe The Messengers Quest is something for you? We’re a guild that is friendly and focused on the ‘’playing together’’ part of the game. Currently TMQ has around 40 members with a core group of 15 that are enjoying the game together which includes helping each-other out with leveling/playing and all the PvE content.

Below you find some information on the guild, love to hear from you!

Much regards,

Panch

Some Guild Information

The Messengers Quest is friendly Europe based social guild. We promote a fun, mature atmosphere that allows a good group of people to come together to enjoy Guild Wars 2 in all of it’s many aspects. We do have our own voice-comm server (via discord) and a website with forums to keep it touch with the [TMQ] community. W’re looking for a diverse group that can participate in: Dungeons, Exploration, Questing, PvP, helping each-other out and soon Raids.

[TMQ] welcomes all players be it starters or veterans, we are active in all areas of the game from PvP to dungeons, from dragon hunting to guild missions. The only thing we ask in return from our members is that they’re actively taking part and contributing in the guild instead of ‘’being just a name on the roster’’.

[TMQ] is different to many other guilds, we want to do more than just play together and kill things, although we do love killing things! We want to be more than just a guild; we want to create a community for all types of players, serious and casual. As a Europe based Guild, TMQ uses CET (GTM +1) for planning our events, dungeons, missions, etc., therefore the Guild’s Prime Time is around 19.00h CET – 01.00h CET.

2 Armors for my Derv…I mean necro….
And one for my Asuran Daredevil

I guess this is the right section to post this

Hello everybody!
I was always into a guild maybe hopping from a dead one to a new one but lately it’s been harder and harder to find a good guild that is friendly and not too pushy about having the greatest stats or following the meta builds 100%.
So I decided to post it here, maybe I’ll find enough people to hang out with in Tyria and have fun.
What I’m looking for is a friendly active (EU) guild mainly doing PvE content but dipping their feet into PvP and WvW(Seafahrer Rest) too, with no need to be ultra mega 100% meta to have fun.
Guild Hall is a plus, trying out Raids is also a plus, but I really don’t want to have people pushing me to have on the first day the best setting possible.
You know? Have fun and be helpful are the main traits that I’m looking for and that I’m willong to share.

You can send me a message here on the forum or add me ingame(attaching a message to that explaining the guild pros and cons would be great!)

Cheers!

I understand people saying that for them a new race isn’t the best choice but as for raids there are people that enjoy that kind of content, so deal with it.
To the devs I would ask to consider the option of a new race for the expansion, also to add volume to the content and make it feel like a true GW expansion. I really hope that the statement that Colin made for Hot that they thought adding a new race wasn’t the best choice to add content in this expansion will not be followed for the next one.
I am waiting since before the release of GW2 to play as a Tengu, hearing that it was dropped before the release was really a though one, I can’t stand all the teasing with the big wall and the big door in LA with the Tengu saying that they will soon decide whom they will fight against and who are their allies.
So please!
TENGU FOR THE EXPAC 2!!

Good for you man!
I’m still searching for a guild for my character to call home :\

My bet(Hope) is SAB for this 1st of April.

I keep seeing posts from people complaining about stuff that needs to be fixed and the importance about fixing the game first before releasing new content like the expac 2.
And they talk about it like it is something game breaking like if the game was a big mess…
I understand… I understand that people like complaining in the first place, I mean I find myself complaining about people complaining about stuff…
But anyway let’s try to take it seriously… what is the problem here? I really enjoy the game, I’m playing it from the release and still having fun. I’m not blind though! I see that there are many problems and a lot of stuff that people could not agree with but it’s nothing that completely blocks the progress… ok wvw is a mess, but they are working on it!
Also is nothing strange in the videogame world, always a bunch of problems, some will get forever ignored, but the game stays and maybe with time it will get better…but here on the forum I see more complaining than interesting stuff and constructive suggestions. Prople screaming loud that “the end is nigh!!” “if anet doesn’t realize this the game is doomed!!” …I mean c’mon, it always seems to me like “sempay notice me!!” or a bunch of children kicking harder and harder because they want the thing that bothers them in that moment to be fixed now. NOWWW!!!!

But maybe I’m wrong… someone please! Open my eyes!!
..I know I will probably get some hateful replies and some puncy lines just because is cool but yeah…. is there a way to revive the community in a better way?
I was enjoying the forums some time ago and it was not like the game was perfect at all…

I’m sorry about your situation.
I understand your point but I sill really enjoy gw2.
I try to avoid playing with random people especially if I’m in a period where I can’t play much because that results just in a lot of frustration, what I do instead is finding a guild that enjoys to do the content I’m looking for and is first of all friendly. It seems strange but there are some guilds like that, where they don’t mind too much about the meta and just play to have fun. Another thing that I tried was posting into the Lfg, looking for other people that want to play fractals for fun or dg and so on, you will find some if you are lucky, and they are the best! Maybe in the end you will not manage the first time to beat the raid but still is better than being kicked out and if you have experience you can share it
The point is that it’s not about the game, it’s about the community that is shaping more and more into a Meta monster.
Instead of being too negative maybe ask on the forum too if someone else is in your situation and wants to join you
Cheers!

Or maybe female Tengu should just have boobs and nice hips?

Please don’t do this. If female charr don’t have boobs, why the hell would something that isn’t even a mammal have them? I’m so sick of non-mammalian races in MMOs having boobs just to make them look “hot”. I really want Tengu but if the females look like this it will just ruin it for me. Besides, the differences between male and female Tengu are mentioned in the wiki. Here is a quote from the wiki: “The females of their species have plainer plumage and are typically larger than males.”

Don’t really have to elaborate on what you don’t want. I’m asking the opposite: elaborate on what you DO want.

I know what the wiki says but ‘plainer plumage’ can mean various things. How do you want to differ the females and males plumage?

Dantert.1803:

I would actually avoid a boob hips difference but go for something like the charr, in the end if you see charr far away the only thing that makes you understand that it is a male or a female are the horns and tail, there are bodies for male that are as slender as female and with all the armor pieces on top you can’t really see the difference. I trust in the ability of the devs to deliver the difference in more masculine or feminine head features and maybe shape of the tail/head plumage. I think it should not be restricted to color of the feathers because people would want to go creazy with that without choosing the sex to have a specific colour.

Well male Charr do have noticeably more musculature when viewed without armor. On a biological standpoint, I’d count that as being bulkier.

Back to Tengu, I’d agree that color shouldn’t be limited by sex but perhaps the size of plumage could be the difference? Having females have prominent head plumage and styles while males have the same but for tail plumage?

Male charr have the option to be bulkier but the main difference is the head.
Agree about the different plumage on the head and tail but I guess as I said before that the majour difference would be in the face features, the female, as an example, could lack the small fangs on the side of the beak or they could have fluffy plumage on the legs

Let’s just finish our current expansion first

I never understood this mentality from a consumer’s standpoint. We’re not the devs, we’re not wasting anyone’s time thinking about the future. Why end a potentially impactful discussion just because it’s looking ahead? We have nothing to finish. We’re the consumers, we have ideas and discussions about what we’re passionate for.

+1 for this reply!
Also I’ adding myself to the request for a new race, Tengu for me! (I already expressed my feelings about it in a previous post)

Also yes! Naval combat would be great, but I don’t lnow how it could be done, I can see it in the Dragon Steve expansion though

This is open for other requests

What I would like to have with the next expansion is:
-An expansion like nightfall or factions from gw1, with a bunch of new maps and progression from level 1 to 80.
-An interesting story line with lots of lore and a well done epic finale (Please do not rush the end!!)
And please make it long enough, at least like Nightfall or Factions, the HoT one felt too short and rushed even if I ejoyed it, I wanted more! XD
-Interesting new elite spec and maybe new weapons kind.
-A new playable race (you could disagree but goes well imo with the progression from 1 to 80)
-1 Character slot
-Small group contents from 2 to 5 , ‘cause we nearly have only fractals now and it’s not enough. Maybe small group adventures…
-A good number of new armor sets and weapons skins.
-Bring back more Gw1 lore, because people love it!
-I would like to have the nice game box like in the old days with game manual and so on.

Maybe I’ll add more in the next days.
Let’s hope that the devs will listen

To me those are just poor excuses… I want answers from the higher-ups!

I don’t think you can be sure about what you are stating there but anyway, let’s say that you are right… what changes? Some people, like me, still love the game and look forward to the future and some other hate it but I don’t know why, instead of leaving they prefer to rant on the forums like crazy…. if in the end the company closes, which I don’t think will happen, whatever, people will go to another game, but since it is still up what’s the point?
Are you bragging about how good your investigative skills are? Good job Batman!
If anyone after this post is thinking about leaving gw2 ….
Can I have your stuff?

I’m not sure if this one was mentioned already but, when a necro summons minions sometimes he says “Give my creation… Life” an easter egg from Frankenstein Junior

Totally agree!
I liked the AMA and also I think that overall the game is taking more shape.

Question for fans of the Tengu…or just anyone who feels like commenting I suppose:

Birds have various physical traits that differ with sex from plumage color and patterns to size although some have no visual difference in appearance (monomorphic). But consider Charr for a moment. Charr have obvious differences in appearance between males and females, namely size (males being slightly bulkier while females being more sleek in comparison), the style of horns and most notably the floof of their tails (ignoring specific apple loving outliers here).

So, what about Tengu? If made playable, should they have some dimorphism similar to some bird species? Or perhaps just differences made up in the minds of the devs (like under-arm plumage for one sex and not the other)? Or maybe female Tengu should just have boobs and nice hips? Or should Tengu male and female be identical except for perhaps voice?

I would actually avoid a boob hips difference but go for something like the charr, in the end if you see charr far away the only thing that makes you understand that it is a male or a female are the horns and tail, there are bodies for male that are as slender as female and with all the armor pieces on top you can’t really see the difference.
I trust in the ability of the devs to deliver the difference in more masculine or feminine head features and maybe shape of the tail/head plumage. I think it should not be restricted to color of the feathers because people would want to go creazy with that without choosing the sex to have a specific colour.

Out of curiousity, how many of you would make a tengu and actually put effort into the character, if they didn’t make a race change kit?

I would buy a new slot or delete a character for sure since I have all the professions and some of them are of the same race, that means same starting zone.
