Guild Wars 2

I think many of us wants to see some sort of ram inspired horns in the future, including myself. Creating those pose a great challenge to teh team though I think….

Make them too low and they will clip with shoulder armour…
Make them too close to the neck and they will clip with hair, neck and head gear…

Thaye have to go somewhat up and out to “work” without clipping stuff I think. And to do curled horns that both look good and works with armour pose a great challenge I think…. I gave it a very quick try…. Hree comes another very rough sketch.

Bathos and Nimmi! Awsome pictures and cool ideas!

If u have something to complain about – dont do it here! I want this to be a thread where we can actually tell what A-net do well! First of all they give us a fantastic game! We get FREE updates/new content every month! Alway something to look forward to!

They have communication with us! That means that they listen to us (I know some of u’ll think “hell no” now). They do even if some of u dont think it seems that way – thats why this very forum exists!

They fix things! Bugs, bots, missbehaving events, clipping armour, balancing, missbehaving people, and so on…. There is constanstantly being something fixed in their “workshop”….. Some changes are small some bigger. This game is HUGE and contains a rididcoulus large amount of programming, so that’s why some changes takes time… And with so much content there must be some priority for what has to be done first and what can wait…

The Graphics are amaizing! Look at u’r character, the world, day and night shifing, the light, the textures….. Just imagine the ammount of work behind all that!

This game is actually a piece of art – that we are allowed to play with! That’s how I see it!

Thanks A-net for this fantastic game! I very much apriciate all the work u do for my gaming experience!

Agree! Especially Griffons would be awsome! As they are kind of large animals it would be enough with having them the same size as Razorwings offspring… They are somewhat smaller but not as small as the birds that we have now….

Our Guild even have the name Griffon Tribe… And the leader has a stuffed griffon so far… as she has not yet managed to tame a real one.

And – if I’m not totally wrong Griffons (intelligent and magical beasta as they are) are known to fight dragons in different sorts of lore…

More Playing with horns…. another rough sketch… Inspired from Water Buffalo and Piercings… There’s nothing special about the face actually on this one…

OMG! Charr medusa is probably what u’ll think now….

Here is another rough sketch of mine…

Now I have been playing around with the horns/antlers quite a bit… I actyally got the inspiration for the antlers from a plant…. The face is somewhat shorter with influence from a Cougar… I have also got inspiration from Fauns (ears) and elves…. The horns are supposed to be symetrical (even if I have had some problems making them look so).

Imagine this Female Charr as a Spellcaster, Guardian or Ranger….
Feel free to use my pictures btw… Change them, get inspired,… improve them…. put color onto them…

Insporation for horns:…. Goat, Gazelle, Antilop, Ram, Deer, Stag….

Inspiration for fur:… pretty much any animal/being that has fur! There are even curly and hairless cats… where u can have cool skin patterns instead! Flame legion are hairless – did ALL harless Charr choose flamelegion or did they shaved them to fit in the tribe?

Inspiration for face:… Fauns, Navi in Avatar, Deer, all sorts of cat breeds wild and tame!

Inspiration for mane/hair: U’r imagination together with all hairstyles on human and horse manes u can possibly think of! Look for styles on trilbal ppl and Indians!

Inspiration for teeth: Anything that has teeth/fangs! Both real and fairytale creatures!

I’ll soon come up with a new face…. A charr that lives in harmony with mother nature….

Cool sketch! I like the ibex inspired horns idea!

Nice work! It’s fun to see other players work and get even more inspiration and ideas from it! I notice U’r sketches, Weindrasi, are also made in black and white wich is good I think! It gives the viewer the oppurtunity to see the picture in the colors he/she prefers in their head… It gives room for some in mind character creation.

I aslo believe its a good way for us players to share our designs ideas with A-nets Charr Design Team and perhaps give them some inspiration apart from what they already have….

Free u’r inspiration! Send in more faces!

I challenge YOU to draw a unique charr face that is still not in the game! Post it here and tell a little bit about it!

Here is my contribution! A female Charr face! I have picked my inspirations from a lot of sources actually to create this…. Avatar (the wide eyes and the nose), Fauns (the wide forhead), Siames cats (the almost non existing stop), Sabertooth tigers (the teeth), Deer, (the ears and horns), Predator (the wiskars, hair, horns and jewelery), dogs (the lip)…. I think that was all of where I got my inspiration from. Note – there is NO inspiration picked from cows!

When u meet this Charr I want one to think “Is this creature good or evil?”. The look of it will signal independency and power yet grace….

I Have now added a very simple side view sketch as well. In a while I’ might add one from the front as well. The angle of the horns is tricky to get right, seen from an angle, when they point up and sideways ath the same time… If u have seen another post I have on the thread; “Deer Inspired horns”… thats the angle idea of the horns on this one… But the ones in this sketch have a polished surface and sharper ends.

Many of the feemale charr also have a very flat face today (wich I dont like), seen from the side… There are only a few that dont have that. This one doesn’t and the straws under the jaw helps creating more volume and shape to it.

Plz say what you think and even better – challenge me!
And – dont forget to VOTE FOR THINGS U LIKE!!!!

Is it just me or is there 2 commands in the pet AI wich is almost the same. Well I use them as the same anyway. Call back and the heel command. The only difference I see between heel and the call back is that the call back makes the pet return FAST and that the pet STAYS near u with the heel command. The fast return could be used in the heel command as well, and the call back could be replaced with something more useful – like a second skill or something. It could be an attack or a “loot” command that sends u’r pet away to pick up the loot fron recently killed enemies.
I use those 2 commands as if they were the same…

Since axes are throwing weapons mostley; Wouldnit it be cool to have weapon skins that also made it possible to have a BOOMERANG and CHAKRAMS working the same way as an axe!

What do u think?

When using rapid fire: The ranger continues shooting even if the enemy is dead…. annoying and takes time that makes u vulnerable to other attacks while standing shooting at nothing. U have to waist a dodge to break this.

When using rapid fire: Sometimes the the ranger ends up in a neverending shooting loop. It doesnt actually attack anything but continue to do the motion endlessly… To break this u have to type an emote. Dodge or jump doesnt break this. I usually /bow to break this…

Please fix this!

Griffon!
Dolphin!

I LIKE the new dalies and how it works – gives more variation and less grinding to it. It also enhnces the meaning of teamwork and learning how different parts of the game works. The laurel system and the rewards u can buy from them is great!

The dungeon changes are also good… In the very way u intended it to be!

(I’m a ranger) I must say the little change in how drakes attacks made a great difference – first time ever I see my drake make a tail swipe:)

In fact there are many good things u have done to this patch! Then it is natural to have different tast about things and the way one would like them. But if u, as me, apriciate the Anet’s teams efforts to improve this game please let them know! They deserve it as the have actually improoved the game!

Thank u for all work u put in do make this a living, evolving world to continue explore!

I don’t like this idea at all as my PET companion is what makes the ranger unique!

Dera fellow rangers. The latest updats for the ranger was NOT the “big ranger update”, it was simply a generel patch update. So, please show our awsome A-Net team, who is currently sitting there – working on our favourite class – some respect and patience, and stop your endless wining!!!

Thanks A-Net for a great game!

Griffons!!
Dolphins!!

Great! Thank You! I love my ranger and I will most likely do so even more after a few improvements!
