Guild Wars 2

The fact that the norns have a higher strength than charrs is determined by the lore, it’s true. But here the issue is not the strength or weightlifting, but a power ratio in a 1vs1 battle. And in terms of power, norns and charrs are roughly equal if both are the same size (a large norn male > a small charr female) . Because if you take a big norn hero, you need to have a big charr of high rank as opponent , otherwise the argument has no value.

The argument of the difference in size / strength between the norn of gw1 and gw2 is false. Charrs have always been bigger in size, but appear smaller because they are inclined.
Charrs and Norns have always had a power almost equal. But in war, charrs are far superior

Technology

Yeah, technology that exists only in a few spots, an anachronism in a fantasy world. Where are their roads? Where’s their infrastructure? Where’s all this industry outside of the Black Citadel? Where, pray tell, is all of this technology? Where, outside of the Black Citadel, are the cars? Where are the trains? Where’s anything that even hints at the charr being advanced. In only a few spots do we even see any hints that they’ve come beyond their tribal stage seen in Guild Wars 1.

The representation of charr technology in the world is a joke. Example? Here’s a piece of concept art by their lead concept artist, Daniel Dociu. That looks amazing! That suggests that the charr will have helicopters, but we only see one of them in a prototype stage before the end of the game. And the in-game model for it is atrocious. It’s just bad art, it’s grotesque in really unappealing ways, it’s like someone really wanted to demean the charr as a species as much as they could.

Why don’t people play charr, ArenaNet? Look to your own art, design, and writing for the answer.

So, yes, the ‘technology’ is a joke. I’d rather the race not be technological at all, rather than being a kitten -take of technological advancement. It’s worse than the Goblins in WoW, and I never thought I’d ever have to say that about anything. Nothing should be worse than WoW.

So yes, it’s just bad art, through and through. I’m sick of seeing people being apologists about this. If we’re mindless sycophants, witless yes-men, and we just bend over to take it up the rear without ever raising a complaint, then ArenaNet will never bother fixing anything. So I’m going to continue complaining and advertising Everquest Next as an alternative.

They could fix things. That’s up to them. But as it is now I’m appalled by the state of the charr. People should have more self-respect. If this is a product you paid for with the intent of playing a charr, you should feel disgusted, that’s your right, as it is mine.

I think you doesn’t understand than the helicopters in Orr are Charr’s helicopters .
All the Pact’s zeppelin are Charr’s technology , and what are you doing from all the tanks in Black Citadel ?
Except Orr the charrs do not need to use their technology because they are not at war. Moreover during the PS there are several missions where the Charr’s technology is present .
