ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Racial Backgrounds

I'm going to assume that they definately will do exactly what you said anyway. What I don't understand is, why would EVERY SINGLE NON-NATIVE CHARACTER happen to have children in Tyria rather than their homeland. Infinate Spear Bag 21:49, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd prefer to start in Cantha, but I assume that won't be possible or plausible. 145.94.74.23 14:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Well to answer Spear Bags question, if they took part in GW:EN then they could have been stranded in Tyria when things started getting crappy in Elona and Cantha. Or its possible that their decendants immigrated to Tyria at a later date. It doesn't really matter how. And to the original suggestion its self, I kinda assumed that this would be the case anyway. It'd be stupid of Anet not to have Elonan and Canthan (as well as Krytan) facial features.--Will Greyhawk 12:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't fully agree with this. You shouldn't think that there are only people on Earth that look like Asians or Africans. It's egoistic that you only want to make this change so it suits you, even if you didn't notice that it is egoistic. Also, it's not sure that Tyrians, Elonians or Canthians will be added to GW2. If they will make this suggestion come true (which I think will happen), they should make styles suitable for all types of humans such as Asian, African and European. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Hyk (talk).

First off, GW2 is taking place in Tyria, which means there probably will be Tyrians (whom I might add aren't all white, remember the Krytans?). Secondly, what are you disagreeing with? The original suggestion? One of the comments? The statement about being egotistical and all doesn't make any sense. I anticipate that all of the ethnicities in the Guild Wars world (not Earth) can be used to make a human character. But don't forget that there will be four other races to make a character from, two of which don't look even loosely human.--Will Greyhawk 15:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
