Tengu will be your next playable race

/thread

[Teagan]

That'd be sad. I don't like birds. And tengu strike me as an ignorant people.
Dwarfs would be great. Don't see that happening though.

[Mitobunny]

Don't be too surprised to see enemies becoming allies. All 5 races have an enemy opposition, a new race would most likely be the positive to the negative.

[Dark]

Kodan
Frogmen
Tengu

YES!

[Lyrabel]

Kodan would be cute. :3

[Draycon]

Can't see Kodan becoming playable, not enough customization.

[Avish]

Tengu, elonian centaurs

[Dawn Quickblade]

Can't see Kodan being an option, too anti other races and we've already gotten a blog stating them as a minor race. I see Tengu and Largos (Yes we don't know a lot about them but isn't that kind of the appeal of their race, we have plenty of time to learn about them) As for a third playable or even more, who knows?

[geulsae]

Quaggan likes you.

[Kid]

Yes, yes. Kodan lacks customization. I remember people said the same thing to Charr back in the GW. Look at what ANET did to them.

Really, any new races are welcome addition so long as they fit the criteria stated earlier by other guys/gals in this thread. It is not like they are going to break the game balance or anything.

[Fenice_86]

Largos, Tengu, Skritt and Kodan!

(if i had to choose an "enemy race" i would love to play Kraits or Margonites!)

[Thorfinnr]

The inclusion of a new playable race would need to make sense...if we see the opening of the Domain of Winds...and then contact back with Cantha...Tengu make sense.

When they open more northern areas, Kodan would make sense.(And I am most eager to be able to play the Kodan...major race or not...the culture has so much possibility. I mean really...check my avatar...)

When we re-etablish contact with Elona...Centaur or Hylek make sense.

Largos would be cool...and give the loremasters a wide open path to new lore with many new avenues for story. SInce we have seen them in water/swamp areas...perhaps they will become playable when we get to take on "Bubbles" (Unnamed Deep Sea Dragon).

Just adding my thoughts...

Margonites are extinct already thanks to our GW1 characters, the Forgotten, and god-Kormir.

Regarding krait..they are totally religious fanatics and even if they would overthrow the ruling priests, I doubt they would be trusted by basicly anyone who lives near water. (they are one of the biggest enemies of the Quaggan for example, but humans and asura arent that friendly with them either)

Skritt could work, but only if you get a dozen or so at the same time as a single character (so their intelligence level makes sense) a bit like Overlord's minions.

[Silvaleaf]

well, some skritt can act as a single unit. We do see this with npcs, they're just incredibly stupid and weak......so....racial bonus = stats increase near other skritt? I can't see them becoming a playable race, or any of the other 'minor' races we come across in the story. (sorry quaggan! we love you!)

Centaurs are possible, there are rebel centaurs shown as npc's who disagreed with the guys in charge and had the choice of death or banishment. So there's an in for centaurs, as well as friendly centaurs from elona. There's also a centaur 'ambassador' in kessex (sexy) hills at one of the outposts as an npc if I remember correctly. Different centaurs factions?

Tengu I believe are VERY likely, as are Largo, to become a playable race. That being said, they could do with enhancing the aesthetics (armor, armor clipping, town clothes) of the current races before adding any news ones. After all, the charr are ANet's baby.

[Craywulf]

Tengu are pretty much guaranteed to be playable. All the evidence is there except for being outright confirmed by ArenaNet. It's just a question of when will the Dominion of Winds expansion be available. We already got a clue that it's coming this year (duh). I'm predicting August 28, 2013. Yep, one year after the release of GW2.

Kodan will never happen as a playable race because unlike the Charr the Kodan have no variation in terms of fur patterns. It's just white, white and more white. The only thing that would be distinctive is faces and body size.

I personally would like to see the Hylek or/and the Naga as the next race. These two races have such drastically different body styles. I know Armors would be difficult but I do think there's a way to work this out. I think adding a reptile/amphibian playable race would help give the game more diversity. Also balance the soft and furry race choices with more scale-y offerings.

[Arquenya]

Elves and dwarves, of course

So.... they'd be a perfect portrait of a common player!

I'm guessing that Tengu and Kodan are the obvious choices for upcoming races if they ever decide to bring new playable races into the game.

[Arquenya]

Risen as playable race!

[BuddhaKeks]

Palawa Joko's undead. I know they aren't terribly likely, but heck, I want to play one. Most people want to fight Joko but I want to serve him. ...Okay that came out wrong...

I would be quite happy to never see another risen in-game for the rest of my playtime, haha.

Tengu are almost a definite with a canthan expansion, since there aren't really any other races of that area. are there?
Kodan....a possiblity, but ANet did call them a minor race.....still. They could change their minds.
Elona expansion....I hope it'd be centaurs....I can't really imagine playing a hylek, they're too much an enemy and besides, they're available as a minor race for racial sympathy?
Largos are just plain awesome. I'd definitely agree with them being a race to aid in taking on bubbles. Plus the dynamics of their culture are intriguing!

;D

[Sirius]

There may not be any known non-human races in Cantha - not even tengu actually - after the regime started evicting them all a couple hundred years ago. Previously there were quite a few, naga and wardens being the ones you hear about most but dredge actually made an appearance as well.

Of course, since contact was lost back when Zhaitan came on the scene, a lot could have changed since.

[Thaddeuz]

I predict something like that for future patch. Not in order.

- Elder Dragon : Kralkatorrik, New Region : Crystal Desert, New Playable Race : Undead (Zhaitan's Risen are enemies, but Palawa Joko created a Undead civilization, making them a Neutral race.)

- Elder Dragon : Primordius, New Region : Ancient Dwarfland, New Playable Race : Dwarf?, Skritt? i really don't know for that one.

- Elder Dragon : Jormag, New Region : Far Shiverpeaks, New Playable Race : Kodan

- Elder Dragon : Mordremoth, New Region: Maguuma Jungle, New Playable Race : ?

- Elder Dragon : Deep Sea Dragon, New Region : Ring of Fire?, New Playable Race : Quaggan? Largos?

I don't know how to fit the Tengu in all that, but they probably by a future Playable race.
