Guest 1: "I am a Necromancer classed character! I can raise the dead to dance to my macabre tune of....more death! I can inflict plagues, disease, poison, and curses upon my enemies! Watch me spill my own blood and sacrifice 17% of my own life force to give my allies the power to curse, burn, blow up, poison, shock, and freeze the meat off of the enemy, giving me more corpses to exploit! See my gothic barbed armor! Fear me!"
Guest 2: "I am a warrior, skilled with axes to cripple and dismember my enemies, hammers to bash their skulls in, and swords to gash them into bleeding to death! My shouts and stances can exploit the deaths of my teammates, and indeed drain power from my foes! I am a whirlwind, dealing death with both hands! My goal is to cripple, maim, poison, dismember, and bleed my foes unto death!"
Guest 3: "I am an Elementalist, and when I am not burning, shocking, freezing, or grinding the meat off of your bones, I am using glyphs of arcane power to make sure that I can better burn, shock, freeze, or grind the meat off of your bones! My favorite is to combine chaining effects for maximum damage, since my DPS is higher than any other class. Did I mention that I am good at burning, shocking, freezing, or grinding the meat off of your bones?"
Guest 4: "Hi, I am a cutesy big-eared lovable huggable guy who cares about the whole world! Yay! Can I be your friend?"
OK wise guy, reconcile that. The guy is just too darn cute for the burning, shocking, freezing, meat-grinding mayhem of Guild Wars. Yeah, and I didnt even touch the assassin as a class, cause that's too easy.
Get that rabbit out of here

But I personally think it should be in GW. ESP if the devs make "Decapitate" Decapitate the target.
That would make me lol.
Anyway, we realise most people think it's ugly, and we understand the rest of the people are deluded. (J/K) And the others, well, there just arn't any more.
It's current render just looks kinda cartoony for me. Even the seers looked realistic. I mean, if I didn't get out enough, and had something that said everything in this game was real, I would have believed it. This I would not. Needs to look more real.

Yeah, how dare Anet create something completely different. We want everything the same! The same! Everything must look badass not cuteass! All our armors and weapons must be black and shiny and 10 foot long! We're too manly to have cutesy stuff in the game because it threatens our manliness! We hunt not cuddle! RRAAAARGHH!!

For the love of all things holy if you won't stop releasing minis please CUSTOMIZE them! If for no reason other than the quote earlier about picking them up specifically to sell in game for 50-80k. We all know they will sell for some absurd amount at release don't even try to deny it. Essentially what you are saying is, its ok to buy a couple $5-$6 magazines use the keys to get a mini and sell it for ingame currency...whereas eBaying money is a no no. That seems sort of counter intuitive to the EULA to me as these are essentially the same thing with the addition of some sub par reading material...am I the only one who notices this?

Anyway, I found the source that I was looking for earlier, courtesy od google of course.
It's at http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=37986
Also, as seen in the article, I don't think that Eye of the North will be the last thing before GW2... why would an "expansion" (not a chapter) take so long as compared to a chapter? C4 will not be forgotten!

It's funny how some people can't ever, not once, accept that some people have different tastes and opinions than themselves, especially when such opposing opinions are even slightly touching upon not appreciating even the tiniest aspect of Guild Wars/ArenaNet.
And here's my attempt to put my aversion into words:
The Asura would look absolutely fabulous sitting on a shelf in my three-year-old's bedroom. It's cute and looks very well-designed. No question about that. It does not, however, fit my perception and expectations of Guild Wars, and I'm obviously not alone in that.
Disregarding the non-fantastical elements, animals and such, is there anything else in the game you'd put on a shelve in a toddler's bedroom? I can't think of anything, and there's plenty that I would most categorically not put on such a shelve.

The people that don't have a problem with it just express that they wouldn't mind owning one and leave it at that. Why can't the rest of you be civilized for once, express the fact that you don't like it and move on already?

Yeah, our minipets should never look like a toddler's toy!! The minipets should be fierce and deadly and shiny with lots of spikes all over it....and 10 feet tall! Why the F--- would I have a pet otherwise?!? I fear for the future of this game when a guy cant even have a manly minipet to cuddle...err hunt with!!

I swear I have seen these things before almost exactly. But I can't remeber where...
This is another close one:

I find the Asura rather nice. It's cute and scary at the same time.
I've read countless times from gwonline or here that people wanted different races. And low and behold, Anet shows something original as a race, but since it isn't a generic elf or dwarf, people whine.
Worst line is "Omg omg big arms, GW is turning into WoW, Anet betrayed me !"
Sometimes I wonder why Anet just don't say "f*ck this, they're like rotten kids, we make them nice sweeties, but they just spit on our faces."

Wow, I like it. For this reason.
I can't believe people are complaining that it is too 'different' for Guild Wars. I find it extremely exciting that things are going to be different, a fresh game would be ace.
I also find the creature gives me a sense that the fantasy level is to increase, and I like.

Yep. That's what it reminds me of.
If it's been said, I don't care, don't bother flaming me, I won't read it anyways.
People in this thread seem to be voicing their opinions quite aggressively. Ok, we get it, you have an opinion that you value, you don't have to argue with everything someone else says just to try to prove that your opinion is the correct one.
I'm all for new things in the game at this point. I'm not going to speculate like the rest of the people, I'll just wait until it's released to see what they do. No one ever said GW2 would be like the first GW games, there could be a huge change, and these guys might actually fit into it. Stop whining until it comes out, then whine all you want so we can ignore you even more.
Livingston
Just a note to keep players up to date:
No one from Anet has said that it will be a playable race or that there will even be a Guild Wars 2.
It's all from a stupid little net article designed specifically to insight the rampant debate that is currently happening within this thread.
They even admit up front that some of what they write is complete fiction.

There will almost never be a game that anyone finds percfect in every way.
I mean if you were to see an ugly person in the real world, would you want to stop living, just cause you dont want to see ugly people? you cant pick and choose what you want in your world.
just like if there is something ugly in the new guild wars, then just ignore it, saying one creature ruins the whole game is a very bold statment. some people are comparing it to jar jar, and I have to say, Episode one would still have sucked hard even with jar jar, but if it had been good, jar jar would have been a minor thing.
By the guild wars community count, this is about the 17th time guild wars is over cause of something people overreacted about

I have already mentioned this, and got flamed, and told to shut up.
Although I think customization would be a bit extreme, I'm against the advantage of selling it overpriced to someone who wont be able to get the minipet through the magazine.
Well remember the Minipigs, and those who bought them for 30~20k . Too much profit being made from vanity items, that don't really have any utility besides from showing off.

Come on all... it's just a pet, one that I personally find, yes, cute, and yes, I WILL buy the magazine & I WILL display it on outposts. If there is someone who doesn't want it, theeenn... don't buy the magazine. Pet issue solved. (btw, it looks like Stitch to me, more than Jar Jar :P :P)
And, with the races in the suposed GW2, well.. that's another story. There are too many unsolved misteries there to even consider the news to be true, except for the fact that ANet IS releasing something and they ain't telling exactly what.

Anyone think of the fact that this might just be the "peasant" variant of the Asura as a whole? Maybe the actual classes, or at least the warriors, are bigger and bulkier and overall more fierce. Maybe not. But whatever I'm going to wait and see on this one.
