Hmm, so it seems we're going to get an Asura (Asurian? Sounds like El-Aurian.) hero and a Norn hero in Eye of the North. I suspect there will also be a Charr hero, it's only logical.
But what about these mysterious Sylvari? Will there be a Sylvarian hero joining our adventuring parties? I'm most likely not the only one who wants to know. Yes? No? Maybe? Quite Possibly?

If I get an Asurian hero, I don't care if he can fly, he's going to quickly find his ugly frog/monkey-thing face slammed into a concrete wall until his skull busts, then thrown into the nearest river to be washed out to sea and the hungry sharks that reside there. Hideous little freaks.
I look forward to my Charr hero.

Yeesh... and here I thought the Charr were far uglier than the Asura. Doesn't make me hate them, though.

Personally, i'd like to have a Mursaat Hero.
Wouldn't you?

According to the magazine articles, Sylvari don't "appear in the world" until a few years before the events in GW 2, so we probably won't be seeing them in GW:EotN yet.

Charr look like they'll put up a good fight. That's a good thing for a hero. Asura on the other hand, look like something you win at the carnival for throwing balls at a stack of tins. Not a quality I look for in my heroes.

I will use humans, because they win.
I do hope we aren't required to use certain hero races..

Charrs are cool! I hope there will be one charr hero...doesn't matter which profession (s)he'll be
By the way, what's now with that Sylvari? I thought they'll be in GW:EN like the Asura, Charr and Norn! But I even didn't find any pictures about it! So was it just a rumor or will be there really some?

I just want a Charr hero.

I imagine the new heros professions will be 1 of each type, so we have 2 of each type available and 3 on the more common classes (Nec, Mo, War, Ranger) Although i had heard the possibility of 15 new heros which personally i think would be better since then Anet could provide us with a nice round figure of 3 of each profession (which is the max u can use) but i guess 10 is better than none 
I wouldnt be suprised if most or all of the new heros were non human heroes

Both wiki sites are providing this link for concept art for Sylvari http://www.gamesradar.com/us/pc/game...27111030501040
And somewhere in all the interview/articles, it was mentioned that we would see the birth of the Sylvari race in GW:EN (as opposed to discovering an existing race). So I don't think they would be an available hero in the expansion.
But just a reminder, 10 new heroes equals 10 additional sets of insigna, runes and weapons. There goes my bank account again.

I just hope Asuras don't have a high squeaky voice... or some stupid accent. (Like Jar-Jar) Then I'd really hate them!
I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but wasn't Razah "born" towards the end of NF? A Sylvari could be born and recruited in a similar fashion.

ten bucks says Gwen is the new mesmer hero.
on another note, will this expansion mean non-nightfall accounts can use heroes?

I believe that I have read that the Hero mechanic will be extended to anybody with GW:EN - and not just those who have Nightfall + GW:EN.
I really want Gwen to be a Mesmer Hero. And I really want to pwn up some Charr. I'll use my Asura hero to do it, too, so long as I can rock those jerks who messed up my Ascalon.

Whenever I think of the Asura talking, I think of Nibbler and his race, and how they talked. Kind of a high American-English cross.
I don't mind the Asura too much, they look kind of wierd though. As long as they can fight, not just shin bash, and maybe a cool racial bonus (of course other races would have one aswell, including us humans). Yeah, nothing was really mentioned about the sylvari in the PCG preview. I think they are kind of like the druids or the wardens from Echovald.

I'm thinking
Charr = Ele or Warrior Hero
Asura = Necro,Monk or Ele Hero
Norn = Warrior Hero
Gwen = Mesmer Hero
Though i do hope the Sylvari remain mysterious.

I just re read the PC Gamer artical and I CAN NOT find anything about Asuras, Norn, Sylvaris or Charrs as heros in GWEN, all it say's is that we will encounter them as we play through there lands.
If anyone have a link to an artical or interviu stating other wise please post it.

My theory is that the Sylvari (Either just the first one, or the first few of their race) we'll see born (Created? Planted?) will deem your character(s) worthy of something, saving Tyria, saving them from evil, saving 15% or more on Xunlai insurance, whatever... and then one of them will agree to join you and the rest of your Hero friends on your journey.
(Oh yeah, kudos to whoever moved this thread into the right place for me. It was, after all, 4AM in the morning when I started it.)

...Did you even read the entire sentence? You cut off the end, I know that's what they've stated. What they haven't said is how exactly. Are they born like humans? Do they grow like plants, or do they just pop into existence from the Mists, like Razah? I'm not denying the statements of the Dev interviews.
I'm just saying that after they're created, however it's done, one of them may or may not choose to join you and your other Heroes. I'll use General Morgahn as an example. It took the destruction of the Sebelkeh Basilica and the deaths of his fellow followers there to get him to see the real Varesh and switch sides.
Something like that may occur with the creation of the Sylvari. You save them from something, or they see Tyria in its true light, and one decides to join you.

I hope that if Gwen is a hero, it requires all the old Gwen stuff I've been hoarding in my bank for all these years. I kinda hope it's been for a reason that I've clung onto all of it.

Charr will be either warrior or ele primary. They do have that cult of fire thing going on.
Silvary or however you spell it will be Rangers. Hello, they are trees. I'd love to have one, but I'm guessing they will be born out of whatever cataclism the gods have us fix.
It's always like, that, you see?
The gods screw up, and then make us fix it.
Take the Ghostly Hero. I hate him. He's a BLOODY GHOST. What's stopping him from uhm... ghosting his way and doing his bloody chores? Making me run all over the place like an errandboy. Gah.
Asuras look like they're made to be a squishy class. I will DIE LAUGHING if they are a melee class. Or if they are like, the size of a Charr xD
There are Charr NPC's in NF, so I'm guessing we will have some more in GWEN. What about Forgotten? I'd like to have one of them with me
