Dwarves!!!

What if GW had a playable dwavern race. For some reason, I like dwarves better than humans, even elves. Just imagine, your city is completly underground with plenty of space, shelter, and protection. I mean, how long do you think it takes for an army to break though doors that are made of stone and steel. Their the best, what do you think?

Wait for GW2. It's a bit late to suggest this stuff now.

It's still a suggesion

*SPOILERS WARNING*


















In Gwen, the Dwarf infuses them self with the power of the great Dwarf and litaraly turn them selve into stone.
After defeating the Great destroyer and all of the destroyers, the dwarf numbers start too drop

*fast forward 200 years into guild wars 2*

There are only a handfull of them, living in solitude, in far back caves out of reach of civilization. They have become legend and are almost instinct.


So, basicly...no

They're instict?

Wait for GW2 for races

They're supposed to be close to extinct in 500 years time.

I suppose there'd be a select few who'll help you.

Possibly a Dwarven hero/companion for people who've got Ogden in their HoM?

Just like in the Elder Scrolls, they're gonna be all if not mostly gone.

GW2 atricles have pretty much stated that there will not be dwarves, as they all got real hard headed.

~the rat~

*Dwarves get their rocks off*

To be fair it really wouldnt fit in ^^ I mean the classes are splint up into Warrior/Ranger/Monk etc etc. Its not like some games that splits up not only into professions but also races such as Elder Scrolls. So it would look out of place if you had a Dwarf in there.

Thats true, but not everything that they say for now is confirmed. So no one truly knows whats gonna be on the game...yet. Like I said, its just a suggetion.

dont write such shit, thats absolutely not true and sell it as "spoilers"
only because Anet made a hand full of dwarfs to stone in the story of EotN, doesnt mean, that this race will never be playable..

NOT all Dwarfs are now stoned *g*, or do you think, that those dwarfs in there story there are ALL dwarfs of the dwarfen population in GW ? lol
When all dwards should be non playable, because all got stoned, then should also be our ogden stone ..the stone summit should be stone ect. pp.

GW gives us with GW2 now Pseudo-Elves in form of the Sylvari..why should Dwarfs be unplayable ?
Dwarfs are the most traditionally playable race from all, they are inteded to be playable imo...
When Anet has a problem with the tradition, only because of some whiners, which cry permanently then....GW = WoW or Gw = LotRO, then thats the only reason ,why GW2 will have no dwarfs playable, because of all the selfish whiners, which dislike dwarfs and want not to see them playable in GW2, because they fear, GW2 will be like X *insert now WoW here u whiner)

But its also anets ridiculous intention to try to be whatever must be done unique..when Anet wanted to be unque from the start on, then there would exist from the start on absolutely no traditioninal creatures in the GW university...then there would bbe no dwarfs and no centaurs in GW at all, when Anet would **** on the traditions

Why I say now, that all these WoW-Whiners are selfish? because they totally ignore, that there might be people out there, which love these traditions and want to see them too playable in GW2 or in generell in GW. People, which don't care for things, which make the game more universal, more individual for each different taste the players have in kind of choosign, what race you want to play...only because such people hate so much WoW and think, WoW is the mother of all MMORPG's >.>

then I have here real bad spoilers for all those whiners, which still don#t want to believe it maybe:

GW2 will be ALOT more like WoW, if you want believe it or not
with the exeption, that it will have no monthly fee...

HURRAH >.<


Dwarfs would fit to the game, whats that please for a bullshit u said there Wakka...when you say this, then you can say also direct, that the story and GW at all doesnät fit together, because Dwarfs were part of the story.
EoTN was then in your opinion sure the biggest story crap, only because the story was about Dwarfs >.> eh? am i right ?

I think, the Add on has shwon absolutely everyone, who isnt either braindead or blind, or even both, that races won#t be splittet into classes in GW2 ...

All races can be played as all classes ..so simple is that, or will somebody tell me, that people here are so extreme blind and haven't seen ingame Warrior Asuras for example ?
GET THAT THROUGH YOUR MIND, BEFORE YOU WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT - Warrior Asuras in EoTN

and that, where Anet calls this races as a magician race, where all those WoW-Whiners direct think only - that asuras in GW2 will be surely played only as mage class and that the races will have surely such racial benefits, which will empower this, so that players will run only only as Asura-Eles, only as Norn-Warriors ect ...

when I read such bullshit, it makes me sick and believe, that people really don't think about, what a crap they write - no that they write only, what they fear, that GW2 will become, because they know such scenarios from much older bad concepted MMORPG's.

i want dwarves to be in gw2, i find them to be the best race in tolkien history, which really sparked up all these games with elves and goblins in them

Pretty sure the playable races we are initially going to get in GW2 are:

Norn
Sylvari
Asura
Charr
Human

That seems to be what all the press on the game indicates. They may add more playable races later in an expansion though...who knows...

maybe you shouldn't skip the cinematics in gw:en

second half of post: if you don't like it, don't buy it

While dwarves are a zillion times as cool as elves because they talk funny and drink a lot.
Screw them!
I want scallies!!!!!
All the races Anet said to add to GW2 are mammals, I want reptile races

Well, I think it was all because of Ogden.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT! I THINK IT MAKES ALOT OF SENSE.

Phoenix, I got my information the same place we got the information for the dragon of orr, the fact that were will be no Cantha because of emprore Usoku. The fact that Elona will be over by Palawa Joko a few years after our hero die. That Lion Arch will be flooded. That the Sylvary will learn for the teaching of Ventari.

Want me to continue, we do know some of the thing that will append in GW2, and I can tell you that playable Dwarve will not be one of them. The Dwarve that go have not gone through the Rituel, they do it later. Just has Ogden Say, even if this is not the time for the Human, the Charr or any other race, it is the end for Dwarve, in Victory or death.

But it is quite possible that Dwarve will be NPC, actualy I can see it that we meet Ogden, or killroy or any other major Dwarve in GW2 and they tell the story to the descendent of our character.

One last time: DWARVE WILL NOT BE A PLAYABLE RACE

Phoenix, you might want to go and find a copy of the PC Gamer GW2 special edition before you call that shit. There's pages and pages of lore in there about what happens between the end of GW:EN and GW2, and yes it does state specifically that the Dwarves are pretty much gone from the world, save for a very few. They will not be a playable race, Anet has already stated what the playable races will be - Norn, Asura, Human, Charr & Sylvari.

Whether that changes in the future who knows, but five races and a minimum of 6 core professions is going to be more than enough work for them as it is.

Ok, fine. Das cool, das cool, easy. you've proven your point. But you STILL dont know...well ok, whatever, is still not fare!! IS BULLSHIT!

*Cries*

We already have Asuras to play as small things, and Norn as fat things.

Who needs Dwarves?

Because it's a combination of BOTH!!!

where did i know, that at least 1 will start again about Tolkien >.>

god..people..let tolkien be tolkien ..THIS IS GUILD WARS and having playable Dwarfs in GW makes Guild Wars not to Tolkien >.>

tolkien is not the origin of all things >.<

What wil happen then next ? will Anet kill next the whole centaur populaton from tha game world, only to avoid the opinions of tolkien whiners, hwich might pinpoint their fingers on GW saying

"uh, this is only a tolikien clone, because they have playable centaurs" ...

god wtf cares about those opinions ... I as player want have in GW2 good RPG flair and that you can reach only imo with a game full of different playable races with all their different cultures ...

dwarfs and all the other traditional races, which got only a hype cause of LotR were also before tolkien made LotR a well known race....it was not tolkien, who has invented the dwarfs new LotR >.<
Whoever thinks that, has no clues... people should stop to compare ever with tolkien ... thats the same stupid comparement, as people are ever brainlessly comparing GW ever first with WoW >.> as if WoW would be the origin of all MMORPG's OMFG!!!

Nothing says about Anet wanting to be "unique" ...but why should uniqueness forbid players to play their beloved traditional races ? I see no sense in that really...
if anet's intertion would be really to be in all kinds of things of GW to be "unique"..then would have never existed in the GW world from the start on NO DWARFS and NO CENTAURS.... because only then would have Anet created a game world, which is totally free of any traditions and from all the extreme annoying people, which have ever to make their dumb compares with tolkien and WoW ....sigh. Only then would be GW really "unique" ..

but wait..ya this would ya end up then in a total catastrophe, because dwarfs and centaurs are a huge part of the story of Guild Wars...what would happen, if we erase now them totally from the start on out of the game ?

bingo...the only solution would be then to replace them with other races. it would end up only then in a weird scenario.
When you know, that you as player have had done Quest X before with a Centaur NPC at your side...and after Update Y it ends up then, that the NPC got changed into a for example ...Sylvari NPC ... or whatever else uhm..don#t you as player become not then in the first moment a bit irritated, when from moment x to y the npc's get changed ?
I would find this in the first moment a bit irritating...but..

...this would be imo the only way with which I could make friends.
A GW2, which races, regardless if now NPC or playable would be all only GW own races with GW own names, design, culture ect.

This thread needs closure.
