i don't know if this has been discussed (outside of my group of friends/guild) but seriously.
why aren't Tengu's a playable race?
seriously, who wouldn't want to play them over asurans or norns. even the charr or sylvari...
Playable Races

They're pretty much basing the races on EoTN, it seems.
The Tengus are too insignificant :/

I'm sure they're saving the tengu for a Canthan expansion or something. They've also said before that the announced races aren't going to be the only ones.

they're races from eotn they're taking
tengu's are from factions
don't start about the caromi tengu now
they didn't play an important role in eotn

They aren't a playable race because they aren't. /shrug.
Wait for the inevitable Cantha expansion pack for GW2 for more playable races.

lets set aside the argument of whether Tengu's are relavent to Tyria or not. because they are.
Who wouldn't want to play a Tengu. Do you really want to wait 2 years after the first GW2 game before rolling (re-rolling) your tengu fighter?

I'd rather be a Sylvari cause I don't know anything about them.

1 up and 2 down
TBH I don't really care if they leave them out or put them in.

whats to stop them having unannouced races for gw2, or infact to add more with an expansion.
like all things associated with gw2, wait and see.

Hey, I voted at the time for Tengu and Centaurs as playable races, as well as either Naga or Forgotten (and of course Charr and Humans). I guess fancy armor for non-humans would have been a bit too tricky. And I'd love to see the Centaur versions of /dance
I thought it was pretty sad they came up with 3 new races instead of using some that were already on so many continents and had so much history in the game. And it would have been a lot easier to make them class-neutral.

I am pretty sure they will intorduce more races with expansions. I just hope they introduce these guys as a playable race.

I dont understand why we have a sudden flux in race threads. Is the whole idea of political correctness suddenly being drilled into peoples mindless heads?
Tengu probably do not fit into G2's agenda therefore will not be a race.
I could make a thread (for lack of a better word) "complaining" about why I cant be a Mergoyle and it would be no different.

They had comments before that there were going to be more races than the 5 announced, but the recent FAQ on the official site suggests that those 5 are the only ones. I hope not, I like others better (see above).

Having new races in expansions as a "buy me!" gimmick is far more appealing than new (imba) classes. Maybe there is hope for GW2 PvP.

How do you know tengu's don't fit into GW2 Tengu's span 2 continents and play a critical role in cantha.
kazi_saki
i don't wanna play as the thing that used to wipe my party in the early days of the game! damn u tengu! TENGUCIDE!
the mursaat would be a nice playable race though.
i hate tengu...

What I don't get, is why people think Tengu are from ONLY Cantha.
Caromi Tengu, Avicara Tengu, Quetzal Tengu.
I'd also like to tell you that there was Tengu concept arts for Nightfall.
A MAJORITY of the Tengu are in Tyria, and game wise, they are in 3/4 and were planned to be in the one they are not.
And they do deserve to be playable in GW2. I was and still am hoping to play as one.

I believe that the developers in the magazines said that all the races haven't been verified.
Humans, Slyvari, Charr, Norn, Dwarf, Asuran were the ones they named off. Tengu better be added. Mursaat too, mebbe?

Whilst one can indeed make an argument that Tengu are widespread enough to merit being a playable race in GW2 - I seriously doubt that there are that many people that want to play a race that looks like an oversized and diseased chicken. :/

I bet that characters will have 'Spiritual' bodies in PvP, so the racial differences would be nonexistant there, otherwise it would be illogical.
And for PvE, the logicall think to do would be to allow characters of each race to learn any primary profession, so you would only need to make one character of each race to be able to have all races and all characters, and if you want to try a Warrior, you could be able to try it with any race.
On top of that, the racial changes could be focused to properties of skills instead of gameplay styles, so Norn could be harder to interrupt, Asura could use less energy, Charr could have a bit more range, etc...

Tengu only serve as enemies in Prophecies. Factions actually gave them a bigger part. And from that part we learnt they do not take no sh*t when it comes to Humans treating them as a lower species. So putting the GW2 lore article on Cantha and the current Tengu attitude together its obvious Anet are setting up the way for an expansion with it adding the Tengu as a playable race instead of more broken professions.

I want to play as a dwarf.
Please Anet put unpetrified dwarves in GW2.

Tengu might be cool to play as long as they no longer run like a little kid pretending to be an airplane...GIVE IT UP ALREADY! Your wings are too small, live with it...sheesh.
As for a wish on playable races...Mursaat and Jade Armors, not so much. I'd prefer the Forgotten...ssssssssssss.
pamelf
I think they'll add them in an expansion. Probably just not putting all their eggs in one basket.
Alex the Great
Tengus would be sweet, if only for the fact that i can pretend to eviserate you with claws.
seriously, i would rather fight a charr than a tangu, those beaks are scary.

Maybe gw2 will introduce extra playable races in sequel games instead of classes.
There were always problems with adding new classes then balancing and rebalancing skills.
With Factions creating 2 new classes and adding skills to the original 6 classes then NF having to repeat the excercise but for 8 classes.
New races with small alterations to the skill system might be a way to add variety without the bad effect a couple of new classes had.
Of have the powers that be already commented on new classes being added to gw2 over time ?

Personally, I have no particular desire to play as a Tengu. Yes, I would much rather play as an Asura or Sylvari (Norn and Charr..... not so much), but I'll probably just stick with humans.
