Who are you going to play as in GW2?
-Relics-
Like the topic says, who will you be playing as in Guild Wars 2 with the new playable races. In case you do not know here is the current list of playable races in Guild Wars 2 (along with a short description):
Asura - The asura, who once ruled the caves and tunnels below Tyria, are an advanced race of small stature and large intellect. Having emerged from the depths, the asura aim to rule the surface world with their powerful golems and razor-sharp wit.
Charr - The conquerors of Ascalon, the charr are ferocious, warmongering creatures—the intractable foes of humanity. Now, as greater dangers threaten their conquests, the charr legions marshal their war machines to meet their enemies with deadly force.
Human - The regular citizens of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona
Norn - The norn are half-giant brawlers from the frigid northern lands who can shapeshift into mighty bestial forms. They've been driven from their homeland by a force beyond reckon, and now regroup among the lost dwarven ruins of the Shiverpeaks.
Sylvari - Not much is known of the sylvari, save that they are a race of sentient plant-beings, newly blossomed into the world. They are the youngest of the races, and are bound together by a common dream.
Personally I would be an Asura since there is nothing more humiliating than be pwned by a cute creature half your size.
My second choice would be the Sylvari since they seem like they would be powerful healers and Earth Magic users.....
So, what would you want to play as?

Human because I'm boring
afya

Tengu, I'll be deeply dissapointed if this race isn't playable
but otherwise human or maybe sylvari, none of the others interest me; norn are rather 'meh' to me, likewise with the charr, and I find the asura to be rather ugly/creepy and they annoyed me to no end in eotn

I don't know until I see what they look like in game.
But, more than likely human for my mains. Then, I'll select other races for the fun of it.

Does anyone know when they will be posting some of the new professions that they created? They said that they will be re-doing some to fit races better and to add more flavor to the game.

That like most other info on GW2 is simply not available, ever since that turning of the world or w/e article we've had zero new info so your guess is as good as mine as to when and what we'll be hearing from them.
Bryant Again
Charr warrior/tank archtype, hopefully.
-Relics-
hmm, on their site they say they are in the Alpha stage of testing (which has stated that for a while) so I can only guess that they will soon be ready to launch into beta stage... So they must be ready to post the new info soon....
Lyynyyrd
Gw2 is vaporware game's fake not happening etc etc
i'm going to play the loldoesn'texist race.

Daenara
Whatever has the prettiest armor tbh.
matsif
I'll probably try out every race to see what I like/dislike, but just guessing for now I'll have a norn warrior, charr something, asura for casters, maybe a sylvari for ranger or something (they seem more like a spawn from melandru to me from the concepts)
honestly, atm I'm not even sure if I'm going to pick up GW2. if a beta ever gets released and pending if I get in, thats when I'll get my answers.

I want to be a non hairy norn. Transform into a giant bear (perhaps be able to transform into a werewolf type monster too? sorry I love wolves lol). I hope we get to summon the aid of some animals or something similar to druid in d2.

-------> norn <-------
The Air Revenger
since im in love with pre i would chose charr
since im being a charr either warrior or ranger would be great

lilraceangel3
first char will prolly be human ele or monk, then a charr char warr or ranger i think, norn necro would be badass looking.

Whatever I can make have the most tattoos.
xPIMPx
Atm i would choose either asura human or sylvari. Though when gw 2 comes out EVERYHING COULD CHANGE AND MY OPINION NOW WILL NO LONGER BE THE SAME AS IT WILL BE WHEN I AM CREATING MY FIRST CHARACTER
-Relics-
Can anyone imagine a warrior asura???? That would be hilarious!
Cale Roughstar
Charr.
Pyre Fierceshot is a badass, plus, Charr look 10x cooler than anything else in the whole game.
Oh, and looking forward to Sylvari too

No idea yet. I have to see the races in action, see what they look like and stuff. See if there is anything special to playing a certain one.
My first class is gonna be a warrior type though.

Humans because I'm a human.
Kook~NBK~
Depends on a few things:
1. What professions are available for each race,
2. What each race looks like (GW2 versions)
3. How well my character name(s) work with the race in question (I can't see a Charr named "Chanti Beppu," for example)
4. Whether GW2 will ever actually exist
5. If I even buy GW2

probably sylvari if i can make their skin purple because they seem the most like night elves.
SO HAWT OMG

Konig Des Todes
I will have three characters:
"Necromancer" Charr
"Ritualist" Sylvari
"Ranger" Human
I put the professions in quotes because Anet said they will change the professions, so I will pick whatever is closest.
However, if each race has a different dialogue or availibility to certain quests (like how characters from different continents cannot do specific quests in GW1), I might make a Norn "Warrior" and an Asura "Mesmer" - if anything, to be event characters.
Same here. If they do decide to make Tengu playable, I'll be making a fourth character:
"Assassin" Tengu
No, nothing has been told about when something will be announced.
I hope. I don't know how long I can keep waiting. But D3 will be the main merchandising opponent for GW2 I bet.
Already been stated to be different professions. But I think the 6 core professions will stay - just slight twisted (and some skill ideas from the expansion professions - including Chronomancer - will be added to the core professions).
By the look of one of the Norn concept art for EN, I assume that they will be able to transform to a were<enter spirit name>. The concept showed werebear, werewolf, and werepig. I hope there is an elite form spell that transforms us into weremanpig. That would make me make a Norn.
Yes I can
"Necromancer" Charr
"Ritualist" Sylvari
"Ranger" Human

All of them if I'll have enough character slots.
Shayne Hawke
Are you assuming that there would only be one race that I would want to play?
Different races = different benefits = specific professions may work best in certain places.
Besides, I'm not going to limit myself before I see what my options are.

If anyone assumes that ArenaNet will have the same number of races available at launch *coughifitlaunchescough*, then they are crazy.
Every MMO in the past 3 years has been launched unfinished and/or with races missing.

shoyon456
All of my race/profession combinations will obviously hinge on how the racial benefits play out. However, from my initial perspective, I suppose I will be making:
-a "Dervish" Sylvari
-a "Dervish" Asura
-a "Dervish" Charr
Assuming the game comes out, and if there is nothing resembling a dervish.... well, lets just say my HoM will probably go to a friend or someone who makes it worth my while

Since we know squat about classes, proffessions
I'm going to play as Commander Ryker, then I can do what ever I want, break all rules and be a general pain in the butt.

Human:Canthan:Assassin
jackinthe
assuming they don't have special race differences... prolly just human?

Amantis
Probably Human first. Then maybe a Norn Ranger or a Sylvary Ritualist.(note: all professions = GW2s equivalent)
