Play as a Tengu

i looked through the fourms real quick and i didn't notice anything like this so here it is. After playing through Cantha with talon silverwing as my basic npc i think it would be cool to be able to make a tengu character. Instead of the basic options like Male Female you could have a Tengu character instead. They fight cooler and run cooler than the normal warrior. Things you could do to customize them would be change Eye Color and for skin tones change the color of the feathers. Also imagine what kind of cool armour one could make for a tengu player.

AN mention there would be new races both playable and not, however, they havent implimented any of it yet. This was back before chapter 1 release.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

A while ago I actually came up with a story line on how we could incorporate playing as a Tengu into the Prophecies Campaign.

since i really like the tengu there fighting style and all. If arena net were to do something with the race they could introduce a "summer update" where you can play as a tengu who starts off in a battle with the stone summit or something and eventually works his/her way into helping the people of ascalon because they too are fighting 1 mutal enemy that would be the tyria way to approach it. Or sometime Chapter 3 . Cantha on the other hand has tons of tengu and last time i counted about 2 or more tengu camps 1 around senji's outskirts and of course aeire where talon comes from. Some things would take time like animating a hammer tengu warrior since none exist and making armours for them but i still think its just awsome and arena net claims they planned on doing it sometime. The sooner the better right?

not so i've had guild wars for over a year and just never really cared about fourms and such until recently since i no longer have anything left in the game to do other than farm, i finally registered for the fourms also, keep the post to the main idea of the fourm please.

Hey maybe arena net can't come up with names of armor and such for them thats why its taken soo long basic starting armour on a tengu could be callled nestling's (piece of armor), move on to fledgling's, hawkeyed,bird of prey's. okay i'm running outta names lol

my picks in order are:
1)Tengu
2)Yeti
3)Naga

I would LOVE to play a Charr, but I don't see how you could jam that into the story and make any sense of it. The Naga could simply be an old faction of the peaceful ones that were separated in the Jade wind... Maybe they survived in under-jade caverns and finaly mined thier way out years after the hostile ones formed a clan.

i like that idea of being a Charr but than again the tengu are evil in ascalon too but some are peaceful in cantha thus we could prolly find some charr somewhere that are peaceful too.

Playable species... Again... It's still an okay idea. I don't particularly care, but I can't see any reason why it would be a bad thing. Well, racially-oriented bonuses would suck serious ass. But if it's cosmetic, then go for it.

The Charr, the Dwarves, and the Tengu are the best candidates, in that they're actually somewhat developed as a culture. They've got all the same skills and gear and such as the in-game humans do. Angchu Tengu or Deldrimor Dwarves could be shoved in as playable pretty easily, but the Charr might be a little harder to work in.

I had thought exactly the same thing about wanting a Tengu character ever since i saw talon silverwing on the factions preview weekend.

I'd rather play as a Naga, though Tengu would rock as well Nice suggestion, at first I didn't mind playing humans only, but after a year now, a new race, or even several new races, would rock!

But since this is a huge thing to ask, it won't be added untill chapter 3, and probably even in chapter 3, it won't be added. All we can do is hope.

EDIT: Charr would indeed own as well ^^

I'd like to play a Devourer, and annoy everyone to death by spawning in random places and getting killed that easily that it wasn't even worth it to spawn. And don't get to me about the annoying clicking.
