GW2 - Gamescom 2011 - Character creation - Sylvari

[WhatNameShouldITake]

@Hazmat2142 that's quite an interesting point you have there.

[WhatNameShouldITake]

I'm so tempted to make a female Sylvari character.. They just look stylish, and awesome! But alas, I'm a guy, and people will undoubtedly make fun of me :P

[AeronwenTrewent]

@WhatNameShouldITake I find it weird but lots of guys make female chars :) Also stay odd VOIP and how will anyone know?

[snatcherofpeachs]

@WhatNameShouldITake you gonna let what other people think get in the way of enjoyment? its a game man

[Shiina42]

@WhatNameShouldITake If you want one I say go for it, the only people who make fun of those who play what they like despite gender are those insecure with them self, they look neat? Make one. Anyone worth talking to will be cool with it.

[WhatNameShouldITake]

@Shiina42 Those are wise words :) you make a fair point, thank you.

[Hazmat2142]

@WhatNameShouldITake If you want to get technical the Sylvari dont have gender, they simply give the illusion of it.

[ikilledAeris]

Really? No mohawk on female sylvari?....FUCK!

[Chaselock990]

@Alex770890 They said it in the Sylvari week, but they said Sylvari "grow" theyr clothing, but can still take it off, easily.

[OneEJ91]

Why people compare sylvari with elves? What's same? they live in a tree? come on.... Elves are immortal mystic creatures that lived for 1000's of years and have a vast knowledge about the world.... Sylvari are (no sure if they are immortal or not) young creatures with a little knowledge of the world around them and willing to learn... Their anatomy are too different, except both resemble human (like any other humanoid...).

[Gariel2007]

Big questiom though. Sylvari armor is supposed to actually be part of thier bodies. is this to mean that w/e you choose from the start is the last suit you'll ever wear?

[MrDeadSilance]

@Gariel2007 No of course not.They can wear other armors too which they get further in the game... -.-

[Alex770890]

@Gariel2007 Who ever said that? thye make their cloths out of organic materials, but its not a part of them.

[dawormly]

i really need this game like RIGHT FUCKING NOW

[darksoul3100]

i want people opinion on this

i want to create a character with black/grey skin

sylvari

armor will be if its possible white with yellow/gold lines in it

hair will be long and red

class will be ranger

and its name will be black thorn

what do u people think if this combination if it was possible ?

[Chijiko]

@darksoul3100 Someone will probably b dick n take it from u but it sounds pretty cool going with the Ent style skin? or more leaf like?

[darksoul3100]

@Chijiko leaf u mean green right ? doesnt fit the colours... btw if 1 person takes it doesnt matter becaus then it means there to stupid to think of there own... btw still not sure about the name u know a cool plant name for it maybe ? that fits the look ?

[MainstreamChicksSuck]

can someone tell me if sylvari are gonna have customizable Horns?

[Yamaneko81]

Im totally gonna make a female Sylvari.

[Unzockable]

CONGRATULATIONS, it's a Smurf ^^

[pouarefr]

Love the artwork style

[CaptainBlackSparrows]

@pouarefr

omg i read 'lol at the artwork style' i almost got into a fanboy rage!

[DAYSandMONTHS]

lol navi, navi EVERYWHERE once the beta is released.

[TheFallingMatty]

I don't know why the creators thought it was a good idea to give the Sylvari a blue skin color. :'X

[Gariel2007]

@TheFallingMatty probably just to give more option other than just Green.

[Bastarden]

It's almost as if some fanbois hope so much for this game to be good that their brains are turning into moosh, a moosh that can only rant "GW2 pwns WoW huhuhuhhhh....".

Fact is, it's not even out yet....I think it looks awesome and I hope it's going to be great and hopefully my new main MMORPG, but do I feel the need to bash WoW, or games that will be released in the future in order to make GW2 look better to myself and others? Nope....

[Mich6961]

I wonder how close it is to being done?

[shadak1ss]

This game will surely be nothing short of amazing. People say it will kill WoW, others disagree. But every WoW player knows this game will be good, no matter how much they try to deny and defend their pride and joy. I KNOW this will be good. I can feel it in my gut. And I know alot of you do too. Any news on a release date yet?

[Bastarden]

@shadak1ss ....*sigh*...why should WoW players have to defend themselves and their game in the first place? Eh? Are you so insecure that you have to try and piss on others interests and preferences instead of just going your way?

I'm a WoW-player AND I'm a huge GW2-fan already...I never connect the 2 games. One is one way, the other is different...durp. Comparing them, bashing them and hoping for one to kill the other is childish AND silly considering the fact that they are 2 separate games.

[shadak1ss]

@Bastarden Try reading matey. I ain't bashing any game, I think they are both good in their own way. They are both MMO games with differences of course. So what would you compare it too then? Did you see anywhere in my post that "GW2 will piss all over WoW"? No you didn't. You tried to put your words in my mouth and then flame me for it. Prick. And of course people will compare it to WoW. It's common sense to compare it to the next best thing.

[Ronaadidi]

I love the fact that you stil have boundaries in customizing your character, and you can't create something that doesn't even look like it's race anymore, like in Aion, where you stumble upon hideous characters all over the place.

[Nicro327]

If they had a tail option I would so go for it(Na'vi ftw!)

[Zoaea]

Blue is a plant color. =o just not a very common one lol.

Thank you so much for your vid on the different skin colors for Sylvari, so many people only showed one or two or no variations! (your only the second of 15 videos i watched that has done this).

=3 btw did anyone else notice how once it was all blue it almost glowed (bluebell sylvari)!

[ricethesnake]

GUILD WARS2!!

[letiic]

it like an AVATAR =]

[barf245]

@watercoloreddreams Sylvanis =P

[MunkeeBreath]

anyone hear the bone minon at 5:01?

[amfahmage]

@MunkeeBreath Yup

[Pille9999]

you like blue ^^

[HordeOnYourTube]

its about time they should announce the mesmer profession....

[ergonomichemorrhoid]

Maybe I'm getting old but all that noise in the background makes me want to stab my ear drums while jumping out a window. I cant imagine being there live. Holy shit that is horrible.

[IgorWheaton]

cool vid thx

[EmrickElgen]

Wow, I want to play GW2 now!

[Craigwest949]

Very clear on all the options.

[OwenTheBall]

Very nice thanks

[gingisek]

AMAZING! Oh my god I can't wait to play.

[Sephiroth86nl]

Its Avatar all over again!

[ToryFaol]

@Sephiroth86nl well actually na'vi are more like cats... sylvari are plants. so why avatar? cause there blue? there are also blue aliens in mass effect...

[souchi85me]

Someone likes blue...

[magom99]

Let me guess, hmm... your favorite color is blue?

[mrtymes2]

Man the armor is sweet. Well before the color change.

[mrtymes2]

Man the armor is sweet.

[mattyfromcali]

MMOs aren't like regular games. There will be tons of laggy players, shadows, NPCs, and buildings around when you play. It can't look cutting-edge and still be playable by everyone. It simply can't.

[Alathaea]

@mattyfromcali It's called bloom, bloom and lots of bloom.

[RoflmfaoOnYT]

very boring colours, but ty for uploading this vid :)

[AeronwenTrewent]

@watercoloreddreams Corrected now. Thankyou, I was pretty tired by the time I uploaded this :)

[chromicat]

I'm really hoping for more hairstyles than that at release. seriously.

[AzureTheStealth9]

@chromicat there will be remember this is just a demo

[Juk3n]

looks nice, but dated at the same time.

[Poppadop1]

@Juk3n Nice but dated is the norm for MMOs. It makes sure plenty of people have sufficient PC specs.

[correllis]

A wild blue ranger appears..

[Skatefrontcrew]

Wow we can create Characters looking like Avatars!

[parukk]

women

[toastisimo]

ahh I was hoping for a width slider an not just length.. well well

[MrTHEPROUD]

@toastisimo But we will have different choices for Physique only not available for the ''sylvani''(sylvari) in this demo ; )

[toastisimo]

@MrTHEPROUD ahh good, it was the option bellow.. thanx for enlighten me!

[ChaosRiku]

" I'm gonna be a sylani"

[MrBubbleKing]

Yes you made her all blue. I wanted to see how this would turn out if you made yourself all one colour. Thanks!

[lucKyClover7]

Na'vi ! xD

[henkdevries111]

IM BLUE DA BA DEE DA BA DYE

[AryannaStark]

SYLVARI NOT SYLVANI!!!!

[VagabondSausage]

Megaman, is that you?

[AeronwenTrewent]

@VagabondSausage Nope :)

[amfahmage]

@VagabondSausage Lol'd so hard at that comment :D

[JML689]

need....Asura!!!

[screwmanx]

making them blue. na'vi from avatar much? =p hehe

[AeronwenTrewent]

@screwmanx I didn't consciously think about that at the time. I was just going for the least plant like colour.

[screwmanx]

@AeronwenTrewent hehe. they look good though

[mattydog097]

@AeronwenTrewent why didn't you want it a plant color?

[waza801]

@AeronwenTrewent since plants are green the most anti plant like collor would be red since red is the complimental collor of green

[CaptainBlackSparrows]

@AeronwenTrewent

Does pshysic make ur female character have more muscle? xD

[screwmanx]

=D

[descendantsofhonor]

Awesome Aero! Thanks!

[s7alter04]

Best character creation video you've put up so far today. Keep it up!

[s7alter04]
