I have a billion characters and only three of them are sylvari, but at least one is a warrior :getin:

If any of them are a female charr mesmer, you'll have the rarest and most precious character in GW2.

The farther along I get into the 1-80 story as a Sylvari, the more I realize that Sylvari is the correct and intended race for the player. Human personal story is stupid bullshit comparatively.

Looking forward to (re-doing) Heart of Thorns, and definitely 100% am going to do the caladbolg collection afterwards.

Sylvari get a bunch of unique dialogue and stuff in HoT, it’s definitely the “correct” way to play

My rarest character is my most played - male charr elementalist

I've had him dressed up as a red and gold dragon since HoT because I like when I use Fire Dagger 2 I get to breathe fire out the dragon mouth :sun:

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

Humans are definitely both the hot elves and the basic humans of GW2, appealing to both types of players.

My female norn revenant main is in the bottom half of that chart, partly because revenants are still less played than the older classes.

I'm torn on my upcoming elementalist because I need a male human and a female asura to complete my set of voice actors, but I really like the official art for weaver (human female of course). I always end up deleting any human males I make because nolan north doesn't fit the look (usually a grizzly adams type or the closest I can come to it). Haven't taken a female asura past the tutorial yet.

For charr I've got a male mesmer and a female engineer.

Also GW2Efficiency has race/profession/gender statistics in case anyone else is curious about that kind of data. Sylvari warrior is shockingly rare.

Is Female Human Elementalist or Male Human Warrior still top of the charts?

I have two human characters and I find them terminally boring.
At least make a Norn lady for the cool dance and commanding voice.

It's fairly apparent that all armor/outfits/whatever are designed for humans first and foremost (which makes sense), so if dressup is important to you then human is a solid pick.

They're also fine on female norn, except you don't get the most blatant fanservice armor (human racial tier 3, especially light/medium).

Sylvari are my faves except shoulder armor, especially heavy, look cartoonist on them. Extra so on the slimmer bodies.

Those are pretty egregious, even for being in a game with a ton of very revealing armor styles. Anet knows their market though because loving everyone runs around with that, or Sneakthief, on their female medium armor users.

I’ve played this game in 3 bursts: launch, hot/lws3, and eod. The first time I stuck with Asurans because I wanted the small guy aesthetic. The second time I went with humans because I was tired of heavy armor options sticking your asura in sandals/barefoot. This time, I’m all about Sylvari, with a comedy Norn healbrand who’s the shortest and fattest a Norn can be.

Sylvari female is probably the best model. I like male Sylvari for most things, but shoulder and chest armor is scaled weird. Too often the sets end up looking cartoonish when they’re not meant to be. Additionally the running animation for the male Sylvari just looks off. Something about it doesn’t sit right

It shouldn’t surprise me but it still does that that the top 8 are all human female, with human female engineer at #13.

Maybe they're all just sitting in town all the time? By playtime they're also the most popular so someone's doing something as a human female ele.

Yeah it actually overwrites your horns and adds the elf ears to the upper set of ears. It's not great, not bad though - they did more than just :effort: copy-paste. Sylvari get appropriate elf ears too:

I miss my cat someone buy me a kitten.

I don't think I've ever put all my alts in one place. Here's my entire Sylvari Army + 2 norn, 2 human and 2 asura. That one purple ele weaver is the one with the most map/story completion. It can be done! Also while asura daredevil is hilarious solo - in a zerg i have no loving idea where she is ever.

Sylvari as individuals and as a force in the world are probably the least hosed up, but sylvari society is really hosed up. Cargo cult with literal brainwashing at birth? The rest of the races are absolutely not any better, but still. GW2 lore is really good.

They should do a better job of preserving their most sacred artifact though, it’s just kind suspended by some vines and is exposed to the elements.

IIRC it's Raven Ceremonial medium legs because the skirt is attached to the chestpiece (unlike the light/heavy versions).
