Secret Unlockable Race. (Discussion)

Some races might be great to play - but fitting them in the story of the game might be difficult. Some races like the Forgotten or the Dwarves are suppose to be a rare sight, having hundreds of them running around wouldn't be right. My suggestion is to have a race that would be unlockable maybe after a (ridiculous) amount of game completion, maxing out what might next be the "Kind Of A Big Deal" title track, or something along those lines.

Why this is a good idea
  •   There are some races that would be great to play but are just not suited to be a big collective race. This feature opens ends for players who have "everything", and everyone loves those big end game secrets.
  •   Expands the game and gives us something extra awesome to work for.
  •  Might add a depth to the story, for example an event entails the creation of a new race. The player might be given the chance to create ONE playable addition, to see what happens to the new species. The new race may not nessaserily be better, but it may offer a different style of play to players.
  •  Status symbol
  • or maybe a create your own race or something might be cool
Why it may not work out
  •   There will be a LOT of talented players, secret races might not be so rare to see of there isn't such a massive difficulty curve - which might put off some players.
  •   There are probably a lot more problems around this (some more easily dealt with than others)
  •  With things like the wiki and forums it is unlikely these would remain secret for long.
  •  Would player expect this race to be unbalanced?
  •  may annoy newer players and be called noobs.
  •  this is also a start to cheats
  •  people will compain about equlity.. (grr)

Better races available after game completion

moved from ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/The Mists (Races such as Razah) Could be the Secret Unlockable Race like was suggested during June 15

Have Races such as Razah. Could be faster moving race with lower or higher armor. Could be the Secret Unlockable Race like was suggested during June 15. Could be unlocked by beating the game on either Hard Mode or Normal Mode

Why this is a good idea
  •  Could be used as "Specialty Runners" for Capture the Flag or another PvP Arena
Why it may not work out
  •  May be a "Super Race." Such as one too dominant with strategies such as "Hit and Run."
