Feedback talk:User/Derikvyreflame/New Race: Mist'ken

I like your idea. I like the call back to Razah- connecting GW2 to GW1 is a very good touch. I like how you built on the old stuff.

I think you should play up their inhuman origina, nature and appearance. This is to further differentiate them from the Sylvari (who are a tabula rasa race) and the Humans on whose form the original Razah and the Sylvari are based. It will make them stand out more rather than being another humanoid race in the game (Humans, Norn and the semi-extinct Dwarves). --Messenger 15:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

One more suggestion: I know you're getting the "'ken" part from the Shiro'ken. The discussion page on them translates "ken" as Japanese for "sword" or "blade" in reference to being Shiro's weapons. However, as a race, they're not weapons but a people. Maybe you should change their name as a race into something like "Mistborn" or whatnot. After all, not all of them are going to wield swords in GW2. --Messenger 08:17, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Don't take this the wrong way, but we really don't need more races right now. What you've thought up is pretty imaginative and creative (though the no eyes thing is kinda meh) however I don't feel that this belongs in the suggestion pages anymore. Arenanet isn't going to add more playable races at this time (and this is exactly what your race is) and aren't ready to start developing future content yet. Also, they could very well already have lore for Razah already.--Will Greyhawk 23:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

I know, I was just trying to get it out htere when I thought of it ^^ I was more wanting to get the idea out there early, for them to add or get inspiration from for later expansions. Derikvyreflame 16:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Or, it could be that you put it in so early that it gets missed by Anet when they are thinking about whats next.--Will Greyhawk 09:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
