Preview the Races of Guild Wars 2 III

My time spent with the humans was very entertaining, some of the highlights were: An underwater fight with a giant fish; Stumbling into a group boss battle event with a massive walking tree; Getting into a bar fight with some bandits; Exploring the deadly swamp of buy gw2 gold the Shadow Behemoth; Taking on an enormous earth-elemental boss as a level one character.

There may be a few more playable races this time around, but the humans are not to be so easily tossed aside. They’ve seen quite a few hardships and are more than willing to pick themselves up and get back in the fight.

Norn

The Norn is a giant race of Nordic people from the Northern Shiverpeaks in Tyria. They’re a warrior race known for their hunting, fighting, drinking and reverence for the Spirits of the Wild. When the Elder Dragon, Jormag, awoke, the Norn could not fight back and were forced to retreat south, to the lands previously occupied by the dwarves. During this journey, the Norn heard the voices of the Spirits of the Wild guiding them, namely the Bear, Raven, Snow Leopard and Wolf Spirits. They live by the teachings of these spirits, convinced they can help them defeat Jormag and reclaim their ancestral lands.

The capital city of the Norn is Hoelbrak. It is comprised mostly of five lodges, one for each of their animal totems and the Grand Lodge, which houses a tooth cut from the very maw of Jormag. One thing to be noted is the sheer size of this tooth. The Norn are roughly nine feet tall and it is easily the height of at least ten of them – just how big can Jormag be? I shudder to think.

While initially not as impressive as Divinity’s Reach, Hoelbrak makes up for size in pure charm. The Norn are not shy when it comes to respecting their heroes, erecting multiple statues in the area for those that have performed great deeds. The lodges are impressive and it is comforting to look up and see the massive face of a wolf peering down at you.

The Norn beginner area is Wayfarer Foothills, home to huge mountainside carvings of the Spirits of the Wild in a Mt. Rushmore fashion. Here you will find yourself paying homage to the spirits by answering the riddles of the Raven, feeding bear cubs or being transformed into a snow leopard to hunt. If you head across the river to the east you can find caves of Jotun or Grawl waiting to be pulverized, but the real action begins when you head north. Once you leave the starting area, enemies begin to really get difficult. As you head north you encounter many of the Sons of Svanir, a tribe of Norn who has been corrupted by the power of Jormag. There are also deadly ice elementals to deal with, along with a large number of hostile wild animals. It was in this area I encountered my first real world event.

An announcement on my screen directed me to an ice lake where Svanir Shamans were attempting to summon some sort of ice beast. As I arrived I could see dark ice portals surrounded by elemental creatures, along with a high level Shaman performing a summoning ritual. Around 30 players arrived to take part in the event, managing to destroy the portals, but not before the Shaman were able to summon huge blocks of ice and transform him into a giant ice golem. These dynamic events really make Guild Wars 2 stand out from the rest of the MMO crowd. A fight like this is completely optional and I could have easily ignored it, but after seeing the caliber of a fight like this at such a low level, I can only begin to imagine the beautiful chaos of a level 80 boss event.

If you choose to play a Norn, you will not be disappointed. I didn’t even go into the fact that you can transform in to a were-form of the animal totems! I’m personally looking forward to creating a were-raven that only says “Nevermore!” The possibilities are endless.

There is only one part left about this article and I will give you later. I do wish
 you can pay more attention to the preparation before the release of the Guild War 2, especially the preparation about the Cheap Guild Wars 2 Gold  because it is quite essential in your future gameplay. Good luck!
