Ever since the Norn were first announced i been wanting to play one.
I just can´t, i really want cause i love the mythology and how you help the animal spirits in the personal quest but...
....i just can´t.
The animations, those deformed, gorilla like bodies....the underwhelming..boring....crappy looking starting area....
It feels like they made the norn as a test puppet and then they produced all the other races.
Don't let post like mine discourage you.....There is many people who think Norn are the most amazing race after trying them all......There's a reason people voice there opinion on what race they like, because we all like different ones!.....
I personally wanted to play human since day one.....BUT since my friend wanted to play norn I figured ide test one just for stress test......So maybe my opinion is biased
Ok so I finally bought the game yesterday and decided to try it for the first time ever during todays stress test....Well wtf?
I played a Norm and I really said wtf? This game blows....I felt sluggish and it just didn't seem fun at all.....The area made me feel like i was getting dizzy from everything that was going on......so I said ide try human and heres my thoughts.....
It was the BEST experience I think I ever had in any mmo to date......I felt like everything was so smooth and the atmosphere absolutely stunned me! I loved it!......
So I have one question......How can I have such different reactions to the same game? Ive never really had this with other game alts ect......Granted I only played a few hours so far, My opinion should be kept to myself till i logged at least 50 hours? I dunno but I had to ask the forums because I can't figure it out!
The Norn experience has been complained about extensively during beta. It's probably the worst in the game.
With that said, I actually prefer Norn over humans. They move with power.
On the bright side, you can take a Norn character and go to any other race's lands right from the start. You don't have to level up in your zones and you don't have to do the personal story. You do get some pretty cool items from it though.
Odd.
Why was Norn complained about? I liked Norn starter area. Admitted, I too loved Human the most. But Norn was kinda my 2nd fav. with that sort of pseudo Norse setting. Do you recall what people complained about?
And OP: so you hated GW2 first and now with human you like it? I still don't understand what exactly you disliked about Norn?
Most of the complaints were about the Norn personal stories and the first 1-5 area. Apparently some people didn't like the DEs and the hearts there.
Personally, Norn is one of my favorite races in the game. I'm really digging the whole viking vibe. The personal stories were a bit weak though. Then again, I'm not a fan of GW2's personal stories anyway.

Yes, I felt the same about the Norn males. Too much Hulk.
That's why I played a female Norn, they are much more normal, just tall.
and prettyy well proportioned....
i agree norn males look little off to me but norn female has couple body types that look great and basically just make them look like very tall but still well proportioned humans
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
