I wasn't expecting it myself.  Doesn't bother me either.

They will leave it for release I think. There has to be some mystery to the game when it goes live.

i really hope so ...

Weird. I wasn't expecting higher level areas, but atleast those 2, or just 1. Maybe they'll show them in further BWE.

This again.

Hasn't Anet said they won't be showing these two races in Beta because they want to keep content exclusively for launch?

What if they charge for those two? Did they ever say they wouldn't?

They are 2 of the races that will be playable at release. They will not charge for them. Please read ALL the A.Net posts before you post.

Am I the only one that finds this hilarious? I mean if any and I do mean ANY, other developer did this.  There would be no end to the amount of post commenting on how they are hiding something.  Post on how stuff untested by the majority is bad.  As well as various other conspiracy post.  Yet Anet does it, and everything is "right as rain".  The amount of hypocrisy when it comes to Anet is just mind blowing.

If any other developer did what exactly? Now showing 2 of their 5 planned races that everyone already knows will be available at release? They are indeed hiding 2 important races but that's all we know they will be there.... it's not like their story affects the human story for example.

At first they were only showing Humans, then they added Charr and finally the Norn. I would say they will add the Asura next and finally the Sylvari (no info on this, just a guess)

You know what's funny?

Hiding or not... with just 5 races... GW2 still has more variety in its races than SW:TOR. Think on that for a moment...

Agreed.  Personally, I don't even want to see Asura/Sylvari areas or races until headstart/launch.  I like a bit of mystery and these games these days always come out with everything already spilled via news bites, beta testers, data mining, it's annoying.  I miss the days of FFXI mysteries in my MMOs.

Maybe thos two races are still just in development. Got a long time before we play this game live and they are in no rush since we all paid already.

ther are some gameplay videos with both races around .....so what mystery? , even char creating videos around...

i just want to see the animations of both races combined with some weapons/classes .....gah :(

asura necromancer ? asura warrior? :3

I hope they dont add more content to the beta events, its enough content already.. They have to keep the launch day interesting, so we have a lot of new stuf to explore, including the new races.

You've lost me. What are they hiding?

Models and animations? There are Asura and Sylvari NPCs all over the place.

Incomplete zones? The existing zones that have been shown are so full of content it wouldn't even matter if all you could do is make your Asura / Sylvari and move to another starting zone. But this isn't the case as you can see a press preview from APRIL here: http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/guild-wars-2-asura-levels-1-10-our-exclusive-hands-on-impressions/

The people who post about how untested stuff is so bad are the raiders who need to know their end-game content is going to keep them chained to their computers for months. There's no raiding in GW2... which also seems to be where most of the hate for GW2 comes from. It's almost as if raiders are afraid that so many people will be happy with a MMO that doesn't have raiding that developers will stop making games for them.

LOL

you can see those two races here and there.... there are closed beta players who tested all that... the open betas are for server loads mostly... and some WvWvW mechanics...
