The final day of Asura Week has arrived for Guild Wars 2 fans, and Game Designer Ree Soesbee takes the wheel with a mixed approach.
Her look at the race combines hard facts with a short story about an Asura Krewe working through a dangerous task in its own devious and complicated fashion. The rest of the entry takes a deeper look at things we've learned about the Asura during the rest of this week: the political system, the various colleges, and the inner workings of Krewes.
This entry serves as a nice wrap-up to Asura Week, highlighting the core of who the Asura are: highly intelligent, driven little guys with a ruthless desire to be the best and brightest. Head over to the ArenaNet blog for the full story.

Very nice story. Love the little bit between Volla and Dlixx flirting, always did wonder how Asura were with relationships. Also nice to see the different inventions and a greater explanation of the Asuran colleges.

This and Dream and Nightmare are definitely the highlights of the race weeks. Can't wait get to see what Ree has in store for us with Sea of Sorrows :)

I do have to say while I personally can't stand the little buggers, ANet did a great job with them. Glad that their week is over. Now, when do we get the last class reveal?

Excellent stuff!I Have to say I love the design overview weeks on the various GW2 races. The character concept design pages are usually my favorites of each.

It seems Massively readers are not big into the Asura or maybe Asura lovers get their news on FB. I actually skipped out on most of this reading, knowing that GW2 news will be sparse for the next few weeks. I hope the new Profession is revealed soon!!
