Hehe! I feel your pain there are some cool looking mini pets but the ones that look cool I have to agree are being sold for some outstanding prices I saw that the Longhair yeti went for something like 100k + 80 Ectos but most of the nicer looking mini's where only given to Japan/Tawain. But I have a few more mini ideas that I forgot to post:

Mini Gwen
Mini Black Moa
Mini Glint
Mini Phoenix
Mini Djinn (All Elements)
Mini Griffon
Mini Terrorweb Dryder

and so on but did everyone see the new mini pet revealed he is just too cute for words.

To many people, mini-pets are seen as a way to make a quick buck. Here you end up with a weapon that is yours and yours alone.

Even the implementation looks easy enough (from my comfy chair), I guess the weapon simply needs a string in its name, such as "<Player Name>'s Ghostly Staff".

But to everyone else, the weapon looks the same as any other, nothing special. And it's not like they can see your name on it, if you want your name on it just customize it. "customized for xxxx xxxx"

dobby the house elf mini pet...i mean asuri.

more idea for pets:
Mini Alesia (favourite henchman during prophecies)
Mini Doric (little dwarf king...think thats his name)
Mini Togo
Mini Razah (as i can't have him normally)

MirageMaster · Mar 06, 2007, 10:11 PM // 22:11

minipets..minipets...minipets.... whats so good in them? everyone just wants to sell them! Other then charr shaman others not even cute! and they are all useless!

Vrolijk · Mar 06, 2007, 10:23 PM // 22:23

i don't like to see more miniatures in the game. as said many times before there are enough of them already.

i'd rather have a special armour or a new dye colour with 2nd bday

Darksun · Mar 06, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

If they could pull of glowing dyes (I guess it would just be bloom level from dyed object) that would be kinda cool. Seems like it's probably harder than it sounds..

This may have been suggested before, but I would love to see his happen.

(1)

Offer two-year-old characters a one-time* item "imbue", (comparable to what Charsi did in Diablo 2).

Basically, you take any equippable item that exists as a drop in the game (except perhaps Greens, since some have unique skins), you bring it to the imbuer and it is turned into a max damage, golden, req 9, inscribable customized to your character (even for off-hands, though there is no added benefit, of course).

A quick example: every Warrior loves Prophecies' Sickles, but they only exist in very low quantity and non-max versions (save for Victo's Battle Axe).

You happen to find a 5-10 one somewhere, you take it to the imbuer and tada! Perfect and customized to you alone.

(*) I guess you could be offered 2 imbues so you can have a one-hand and an off-hand, or two of each, or an one-hand and a two-handed, or two two-handeds, or whatever you like.

(2)

Take any item at all (except perhaps a Green, Crafted or Collector's), very likely a perfect golden that you like a lot, and have it changed into a green.

The name would either be customizable or simply "Player Name's Weapon".

Once again, two items would be even better.

A combination of eurocent 1 and 2 would of course be sheer bliss.

/agree, with one addition.
The weapon u make would definatly become a greeny (you wouldnt be able to use this on the super rare items, (crystal, dwarven, ascalon...) to keep the prices / rarity up. But i do think that it should be ANY item, thus making a perfect weapon of a ex; shadow bow req 11 14-27 -> req 8 15-28.

This ist the best idea! So I can get the pet I want (this is usually what happens on birthdays

).
!!!!No more random pets, please!!!!

i love the idea this would stop high prices for pets if u can get every pet u want! its our chars bd so stop making ppl sad with pets they dont want

VOTE FOR NO RANDOM PET SETS!

Is2r · Mar 06, 2007, 10:55 PM // 22:55

My characters far from being 2 years old, but when the time comes i'd like a mini of that char. (Basically a Mini-Me)

kazjun · Mar 06, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Well, I'd prefer an aura of some sort, but If I had to choose a minipet...
First off, I'd like minipet storage. Then...
mini-lich
mini-djinns
mini-avatars (balth,grenth,dwayna,mel,lys)
mini-shadow army
mini-any UW monster really
mini-glint
mini-gwen (would be worth a fortune, hehe)

MirageMaster · Mar 06, 2007, 11:33 PM // 23:33

doh.its all about selling your minis,isnt it? for some damned 100k +200ecto.. buh,just lame.Easier to buy money online and not ruin presents for others.

Vlatro · Mar 06, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Character Restyling system. My prophacies chars are nearly 2 years old, and didn't have the skin-tones, hair styles, faces etc. to choose from when they were created. I would love to be able to change this without sacraficing a vetran character.

How about a single new hero. The player sets the primary profession once, and thereafter it's permanent. Make it available to long-time vetran players who don't have nightfall, or a great new addition for those who do.

A new elite mission accessible only to characters 2+ years old, with new green drops and unique skinned weapons, comparable to DoA in the challenge level.

TwinRaven · Mar 06, 2007, 11:36 PM // 23:36

mini-this, mini-that....hmmmm....how about a mini-game that uses minis...or emotes/commands for minis...new mini-critters of any kind are going to either strike people as "more of the same so why bother" to "mildly amusing, but a new glut to the mini-market"...While ANet has (IMHO) done a fine job of rewarding its die-hard customer/fan base, I think we would all like a collective gift along the lines of some, as-of-yet, unfullfilled and hoped for suggestion like an auction house (where minipets could be traded)...Maybe a new set of emotes for "experienced" players, weapons viewable in town or some other nifty trick...as for Items, I'll say what I say to my wife every year: You don't have to get me anything this year, I know you love me, just be there for me and try not to yell at me if I occasionally leave the toilet seat up. Why not a birthday card with a gift certificate....I get those all the time. The certificate would be redeamable one-time only for a selection of items from a collector...If I HAD to pick a mini...mini-me.

NJudson · Mar 07, 2007, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I prefer pretty much anything that IS NOT another mini-pet regardless of whether they put out new mini sets or whatever. Personally, I'd rather have a weapon or something like that which has been suggested on a number different posts. It's my opinion that the mini pets we have now is ok, but they really serve no purpose and to flood the game with more useless items it just blah....

Anything glowing is great! People love glowing like the chaos axe, How bout a chaos weapon for the profession, also i would love to be able to jump, either making it for every1 or for a birthday. The emote of juimping up and down in the same spot is boring. That is pretty much the only thing in WoW that is better then GW. Jumping around is fun, also jumping up ontop of things, people etc. And jumping down a high place eg a mountain and killing yourself would be fun 2 =D

Back to chaos weapons, that would be great. Or something that you are missing and would think of adding it...SDS Shocking Dragon Sword.

If you INSIST on making minis

Mini Mursaat
Mini imp fire/ice
Mini Blasphemy
Mini stone summit
Mini Warden
Mini Avicara
Mini Urgoz
Mini Forgotten
Mini Excecutioner
Mini Hellhound

It's fun to stay the YMCA!
/YMCA

A new dance for all characters that is the YMCA this way we can sync all characters to do the awesome dance known most of the world over, the YMCA! Sorry this came to mind as Red started doing the YMCA in Applebees tonight and I got to picturing each of my characters or half of my guild lined up doing the YMCA (including the thrusting and finger pointing thingy) and I was like OMG MUST PM GAILE! But then I figured she would just tell me to post it so here it is XD

ANYWAYS! I do not care if this is a birthday present or just a future impliment but I WANT IT! For all the Gal Div**** (edited even tho I doubt he cares) out there who sing YMCA over alliance chat and all of us costume freaks around the world, let us unite and dance dance DANCE!

(and no I didn't start drinking until AFTER this idea occured thank you very much!

)

Torikae · Mar 07, 2007, 04:36 AM // 04:36

I'm not a huge fan of minipets, but nor do I hate them.
I do, however, think it would be nicer to have something that says "This character is two years old!" rather than "This character MIGHT be one year old, or perhaps I just traded for this mini..."

...And I'm actually IN LOVE with the customised-green-weapon-with-your-character's-name idea.
Tbh, I don't think they'd need to be customised - I can hardly see prices jumping sky high on named weapons - most of us aren't famous, and I'd like to be able to use them between my characters and friends.

Mister_Ex · Mar 07, 2007, 05:15 AM // 05:15

I am ALL about customized weapons. I liked the idea of taking any weapon skin I like and regardless of the stats upgrading it to max and customizing it. I might actually be able to get a Sephis Axe worth a darn. Imagine that. :P I'd rather not fill up my storage with yet another mini pet.
