New stuff for GW is always good. Will I have that as my minipet? Probably not. Although I suppose he could be like my house elf and carry my baggage and clean my storage

Now I just got to find someone to import the mags...

I find it interesting that everyone is assuming that these guys are going to be small. Keep in mind it is a MINI pet. For all we know these things could be 15ft tall(see:burning titan) and can pound the living crap out of us with thier forearms. I bet you won't be making fun of their ears when that happens

Would like to point out that Hinduism is not the only possible source of reference here. In Persian mythology, the Asura (or Ahura) were considered entirely benevolent, and Deva (Daeva) were evil, just the opposite of Hindu beliefs.

There is probably also some relation between the Persian concept of the Asura/Ahura and the Norse Aesir.

Having seen a mini-Asura, it seems pretty dubious that any of this has much bearing, though.

It's a stereotype, yes. But be prepared, because the immature people who roll Elves do come en masse.

Of course, the Asura may be different, because they are ugly (and if Inde's right, that they turn out to be primarily demonic). But we'll see.

I'm refering to the reactive sense, not necessarily proactive. In WoW, most Elves have names resembling some form of "Legolas" "Goku" "Vegeta" "Cloud" or "Sephiroth," or maybe a name with some l33tspeak. 100% of the time I see someone with that type of name, they are either completely disrespectful, or they have no clue how to play their class (I'm not refering to "simple mistakes," I'm referring to not knowing how to do basic functions.)

Actually I played Lineage 2 (retail) for some years, now I'm into Gw and WoW, so yes, I can see your point about immature kids playing the "beautiful" races, but not EVERYONE is like that. The same happens to me now and then, a Blood Elf just like Goku (from the anime) and with the same name, lol . But, imo that's mainly Blizzards fault. They could do a bit research and try not to make a race with such resemblances . I mean have you seen it with the pointy hair? It's EXACTLY like the cartoon.

Now, ontopic, it really bothers me not being able to buy the damn magazine, without importing it. I think we'll see another episode of "Minipet rip offs" . Doesn't ANet know that's what they're causing?

No, Anet never stated that there will be new races, you jumped to that conclusion. It could be a weird coincidence, or they could be a new type of creature, or they could be a new race, as you said. But never once was it confirmed that there will be new races.

I think theyre kind of ugly o___O
Maybe it's some kind of April Fool's joke...

This is not a WoW, Blood Elf, or L2 thread, any further discussions on those subjects will be deleted.

Galaxy Quest (besides the fact that it's just plain awesome) has popped up in several inside jokes in GW, I wouldn't be surprised if they did make the Asurans ".. get mean.. and get ugly somehow.." Plus if the name has demonic connotations, then well...

Asurans may end up being freekin cool!

I think for the background they just reused a piece of concept art from one of the existing campaigns. Looks familiar though I don't feel like thumbing through my art books. In short, I'd say it gives no hint at all as to the nature of the next campaign and there's no reason to pay it any mind.

Don't see what all the fuss is about, if you don't like him, don't get it.
After all, it's just a little bonus. I happen to really like the little guy.

Considering it's a minipet, it kind of reminds me of a genetic amalgam of a moogle and a viera.

Squeenix: Release the lawyers!

Ah what the hell, I like it. There's totally 8 rows of teeth hiding behind that vacant expression.
