Now im pro allowing yourself to listen to the noise but I really dont think we need useless noises coming from useless little pets.

Fair enough -- that makes a lot of sense to me Casey Squid.. In fact, out of all the suggestions I've heard today , a similar one sounds most logical...

Make their sounds like the sounds of walking/footsteps -- Only heard by the user.

I'm all for discussion and I think one of the great things about the GuildWars user-community is that it is serious and dedicated to workable solutions for the game, and hoping the developers heed some of them.

I'm along the same vein of the 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' camp... My vote would have been for #2... I didn't see the need for mini's in the towns... the less clutter the better (and come on, races?? :P), but that's just my opinion, and we're all entitled to them...

/not signed, but I agree that there should simply be an option to enable/disable the sound, that would be a much better solution.

Discussion of Guru staff or their actions is not what this thread is for. If you have a problem with what a certain staff member has said, send them a PM, but do not begin hijacking a thread to bash them. Posts of said nature have been deleted.

On Topic:

Eh, sure, bring back the sound, but make it optional. I hate Kuunavang.

The sounds are irritating beyond beleif especially if you have more than one in your group. Like screaming kids that aren't yours. IF Anet wants to GIFT us something on the sound return make it optional for only the owner to hear!!!!

but, if its possible, make it optional
I'd like to hear pet sounds when i mapping for title with hero/hench team, but prefer to turn it off when adventuring with other players

I want an annoying, flapping Kuunavang!
Mini-Varesh is all well and good... but its no Kuunavang!

[Its not as if I PuG much anyway. I'm an AI explorer... and my heroes don't give a toss about strange noises, so nor do I.]

Heres my take.

If you are annoyed by the sound of a mini-pet and the person in the mission wont take you into consideration to put it away, WHY ARE YOU PLAYING THE MISSION WITH SAID PERSON?

It sounds to me like a problem between players, not mini-pets.

It's just like skipping cinemas. If you all agree to skip, and someone doesnt, thats annoying. But its not the cinema's fault is it?

Fender · Feb 15, 2007, 02:38 PM // 14:38

/notsigned - mini pet sounds always have been annoying

Maybe make it optional, but I personally HATE the sounds they make.

Stormlord Alex · Feb 15, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

/signed sorta - if minipet noises are optional. I don't like minipet sounds, but some people do. If we had a toggle to hear them or not, then everyone would be happy.

Unless you're a jerk and think that
a)everyone should suffer in silence 'cuz YOU don't like the sounds
b)everyone should have to put up with your flapping, roaring kuuny just 'cuz YOU like it.

I first noticed the Kuunavang in Ascalon City (Pre-Searing) by the sound it made yesterday. I probably wouldn't have even spotted it otherwise. Its a cute sound. ^_^ ... Helps draw attention and is better for showing off, which is basically all the mini-pets are about.

The mini pet sounds never really bothered me....kinda gave the outposts a much more lively feel. And outside outposts half the time i am fighting something that makes a much more louder sound than any other mini pet so their sounds in the party are nothing.

/signed for them to come back but in the the form of a toggle option - Mini Pet sound effects on/off

Alfrond · Feb 15, 2007, 03:02 PM // 15:02

I liked the minipet sounds as they gave the little critters some personality, and they never bothered me at all. However, since a fair number of people were annoyned by them, I guess optional is the way to go.

Jetdoc · Feb 15, 2007, 03:17 PM // 15:17

/signed. Those who have mini pets should have the ability to hear them. Allow people to toggle off minipet sounds, and everyone will be happy.

rezabm · Feb 15, 2007, 03:45 PM // 15:45

Play the pet's sounds only to its owner, easy huh?

Yes, this would be great

Halmyr · Feb 15, 2007, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Hear other mini-pet sound
1) always
2) only in town
3) only in explorable areas
4) Never

Hear your mini-pet sounds

If they do something like this, I'l signe.

bilateralrope · Feb 15, 2007, 09:51 PM // 21:51

/signed for bringing back the sounds or making them optional. I'd prefer the option to turn their sound on/off in towns and outposts though.
