I would rather have something that can't be sold for a second birthday. It would be nicer if there wasn't an increase of "WTS [insert minipet]" spam in the local chat. Be it a new hat, weapon or anything fancy that's customized for the character, I'm sure Anet can think of a few ideas with their creativity.

This *may* have been suggested somwhere in the preceeding 24 pages [I only read the first 4 pages before posting this], but what if rather than giving people a new Mini... you gave THAT CHARACTER the ability to display more than one Mini at a time [and this could be extended to the number of birthdays that character has had... thus if someone had a 5 year-old character, that character could display up to 5 mini-pets at once].

You can throw in another mini for each birthday too, if you want, but this idea would give people a way to "Display" the age of their characters [which, I suspect, would go over very well indeed].

Considering you can still only display 20 minis per district; I'd say this would be a pretty much unusable gift.

forgot who suggested it (SO many ideas) but please, please PLEASE do NOT give more people divine aura. As someone who bothered to pre ordered the original GW CE i would feel kinda stupid for paying that extra money now wouldn't i? besides, it's kinda cool when i see someone with glowing hands like myself

P.S vote no to minipets! need something special, like that disguises idea, thats awesom-o

MrTumnus · Mar 04, 2007, 06:14 AM // 06:14

for the sake of CEs, no Divine aura, no spirit backup dances, and no discoballs/suns

agreed, not fair on us, unless it's something completely new, or an additional effect

Ashleigh McMahon · Mar 04, 2007, 08:18 AM // 08:18

Give us a /conga emote that summons spirits that do a conga - and your character gets a special glow(halo maybe?) when they are playing the conga drums

I'd live with that

I feel very sure that we will never offer those as birthday gifts; I feel sure that we will never sell them. We very much want to assure that Collector's Editions are limited in nature, and that those players who are kind enough to support the game at that extraordinary level maintain the specialness of their special in-game displays.

Eviance · Mar 04, 2007, 08:47 AM // 08:47

I do not expect Divine but something akin to it would be nice, SOMETHING glowy is always nice ^_^

Ive got one CE on my 2 accounts as well and I agree: I like feeling special. But I still think another -minor- gloweffekt (like that burning footsteps i read about a few pages before) would be very nice though. Or that outfit idea. I think most ppl here agree they would like to have something other ppl can see and that doenst take up more space. I dont like the title or tatoo idea though. Too many tatoos on too many chars already, it would perish under the normal ones.

I still really like the idea of a special dye, that makes your armor or equipment look like the ghostly mans or batik printing or something like that.

But..is there even a chance Anet would NOT go for minipets?

Great I go away half a week, and theres 10 pages of replies added I had to read x.x but this reply was what I sort of was looking for.

As I said before Anet would shoot me and a lot of others in the back giving out Auras due to the fact somebody is 2 years old.

For people who want something glowy get an IDS or something

I just hope if Anet goes for mini pets they put in the option so you can pick a pet you like and somewhere to put them... I got like 4 hydras:s I can start a farm if they keep this up.

Saw something about a journal would be nice to write something down ingame yeah, but an update of the friends network so you could add some Personal Info, like names, wheres somebody from? (I know like 3 other Guinevere's).
But I don't think this should be a birthday gift though. This should be for all players made accessible

[edit] Ah found my post

- Divine Aura, erhm I'd say no. Why? Theres some CE owners out there, inc. me with chars thats almost 2 years old. What would be the use of another sort of aura? Besides that I'd say if you want the 'special' aura, just google online for a retail seller, theres still a few out there that sell the Prophecies CE pack. I do remember a quote from the FAQ saying something Divine Aura will only be available for people who bought the CE Prophecies Edition. So you would 'shoot' those owners in the back, adding DA to non CE owners.

- Death Counter reset: this one I'd like to see. My idea would be something like they get survivor r1 at time of the reset. Why? Looking to the same char for 2 years would be a test of survival itself I'd say. After that you'd have to follow the same path as a 'normal' survivor would do. So lets say character A has 2.231.993 exp he would need gain the same amount as a normal rank 1 survivor to get rank 2.

- The new mini pets & where to put them... Ok, if you guys wanna add more pets, fine with me. Just 2 minor details: First off, please add the option so you can PICK your 2nd BD pet. Or something you need to check 3 and click a button and you get 1 of the 3. Even though option 1 is fair, everybody asks something for his birthday and hopes he gets it? Don't you? << also should keep the 'peace' on mini pet prices. More on this in my last part of the post.
Second thing, add some extra storage space(tab) or bag for these mini pets. They do take a lot of room in our limited storage we already have. I mean if a person gets 1 full set of each campaign (the 15k armor look) + core FoW Armor (lets say 4 a set, cuz not everybody has masks), thats 16 spots taken (if you keep the stuff on that char) meaning you'd lose almost 2 bags for just your good looking armor you collected in 2 years.

- Adding new mini pets, would rock indeed. At least put the 'prophecies' heros in there. So you can have your mini Cynn, Aidan, Devona, Mhenlo, Eve (ect ect) with you. I'd love that and I'm sure a lot of others would to. (Non sellable(MUST!!!), but transferable in that account only if possible)

- Heros: A 2 year old character has a new quest, able to get that in Lions Arch or Kamadan (Yes I did notice this sucks for somebody without access to Nightfall, but I assume most people have it). Wouldn't be a hardcore quest, just something do able to obtain a special Hero like the heros from Prophecies. Why just Prophecies? I still think this was the best story till now and 2 year olds, sorry but those are Tyrian born. So you could add Cynn as hero and customize her always annoying Firestorm or make Devona a swords warrior. Since they are already out there, idk if it's possible to make them hero's. Due the fact that non 2 year olds, can not custom them, as you can. But everybody will see and know you're 2 years old. (character wise people) << I favor this!

- Something worth Money: I would like that idea aswel, but I still think doing quests and just level/hunt/farm is the way to bring in money. Not wait 2 years for a crapload of ectos. But thats just my way of thinking and I know theres people out there with 2 years of play in collectors armor so... I would understand.

- New Title (it has been said) - Just a new title, with something to do so people can see you're 2 years old. All the hows and whats atm, I have no idea. [edit] I like the idea of thats been suggested a little back... Some sort of spamfree town where 2 year olds can hang out. No sales chat there or w/e. I'm pretty sure that most of the 2 year old characters aren't spammy little newbies. Of course you can only go to that town with your title on display

which has to do with age, non maxable. Nothing with EXP. I don't mind an EXP title but it would to totally useless since I can make more exp in a couple months farming then with a 2 year old that you always used to scout, run around w/e. Exp doesn't show the age of a character.

Also why I'm pushing the option so you can pick your mini pet at your second birthday is to avoid INSANE prices like with the bone dragon and gold pets, HoD swords and such rare items. The mini pig actions was hilarious, because some people bought a pig for about 30-60p and Pig drops in and gives a free mini-pig, I couldn't stop laughing... I have the money to spend some cash on mini pets, because I have my armors already, inc most of my heros. But I'd rather waste them on my titles

I'm working on.

Dont care about Divine aura.CE owners can keep it.All i want is the boss aura... yellow body glow especialy for my warrior.He can beat any warrior boss one on one so i think he deserves it after 2 years and finishing all 3 chapters.

Technically speaking that what you mean is a sort of Divine Aura. But maybe theres not a lot of people that can think outside a box...
Contribute, add something to argue about instead of plainly say: *** CE owners, I only care about my warrior....

My view about this is very very simple: if you wanted some DA, you should have bought CE prop. in the beginning like some did.

Grubcat · Mar 04, 2007, 05:19 PM // 17:19

I read the first few pages when they were posted, and did not read the next 20 today, so perhaps these are duplicate suggestions.

How about a mini Kraken? That would be my first choice, and a mandragor slither, especially if it did slither.

I hope that the two-year presents would be new pets only, no repeats- so that you could tell, 1st year set, 2nd year set, etc.

Bah... I do get sick of the protectionist attitude of my fellow Proph CE owners. Clearly that is not what has been meant when people have requested an aura in this thread. The Divine Aura is sparkly hands - that's not the same as a body glow. Hell, technically speaking the Divine Aura, isn't actually an aura...

jylith · Mar 04, 2007, 06:09 PM // 18:09

i'm not for a new mini pet.
i want something more sexy, like... dunno.
a special armor for the two years old character....
Some black dye, or , a reduction for UW and FoW ( 1000 Gold =>500gold for instance)....
a emote when you type /age, like yourself or anything else.

A miniature Awakened Head would also be really cool,
but I think it would have to be actual size or else
it would be too tiny. . .

Deadly SiNs · Mar 04, 2007, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Hmm, i like the minipets visible in town idea
How bout weapons,shields etc visible as well
I think that'd be pretty awesome ^^
