The Ogre Knife was my first New UW green I got from The Darknesses.

I agree with kilkelo, though. Even if it's really fugly - if it starts with "minipe" and ends with the sound that "tree" starts with, people will want it and assimilate it into the minipet economy.

Well... people have been asking for a mini rabbit (like in presearing)... so ANet gave us a mini rabbit.

Seriously though, I don't like it at all and think it's ugly. However, if we end up seeing full-size versions of them with crazed looks, huge claws and a grin that could scare a great white shark... then that would be different.

I believe... NOT owning an asura pet will be special. I won't purchase it.

Star Naiad · Mar 08, 2007, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Where in the history that Anet gave us a playable char as a mini?? someone kick me in the head if i'm wrong.

Therefore i would like to conclude that this mini is not a playable char instead i think this is an enemy char, which we will get to bash in the future i hope.

It takes six weeks to process a subscription. I called and asked when the news first went up on GW.com. The May issue is being mailed out in just a few days.

oh woohoo... yet another mini pet that does nothing but take up space! If these mini pet things so much as did 1 damage or gave me some kind of even lame buff while running around my ancles perhaps then I would start collecting these things.

Which part you don't understand?

Oh, and why they don't fit...
Hmm, good question, wow hard one... lemme see...

Ears?
Eyes?
Mouth?
Looks in general?
If that someone who has posted that asuras are demon-like creatuers is true, and in GW 2 they will be kinda demons...

Does it look like demon?

If you still dont get it look at dwarves and compare

I cant express with words how do I feel about having one of those in my team... I mean asuras...
I guess I will offend players that will play these pokemons... I wish I could help it, but its stronger than me, I just can't look at pikachu and dont kick it in the head, then rip his hear off and eat it...

It makes me sick pretty easily... If you dont know how such things can make you sick so fast go see uhh dunno, some s**t like digimons, pokemons, whatever

And now you're bringing pokemons in GW...

For Balthazar's sake, look- Melandru just hang herself! Thank you GW Design team! 1 god down, 4 to go

Yep, heaven forbid Anet to add a race into the game that is not one of the generic, overused ones. I think it will fit quite well into the game. I don't see why it shouldn't. Just because it looks different to everything we've seen so far doesn't mean it won't fit. I think a variety of different species will add depth to the game, just like the millions of species in real life add this weird and wonderful experience to the world.

To be honest, I don't really see how you can say they don't fit. You've seen 3 continents from the GW universe. Every single land mass on a planet populated by a set of different species has some weird creature on it. I mean, just look at Australia. We have some pretty freakish-looking critters here. But do people argue that koalas or kangaroos or platypi don't fit into the world? No, because it's a ridiculous argument. The creatures evolved in a different climate, in a different environment. The new critters for GW obviously evolved underground, which explains their ears, eyes and incredibly pale skin.

Now, I'm not sure what you meant by this bit:

Quote:

Ears?
Eyes?
Mouth?
Looks in general?

Yep, because none of the other creatures on GW have any of those features. I'm assuming that you mean that no other creatures have these particular ears, or these particular eyes. But again, it's ridiculous. Just because something is different doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

The Asura looks nothing like a pokemon or digimon. If those crappy cartoons had something as awesome-looking as this, I may have actually watched them.

I think a lot of what is bothering most people is the fact that this thing is very different from what anyone has seen in GW so far. It makes people think that the whole game is going to change to suit these creatures, and change is bad and scary.

Also, I think a lot of what is bothering most people is the fact that it looks cute, so they immediately think it belongs in a children's cartoon. And the general consensus is that anything that is childish is wrong. I feel sorry for those people. Being childish can be incredibly fun. I don't understand why absolutely everyone is so eager to grow up, when most of the fun happens when you're a kid.

It's really unfortunate that some people react so badly when they see this new and exciting creature. I think it's great. It's quite original-looking, it's something new to the game, and most of all, it's not a dwarf or an elf.

That was a pointless post....

Anyways, I can't wait to get my copy of PCG! The little dude looks cool, I don't get why some of you keep saying it's ugly blah blah blah. If you don't like it then stop whining about it, don't get the magazine and don't post your useless opinions.

But when you do, you tend to get the past couple magazines all at once.

I must concur, I immediately thought of Dobby from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when I saw it

lennymon · Mar 09, 2007, 02:20 AM // 02:20

for those of you whining about no minipet where you are (immediately after your posts on how ugly you think it is ;P) don't give up hope, you may still get one.

This is some kind of horrid nightmare. More like Pokemon Wars.

I wouldn't mind getting me one of those, but I don't think I have the space to store it in...my storage is a reck, bleh.
