With the new addition to minipets in the game, there is something that im sure alot of people would enjoy. Most people dont really use minipets and buy them to store in HoM. But what if we were able to add emo's to the minipets, according to what the character did? Say if i made my character dance my minipet should dance as well, and so on and so forth. thoughts?

hmm...Why?
I think most people buy minis for looks or for their HoM.

i just feel the only thing they do is walk around or fly around and follow you, wouldnt it be nice to see them do more?

Not going to happen. A.net would need to create a few dozen new movement animations for each of the... 40+ minipets in existance. That would take WAY too much time to update the minipet's models to allow for that range of motion.

Isn't that the whole point of vanity skin weapons too? To just look pretty?

IF anet was able to do that, they would be able to make armor glow or have animation. Seing it hasnt happen, minipets wont do more.

Maybe for the human/humanoid minipets, but for monsters, no,except maybe a roar or something.

Would be funny to see the Mini Mad King Thorn tell jokes and kill people who don't do what he says though.

anet most likely CAN do that they just simply dont take the time to care

most minipets are resized existing models, so animations would exist for them

Anet already did that once and added the battle ready animation to the minipets.

yes but does general armor do that?

Luminarus · Jun 07, 2008, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Why should general armor do that? You pay more for the exotic stuff that does... but thats irrelevant. Not really worth it, better things for anet to add, and yeah that just about covers it.

FXCW · Jun 07, 2008, 07:14 AM // 07:14

If you just stand around the minipets do have one animation which they repeat, and I don't mean walking around ;P

Supervillain · Jun 07, 2008, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Minipets are like toys...
Most toys dont copy what you do :S

MithranArkanere · Jun 07, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Something quite simpler could be made:
- Make minimets try to mimic the owner's emotes.

Some models have certain animations, other don't.

For example:
- Shiro, Koss, The Ghostly Hero and Rurik will use all Warrior emotes.
- The Greased Lightning will use only the emotes player can use under the Rollerbeetle racer effect.
- Gwen will 'dance' like in pre-Searing...

If the model have the animation, the miniature will make it. If not, it will stay iddle until the player finished the emote, and done.

Etc...

- I agree with him and also that wont happen because theres 40+ minis and it will take more then two months at least to get them all animated. Also they do not have the time to do this type of thing. But yes I wish I this would happen it would be really kewl!

/signed for a new String Puppet Miniature that looks like a silly little joke of a human that characters can carry around when they're idle and will do the emotes that players command instead of the player acting them out.

/notsigned for this thread.
