Wait, so the PCgamer mini-pet is available to everyone?
Tozen
They made it sound like a quest reward in the article. Seeing as we get to play in the PvE event too, does that mean that we could it?

Meaning the Following:
No, you ahev to buy a US version of PCGammer, (This novemeber's Edition) The Access Code will be written on the inside of each issue.

And As for the "British Readers" HA! Tough luck! Allready you are always favoured with Extra Junk With the Pre order and CE editions of the games that are already out. It may be Junk, but its junk we don't have.
And I say it again HA! Tough luck.

You probably won't even see a exclamation mark above the NPCs head if you don't have the key added to your account. You'll just see some useless NPC that everyone but you is talking too

Everyone gets to play the pve event; don't need a magazine for that. I'd like to see the pet Europe will be getting; but that's probally a few months off.

it would be fun to have 2 different pets but think of the problems.
with more NA players that means more of that NA minipet lowering its value compared to the rarer EU minipet.
not to mention all the yells of *they got a better minipet*
Knightsaber Sith
I thought he said somewhere that it would be different; but I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Problem with Europe is... there's LOADS of different mags, and then there's all the different languages...
Anyways, i'm hoping that if they're doing it for a Benelux mag, that it'll be PCGameplay and NOT Power Unlimited... PCGP prefers GW whilst the PU is just full with WoW fanboys and never mention GW (whereas PCGP actually mentions both from time to time, and sometimes even devotes multiple pages to discuss certain things, without creating any sort of hype)

According to this; the European magazines with the minipet should be out before the pve preview about the same time as the American magazine...

hmmm confirmed Dwarf for euros, eh? Is that fact or fiction?
If its true; for once, Im glad to be american :P
I hate dwarves- especially after reading some WoW fanboy posts earlier...
At least its not elves. I hate elves.
Dang, im all excited to get that PC Gamer- but even if I do get it right away, its halfway useless for another month (yeah we can 'see' the GG but whats the point lol ;P)

That wasn't a Grey Giant. That was something else I can't remember right now (it's in the November PC Gamer, if anyone has it).

Gaile's exact words on that topic (lavishly copied&pasted from the german forums she originally posted it)
and the second quote
Smileys were incompatible.
Due to the release shedule and deadlines of ALL german magazines, it is however highly unlikely that the minipets will hit Germany before the Preview Event.

News Flash! I wanted to give you a happy update about the mini-pet for the World Preview Event: We had another "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments here at the studio. And so now, the Gray Giant will be in the World Preview Event and accessible to you if you have a code for it. (And yes, we understand that codes will be available in Europe!) What this means is that you can take the little creature out for a romp the weekend of September 22-24. Now, keep in mind that the mini-pet will be reset when the characters are reset, but you can reacquire him (her?) (it?) upon release of Nightfall by typing the command, "/bonusitems." I hope this is helpful information, and apologize if the earlier post caused any confusion. The dev team just keeps adding cool new facets to what we're doing, and it's hard to keep up! Take care, everyone, and I hope to see you during the event! __________________ Gaile Gray Community Relations Manager Guild Wars & ArenaNet |

Oh, well, this is a busy day for ArenaNet! The latest news I have is this: The designers have made it possible for the Gray Giant mini-pet to be available during the World Preview Event on September 22nd, as you know. You'll most likely obtain quest instructions through the magazine that offers the bonus item in Germany. (And as you are aware, our NCsoft Europe partners have arranged for publication in several areas of Europe. ) Here is the new information: The Gray Giant will be part of a quest in the game. When you complete the quest during the WPE, you will get a prize that reveals the mini-pet. But as you know, all characters will be reset at the end of the WPE, and of course you'll want your mini-pet back. Do not worry! Upon release of Nightfall, you will be able to again do the quest that earns you your mini-pet. When you receive the pet after the release of Nightfall, she (he?) (it?) will be yours to keep. I hope this is helpful information, and I apologize that I am posting this in English. Oh, one more bit of info to answer Mpidemie: You will be able to make both starting role-playing characters and PvP characters during the event. __________________ Gaile Gray Community Relations Manager Guild Wars & ArenaNet |
