I think it would be hilarious to see a little rurik or shiro hacking at a monsters ankles. They wouldn't do any damage but just seeing them try would be enough.
The mini could use a similar AI to the henchies and heroes where they run with you when you run away.
I think there should be a setting that could possibly go along with a slot for equipping miniatures that would make them go on the offensive. This slot could also have the option to not show them, or just have them follow you.
I've seen the others topics about the character slot and that wasn't meant to be my topic but it seemed to go along with it.
What do you think?
Minipet Attack!!

Well as long as its only an animation, and they arnt actually affecting the enemy, im okay with it.

Might cause some lag on slower systems which would be kinda stupid if its supposed to just be a novality thing.

i think if they did have an attacking animation..i think (due o their size) they cause crippling for a short duration of time

Also I think it would be super cool to have minipets fight each other, even if the contest was purely random. Friends could challenge each other in a minipet arena. Which could be a great gold sink. Just a simple text line would be fun "____ attacks ____..." "_____ shows him/her who's boss!" "______ whimpers and runs away." This could give us some entertainment in the outposts and guild hall.

It'd be an awesome feature. I like the idea of letting people have minipet fights in towns and outposts (with some betting, maybe?
), but I don't know how laggy it could be for people with slow computers.

This is a fun little idea that won't affect the game at all on any level. Having minipets in a mission doing random things will lag the server as much as Unwaking Waters does with 16 people (Or AB). It's the little things that makes a game fun... Even if they're really small.

As for the topic, I was unaware of the fact that it had been suggested before due to the fact that I don't view every single topic that meanders through this forum. Perhaps you would be kind enough to post a link for the rest of us to mourn the dead horse. Thanks in advanced.

OK i read the link posted above. In that thread everyone said no to the idea. I think it is because he sugested the the mini give damage and that could change the out come of the battle. But in this thread there is no damage givin and seems that most like the idea that the animation would be fun to see.
So once again

on conditions that it is just cosmetic and animation only.

0dmg might not even be good, because it will still trigger some effects like balthazar spirit's energy gain :[

NO. They are meant to have no statistical effect. They are part of the scenery, basically.

i would love to see them attack, but it would have to be only an animation, no damage, no hit (to trigger balth's sprit, barbs, or anything like that) nothing, only an animation. it would be great fun

I think this is a really cute idea, provided of course as mentioned by many that it remain strictly graphic. Some of the minis already make noise - having other ones make little flailing attacks would be awesome.

I think GW needs minigames, or other things BESIDES seeing your characters same old ass, doing the same old thing. So while it may seem like you're throwing pokemon in GW, it could add to the variety of the game.
Think FF7, overated yes, but maaaan it had some cool minigames.

They're just novelty items, collectors, one time buyers etc. They should'nt attack, if they can attack they can, take your loot, gold, greens etc.
oh and also die!

Ok heres what i dont understand... 80 to 90% of the time you have your minipet out, you never see it, especially in grassy areas or with minions, etc... so youre going to be increasing bandwidth for something youre not going too see and make the lag 3 times worse?

But do you guys realize, that if ANet will make minipets attack (with no dmg of course), that Siege Turtle will costs a LOT more? :P
