Minipets Now Without Sound!

Gah! According to the most recent post at guildwars.com (I have yet to check in-game), Mini-pets have lost their sound completely...,

Can someone confirm this to be true? And if so, do they regain their sound in missions/explorable areas? If not, I hath protest, ArenaNet, We love our minipet sounds!! (Nothing better than a mini-kuunvang making flying noises) Make them stay! (perhaps just remove their sounds from towns/outposts)

Thank god they've been shut off. There is nothing more annoying than the cacophony of mini pet sounds.

is this in explorables too?

give our minipets back their voices anet!!!!!

Yeah, I've seen the thread, ... It doesn't address the latest issue of sounds exclusively though.. I'd agree, there should be an option to turn on/off the sound for minipets. Although I can see it being chaotic in towns, IMHO it's kinda nice in the ever-lonely missions/explorable areas...

Update - Wednesday February 14

• Made further preparations for this weekend's Canthan New Year event.
• Removed sounds from miniatures.
• Fixed a bug that caused some titles to display incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that caused some players to crash when loading skill templates.

It was my fave thing to take my Charr Shaman out while I was cartographing Tyria and listen for the "rawr" every few minutes It made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Now... Healbot will have to redesign the pin and have it say "Charr Sez ....."

Mini sounds are annoying. They are the same volume as monster sounds and get loud when someone has their Shaman out when you are running near them.

yeah good, thats the whole point. :P

turn your effects volume down or mute the game all together.

So, yeah, draining all the blood in the body to cure a disease. How practical is that, really?

Actually, Dialisys is a very common treatment

ah they turned off sound in explorable too? I imagine it took some time to program those in in the first place. I know most ppl dont want 20 pet sounds constantly cycling in towns, but isn't this a bit extreme?

That's the point of contention.

Obviously some people did not like the sounds and obviously some people did. They went from one end of the extreme to the other.

Depends if you pay to see a movie would you want 20 screaming babies around you?

this seems to be anerf's modus operandi lately

Zehnchu: we both agree we don't like the crying babies in the theater, but I like to hear the occasional sound of one in an explorable when I bust mine out

It's Destructive was Glaive all over again!

Kinda strange. Wonder why they don't just allow you to hear your own mini's sounds. Kinda like your own footsteps and armor.
