I would like to see the existing minipets eg. Panda, Island Guardian, Longhair Yeti etc. available for all players.

And what about Glint, Lich Lord and a Sandworm? ^^

A storage option for all these minipets would be very nice too ^^

In the Zin Ku Corridor I saw some rats crawling around. I'd like a Miniature Rat ^^
Some kind of new title also would be nice, I think

i think the dijins would be awesome!
and just normal rollerbeetles or ones that have a different design than greased lightning. now what im thinking what would be the green mini of the series?or a mini stone summit.

But i read in an earlier post about an idea to have one of your characters greens.That would be the coolest thing ever. It would be like an upgraded customization.have a token, bring it to the special weapon smith and then he will customize which item you want and it will have your name in it like greens except they could still be moddable only for that character.(Not just the one thats 2 years old plz lol. make it like the amulet of the mists.)

Mini Beefs (like the ones in shing jea monastery), Mini Cats, like the ones seen as decoration in cantha, or pigs, like the one as decoration in the team arena
Mini Danika,(this would look like a doll^^)
Mini Redemtorist Karl
Mini Pandas, (for everyone now^^)
Mini Canthan Guards
Mini Dwarf
Mini Glint
Mini Jurundu
Mini Abbadon (lol)
Mini Mosquitos (like these used often as decoration, they could roam your character^^ or similar to the green aura, while having the am fah quest)
Mini Grentch (would be fine for the next christmas festival )
Mini Gwen
Mini Afflicted
Mini Merchant/Mini Blacksmith


And now im using the chance to make a good suggestion, because u WILL definately read this ... I would enjoy to be able to have more than one pet with my ranger. the system could be similar to the sigil of capture. "tame pet" could be like a sig of cap. u can only have one pet with you, but each "sigill" has its own name.


i apologize my bad english =( im well in translating it but i cant type/speak it >.<

How many minipets will be made?

Mini Bladed Aatxe - I love these things. Despite not being able to spell/pronounce their name for 2 years.

Mini Shadow Army (Any, personal preference is the Warrior)

Mini Abyssal

Mini Shadow Beast / Nightmare - Best model in the game imo

You take this ticket over to [who-ever] the Weaponsmith and he gives you a selection of weapon types, all green and all inscribable and clean (so you will have to upgrade them yourself as well) and all beginning with your name, so I'd pick (for example) "Elisa Sarendil's [...]", in the [...] box you'd be able to fill in a second part to the sword's name, for example, "Rake". My sword's name would then be "Elisa Sarendil's Rake". These weapons should be tradeable, because the name already links them to your character. And who wouldn't want to have someone call out their weapon in a mission and it actually has your name on?
I'm so glad I went and read a few other suggestions before hitting submit to my post. This was EXACTLY what I was going to say. Copied from a Diablo II LoD quest. Makes your item look somewhat unique from others.

An MTV special made out of your birthday.

MTV's "It's Been A Wonderful 2 Years!"

And they'll follow you around all day, filming you while you boss your guildies around, yell at townspeople, and tell people to their face that they aren't good enough to come to your super special party.

Your Guild Leader buys Ebay gold, so he's totally rich, and he books Shiro and the Sensations for your party to play at the Raisu Palace which normally isn't able to be booked for events. You get a Ostard drawn carriage made of Amber and Jade that's pulled down a carpet made of Tengu feathers.

It's a really cool birthday show until someone gets really drunk and throws up on one of the caterers, then all kinds of hell breaks loose. Necro's start raising minions "on accident", and even Rurik comes and tries to crash the party.

i think a divine aure from a boss or somethink like Diablo2 from the paladin or something like that was very cool. for me it´s doesnt matter if the gift net space or not, but i want to "show" it everywhere not only in towns or something and if its a tile and we cant show it outside, pls make somethink that we always can see "ya... thats my 2 years old char" EVERYWHERE! ty.. ^^

but pls no more mini pets, because i´m sure we will get some new skins on other events like the pig or new peats without a specal reason, like ghostly hero

more than enough minipet ideas hehe
i'd love:

mini-pygme hippopotimous
mini-panda bear (its sad to see the cutest ones turn up in very small supply on 1 side of the world while i'm on the other side )

several have been said before like
mini-gwen
mini-gaile
mini-me
mini-djinns
mini-beetles


and of course, with the total amount of 27 different minipets around at the moment of speaking, and seeing this thread, lots more to come) i'd love to see some sort of xunlai pet stables agent

For my second Birthday, I want a new quest. One that relates only to me, where npc's know me and recognize my past deeds and praise me and shower me with compliments.

Make this quest difficult to moderately hard, solo, and rewarding. Perhaps a weapons crafter at the end who rewards you with your weapon of choice bearing the mods you want, pre-customized, and bearing your name.

Possibly this weapon could be shown in-town, but I don't know how feasible that would be.

If not, I always ask for money on my birthday. 100k sounds good to me, just make sure you sign the card, Gaile.

Disguises would be nice!
This would be a totally awesome idea for a birthday present. i can imagine that this would be pretty difficult to design up and implement for the end of april but maybe 3rd birthday. i think having reusable and tradeable disguises would be awesome. would allow me to spice up my character or change things up once in a while in a whole new way

If we're still going for mini pets this time around I'd be in full support of bringing in more of the NPCs from the different chapters...some of them have great armor like Saidra or Evennia from prophecies.

I think having B-day presents being too useful(such as storage upgrades or new weapons, etc) would risk unballancing the game because new players or players who do not keep the same character for a long time would be disadvantaged therefore i'd be more in support of the birthday presents being something visual like a disguise or a mask or a minipet(with the disguise being my favourite of those ideas) and leave the more useful items for game-wide implementation

Something unique and *mine* - if it's a mini-pet, make it mine (i.e. non-tradeabe) but I'd prefer not have a mini-pet. The idea of a unique name weapon, unique clothing or disguse are good - hopefully one of those is implemented over the mini-pet.

I'm speaking as a minipet collector who has all birthday minipets, plus the CE and greygiant, and more pig than I know what to do with.

NO MORE MINIPETS, please... There are a number of good ideas out there for new ones (Especially gwen), but please, a flood of new minipets is not what we want.

If the 2nd birthday present popped out a gift that could either be a birthday headress, or reusable firecracker or something, and one of the items you could get was a minipet, that'd be cool, but I don't want to see another dozen minipets.

On the same note, I think when taking into consideration suggestions, I think it would be interesting to compare the suggestions of people who's second birthday is coming up to those whos first is coming up. I think there'd definately be something there.

Addendum: if you are going to make a ton more minipets, at least give us minipet storage! thanks

"Gaile, this is just a thought, but is it conceivable to have, for example, a "Signet of Miniaturization"?

One use only, creates a miniature of targetted ally/enemy. "


This ist the best idea! So I can get the pet I want (this is usually what happens on birthdays ).
!!!!No more random pets, please!!!!

But the ideas of the emote, the aura or the weapon are also nice.

If it has to be Minipets again second time round, a mini-Underworld set would definitely be cool...

We need a KEY RING, this would hold a stack of each key in the game and take up 1 inventory slot..Also a CLOSET that holds all our sets of armor in one inventory slot

We have not been saying actual divine aura, just something like it, something that glows around your character or weapons...or maybe a pair of ghostly wings (like the paragon spell casting effect).
Dont panic that we want your divine aura because you were lucky enough to get the collectors edition

Remember the elf potion and the candy corn tonic? How about birthday gifts (suits/disguises/costums) that put you into states like that? Don't make them consumables like the potions, but permanent kits that turn you into monsters.

How cool would it be to get a nice Grawl suit to put on as you go out hammering away? Trapper ranger as a devourer would look funny.

Minipets are cool, and I don't say "stop doing them" (...though please, no more that are only regional!). But, costumes would be cool, yet along the same lines.

But really, the best 2nd anniversary gift TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYS (not just 2 year old characters) would be extra storage -- especially for those things like minipets, dyes, keys...

NO TITLES.

I didn't read the ENTIRE thread, so this may have been suggested before.

For the Yr1 mini's they were, with the exception of Rurik, all enemies.

For Yr2 mini's how about an assortment of mini Hero's and Henchmen?

Also, perhaps mini God avitars.

2 paras and a war is strong aoe [lol]

Whats going on [sup]

IMHO best ideas so far are:

Mini Gwen (must kill other mini every 50 seconds, other minis get resed 10 secs after that. DOES NOT TRIGGER SOUL REAPING)

Mini Aaxte, i like the little guys what can i say?

Chaos dye, Should be tradeable tho

Armor closet

Also id like a mini Phonix that flys around and lands on your shoulder.

I want a mini Flesh Golem! like those you can Summon with the Nec Elite-Skill ... ever summoned it on the min lvl? it looks nearly like a Miniature and hes soooo cute when he scratches himself ^^

In Case you really get a Miniature on your second birthday i would prefer that they would not be given randomly but depending on your class. So every Warrior , Nec, Monk ... would get the same Miniature

First, this new miniatures must be exclusive for the second birthday, i mean they can't appear in first birthday present

- green: Glint
- golden: Gwen, Kormir
- purple: Shiroken, Margonite, Mursaat
- white: up to 8, no ideas, but different mobs from the 3 campaigns.

Also it will be nice to have a small chance of having a special minipet from past promotions (naga, isle guardian, oni, kanaxai, gray giant...).

And as an extra for the second birthday a new title track showing your characters age in this format: X months (Y) (eg: 27 months (2)) the X are the months and the Y the years.

As we all know too well, this adds to storage issues. I doubt there are no immediate plans to have a mini-pet farm, so I say NO to the mini-pet idea.

I think a simple solution would be to add “Character AGE Titles” based on the creation date of the character. These should be Maxed titles, since it will take an entire year for each title to be awarded to a character. This would be another visual Title representation of the “Guild Wars Ancient Characters". This would be an added benefit for those who have nurtured their favorite character(s) since their beginning days.

Just an idea, I’m sure we have smart people who can further elaborate this suggestion.

Edit: Geckoo posted the same idea above while I was drafting my reply

Not more mini-pets, but add characteristics to the ones we already have...

Let each have an attack taken from what they normally would have in-game, animation and all.

- The mini would of course not get agro or anything like that.
- Minis could die from AoE attacks (I can just see the Burning Titan spawning two Fists and so on) and rez a few seconds later.
- The attacks would do one point of damage (whiptail traps )
- If the creature the mini represents has a heal, the heal would be for one hp as well

If we're lucky enough to get mini-me's, let their armor change with ours and let them cast/attack along with us, using the same animations. Watching tiny meteors fall from the sky would be awesome, or a lot of little minions following around my mini-Necro would be FREAKING AWESOME.

Trap/Attack/Spell/Skill effects (Bliind/Bleeding/Weakness/Dazed/Crippled) would not be included in the mini-attacks, just the one point of damage..otherwise these guys would be too powerful...

mmmhh, I hope my english isn´t too bad, he,he :

Giving hats the abilities like armorparts have...like to use special runes to give a hat the same scores a helmet has, for example.(depending on classes of course)
and
I would like to have the possibility to change the color of the fixed-colored armorparts of the armor i´m wearing on that day. What I mean is, for now you can just change the color of one part of armor, the rest is fixed to a color most a kind of grey or brown. So that you have a second slot when using color on armor, the first one to change the typical armorparts like it is and another one to change the color of that parts which are fixed for now.

Age-titles I would like, too

Most requests seem to be for either mini-pets or more storage. How about combining both and giving us mini-pet mules that can carry 20 items each?

It makes more sense to oppose the idea here than anywhere else. You can dispute the intelligence of those best taking advantage of the situation, but it's going to backfire.

At any rate. The "Shiro Aura" would be cool. Maybe one that is class specific/ looks more like a 'blessing of the gods' or something. could be very neat.

(again, if minis are a MUST) =
Don't customize them. I'll probably sell it unless it's mind numbingly cool.
The mini-mule sounds sweet. As does the mini item-grabber. Of course this could be a feature of all minis. I have yet to miss an item of importance because I couldn't get it, might as well let minis serve a purpose without giving you an advantage in combat. I suppose the minis could go for items based on rarity. Greens first, then Golds, then Purple, then blue, gold coins, whites...

I would still like to see a toy box to put our mini pets in or something special to go along with the new sets of mini pets. The disguise has always been a good idea.

As for mini ideas I would like to see,

Mini glint, nightmare, joko, eve, elemental, margonite, jurundu worm, lich, and the various gods
