2nd Birthday Ideas?

heres a few ideas...
--- A 2nd year old bday skill for your character: dont ask me what will happen
--- A special aura which you can choose the colour of
--- Something unique only your character can have and not tradable
--- Mini Gaile (LOL), mini Mhenlo, Mini me (small version of you)
--- Bday pet
--- Special storage


SPECIAL AREA:
not an elite hard area, just a special area thats similar where we can get special weapons and items for our characters. these items will be customised to those who find them.
This area will be like an outpost and explorable zone.

I so agree with you!

>>> HOT IDEA <<<

mini kai-ying the miniature will also tell you funny jokes about am fah's and other funny stuff

xDDDD

>>> HOT IDEA WHILE WRITING THE HOT IDEA <<<

- The title track could show you how many days are left for the next bday instead of your age (you can actually see it with /age), but it will show your age to the other people. Also the day of your characters birthday it could change the show up text to: "Happy 2 year birthday!"
- When you open the second year bday present you'll obtain 3 items: spiked eggnog, birthday cake (just as red bean cake, but with othe icon and name) and the random brand new minipet.

/signed for 2 years old mini-pet emote

No minipets please...

How about the ability to fly in towns? The older your character is, the higher it lift's of

EDIT: Maybe you know the Zombies in Silkroad... That would be the style of flying that would be cool...

I think for the second birthday you should get something other than a mini pet.. howabout an emote or something that depends on the primary class. when you type /age your character lights up and does something cool.

I dont think Id be too wrong by saying that the majority of active guild wars players have yet to recieve their first birthday on the majority of their characters. Think about the amount of minipets that will enter the game in the week following the anniversary of purchasable character slots for example. We dont need the minipet population get too rediculous..

I would greatly appreciate a Title to show that my character is 2 years old. Shouldn't be hard to do.

The biggest problem about minipets is they take lots of storage space. I think a storage solution similar to the festival hat guy would be great. It would have to work a little different - not cloning obviously but the ability to put the pet in and take out if its there. Should be quite easy technically, as storing 1 pet would take only 1 BIT of data (0-1 value).

An important issue is also that the 1st birthday presents given out after 28th April 2007 should change. They are already very common and I think they should remain some collector value over time. At the time of May the number of minipets may even double - it was 1 year ago when Factions got released so everyone got 2 extra slots which meant 2 new characters. I expect an extreme flood of minipets incoming at that time.

Some minis ideas anyhow:

Mini Smite Crawler - UW farmers would absolutely love this!
Mini Undead Lich - we got Shiro got Varesh only need this bad guy now
Mini Shadow Nightmare - my personal favorite, i always wanted to have one.
Mini Djinn - imho Nightfall lacks iconic creatores but these are quite cool exceptions.

How about give 10 mini-pets so we have to buy more char slots to put all the junk in.

If it should be a mini pet I would LOVE to have a NIAN from the Canthan new Year even quest The Big Bang!
They looked GREAT!

I love them!

would rather have them as a REAL pet !!!

what I'd like to get for my 2nd birthday:
A new special (real) pet
A hero like what Razah was supposed to be: able to be any class!!!
A special emote (takes up less space than a minipet)

I could likely come up with more ideas, but I won't... you get the idea

well , addign mini pets is great, but there is storage issues .

by the way, i will like to see,

mini aatxe
mini flame djinn
mini lich !!!!
mini terrorweb
mini Essence of Phoenix !!
mini Cobalt Scabara
mini Demonic Fortune Teller !!
mini Furnace Guardian !!
mini Seer !!
mini Nian !! http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Nian <- This one owns !

Well, dear Gaile and DEV team, please , for our 2nd Birthday please ADD a special emote that will evolutionate all the mini pets, for example: the mini pet of varesh , if you use the special emote the varesh minipets transform into Tormented/Evil/Bad/ varesh.

Got it ?

Cynn and Eve Please /beg

mini Nian!! I second that idea!

I kinda like the idea of a special emote. For all your minipets, a different emote per minipet.

But i like even more the idea of a divine aura around the head. That would be sweet, and dyeable like that one guy said, [like a chaos axe.]

great idea..
best idea for new minipets are
Mini Dwayna
Mini Grenth
and Mini Balthasar

I personally like the minis so here goes:

mini Ascalon heroes
mini Aatxe
mini Elemental ice/stone one of those
mini Forgotten
mini Glint
mini one of the imps
mini Leviathan
mini Gwen
mini Aloe Seed
mini Storm Rider
mini Avicara/Tengu

more storage?

MOAR BALANCE?

Mini Gwen

That would be nice.. <3

Mini Nian
Mini Djinn (Rubin!)

i want 2 my 2nd birthday a Mini Myself

Some Ideas :

German^^

Hmmm,2nd Birthday persent...it must be something that make you think about the early days of gw....I GOT IT!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~A MiNi n00B~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gold (The rare mini-pet): Mini wammo who uses Healing Hands and Mending every 25 second

Purple (The common mini-pet):Mini w/e who spam's Fire Storm and Flare every 30 second

Mini Toad
Mini Rat

No titles, please. ESPECIALLY no titles that actually affect game play. The five of those already existing are five too many.

Mini Rock/Rain Beetle.

Basically a Greased Lightning w/o the painting on his back. Jusr a PLAIN Beetle please

Come on... no more mini pets. Something more creative. Something more... personal, that's not just another x k gold...

Mini No more minis please...

There are too many of them. And I don't have more space in my inventory

It would be nice to get an 'event' armor finally. Please.

Gwen
Gaile Gray
Lady Althea (she belongs to rurik =)
Cynn

So my ideas:

Written in a topic list >

Minipets:

- Mini-Glint (when pet comes, than is this my top nr.1 wish)
- Mini-Elemental Demon (those earthlikes from NF, not the big humanoidlikes)
- Mini-Terror Dryder
- Mini Margonite Paragon
- Mini-Sandworm
- Mini-Centaur
- Mini-Avicara
- Mini-Leviathan
- Mini-Gryphon
- Mini-Harpy
- Mini-Forest Minotaur
- Mini-Tarantula (forgot the name, those spider-monsters in NF)
- Mini-Mandrake
- Mini-Skeleton (such a undead from prophecies catacombs) *thinks on halloween* ^^

Different Wishes >

Weapons:

Lightbringer Sword (name > "Lightbringer's Hope", a special holy elemental lightsword with angel wings as handle for the hand protector, with a animated skin of a glowing light blade that gleams in the sunlight and has a holy cross within its blade. This sword should be a symbol for fighting against demons and should give a special bonus, when wearing it together with the maxed lightbringer title.

wanted to send it to u ( i mean anet ect, for the weapon contest, but i will be not quick enough finished with drawing. when i could scan the picture only, i would post it here right now.


The same thing with dark element, a dark elemental Sword called "Doombringer's Fear" as contrast to Lightbringer's Hope, with a pure black Blade out of Onyx, with golden engravings of a Moon and some Stars, emmiting a dark purple spiral aura with much black thorns, which look poisonous and deadly

=======

Armor:

special Lightbringer-Armor sets, that give the player, when he/she wears all parts of it a divine full body aura, something that is compareable to the anime "Dragon Ball Z", only looking more holy naturally ^^ and giving to that the character some nice Angel Wings, such nice glowing white wings, as those paragon margonites have them.

or such a nice armor perhaps with 3. birthday ? ^^ ..dunno, but charas should get someday a way to look really powerful, since Nightfall our heroes r "godslayers", dont forget that XD

*thinks of a Warrior with the "angel shield", i mean the aegis, the wished lightbringer sword and with that a lightbringer armor, that gives a nice powerful hly look, when worn with maxed lb-title, woah, what would that be for a nice holy paladin ^^, which dream of much players to have one, but Warrior/Monks are imo only wannabe-paladins, it still gives even for warriors no real paladin-armor T.T, so why not bring it in as Lightbringer-Armor, the situation is perfect and as 2nd birthday present so or so, but please not conformistly for 1 character, let it be for the whole account, till the player conforms it for one chara, to get the full effect of it.

==========

Random Ideas:

about simply 1 new character slot, surely much people would not say no to this ^^
---
special hats would be nice too, or disguises would be great.

disguises into Monsters ,woah would that be magnificent, to transform at example into a Salt foam dragon XD


but more storage would be too great
simply modify more the storage chest, giving it more such areas, as for the materials, so it can be done too, for runes, upgrades, alcoloic stuff and sweets and so on, all stuff, that can be easily stacked together, like keys too

I want something useful.

1. More Storage Space
2. Perhaps something similiar to materials storage for dyes/armor

but since that doesnt make sense as a b-day present.

Howabout something like a random new green with new skins.

Please i want a Mini Undead Lich (Khilbron) that would be nice.

Others:
-Mini Gwen
-Mini Aatxe

I'm also in the camp of not really wanting another mini, and would appreciate extra storage. However, if you're insisting on adding more minis, I'd like to see:

Mini Desert Griffon
Mini Dying Nightmare
Mini Melodic Gaki
Mini Mindblade Spectre
Mini Rain of Terror
Mini Stoneaxe Hecket
Mini The Black Beast of Arrgh

What I'd really find useful and super fun is an extra character slot (c'mon, it's my birthday).

Also, I think everyone should get sombrero's. You can't possibly celebrate a birthday properly without a sombrero.

An Age Title of some sort.

This could be non-maxable as GW could go on into infinity. Must be character based as a reward for continuation of the said character and of loyalty to GW. It would show who the Veterans of the game are.

It could be done along the lines of an Order or a Medal, like a Knighthood, Order of Merit, Order of Valour, etc.

Maybe they could be worn around the characters neck like a medal or a gorget, or a sash/cumerbund around the waist or armband or be shown as per normal titles are.

The older the character gets, the higher up the title becomes, eg: Knight, Knight Commander, Knight Commander of the Guard, etc, etc.

Mini pets were a great idea for a birthday present. A great idea that went south when they didn't come personalized and people started selling them for large sums of money. But that was the past, and we are discussing the future. Straight up, no more mini pets please. Something that doesn't take up storage space and is more personal would be fitting. So far the best ideas I've seen have been the displayable aura and the age title. I haven't had any epiphanies about other possibilities, but with time they may come.

Key Storage
Mini Pet Storage
Armor Storage
Extra Storage
More $$$ Storage
Scroll Storage
Dye Storage
Storage Storage
I'm running out of space for stuff, so storage of anykind would be great!

Mini shambling mesa!
It should be about the size of the mini gray giant since the real ones are around the same size.

A birthday suit would be sweet. Pretty much a candy corn/elf that you can put on whenever you double click the item (it would be a permanent item like mini pet's though)

They should make the mini pets customized for that certain char that had it on their birthday so no more trading and everyone can be happy.

hello

when it would be a mini-pet,the birthday gift,
then please a Miniature Bladed Aatxe, they are "knuffig" (means sweet,is german ^^)

otherwise something special,it must be a surprise
