Just letting people know that a picture of the new mini pet is up on www.guildwars.com
IMHO its ugly as sin. Why can't we get something that looks decent with these PC gamer mini codes? Eh...maybe next time. I for one wont be buying the mag now.
Asura Mini Pet

I'm not too keen on him. cheekbones make him look a bit less cute than he could. But he's not horrible.
Hmm, perhase "Playable races include Humans, Charr, Norns, Asurians and Sylvarians." has a bit more credence?

I think it's cute...."See how far you can kick it" cute, but cute.

the lowdown..
Players will get the opportunity to adopt a brand new, exclusive miniature, the Asura, by purchasing a copy of selected game magazines in North America and Europe. We've managed to capture an image of one of these elusive little creatures, and you can check it out here. The list of regional publications, and their shelf dates, is available here. Several of our media partners will be running more than one feature about Guild Wars, so we will expand the regional publication list to provide additional details as they become available.

Way too cutesy and cartoonish for Guild Wars. Doesn't bode well for GW2 at all.
Silly Warrior

They are getting ready for GW: The Animated Childrens Film, this guys gonna be the main characters side kick I hear... :P
Seriously though, it does look a bit out of place compared to everything else in GW so far. Guess will just have to see what ANet has in store for us...

pink Stitch? nah.. it's not THAT bad. Different races can be very cool as long as the quality of the character creation doesn't go down. If we end up having, say, 1/2 the amount of armor since they need to make a set for each race, that would blow..
thelegendozelda
notice it looks much bigger than a normal mini PEST.........maybe is actually does something? pick stuff up?
jcapulet
That looks more like a creature from Star Wars than Guild Wars 
Kinda cute though...I wouldn't mind having one, it's different.

It is an interesting turn for Anet though, we haven't really had any sort of fantasy style creatures before.

true, true. I like the fact that ANET seems to be trying new things. As long as the quality stays the same & they don't skimp on content/armor/items, i'm happy.

Anyways, on that note...I hate it. GW is not Harry Potter. This is teetering on jump-the-shark territory...especially since they are rumored to be playable.
Playable elves, in any form, is never good.

What I don't like, is the fact that if I want that pet, I'll have to move to the UK or France to get a magazine... -.- You should've made it available in more countries, since you mention EUROPE, I expected to see at least half of the European countries listed, ok Miss Gray?
I mean, South Africa ?! Lol?! Where's Spain and Portugal? We also have lots of game magazines, and I'm sure they wouldn't refuse that...

No way for me to buy a magazine unless I order it from abroad, -.-

People are just getting freaked by how WIERD this is. I know we'll all calm down and learn to love this little fellar. =)

Don't mind the screams, my eyes are bleeding and I need to go rub them with salt.
thelegendozelda
well hopefully it does something, i wish it more like a PET not a mini pest.....but not a pet that fights......just a pet
ghostkai
it's gwen haha

The new mini pet looks like something from "Creatures" an old PC game.
Im sure once the Asura opens it's mouth it will have rows and rows of sharp pointy teeth and rip peoples heads off with its oversized forearms. While singing "I Love you.. You love me!".
"Thats no ordinary looking Rabbit" of a mini Pet.
