Can someone explain to me what exactly pets do? I see them standing around people in various areas, but is that all?

I dont really care about the character itself, Im just thinking about how the model itself is alot better quality then most in games stuff.
Though I think most people are over reacting, just lke when they thought inscriptions would destroy the economy
Though Id like to note its nice seeing something like that, it has a little more style. Guild wars has decent visuals, but they dont stand out too much

Well, I do not care for minipets.
I think it is ugly, but i fear it might become a player race and this would be a reason to move to another game for me.

Are you serious? Just because of a little harmless fellar, you would move to a new game? Sheez, that seems absurd to me.

Awww, I think it's cute! It looks like a combo of Stitch and Dobby from Harry Potter.
FeuerFrei

How about we can tar it, feather it, string it up, impale it, set in on fire and sync dance while it burns? I could get into that...
Scythe Of Thunder

Wait, no one compared this to WoW in some obscure way yet? So far we've got a Harry Potter reference, Gremlins, Star Wars, Disney, and the ever-present "jump the shark" doomsday comments we tend to see in every thread. Get on the ball, people. It's got pointy ears... doesn't that make it exactly like a Night Elf? ANet is obviously selling out and hurtling every shark in the ocean between here and the Ring of Fire Islands.
I'm starting to think most folks here just love to hate stuff, and post about it. Do you even enjoy Guild Wars? If so, why not have a little faith in the creators? I admit I don't want a "cutsey wootsey" playable race in GW2 just as much as the next guy or gal, but we have no idea what ANet has planned, so how about we just chill out? Save your /notsigned macro for when we actually get some info.
Although I don't even care much for mini pets, I will say that the texturing on the model is one of their best, imho. However, I'll be buying the magazine for the ARTICLE. *gasp*

Asura i love you if you make me rich!
off-topic: Although Anet is moving into new direction I wil always have faith in them since they bring up so many happy memories ( Events - Gifts - new PvP style ect.)

ghostkai

Retribution X
WHat happens If my ele gets really hungry and eats it?
If that is a playable race, My faith in ANet just got poked with a Nuclear bomb.
I wanna tar and feather it, burn it and sync dance ON it's corpse. GG Lil Thingie that looks like a terd.

Wikipedia:
In Hinduism, the Asura (Sanskrit: असुर) are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes referred to as demons.
In its Buddhist context, the word is sometimes translated "Titan" (suggesting the wars of the Greek gods and Titans), "demigod", or "antigod", none of which is entirely satisfactory. The closest analogy in European traditions may be the Norse jötnar, who range from the semi-divine to the monstrous, are sometimes at war with the gods and sometimes married to them. But the usual translation, "giants", is small improvement on "Titans".
Because of their passions, rebirth as an Asura is considered to be one of the four unhappy births (together with rebirth as an animal, a preta, or a being in Naraka. The state of an Asura reflects the mental state of a human being obsessed with force and violence, always looking for an excuse to get into a fight, angry with everyone and unable to maintain calm or solve problems peacefully.
In terms of power, Asuras rank above humans but below most of the other deities. They live in the area at the foot of Mount Sumeru, at least partially in the sea that surrounds it.

If its head spins around and randomly spouts demonic jargon I might consider getting the magazine. Otherwise, meh.

Yeah sure, that really promotes a good environment between people of different countries.
A.Net you really don't have a clue about what you're doing sometimes, heh?...

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. |

All things considered, especially Inde's post on Asura, I am going to go with: Don't judge a book by its cover. I know far to little to jump to obscene conclusions. Sure its an ugly little bugger, not really cartoonish, but who knows what it might be able to do.
If it turns into a titan... I don't care what it looks like, I want to be a bloody titan!

I think it could be great. These little possessed and demonic creatures that look cute and innocent and then UNLEASH! I want to see what they're like. A recurring theme is that they are violent.

So your philosophy is that if someone, in some particular game, chooses the elf race, is automatically immature?
Or is it a rule for the "good players" to look unappealing ?
I always thought that our own actions define who we are...
KiyaKoreena
It's different then the things we have seen so far, the big eyes make it more on the cute side then other things we have run into. I like it and can't wait to get mine.

Just wondering if this is some kind of April Fool's joke?
April 1st is a Sunday.. the magazine goes on sale in the US in the following week.
It just looks SO un-Guild Wars..
If it isn't a joke, I'll probably get one anyway :-)
BTW.. It kind of reminds me of Max, the hyperactive sabre-toothed rabbit from Sam and Max:

It's a stereotype, yes. But be prepared, because the immature people who roll Elves do come en masse.
Of course, the Asura may be different, because they are ugly (and if Inde's right, that they turn out to be primarily demonic). But we'll see.

I personally don't care what people think but what the hell, I like it. I looks indeed really cute, and it might be an official sneak peek towards the new chapter, because where does this little guy actually appear in the current lore? So I might be a new intresting creature which will play a role in the upcomming chapter, I just can't wait to when Anet release more info about the new expansion.
