Gwmaster

fenix
ugh that looks so bad.... I really hope that isn't a playable race. I hope we can kill Asura, his friends and family, over and over in GW2...something that stupid looking shouldn't be alive.

C´mon this creature is not so bad we are just tired of playing as humans for too long, at least i am. GW needs some fresh air and races are a must for playability, durability, etc.
Imho minipets just need to be more active i guess, like for example why not making them pick up our loot from the ground? if you don´t want it to pick the loot then on the menu just an icon could toggle that. And what about if minipets could use one monster skill? that would be cool, each pet would have a skill to use in combat to aid its master and allies.
I bet that if this Asura pet had some abilities all ppl would say WTB Asura pet 100k 50 ectos

Concerning the minipet..if people like it they can get it, if people don't like it then why have a response like this..I mean it doesn't affect you in any way.
I personally don't really like how it looks, so I won't get it, simply as that.

Many of you say you dislike the Asura race and that is wouldn't fit in with GW.
Well I found this drawing on a Thai site on Asura armor, really hope Anet draws inspiration from this.

^ that would be an armor set I would buy.

That drawing is so far off-topic I can't even express how OT it is...
So some guy in Thailand draws his interpretation of a legendary Hindu creature, and this is relevant to GW how?

I like him. He's got personality.
Also, he's about ten thousand times more original than an Elfy McPrancySparkle.

that is beyond ugly. things like that shouldnt exist. shows how much research anet does into stuff they create. if they did any research they would have found out most hate it. does make you wonder what else they are not researching.

Personally I do not care what is added or removed from the game. I am here for the fun,challenge and to hang out with my guildmates and friends. Far too many people have to nit-pick everything Anet does. These gamers have their own ideas of what Guild Wars should be instead of letting Anet make their game what Anet wants it to be. Anet does a great job listening to the public and the things that they have added and are planning on adding to the game shows that. Far too many gamers are getting emotional over things that they believe they should have total control of. Anet, never mind these nay-sayers. Just keep up the great work and do what you want to do. And btw I am getting the little ugly thing just because I can.

I'm still undecided on this littl' guy. I saw him in-game last night, and I must say he doesn't look as cartoonish or gimicky in-game as I had feared he would. And his growly face rocks! While he still looks a little out of place to me, he is growing on me.
Griefers would do well to remember we have no idea how the asurans (sp?) will fit into GW -- neither in terms of playability and friendly vs enemy, nor their surrounding environment/"homeland". Perhaps they look out of place because they are -- being nocturnal/underground creatures as has been suggested. I'm certain ANet is gauging the community response and would take that into consideration in future decisions concerning these strange looking little fella's.

Gaile, please make it able to do /fistshake
and oh, getting one in Finland wouldn't hurt either.
But don't take this too seriously, I don't want to sound like a whiner.

Out of the 107 posts here: -
% not relevant = 41%
% disliking it = 36%
% liking it = 23%
Hmm looks like the majority hate it. I truely doubt that the in-game thoughts on it would change so much as give the majority of the opinion held by those liking it.
Now what is worrying is Anet are using this mini pet in a magiazine to obviously give Guild Wars advertisement. Real nice using something which the majority hate as a marketing took. Would be like showing off warriors in a magazine which have wooden bucklers, short swords and 1.5k male knights armour. At least use something which is appealing to the majority to show off guild wars. I think more pcg mags would have been sold if there was a huge liking of it. I mean look at how many people liked the ghostly hero mini pet. Something like that would lead to a hell of alot more sales than the asura one.
As a bday mini pet it would have been fine. But the fact that it is put in an international magazine which could attract new players to guild wars I do not think is fine. Now for example, a much more visually attractive mini pet would have been used e.g. ghostly hero then that would have been great. Sure it would boost pcg sales but there was the potential for them to be boosted further with a nicer looking mini pet.

I like it. I can hardly wait until I can get mine.

For the record, the original reactions to the Asura were HIGHLY colored by the stupid rumor that it would be a playable race.
I have no doubt that if it would've simply been introduced as yet another monster that we were going to beat up on, made into a minipet, instead of a possible look into the future of your PUG companions, it would be much more popular.
Really, that Inquirer article shafted the little guy big-time.

Why, do you think the majority of in-game players would like it?

There was a time where people were whining about 6vs6 hoh, and some smartasses like you went saying that the majority hated it based on the number of whiners that posted in the thread.
There was afterwards a poll, to vote for 6vs6 or 8vs8. Do you remember the results ?
Fact is, most people that likes it just don't go around posting how cute it is, only whiners post.

When they allowed minipets in town, they had sounds. The majority that posted complained, a few didn't care and a small handful liked it. Until they took the sounds away, then the majority complained, a few didn't care and a few liked it.

And your example is wrong. The first part is correct, the second part isn't. AFAIK, it's the inverse: The small few complained, a few didn't care, and the majority liked it.

Pretty ugly imo

hehe it looks like britney spears. well mini britney anway

And, as I said, the majority. I was not incorrect in what I stated. Even if just "a small few" complained, the ones that did, at the time, were the majority. We're talking about majority of who was complaining, not the actual number.
Either way, neither of them are proper examples of "the majority do or do not like" something, because the sample numbers are far, far too small. That's the point.

I like it, especially in 'battle stance'. I'm definately lookin forward to gettin one.
Chop it Off
i think its cute.
i would just think that when my backs turned that things trying to figure out how to murder/mame/eat me lol.
me getting one depends on how aquiring it goes. if it goes like the grey giant, requiring the purchase of the next chapter, then no, i wont get one. because me purchasing chap 4 is still up in the air.

Just look at this thread for instance. A few dozen kids flying by just to post their "witty" insult. We get it already, you dont like it.

How sad... finally they start putting real work into facial expressions, and the first thing it's applied to doesn't appear to belong in the game. I hope they put as much detail into its death sequence. Brains spilling from a crushed skull, gaping chests wounds, that sort of thing.

More on-topic, I guess I would be less annoyed if the Asura turned out to be an enemy. But that's unlikely, since the Inquirer article has been proven not to be completely false.
