In November 2006 I bought a Mini Varesh and was surprised to see she did not carry the Scyth we almost always saw her carry in game. I started a thread and mentioned that I felt she should have one. Apparently Gaile and company agreed. Gaile replied within the thread and in a short time Varesh had her scythe.

Now that Koss has been released as a Mini, I am asking again: Why doesn't he have a weapon and shield?

I have only seen him in town. Unless you tell me that when he is taken out of inventory outside of town he has a weapon and a shield I find it kind of funny. Rurik has his FDS and shield, Shiro his swords, etc. etc.

Poor little guy looks defenseless running around without his weapons.

I like the mini people like Rurik, Shiro etc. but I really think they look better with weapons,........Gaile, any comment this time???

Haha, maybe Anet forgot to put it on again? Or maybe Koss Zergrush Jenkins is so awesome that he does more dmg when he is barehand.

Well, Koss is a hero, so he could have numerous weapons. I guess they decided to not give him any weapons instead of deciding which to give him.

the starter weapons would be the best to give him I guess.

In evey cinematic in the game that Koss is involved in, he is always carrying his starter weapons for me, not the equipment I have on him so that should be easy enough to do. Give him some play toys please Anet.

Yeah, the other day I saw a mini-Asura get upset and claw the nose of a poor mini-Koss to shreds! It was tragic.

Give the little guy a sword and shield so he can stand up to those Asura bullies!

I was going to say that the weapons on both Rurik and Shiro are fixed to the model (Rurik always has an FDS and Crude Shield and Shire always has his set of special swords) which isn't the case for Koss or Varesh (both can have different weapons), but you have a point there, at least as far as Koss is concerned.

Starter equipment?

Forget it!

Koss should be equipped as I have him (though don't use him) at all times: Oni Blade and Bladed Shield. I swear I have yet to find a more awesome combination for him (especially with his 1st-level upgraded armour)....
Ok... so with default armour it might not look QUITE as cool....

But Koss with upgraded armour needs his Oni Blade and Bladed Shield... It TOTALLY suits him. ^_^

Same way I'd never let Acolyte Sousuke go out without his Lotus Staff....

The Mini pets of people disturb me, and I wish they'd stop making them. o.O

You realize he'd have a machete and a paragon tribal shield, so he could very well be better off empty handed.

I think he should really have his starter weapons because there are a thousand and one combinations of weapons and shields he could carry.

I would be surprised if ArenaNet does not correct the oversight on Mini-Koss weapons. Be patient.

I resent the IDS being grouped with the FDS. IDS is teh awesome.
Just let him dual-wield FDS..... or FDS and ... whatever shield Nubrick uses...

Heket has their axe, Lich doesn't have a weapon too so I wonder if he'll get his staff too? Seen like Koss isn't the only minis missing a weapon.

Mini pet's weapon is so important that ANet has to make an update for them but HA's Kill Count problem is so trivial that ANet has to ignore it for months ='(

Poor little Koss... please give him a fds and a shield so he can walk around and look pretttttah!

Maybe he should be given a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

Whats this?! A thread on mini-pets Gaile hasn't instantly commented in??? She must be preparing a reply... chances she's actually commenting on something useful are pretty slim.

I can't see them giving the Lich the Staff. It's a stupid reason, but it may completely give the storyline away to some people who have only recently bought Prophecies.

Not sure if i'd like Koss with his starter weapons. Rurik's FDS was pretty symbolic. Koss' mean practically nothing, looked crap too.

I bet that we will see Mini Koss with a weapon before we see any important change Anet promised.

I think they should at least give him his starter sword to wear. When he does his battle stance he looks retarded without any weapons on.

I believe Koss should have whatever it shows him to have in the; scenes(movies/clips [whatever you wanna call it]).

I think they shud extend it even more. In addition to giving them weapons. I think they should actually act like "mini pets" and do small amounts of damage in battle although the damage would be the same no matter what pet u use. that wud be kool.

I lol'd.

I think this is an oversight, they may fix it when they have a few lunch breaks spare to work on it.

I think mini Koss is the worst mini ever. Why would I want a mini Koss when I have a big Koss that actually does something? They should have made a different miniature, but that's just my opinion.

I have said many times that Chew Chew's mini Bane Signet is what saved the party from total wipe out. Maybe if they used your idea people would start to believe me.

I would personally like to see the minipets run around and pick up our drops for us.

But that's just me.

Varesh is a green, a promotional item. Although it is kind of cheap...the Mandragor is DA BOMB DIGGITY when your character runs away.

@ El Panty Bandito - He holds whatever you gave him, just like humans.

Guarantee that the update that gives Koss a weapon will also cause mass err7's.

Also, you do realize that making this thread will push the ATS stuff back a week, right?
