I think the smallest Ive seen are always female monks and the largest are male warriors. My monk doesn't even reach past their knees!

Logging on today I had a madeleine moment, thinking I was back in the days I used to play an agent in Anarchy Online (the agent profession had a line of nanoprograms - Anarchy Online "spells" - that, among other things, made you way smaller than normal characters)...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane (and successive hilarious moments) ArenaNet!

Gaile was in ID 1 of LA earlier and mentioned it was about the normal scale of the player...whether she is right or not...no one knows
Just from looking at my guildmates and myself, it seems like it's based on the normal scale but exaggerated. For example, a character that might be slightly shorter in the game is now a stair-step down in miniature. It also seems to be scaled by height increments, rather than preserving the exact ratio between characters.

So it's not directly proportional but it does seem to be based on the scale in the most absolute sense.

That's an epic screenshot indeed! But that Ele looks normal sized. I don't think it's perspective, either, so that's kind of strange, too, unless that's a mini or a Henchman Tonic I'm not familiar with, and it seems way bigger than the normal variation.

Thank you.


I thought my necro was small but she's a giant compared to my monk.

I think you're underestimating quite how small the mini monk is:

Was very very scared when i first entered LA today because the last time a normal sized young Gwen was there, she burned everybody alive and the town down. She also told me that she didnt like me.

Some ambitious person could have a lot of fun creating a short trailer for "Clash of the Titans" with these effects and the right minis.

This is my theory. Last year for April Fool's Day we all turned into Mini Gwen Dolls before the Mini Gwen Dolls existed in game. This year we all turned "mini" for April Fool's Day so I think that the Green Mini will be what people on these forums call a "Mini Me" minipet.

No. Polymock should have gone along these lines. An actual fight to the death. If your mini loses, it gets deleted. No respawn.




By far the best event period that GW has ever had. I wish it would have lasted longer. The three minis that I thought were awesome were
#1: greased lightning (the details were very well done, the artist at gw who did the beetle did a fantastic job)
#2 kanaxai (who knew it had so much animation all over the body and the axes? amazing)
#3 ... i forget, they were all very cool

Worst:
#1 Panda and reskinned Polar bear (he is a vampire or a were-panda? why does he have fangs? yuck)
