Miniature movements...

I never suggest ideas because most of the ones I see here sound game-changing and hard to implement, so I wouldn't want to flood the forum with even more, would I!

But, as I was hanging out in Kamadan, I noticed a small thing.
Miniatures! They never stop in one place for more than a few seconds.
Which makes it a bit harder for mini lovers to stop and admire them from close up without having to move about (some miniatures look really cool and detailed when you look a bit closer).

So I thought about a suggestion, although I'm not sure if it's possible:
- Somewhere in the options, have a toggle or a slide bar that lets you adjust the level of movement of your miniature. This could either be:

- Movement/no movement toggle. While in no movement, the miniature would still follow you and keep whatever flailing about of arms and legs they have, but wouldn't walk when you are still.

- Slide bar with most likely 3 settings, 1st being no movement, 2nd being movement every 15 seconds-ish, and the 3rd would be their current movement.

I know things here rarely ever get implemented, and the idea is not exactly useful to those who don't like minis. But I am bored so what the hell..

Fixed it for ya.

but yeah, im not gnna sign because its such a small thing for such much work^^

i think a pet moving once every 15 seconds is a bit dull..

I think it would be cooler if pets had more animations. Maybe like smoking, drinking, sleeping, stumbling, mood swings, etc.

Well, you would have the choice of keeping it how it is now.

It would be cool with a button in town that temporary lets you move around as your mini, while your character just stands still. Press esc or click button again to return to yourself. Limited range of course, outposts only so you can't use your mini as scouts :P

Oh, if you talk as a mini, chat bubble will appear above mini and not your character.

I dont see the point, why would you like to walk as your mini? You got a character for that. And with that talking, outposts wil become a mess with al those high and low flying text balloons

Also would be good if minis started fights with other minis and fought to the death. That would make for good entertainment.

I think you can stop trolling now.
Also, the ideas being suggested here seem more complicated than the original. It's just supposed to be a minor thing.

they did that 2 April Fool's ago... was different but slightly annoying after a while.

I am serious about this... Most minis they would all ready have the attack animations and sounds. Does not sound hard to implement to me.
