I realize this is a nOOb question but when do the CE pets get released. I have CE and no minipet. Do I only get it on my 1 year or at some future date?

Actually I think its 10 days from activating your CE account key, as there are a few people around the forum with screen shots of their dragon already.

2. you dont have CE and you're planning on buying it.

if you dont fit under any of those catagories, then there's nothing for you to worry about. it's not gonna change anything else in the game very much at all, and it'll disappear just as fast as it comes.
now, on the other hand if you do fit under one of those, then it's your decision to be affected by this, and you shouldnt be blaming on anyone else but yourself.

I will be getting a dragon mini, and the only thing its gonna change in my game is the fact that I will have a cool new collectors pet.

If it's jealousy that drives your argument, then theres nothing left to argue.
I've gotta quote this post again, because it's dead-on. This one post really needs to be read and re-read by everyone in here. When the economy of the game is predictable and meaningless like this, economic concerns of new items are equally predictable and meaningless. lol. The concerns are criticizing the cycle of the economy. Not the items themselves.

I think you are on to something. Forget these collectable mini pets, lets get collectable mini Anet employees!

I wonder if you'll be able to have two pets at once? The CE pet and also birthday pet at 12 months?

If you want to effectively give ANet $120, that's your prerogative. I, and I'm sure many other ppl, have no plans on doing that. Fortunately for me, that's the very thing I managed to avoid doing, essentially getting to have my cake and eat it too.

You know I just realized in that screenshot of the Kuunavang on the GW website, that the dragon was Photoshopped into the picture with the Ranger. There is an area on the left wing on the edge that gave it away. Ive worked on Photoshop every day of my life for the last 8 years, so I have an eye for this stuff. He may actually look different than that in reality. By different I mean I am expecting him to be much smaller. In that pic he is as big as her and I definitely don't believe that will be the case. Otherwise it would be way too distracting for other people on your team.

Kuunavang Auction.
So far he's had 11 bids, and it's up to 690k.
I expected to see some go up for sale, but to start an auction before it's even implemented?

Now hang on a sec... the CE Mini-pet isn't even ingame yet and people are bidding for one already. Whole thing seems stupid if you ask me.

I for one will be keeping my CE mini-pet, paying over 700K for one seems completely insane!

Yeah. If I sold mine I would FEEL terrible. I want to make sure the little guy gets taken care of.

Plus... what if I get something like a devourer for my birthday pet... Not that devourers are bad for any of you that got them... but, I kind of hate them.

BTW, all I really want is a Hydra or Bone-Dragon. If I get something like Rurik, I will gladly trade someone.

Read all reply >.< for 20 minutes ~

Just want to talk about Miniature Kuunavang ^^
First I would like to say thanks to ANet & NCSoft for upcoming gift.

Some Minipets Features:
* Minipets will stay forever
* It is possible to trade, give, sell or move the item
* Only one miniature active at one time
* Etc

Point to player only can activate one miniature at one time and Miniature Kuunavang is a special miniature for Factions CE users.

My question is 1 year old char or more will get a miniature gift present this include char with CE, it mean Factions CE user and 1 year old char will have 2 miniatures but will not able to use both at the same time. Why don’t team developer make a solid gift to Miniature Kuunavang so both b'day miniature and Miniature Kuunavang can be activate at the same time?

I have some answer in my mind but not so sure about it, I would like to know about other people opinion about this.

Hellz ya. The art book itself is worth the extra $20. I was blown away. The soundtrack & extra downloadable music, the stickers, map, new dances? Awesome..

THE DRAGONS ARE STILL BEING CODED.

no need to do anything they say it will pop int inventory so be sure to have a open inventory space for it

well this sucks. i had a CE preordered and paid off. It got delayed, but because I love GW so much, I bought regular edition. Now this bs? An item other players gain to showoff as well as can make a killer off of? that's a load of crap.

yes, damn us for shelling out an extra £20 and getting anything extra for it. Especially damn those who are paying the extra £20 but waiting til 30 June for it. How dare they try to compensate.

Sure its annoying, but its not anets fault that people are so stupid that they'll spend all their savings on minipets. Besides, its not out yet, maybe they'll read these or see the auctions and make the dragon non-tradeable.

i didnt know a dragon was coming but decided i wanted the CE more than a week of Factions as i still had Tyria to play in while i waited.

this was a sorry for keeping you waiting gift and completely unexpected.

you were too impatient to wait so dont blame Anet for being generous to those who got stuck while you had your fun

too impatient? more like a loyal customer. i said "screw it, im not gonna wait ANET deserves my money and they shall get it NOW". they were making money off of me sooner than with you.

It isn't even so much that, it is the principle behind it. Next Guildwars game that does come out, I hope they let us all Ebay 500k or something, as a "thank you for being so patient" gift.

Sooner maybe, Canook, but they're making less off you. Unless you happen to buy the CE as well. If they get more money by waiting a couple of months, they're not going to mind; more money is the key for companies.

lol is that true? haha! Anet comes out with the announcement.. "sorry the ce is going to be delayed", and the first thing you think of is "dang! the ce is going to be delayed, I better go out and by the standard one so they can get my money asap". *cant... stop... laughing"

even if your not kidding, your 1 in a million... if i were you i would quit complaining here, and go direct to anet with your story.

I can picture it now "a-net i just wanted you to have your money right away, so i decided to not buy the ce, and now that your giving a gift to all the ones who had to wait, i would appreciate it if you also gave me one, cause really I just did it all for you".


but i bet that's not really what happened is it? i bet you found out you couldnt play the game on release day with the ce, so you went out and bought the standard game so you could play it right away. i'll bet you did it all for yourself. And now your regretting it, and your trying to make up for it by reversing the story.

kk... i know you werent all serious about that, but... well... ya i can still reply like this. pwnt.


hate to say it, but jealously is what drives your complaint.

its not a-nets fault e-bay has anything to do with guildwars. they do their best to keep the ebayers away. believe me.

No - the thing is there were a lot of us that had preordered and wanted CE, but could not get it. I don't know what others were told (this was Best Buy), but they told me it could be a long time before they get it, so yes I got the SE. Wanted CE (Did not mind spending the extra money, because I planned on it) - but thought I wouldn't be able to get it. So yes - now I'm quite upset. I've posted a few times about this, ranted to Anet (told me I could buy another copy of Factions to add a CE - how helpful), so now I'm done complaining. No mini-Dragon for me But - there will be so many now, I'm not really too upset anymore. Will be a novelty for a week or so, and than everyone won't care. Cool to collect though - kinda like Pokemon
