Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this has been bought up before, but both the mini Moto and Mini Miya despawn if you enter water, nor can the be bought out if you are in water. I guess they just don’t like to get their feet wet.

All the SAB minis work this way, unfortunately.

Their pixels would get wet and would start dripping off the screen.

A lot of minis don’t work in water, especially a lot of the more recent ones.

For the SAB ones in particular, it could be because they don’t have underwater animations since there’s no water in SAB, but there are others that I assume would have underwater animations (like the Dragon Bash ones) and don’t work in water either.

Then explain why my super backpack works underwater. Or my holo dragon wings for that matter (not moto, but since he is a genius you’d think he’d be able to outdo that).

Moto’s state-of-the-art Solid Holography is not approved for submersion in certain liquids.

Does that mean we won’t have SAB underwater weapons either, like ever?

The wings are likely not solid, as for the backpack, due to the nature of backpack useage he likely engineered them to be quite sturdy, but that sort of engineering genius and development spent on non-functional items was likely seen as a waste of time and funds to Moto (Non-lore wise/RP it is probably due to the minis not having a swim animation, maybe in world 3 where it seems to have an underwater component we’ll get some water-stable holos, including underwater weapons by chance).

So in other words, they just haven’t allowed for the mini’s to be submerged (a likely oversight), although other translucent material objects such as the abovementioned SAB weapons, backpacks and even dragon wings, can all be shown in the water.

It could be that autonomous projections cannot handle liquid interference whereas an anchor to a larger mass (the user’s body) permits a greater power input.

Surly Moto being the genius he is could come up with a solution! Come on Moto, pull your act together. Think of the wider audience you could appeal to if you bring the SAB experience underwater. Like, like quaggan!

Sounds more like a feature than a bug.

Cue quaggan patrols with super spears.

And what about Queen Jennah’s Mini and the Holographic Colossus
