Guild Wars 2

I’m proposing a new, revolutionary mini game that spans the world of Tyria and will send you all back into the open world.

1. Every mob in the world, including the bosses, will have a tiny chance to drop a SKILL TOKEN. The skill token contains within it one skill belonging to the mob that dropped it. For example – flame breath in the case of a river drake.

2. You can apply that skill token to any suitable minipet you possess. This way you TRAIN the minipet to USE that skill. Congratulations, now your minipet can use flame breath!

3. Each minipet may only learn up to 5 skills.

4. In every city there is an ARENA where you can enter TOURNAMENTS, using your minipet.

5. Your minipet will use the skills you trained him to use to fight another minipet in the tournament.

6. During the tournament, you can press 1-5 to use a given skill. The pet acts on his own otherwise. You can also order it to dodge.

7. Skills can be upgraded to the next tier, if you use the same skill token again. There are 10 tiers, at tier 10 the skill is twice as strong as the base one.

8. You may use the mystic forge to TRANSFORM skill tokens, mixing their effects randomly. For example, a skill that deals direct damage, and generates a poison cloud, mixed with a skill that creates a fire field and applies a bleed, may result in a skill that deals direct damage and causes a bleed, or one that generates a poison cloud and a fire field, and so on.

9. This does not require new animations, just a basic attack animation on the minipet, that will trigger any skill. This will simplify implementation.

This can be extended / improved in many ways, but you get the basic idea I hope

Haha, this sounds fun, +1

Haha, I was thinking of suggesting something like this myself.

pokemon! catch them all XDD

Hm… Polymock…

I’m going to get Twiggy. He’s going to be the very best, like no one ever was.

So…Pokemon/WoW companion battles? I’m fine with it. Just make sure it’s as intricate so it’s worth it and the art style is beautifully presented in battles. AKA, make a mini game that’s a new game in itself.

Could possibly add some gem store extras as well, for example – unlock the ability to have your minipets display a little guild emblem in some way while fighting. They could have a little pole with a flag strapped on their backs perhaps (the art team can probably come up with something good!)

You could also add some kind of ranked match system as well as “friendly” games. A practice mode against AI would be good too.

If you’re a highly ranked player your pet could display a small medal next to it’s name, like the map completion star (but smaller).

The system could include a set of achievements and some titles too. Possibly opportunities to earn a special bonus pet as well.

As Daboris says, it would have to be a detailed as for example, Pokemon.

It’d be all for this if someone would give Regg that extra spacial discombobulator he needs to get the Asura Gate to the Polymock Arena working!!!

I would actually love to see this added. It sounds like a lot of fun, and it would encourage players to enter their cities more often. This is actually one of the few things that would encourage me to spend gems on mini-pets.

New things to do harm no one. The more choices people have, the better.
