Guild Wars 2

Anytime you pull Ho-ho-tron out, run in the water, he goes away.
Not only myself, but others I am sure would love a fix.

Not every mini works underwater and Ho-Ho-Tron just happens to be one of them. It’s not really a bug.

Ho-Ho-Tron is not able to go into water because it reminds him too much of his time on Southsun. The memories are too painful and he just shuts down as soon as he gets wet.

Many creatures in game lack swim animations. Most of the minis are the case of such. (Like centaurs) This isn’t a bug, mostly just a byproduct of incomplete creature animations, which in order to avoid causing issues, simply were despawned upon contact with water instead.

It does make since they didn’t add animations to creatures when they go in water, cause I have certainly at times brought some creatures in water & they freeze up & “float” back to land in statue form.

Well I do hope they eventually work on the animations, at least for mini’s sake, only after they take care of more pressing game issues.

(Nice Danikat +1 lol)

Jack-a-lop used to have awesome swim animation, and it was removed. At least keeping a robot covered with wintersday lights out of the water makes sense.
