Guild Wars 2

Wintersday is approaching. I was wondering if we will get Mr. Sparkles minis this year just like before. Oh and just so I understand how you could receive it back then, I saw on the wiki that says “Purchasing 4000 gems total December 2013”. Does that mean, if I buy say: 4k gems this month, will I get Mr. Sparkles during the Wintersday event or something?

No, it does not. Not unless ArenaNet decides to implement and announce the promotion, again.

I hope so. The best minis are the golems.

I would not think it likely. If they do another Gem Purchase promotion, they would probably use something else. Many players already have Mr. Sparkles, and as such, would not be interested.

Time to bring in the mini mystical dragon. :3

I know a lot have but I don’t.

Either that or maybe have a choice between Mr. Sparkles and Mini Gwynefyrdd. Since it’s extremely expensive and a ridiculous click fest to obtain. I mean seriously, they actually expect a human being to manually click hundreds of thousands of times opening Trick or Treat bags??? GG

Maybe a different Golem will come your way…. ; )

I got one last year, but I would fully support it coming back so new players have a chance to get it again.

Mr Sparkles is HUGE. I think he’s the biggest miniature out there. My male Asura is the maximum height possible, and Mr Sparkles is almost as big as he is!

I love my golems too, except… the sound!

They lost their sound F/X waaaaaaay back when. I’ve reported many times and never had any acknowledgement. Only my TOY Golem still makes beeps and boops. I want to HEAR my other golems again, especially their clanking footsteps as they run to catch up with you.

Totally silent metal constructs are just… spooky. Can we get some support here for repairing the busted Golem noises?

Uhh, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you there, Hamfast. The mini golems were WAY too noisy with their “thudthudthudthudthud” rapid-fire steps whenever they ran to catch up with you. I found it distracting and annoying; I’m glad that they don’t make that noise anymore.

Of course, the best compromise is if ANet introduces a new slider/option for miniature sounds, so that players who don’t want to hear them can switch them off.
