Guild Wars 2

Just mentioning that the gem store suddenly has a Mini Tiger available for 350 gems for those that are interested in it.

This is an odd time for an additional item to be added to the store, so perhaps this may be a sign that more updates will come on randomish days instead of always on Tuesdays. I guess we’ll see.

And for those that only read the patch notes/news page to see what items are added to the store in a patch, yesterday’s patch failed to include the Dread Quiver Backpack item as being available.

I honestly expected the Dragonfly backpack to release with the Glittering weapon set as it shares the same particle effect as the weapons and is of the same style. Perhaps they pushed that one off last minute until a later time and just tossed the Dread Quiver in its place and failed to include it in the news release/patch notes.

Not a full size tiger like the preview was showing it way back then.

It’s nice, but ever since they realeased the mini red panda which is badly pixilated and they never fixed it (to my knowledge. I never bring it out anymore because of the pixilation), I prefer to see these in game before I’ll buy now.

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure this is not the first time they’ve added something to the gem store on a non-patch day and without an announcement.

Either way I always check it every day (that I log in) for new things, mini pets in particular because I collect them.

I have to admit even though I knew it was just a bug I was a bit disappointed that the tiger wasn’t as huge as it appeared in the previews when it was accidentally added to the wardrobe early.
