Guild Wars 2

Not sure if others noticed, but up until recently, miniatures would follow your character at the same speed your character runs, if not faster. So you’d see this cute little thingy frantically running after you to keep up.

Now, they seem to run a lot slower, so much so that they easily get left behind and end up teleporting to your location every so often. I’m not a huge advocate for miniatures, they’re ok I guess, and not that important of a feature. But kitten it, if I want my mini to keep me company for once, I’d like for it to be able to keep up like it used to.

Was this an intentional change or is this a bug/anomaly? I mean, if my mini isn’t going to be right behind me when I turn around, why have it at all? It’s supposed to be there for me when I do want it around, not half the map away.

No, minis have always been that slow.

Since launch, Miniatures have lagged behind, and ‘teleported’ to keep up. At least, that has always been my experience. There have been a plethora of threads about this fact.

If your Miniature ever kept pace with you, then that was likely the ‘bug’.

Good luck.

I find certain minis follow your character better than others. Other than this, I haven’t noticed any changes that would be worth mentioning on their speed (if any).

Hmm, then maybe it’s just me, because I remember that minis would chase you running really really fast and keep up without a problem up until recently.

You could be overlooking one variable. If you have any sort of speed buff active, your minis will fall behind more often. If you do not have a speed buff active, they’ll probably keep up much better. For example, I find that my Mesmer with Travelers runes on outruns his mini but the mini on my Guardian, without any speed boost active, will keep up.

That could be it. I’ll pay more attention to see if I notice anything different.
