[Suggestion] Interaction with miniatures
This would be so awkward if an ugly, 3 meters tall Norn guy “pets” his little Kasmeer mini lol
is throw an option? dropkick? i vote yes
Yeah dude! That would be awesomeeeeeee <3!
The quantity of options to add is up to arenanet ofcourse. You can make is as crazy as you want^^. Any more thoughts about it?
Many minipets are intelligent species, it might be a bit awkward to be see all the people tickling scantly clad Southsun Kasmeer/Speedo boy.
Edit: A more serious argument against would be the effort it would probably take to create the animation that needs to deal with different size and shapes of multiple races.
Would be nice. Male players would like this too.
Probably not all that easy, though.
Would be funny.
Imagine now: the tall fugly norn coming down to hug the Southsun Kasmeer, shes like “Nope” and runs away :P

Bikini Kasmeer mini being….petted…..by a huge norn. Uhhhh…..
For me, I wouldn’t like/dislike having this in the game. I personally think there’s a lot of other things that need to be seen to/fixed/implemented before things like this are added in, but if it was put in I most likely wouldn’t use it.

I’d love that, then I could take out my frustrations on the mini-versions of Destiny’s Edge and Destiny’s Edge 2.0 without having to track them down in the world.
slap mini Marjery for being useless
kick mini Rytlock for being a belligerent kitten wad
choke mini Zojja for being annoying
curbstomp mini Braham for putting those stupid holy light circles in all the wrong places during personal story
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
They’re essentially toys, not actual pets. So no, I don’t really think the options to interact with them as though they were animals would really fit.
maybe stuff that doesn’t require a lot of character animation changes, like /fetch

I’m all for being able to interact with our mini-pets. However, since many are cats, puppies, and other animals, an option to “throw” or “dropkick” would be a depiction of animal cruelty.
It would not be at all funny!

I wish they would at least let minis have a purpose other than ‘look neat’. If you have a mini have them pick up gold and items in the area to save you some clicks, or maybe you could interact with them like an extra bag, they could store 5 or 10 items or something depending on what mini it was. Being able to just pet them or play with them in some way would be fun as well!

Multifunctional, I like the idea! You could do so much more with miniatures then now!
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
I do agree that mini’s need some work, adding some features to them would be a nice thing to see. In my opinion they are pretty useless right now and although the minislot made it a bit better there is still work to be done to make them worth buying.
Especially when you keep in mind the price you have to pay for some of them. I know they are a bit of a ‘status symbol’, but I’d much rather spend the money in my armor when looking for status.
Introducing options to ‘communicate’ with the pet, as you would with real live ones, would make them a lot more apealing for me. To avoid awkward interactions with the mini’s there should maybe be made a difference in the options to communicate with animal mini’s and human ones, as was suggested earlier, but I do think this will be pretty much work to introduce.
Maybe it’s better to keep it basic and use the emotes some of the mini’s can already do, like waving or cheering. When you target your mini and use ‘wave@’ it waves back or something like that. Considering the amount of mini’s that would need to be animated this might actually already be a pretty big task though.
The suggestion of the mini picking up loot I like alot, but I don’t think this will be an easy thing to develop either. Maybe it could be added to the upcoming expansion?

Nice idea, I agree that mini’s are a status symbol and in that way pretty expensive. Mayby it is a good idea to make them more usefull by starting with basic emotes and communicating skills.
Any other thoughts?
