Guild Wars 2

Could these changes foreshadow more upcoming ones? Thanks to this change I will use my magic carpet way more often. And the new fun boxes allow you to use the travel item for 2 min possibly to incentive new players to buy them. Personally I would love to have a golem travel item like taimi XD.

can we please get rid of the guild emblem on the magic carpet <_<

I have a feeling the toys are going to be expanded on and very shortly! Incoming “mounts” variety is imminent, get your wallets ready boys and girls!

Yeah it does smell like mounts. Can’t see many other reasons for this addition.

I tried it and the change is pretty good, you equip the travel item, select the new feature and once you get in combat you leave the broom/carpet/drill and play normally. Once you get out of combat about 10 seconds you are on your mount again! ^.^

the only gripe is that the “combat ready animation” messes up and since I dont want this post to be moved to the bug section I’ll make another post about that cuz im sure Anet will fix it

Hopefully they listened to a lot of people’s desire to have more dance books too if they are planning on adding more toys to the gem store.

I really hope not.

Id prefer a non guild emblem alternative if they were to do that

You can un-rep your guild before hopping onto the carpet.

Well it would be fine if i could activate the carpet in wvw, i can activate tonics, but nooooo running around as a dolyak is not as “bad” as flying a bloody floor rug is….

I like the new functionality of these toys. But do they affect your “performance?” As in, are there animations every time you get on or off, like to stop to harvest a node, such that it actually slows you down a bit?

I assume they use whatever speed your character has, be it normal or +25%, but can you use buffs (mesmer signet, guardian staff 3, etc)?

Ha, Asura riding the carpet and readied 2 skill and a staff equipped amuses me. Looks like I’m ready for a jousting match. Good quality change for stuff that hardly saw use.

What I’d really like is to be able to use a tonic while using the carpet…some days I just want to be a Princess Doll or a tiger riding on a magic carpet. I mean my Princess Doll tonic can use a Kite and the Broom so why can’t it use the carpet?
