I think there should be more chickens.

How difficult would it be to add some chickens to the home instances? For example, in the Rata Sum home instance, that open area near the portal is a prime place for some chickens. You could gather your harvesting nodes, look at the chickens, then run up and do your quartz crystal conversion. The view from up there would be decent too.

Some of you might be concerned about the chickens suffering mental trauma from never knowing if the ambient killer daily is on or not. Whenever you come through the portal, they’ll wonder if today is indeed their day to die. I’ve thought of a solution for this too. The chickens could be friendly. If I recall correctly, this has been done other places in the game, so why not with these chickens?

Think of the possibilities.

Doesn’t Lyasa at Fort Salma sing about chickens?

“Chickens peck and chickens munch,
Chickens cluck and chickens crunch,
Chickens flap and chickens croon,
Chickens on the table soon!”

Her cheerfulness while singing that song amusingly contrasts to the nearby moaning of doom and gloom by the adult Quaggan refugees currently staying at Fort Salma.

They should add a chicken pet. I’d totally use that.

keep your filthy pecking worm eating flammable clocking food rations away from my asura’s home instance! Applied development lab is a lab, not a farm! No chickens in asura home! Or sylvari one for that matter! Charr seem to love eating them (“Meat” or “Meal” named chicken in town of Nageling:) and humans…well they got straw sticking out their boots anyway…Norn? I think they eat bears..for appetizers. But only good chicked for my pointy teethed genius is a fried one!

Those chicken vets in Malchors Leap are kitten vicious!

I watched two of them chase some poor guy half way to Wren waypoint and mess him up when they caught him. You can never just fight one or two of them when you stand your ground by the chicken coops. As soon as you hit one the others are on you like stink on poop.

You are welcome to keep them from your Assura’s home instance but please do not deny the Sylvari this rich source of nutrients. Chicken guano is excelant for growing healthy plants and as some plants are carnivorous, so it should come as no surprise that some of us Sylvari are not ashamed to admit we can enjoy a chicken or two.

I would add that a few ducks, geese and turkeys would not go a miss, also pheasants could be added but only if their AI was set that they always ran towards the AOE.

Would be pretty cool if they added something useful to the home instance, I agree. We really need Guild Towns though. xD

No chickens in asura home!

How about Robot Chickens? It would be very much in-theme for the Asura…

I love ambient critters so I welcome all chickens.

I also would like snakes back and I wonder why WvW is the only place ambient kittens are at. :o

If I absolutely must slaughter chickens for Ambient Killer, I go to the N supply camp in WvW Borderlands. There’s usually small groups of 4 – 5 chickens hanging around the houses. The nearby NPCs don’t ever say anything about me slaughtering their animals either, for some strange reason.

You don’t want chickens. You think it’s a fowl idea. That’s okay. Everyone has flaws, even severe ones, and I essentially forgive you because you just haven’t understood why chickens yet. It is still positive to see you point out some of the versatility inherent in chickens.

I have an idea that would fit the Asura lab and still allow chickens.

Step 1
There are chickens.

Step 2
One of the chickens is named Unfortunate Krewe Member.

Step 3
Some days when entering the instance, that “chicken” gets zapped by a giant lightning bolt. This makes it grow absolutely huge.

Step 4
Another krewe member comes running to the electrified chicken and says “you’re a big chicken!” while the other chickens are like what? or something. Maybe they pause and drop a little seed they’re eating.

Step 5
The big chicken starts to chase the krewe member around. Eventually he catches him and knocks him back. The big chicken then becomes a vendor (but it’s of course still a big chicken). It sells a giant chicken potion for 100g. That’s quite cheap to become a giant chicken, but chickens are generous. That’s nice.

Step 6
When you drink the potion out in the world, other chickens will follow you. Because you’re big. Chickens like big chickens.

Step 7
If you get 50 chickens to follow you at the same time, there’s an achievement. You get the title King of the Chickens. Or Queen if you’re one of the beautifuls.

Step 8
Once you have the title enabled, some chickens become vendors. Maybe the chickens at home or maybe random chickens. You can then buy chicken themed armor and weapons from them. Maybe you pay with eggs or seeds or gold. Chickens like those.

I think this would make you realize the usefulness of chickens and it would be okay with chickens in Asura labs. If the Asura are smart they will like chickens.

Step 1 is the best step.

Think of the possibilities.

She does seem to hang out in an interesting part of the fort as both Nellie and Caden are close by as well.
