Guild Wars 2

Hey,

i heard that players that do the new chuka and champawat collection are also getting a mini tiger and a “back piece that isn’t a real back piece”. so i only have one question: why didn’t we get a mini raven for the nevermore collection? i have to admit im a bit jealous.

We’ve had a miniature raven in the game for quite some time actually. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Miniature_Raven

I think you can still get it as a rare drop from black lion chests. It’s account bound when you get it though.

But a miniature raven spirit would have made sense.

Well we have the Raven on our staff…. But that isn’t as neat as the cub back packs. I am still advocating to have Raven fly off the staff and with us when we glide.

I’m not sure how a raven back pack would be…. The actual mini Raven is very lack luster. It is very easy to miss as a mini since its small and black it easily blends in with most scenery.

I would not oppose a Raven spirit mini with cool effects as well

Getting the mini tiger spirit is completely separate from the legendary shortbow. So feasibly they could add something similar to get a mini raven spirit. In fact, add one for a mini bear and mini wolf spirit as well. Currently I’m working on getting the tiger spirit mini and it’s kind of a fun scavenger hunt.

Or…..how about a raven shoulder piece?

But anyone can get the Tiger Spirit mini.
That “back piece that isn’t a back piece” is kind of part of the story. Which most legendary crafting journeys seem to have. If I read correctly didn’t Nevermore crafters get an Egg/raven chick? Does this give a visual when you use it? And eventually The Raven Spirit merges with your raven so having a spirit raven mini pet doesn’t make a lot of sense (within the game world and the Nevermore journey timeline), because it became a part of the staff :P
The people who craft The Collosus for the Juggernaut get “a tonic that isn’t a tonic” which puts the metallic armor effect on any class.
So there are other flavours and bonuses, if you will, of crafting certain things. And that’s not a problem. It’s part of the flavour of the journey.
Also, you really want them to backtrack on a legendary journey just to add a mini and a visual? Pretty sure it would cause a lot of code bugs. No thanks. Let them work on newer content please.
