Guild Wars 2

Wow, that is quite the idea! One thing I’d stipulate is that the un-soulbinding make the item account-bound, so that it isn’t just a way to resell expensive gear, but instead is only a way to make your items into heirlooms for your other characters.

Yeah, it seems like these are the minipets’ issues that are most complained about. I know I for one would actually start acquiring more minipets if the summoning and movement speed of the minipets was improved.

Minipets need a bit of love where their functionality is concerned. I’m a minipet addict, but in GW2 I gave up using them. A few things that I think would make the minipets amazing (and no longer frustrating) would be:

1. Summoning the minipet will keep it with you regardless of waypoint/portal/changing zones/dying and will only leave your side when you desummon it or summon a different minipet.

2. Your summoned minipet matches your character’s speed. (I found it quite annoying to be constantly outrunning my minipet with my various characters that have run speed bonuses only to have it blink to my location while I again outrun it… over and over.)

3. Some kind of UI thing for summoning whatever minipets you own without having to keep them in your bags would be awesome, too ;)

I looooove minipets, and I really hope that at least those first two points are considered so that the minipet system isn’t something that feels like a cumbersome thing to remember to do all the time, but instead is just you and your little buddy who’s always with ya.

1UP!

More, please! I LOVE this game within a game, it’s completely addicting, and even after I’ve farmed the heck out of it, I’d love to keep it as a go-to fun minigame just to putz around in for kicks and giggles. I will be quite sad when it leaves. (I’m hoping it won’t!)
