Guild Wars 2

A skin pack would be fine for the start – just naked skeletons with different weapons to represent different pets.

Here they are!
And they are brilliant.
I really want to have them as my pets as a Necromancer!

Lupanic.6502:

They should rework the #5 pistol skill. It is the weakest skill in the complete game. I would change it to any other #5 skill.

+1

The #5 should simply cripple a single target or blind/confuse a target with a Peppershot or a salt shot for pain … ^^

Too bad there is no two-pistol synergy, as well.

arenta.2953:

and i’d like to be able to name my minions (equip skill>right click skill opens window to place custom name> minion uses that name any time its summoned)

+1
I like the idea.

I wanted to create a Elementalist that look like a Bright Wizard … but the right hair style and beard isn’t there. So, yes, more beards plz!

Wedding dresses have their price. Face it
So its even more exclusive

More supporters for Alternate Necromancer Pet Skin Packs and Alternate Magic/Effect Skin Packs plz ! :9

Playing as an Engineer you usually get the feeling that you have equipped the wrong sets most of the time. Turrets seem to be somewhat useless because you can’t really enhance their damage through stats … Most fun thing is the Flamethrower. I just love the sound and the effects while firing it)

It is the Gatling Gun!

“Army of Darkness” Alternate Pet Pack:

Bone Minions = Skeleton Warriors (1 Sword/Axe)
Jagged Horror = Skeleton Berserkers (2 Swords/Axes)
Bone Fiend = Skeleton Archer
Shadow Fiend = Skeleton Thief (Cloak, Daggers)
Blood Fiend = Skeleton Mage (Cloak, Staff)
Flesh Golem = Skeleton Knight (Plate Armor, 2H-Sword)
Flesh Wurm = half-buried Rotting Zombie

would pay for this also, plus an extra character slot

Actually the Flesh Wurm IS a half-buried kind of worm zombie…
But still, yes, I would buy a character slot in addition and play as a Necromancer if all slots are taken until you could have a party of skeletons as your pets.

I want to have a gatling gun turret on tracks ;P

Obviously I am not the only player that wished for alternative visuals for Necro pets.
… or even other ‘skill skins’

I’d even buy a complete swap to Halloween skeleton visuals, without any further animations. To be honest I don’t even recognize the animations of the actual pets … and I don’t really care whether a hovering ribcage is animated properly.

Menadena.7482:

As they are now they are not scary but if the idea was to make the flesh golem as ugly as possible … mission accomplished.

I would not suggest making anything remotely similar to monsters we see in the game. People would constantly be getting distracted from the real enemy and trying to kill minions.

If the Flesh Golem had at least a head between its shoulders instead just a horn, this would be a start.

Well, maybe if they are very new to the game.
But ppl that are able to play this game should be also able to distinguish pets and mobs.

Tigaseye.2047:

Yeah, apparently, they have a particular issue with skeletons, as opposed to other things we might view as worse.

As I say, I don’t know why.

Just a side note
There were skeletons as foes in GW1 and I think the game was very popular in the Asian region, so either they replaced the skeletons by whatever else fit to that regions or the ‘fact’ that Asians deny games with skeletons as a game content is as true as if you would say ‘Japanese eat sushi only’….

FrostSpectre.4198:

Or Classic Minion skin pack. Although there is no Flesh Wurm
in GW1.
Bone Horrors, Bone Fiends, Jagged Horrors and Flesh Golem

As long as there will be a skeleton pet pack, hell yes, bring the GW1 pets back in a
Necromancer Classic Pet Skin Pack!

Does power increase turret damage meanwhile?

Sturmhard.9475:

So the skeletons disappear from computer games because they are too gross for chinese?
But if there is rotting flesh and oozing organs on the bones thats ok? Oh come on.
I think the market for US and Europe is juicy enough for something like skeleton skin packs. You could even disable them for Asian servers.

Well yeah, you could.

I wonder if the Halloween event is disabled for Asian servers then, because of … well there are skeletons apparently … which are too horrible to them because of magical reasons.

I feel a slight loss of freedom here. I see it as my personal right to have roaming skeletons in fantasy role playing games. They are always my favorite enemies to fight against.

I’m sure that are ppl that are quite happy with the pets current visuals because obviously there where ppl back then when the graphics where developed that liked it the way it is today.

And though I would pay money to even just have them switched to even bare boned skeletons, because thats what I would summon as my minions if I would be a Necromancer, other players prefer even more grotesque creatures.

And thats the point where the whole idea with skinning weapons and clothes and the whole story of personalization and individualization starts at.

Fair enough, that’s a even one more reason to have proper skeletons as an alternative

Paulytnz.7619:

Either way we DON’T need zombies, lol there are too many zombies here already………

I wouldn’t mind proper zombies as an other, additional Alternate Pet Pack
but I’d prefer human skeletons to be my minions and battle thralls

Paulytnz.7619:

If I recall in GW1 the creatures were more the Skeleton type. Unless I am wrong, I do have a necro there but I never got around to playing it. I always thought the reason they turned away from the skeleton type was for the fact that we don’t need dead bodies anymore to summon them since they did away with that.

It’s more like that you summon your creatures now from some other dimension, thus the demon type things. Still, I want my skeletons! :P

I more had the impression that those pets are all flesh and bone golems. None of them ever lived. The Flesh Wurm is the only ‘real’ zombie.

Hi there!
I don’t know where to post this else.

Just a message addressed to the Developer/Publisher:

I would absolutely pay money for kind of a ‘skin pack’ to turn the Necromancer pets into skeletons.

Thanks for reading!

Cant sell that in china

Why you think so?

“Army of Darkness” Alternate Pet Pack:

Bone Minions = Skeleton Warriors (1 Sword/Axe)
Jagged Horror = Skeleton Berserkers (2 Swords/Axes)
Bone Fiend = Skeleton Archer
Shadow Fiend = Skeleton Thief (Cloak, Daggers)
Blood Fiend = Skeleton Mage (Cloak, Staff)
Flesh Golem = Skeleton Knight (Plate Armor, 2H-Sword)
Flesh Wurm = half-buried Rotting Zombie

I am really talking about skeletons.

I loved the Necromancer in Diablo 2, because you could have an army of Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages.
I loved the Bone Dancer in DAOC, because of your own party of specialized skeletons, like Your captain, archers, healers, buffers, warriors and so on.

It would be outstanding if they would even laugh when attacking, like in EQ2.

I would really love to have skeletons as necromancer pets in GW2 and I would pay a reasonable amount of money to get them as a ‘skin’.

Please fix the bomb kit!

For example:

Bone Minions could look like this:

Bone Fiends could absolutely be Skeleton Archers:
