asterix.9614 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 So now they are taking away everything bit by bit from wvw, no ALLIANCE, NO SEIGE TURTLE, BAD SERVER MATCHUP/ LINKS to Overpopulated servers, and now mini being taken away.... Thank you Anet, you do realize there are "veterans" who have played for a long time, SPENT a TONNE of real life money and in game gold to purchase minis and use them in wvw. The jade bot minis cost thousands of gems (thank you for making them unusable for wvw players). You do realize there are people who don't use stealth classes, what a bad solution to the stealth problem lol, A JOKE. Well, all in all thank you for removing my earlier post and probably this one as well for stating facts..... 2 3 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaba.5410 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Good riddance. This is the real QoL we've been looking for. I'm tired of having to remember to turn off/on my mini everytime I switch between PvE and WvW. And I have the Jade Bot mini too.

LSD.4673 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Minis are one of the foundations that the WvW cornerstone was laid on, and i for one am outraged to see them removed. 7 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterix.9614 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 (edited) Kinda crap, I hate pve and just wvw and pvp, a shame that I collected trading post and gemstores minis and jade bot skins then 😕 Even have chars paired with minis lol Edited January 31 by asterix.9614 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUL, dude they just give away positions/movements even non stealth, its a clutter and will most likely help performance of the game instead of having to display 150 people in one spot with shiny glowy skins and then 150 minis. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but in zergs they automatically get removed anyway. Ah well, I guess I was the only one in wvw who loved using the minis, especially the jade bots ones. Now they are useless to me. Also, are you a new wvw player? Because in wvw no mini is going to locate your position to your enemy lol, they are too slow for that. I say that from a near decade of roaming in wvw 1v1+ mini hasn't been a hinderance to me personally. Ooh well 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenesis.6389 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 On the one hand it's good for zergs, especially pug zergs, on the other hand.... man it was funny as kitten when these dummies would try to stealth with the mini out. Change for the greater good. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely are, not that it matters. I was curious because as a roamer I personally haven't been caught out by a mini lol. Still, my bad, I am someone who doesn't do the whole zerg ball thing, I find it more fun to roam in wvw. Just the reply from the salty new player though XD lol. gets called out for spreading misinformation and has to call someone new.. Maybe you should stick to roaming Mr Vet, i hear it has less mechanics.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly like they said in patchnotes, newer players stealth up and then minis show clearly where they're moving. Saying minis don't do anything to locate player location in wvw is being misinformed, which is even funnier when you're trying to throw "are you a new wvw player?" question at someone in the same post. Overally that's a good change and it took them long enough to do it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most vets in WvW i spoken to about the updates state that this change is a great QoL as it IS clutter and most that run WvW know not to have a mini out as even if you dont run stealth yourself, you may be in a fight where you get stealthed by an ally (gotta think of more than just yourself in this scenario). It sucks yeah however a lot of ppl agree its def for the best (and less deaths for PvE'er who enter WvW who keep their minis out after stealthing) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchonWing.9480 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Wow it only took them like 10 years to do this. But it's here. Though honestly, does the spaghetti code really force them to be displayed to enemies? Whatever. Also no we can't balance the game around your spending habits.

Ruufio.1496 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Minis were kinda OP because on engi if I use slick shoes on scrapper with barrier on CC trait it causes my own mini to trip which gives me like 700 barrier. Very not fair for the opponent to fight scrapper with 700hp more. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh well I got killed in the dredge tunnels one time when I was running away from a big scary charr once. I took a wrong turn ending up in a dead end, and when my slow mini caught up to me so did this huge train of pain 🙃 Pretty sure he did not see me go the wrong way as i did not see him behind me, so he must have followed my mini. so they can indeed kill pve plebs such as myself when we dare to enter the realm of death.

gitssac.7302 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This change is the very definition of watching the new guy at work get all the praise and handouts he needs to succeed, but with none of the experience and hard work needed to achieve said success. I bet the only WvW dev on Anet's team came into WvW on a Mesmer, did mass invis and was chased down by someone who wasn't a brainlet who saw his mini. I can't wait for the next patch notes where Anet give new players a 1k armour buff and pulsing stab for standing on SMC wall, and a free express ticket to MAG server with a full set of ascended marauders gear for their pew pew ranger. While we are at it, let's just give new players a 'Trainee' name badge so people can't be rude to them. Also tweak their HP values so instead of learning to kite AoE damage they can just run straight through an enemy bomb and only take a maximum of 10% total damage. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad there isn't a mesmer dev, hasn't been for years. Raymond use to play necro, Cal use to play war, ele. Other devs have played firebrand scrapper dragonhunter ranger. In other words, you might want to revise your story. 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we need a respectable player who knows how the exploits work of jumping into towers and keeps, to take one of these in-game devs by the hand and show them where to put invisible walls to fix those issues. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
