Suggestion : Just hide minatures in WvW in squad.

That wouldn't change anything, as most in squad are told to hide them anyways. It's the rando's that run into the zerg while they're trying to stealth push that's the major problem.

 

Although that also doesn't stop them from running up with their mount either, maybe they should make running over veil dismount a player, or when they get hit with stealth from anywhere for that matter.

 

There, solved the mount problem, and also added a way to troll your team mates with veil. 🤭

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)

Lmao who are you even talking to? A veteran read this note and thought, "uh, ok" and forgot 5 seconds later.

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.

Uhm... you are joking, right?

Minis were a plague in WvW, because they don't become invisible when you stealth, hence reveal your position. Noobs would constantly sabotage zergs that way.

No no no, you've got to be joking there. Right? :classic_dry:

Well, all in all thank you for removing my earlier post and probably this one as well for stating facts.....

Are you serious? Someone having a mini out could ruin a stealth push made by 50 people. ONE person would be capable of intentionally or unintentionally trolling 49 other people.

yeah, i already stopped counting where our guild has nuked an enemy squad that was stealthed, just because of some minis. 
While they don´t show the EXACT location (as minis always slack a bit behind), it does show where they moved (or even IF they moved at all). Any somewhat expierienced commander can anticipate the movement-direction and distance just based on one (1) single mini, and dropping a bomb onto that direction is deadly for the unfortunate group that had a mini reveal them

Offer a refund of whatever currency was spent to anyone who has purchased minis and this change is ok. Otherwise it is an indication of an unethical business practice.

sPvP has never had minis.  Should players get refunded for that too?

This change will actually let me finally start using minis.  As a primary wvw player, I always kept mine off, now I can turn them on for the first time.  Progress!

Though.... a better change would've been to make minis stealth when their user stealths.

If minis never worked there then people didn't buy minis with the expectation that they would. If, however, minis have always worked in a given game mode and ANet sold them to people with that functionality, and Anet then removed said functionality, an offer of refund is the ethical practice.

i would never use a mini unless i wanted to popup and troll the enemy by going the oposite side of the zerg :P towards the commander.

Thing is players never used the full intent of mini's to troll, gw2 was ment to be played like a lamer to excell.

Still this request become a reality far to late....

minis cause lag in Wvw, so automatic deactivated minis is a good thing.

So do a full mono blob spamming  :P yet Anet has been forcing players to mono ktrain blob with the gameplay  and balance changes.

It would be only fair for Anet to allow players to have 2 minipets in wv.

How hard is it to uncheck a box? You know it's there, you checked it in the first place.

What isn't understood about the concept of QoL here? It's not hard to uncheck a box. It's extremely annoying to have to do it every single time just to enjoy a cosmetic in PvE. Good riddance.

This is just a thief buff in disguise. For stupid thieves, but thieves nonetheless.

Nah, Specters needed to use Siphon on Mini pets to proc Thrill of the Crime outa combat so it's a nerf to that spec. Dunno why they don't just let us self-cast and ally cast it for trait procs.
