This may seem like a bit of a trivial feature, but I was curious if there would be any non-combat pets in this game. I know they really only serve as eye candy, but I think they'd add color and flare to a character. Personally I envision the character I plan on creating walking around with a pet raven perched on his shoulder.
I imagine there will be however I don't know if they'll go as far as having interactions with companions. I do however think that would be awesome. A bird sitting there on your shoulder as you travel that takes to the air and circles overhead in a fight but comes back and lands afterwards; a ferret or cat that walks along side you but jumps into your pocket in combat to "stay safe"; a dog that walks with you and in combat barks and nips at the heals of what your fighting, though not having any effect or doing damage, etc etc etc.
Someone with friends in high places get on that.
Just like GW1, there will be minipets. These are visual only, they don't do anything for all we know. No details have been released about them, but we know how they worked in GW1 (following you around, can't interact with them).
There are also several minipets awarded as HoM prizes http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=m...AAAAAAAAAAAAAA . See the reward for 9 (an orange tabby cat), 15 (undead baby chicken), 21 (woodlands racoon) and last but not least 27 (red servitor golem).
I would love to be able to have a few simple interactions with my vanity pets
The exact details of what minipets can do and how you can obtain when have not been released yet, but Colin Johanson did say this about them:
So who knows, a few simple interactions may not be out of the question......minipets is something we definitely want to have some fun with in the game and make maybe even a bigger part of Guild Wars 2 than they were in Guild Wars 1
Pet battling system perhaps? Hopefully something different than WoW is putting in their game?
