Polymock was originally planned for GW2, and I think it would have been playing with minis instead of seperate pieces like in GW1, but was dropped before release for some reason, possibly because they needed to get the game finished and released and so a lot of planned mini games were dropped. They could complete it at some point, but I think it would need some careful planning. A lot of minis are hard or impossible to get these days, and if their abilities were based on the original creatures the balance would be absurd (Tequatl vs. a white kitten anyone?). If strength was tied to rarity then it would be all over the place. IMO the best way around that would be to make 20 or so 'templates' and group minis into those, so all the ones which share a template have the same stats and abilities and their appearance is just cosmetic - if they make sure each one contains a mix of rare and widely available minis it should solve a lot of the balance issues. The other problem is that the mini games we already have aren't actually played that often, even when they're part of the dailies (not helped by the fact that you get credit for the daily just by being in the map when it ends). Look at all the people who keep asking for a Battle Royale mode who don't seem to realise it already exists because they've never encountered, or forgotten about, Southsun Survival - and that one was really popular when it was first introduced. If people aren't playing the mini games we've already got I think it will be difficult to convince Anet it's worth their time to make more of them.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 In the first few months, or so, of the game, there was a spot in old Lion's Arch that was an arena with Mini-pets. It was speculated that that was going to be a fighting arena for Minis. Nothing ever came of it, and eventually the arena was removed, I believe.
