Guild Wars 2

I searched for this and didn’t find anything, so please let me know if it has been said before. I quite like the mini’s that ANet puts into the game, but it annoys me that for every zone I jump into, I have to re-deploy my mini. I suggest an option that will bring it out again if it’s already out for wherever you go.

I know this is a VERY small thing and a very cosmetic thing, but it’s just a suggestion.

I like the idea, however I also understand why ANet didn’t implement it this way
There’s already the issue of overpopulated areas not displaying all the players models, minis are just another model to load. Though I think to modify this idea there should be a minipet slot on your hero panel with your equipment. it should have a toggle button, this would allow players to have them and actually use them, while also preventing them from getting deposited as collectibles when you don’t want a specific one to be.

this would make me use/ buy minipets way more!

i almost never run into an overpopulated area so i dont think this would be a huge problem,

They had an elegant way around this in the first game: there was a limit on how many minipets could be active in a given instance.
If you tried to get yours out when the limit was reached, the game would notify you.
I can’t see why the same couldn’t be done here.

OP: good suggestion, and as you suspect has been suggested many times before in one way or another. ArenaNet are just incredibly slow in developing anything that doesn’t immediately benefit their bank balance.

+1 OPs idea.

Why can’t they have an on/off like toggle? Click once, on until you click again, regardless of whether or not you go to another zone. Surely there is one way to turn off the method where the mini stops showing if you go to a different zone.
