Guild Wars 2

Hello you fantastic Devs!

Basically I love Mini-pets, there like normal pets with less mess but the problem I have is I load up on the things, then go about showing off, then hit deposit collectibles and poof! Now now, I know you can get a bag for this thing but one bag for a few pets, my dear, where would all my loot go?

Now I know I’m onto to something because I rarely see people sporting their little critters in public and I think it’s simply because it’s kind of a fuss getting them out.

It would be awesome, fantastic maybe, if you add a panel for them on the hero menu for Mini-pets, click one, and poof! The pet will follow you, won’t get deposited, and won’t take up space. Be nice to switch them out now and then.

Seriously though, I think this will boost their value a little and just make it easier for us to enjoy them, I don’t think it will harm any of other aspects of the game, it is cosmetic after all.

Thanks for reading!

I agree that nobody really takes them out because of having to do it every time you get into a new area. It’s a bit like town clothes.

I’m not sure that Minipets that are easily accessible is that much of a good idea for those who suffer lag issues.

Imagine at a festive event, a person whips out their minipet. If other people see this minipet, they would want theirs out too and if it is as easy as clicking a button in your inventory then you’ll have loads of minipets running around. And this will probably cause people to lag due to all the movement calculations. There was a limit in GW1 that stopped too many minipets to be displayed and I assume the same goes for this.

You can craft Invisible bags, stick your pet/pets in there & they won`t get sent when you click the deposit all.
Not best work around, but it works

I did mention about the bags, it does fix some of the issue – but it’s more of an ease thing. I mean streamlining systems is important, if you can access them all at the push of a button at any time I’d use it more. Plus at the moment I think they despawn a lot.

As for lag – culling isn’t a big issue, although this is really something for AN to worry about.

I think the fact people don’t use them indicates a system not functioning as intended, then consider most people just buy and sell them nowadays with no intent of using them : /

Thanks for the responses though!

I agree with this. +1
