Guild Wars 2

This is an idea that’s crossed my mind as one more of convenience than anything. As it is, minipets are considered a Collectible, so whenever you hit Deposit Collectible to send your crafting materials to storage, your minipet also goes as well. In order to avoid that, you have to either a) manually right click and deposit all your materials that aren’t the minipet, or b) make an invisible bag just to put the minipet in. It seems rather inconvenient to do either, and I doubt I’m the only one who doesn’t really show off minipets due solely to that inconvenience and having to constantly retrieve said minipet from a bank.

What about a slot on the Hero menu for you to put a minipet in? That way you can have at least one minipet that will always be with you and won’t get deposited along with the rest of your collectibles. You could either double-click to bring it out, or maybe have a toggle feature like back items between having it visible or storing it. I know it would be enjoyable to get to have minipets on my characters through a feature like that, since they just collect dust in storage for the most part.

Finally, a “add a slot for X” suggestion that doesn’t clash with combat design.

Yes, having a convenient place to store a mini would be great.

I know, right? It takes too long to manually deposit collectibles, and having an invisible bag solely so your minipet doesn’t get stored on accident? I just really think it’d be nice to have. More people might have their minipets along with them if we had that little feature. Still want to show off my Rytlock~

well wouldnt an even more coveinent idea steming off of that idea be to have an always accesable mini pet storage? Say like if you cut them out off storage and gave em a key to bring them up. Its not like its something you require or need so i dont see them having a problem with saving us a few minutes

I’m not entirely sure about that to be honest… That might be going too far in that direction, you know? I imagine it would be possible to do, but dunno if that’s quite within range of what they’d want to…

Personally, I’m okay with at least just one minipet slot. That might be easier to implement.

You know someone had the same idea as you did? His name is Geikamir.6329. And he posted it earlier. I don’t say its stolen, I just say its the same concept.

Multiple threads/posts on this have been created but still no feedback, I really hope they do start planning this. Personally I don’t find keeping a pet in an invisible bag that much of a hassle but what I do mind is being 1 inventory slot less to hold loot.

I honestly haven’t bothered looking at the forums much. It sorta came to me as I was playing and saw all my minipets just sitting in storage because they get deposited immediately.

I dunno, I find it a bit of a hassle because I have a bunch of 20 or 15 slot bags as it is… and making a 15 slot invisible bag kinda seems like a waste just for a mini. I’m usually okay with how much loot I can hold, it’s just the issue of not wanting to buy another bag slot just to put a small invisible bag for minis. But I guess it does make sense for the people who end up with tons of loot all the time >>; I’m just picky about having everything organized.
