Guild Wars 2

Ok I’m pretty sure this topic has been talked about before, but I literally searched “minipet” and nothing came up. So basically there is a problem with minis. If I decided to display my favorite minipet out in the open world and my inventory becomes full, I’ll be tempted to click “deposit collectibles”. If i do so, my minipet will be sent to the bank, and I can’t display it anymore until I go all the way to the bank and withdraw it again. I think a simple fix to this problem, is to have the option to equip a minipet to your hero (therefore when you click “h” your mini will be displayed as equipped along with your character’s armor and etc). Also, while equipped give it the option to hide it(for any reason the player doesn’t want it currently displayed), just like equipped shoulders or helmet. This will also make mini pet rewards from temporary events or birthdays such as the mini queen jennah feel more rewarding because they won’t be sent to the bank every 30min and the player can actually display them. And ofc if the player wanted to switch their minipets just go to the bank, withdraw a different one, and equip it.

Ofc I know that you don’t necessarily need to click “deposit collectibles” and just wait until you get to the bank to deposit your materials, but why not just get rid of an annoyance. Little things like this can only make the game better.

P.S. I’m not even a huge fan of minis(I haven’t bought one), it’s just something I don’t understand why it was never fixed.

Yes! this is the perfect solution. You can still keep multiples in your inventory if you’re a variety junkie, but this would keep a bag slot open and prevent inadvertent deposits.

Mini pet slot. Common request. Search obviously not useful.

I like your suggestion, but as for the deposit collectibles issue, this is one of the reasons invisible bags were created. Put your mini there and you won’t have to worry about it depositing.

You just have to open your inventory and activate the mini every single time you log in, or zone anywhere. Also Invisible bags were created to prevent you from accidentally selling something you didn’t want to. I suspect blocking out deposit was an after thought. Or possibly even a consequence of the code that blocked out vendors.

Afterthought or not, the point of accidentally depositing a minipet is still invalid. As for having to activate your mini pet each time you zone…um is that really a problem? Press ‘I’ locate your mini in your invisible bag whose location will not change even upon sorting unless you actually move it yourself manually, then double-click and close your inventory.

As I stated in my first post, I like the suggestion, but the reasoning for it is just weak. Simply suggest that there be a special mini pet slot in the hero’s tab that always keeps your mini pet activated because you want it, and for no other reason. That I do support.

it’s a quality of life thing. I personally think if the Hero pane had a Mini Equip Slot I would start to use my Minis. The Slot does not need to be used like the back item slot (Check to display), requiring the player to double click the Mini Slot to bring the pet out still works. But removing the Mini from your inv to the character slot is something that should have been implemented in the beginning. Who wants to give up a slot for a cosmetic item, I sure as H3ll won’t.

You want an invisible bag. Anything in there won’t go when you deposit collectibles.
