Guild Wars 2

I love mini pets but at the moment I can’t stand to use them.

Things that are wrong with them:

1. They take up a inventory space while equipped.

When mini pets are out and not in your backpack they shouldn’t take up a slot. Maybe a mini pet slot on our character panel or something could work?

2. They go to your bank when you deposit all collectibles.

Depositing all collectibles is one of the most convenient features in the game. If I want to keep my mini pet with me I have to individually deposit each collectible to safeguard my mini pet.
Rather than make mini pets non collectibles you should just make them have to manually be deposited in the bank so it doesn’t leave with my crafting mats.

I hope you take this into consideration, and address these issues so using my sweet mini pets will be more convenient.

You can put them in an invisible bag slot that way they stay when you dump collectibles -shrug-

Yeah it would be really nice if they could make it more convenient.

Similar to how WoW eventually made them super convenient. Just unlocked into a collectible tab thing you access from your Char Window, that and they stay out when you zone and w/e.

+1 for mini redesign. I never use my mini’s because it takes up some slots, and if you collected every single miniature it would fill up a huge chunk of you inventory.

Pretty much the main reason I use an invisible bag~ so my mini kitty stays with me forever. >;o

they’re super slow too.

easy solution:

add an equippable minipet slot. frees inventory space, doesn’t get deposited by accident, stays out even when you hit a loading screen.

Yeah, I am a HUGE fan of pets/companions/minis. I had to sell mine because they were always taking up room though. I always want my minis to be with me to show them off when I can, but I’m not going to keep 20 minis in my inventory all the time. Having some improvements to minis would be cool, like giving them something to do other than looking cute or like we’ve been talking about, not taking up space in our inventories.

Given how Costume Brawl has come along, and the references to Polymock Arenas that you can’t get to yet, it seems pretty much a given that we’re going to be seeing Pokemon-style miniature battles at some point, right?

I noticed in the little Arena there’re 2 minis about to battle it looks like. Would be cool if they revived Polymock~ was a cool yet underrated minigame in GW1. Have always wondered if they were gonna revive it and make it bigger/better.

Hopefully when that update comesvit improves the minipet system aswell. And I know there is invisible bags but that doesn’t really justify the poor mini pet layout

It’s the same way in GW1, they just haven’t evolved away from it yet. The mini-pet storage was a nice start though. I have an entire alt character on GW1 dedicated to holding all my mini pets ._.
