Guild Wars 2

As the title suggests, could we please have an indicator for minis, like on dyes, for those we have unlocked? However, that tooltip should not bar you from acquiring or using multiples of the same type. It would be purely an indicator, so if i want 2 same minis on 2 different chars i should be able to do that.

Trying to complete some of my collections, I’ve bought duplicate minis on number of occasions, due to being unsure if i already had it or not. It’s hard to keep a track of which minis you’ve unlocked with having 9 chars and all of them keeping several minis on them. I know i could just keep them in the bank, but even that is time consuming trying to work out which i have, there are so many! Plus i like to have minis on my chars and change them up.

I also realise they could be resold, but that costs gold and i don’t think a tooltip would be too hard or costly to add.

I know i’m gonna get concerned community members saying this would be waste of devs time etc, but i think this would be a nice little QoL i think, at least for those avid mini collectors and lets face it, minis are a big feature in this game.

So please support it if you like the idea and u never know, we may just get it.

Thanks in advance.

This seems like a good idea for buying minis off the TP. The problem I see with this is that, unlike weapon skins and armor dyes, minis are not bound to your account. The ones that are bound can’t be sold anyway. I imagine there might be some coding difficulties that aren’t worth trying to tackle. What if you buy the mini but then put it back on the TP but it hasn’t sold yet? I know flipping minis is a poor example but would this new system be required to constantly monitor all your minis across your account because they can be bought and sold at will?

It could just reference your collection at that time.

I really think the mini ui needs a massive overhall. I don’t see why it can’t be added to the hero panel the way finishers are where we select one to have ‘active’ per character and then use a keyboard shortcut to summon it once we’re in a zone. Just like the non-permanent finishers, it could list the x# available in your bank and that number becomes 0 and is grayed out if you decide to sell all the ones you have in that slot.

This would be more in line with the kind of Hero UI that people have been asking for for nearly two years now. Account Minis in the Hero Panel, a couple account-wide slots for food/nourishment/potions/boosters, and a few account-wide slots for merchant/tp/bank summoning items (VERY useful for the unlimited versions of these.)

That’s actually a good point, but this was just an idea. I don’t know how they can implement something like that without affecting the trade of minis, but the game does keep a record of those u’ve already collected and deposited into the bank.

Maybe they could stamp the actual mini slot in the bank in some way? Or even change the borders colour for that slot to indicate you already had that mini, would be very helpful. Ofc, this would not alleviate the problem when buying off of the TP, but you could always stay at ur bank, have the mini tabs open and check which ones u already have?

But please if any of you have other ideas, feel free to express them, I’m just kinda brainstorming here in hope to give Anet some ideas.
