So I have made this post in the past and actually got some pretty good feedback, I am seeking some more “personalization” from the home instance I have everything you can get for it (Except the collections chest … working on that) and still feels like its missing that bit of Pizzaz if you will.

My thought is: With the HIGH volume of minis in the game, why not make them do something other than having just 1 active at a time. Say you go to you’re home instance and a small (it would be better if it was the whole home instance) section is dedicated to the minis like gw1 had. However maybe have them just wonder around. For example a set ammount of patrol sections (1 for every mini available, and random mini per patrol) where the minis you have unlocked in you’re wardrobe can wonder around you’re home instance throughout one of the patrols available.

The collector in me says, new mini?! Dangit… gold for gems … broke again, but hey a new mini! I have just about every single one, but they never seem to slow down… this would not only give the home instance some much needed love, but it would be something you can enjoy coming to every now and then, rather than “dumb logs, dumb metals, dumb dumb dumb etc”.

Please feel free to add to this if you would like, but I sincerely hope this continues to get some positive feedback as I would love to see something like this implemented.

tl;dr
Minis randomly patroling home instance Ambience

Anet has been doing things to the home instance with the inclusion of the nodes from gemstore or events. Adding mini pet ambient creatures would be nice, of course only include those that are unlocked on your account. It doesn’t even have to be all of them, just put them around the nodes/rewards you unlock that fill up your home instance. As a collector, I would love the inclusion of this mini pet farm in the home instance.

It can even be creative like, pair up marjory with belinda mini, molten fire storm with berserker, karka with the hatchlings etc. If Guild Wars 1 had it, why can’t GW2 have it, and I believe the max display of mini pets was 20. It’s a nice idea, but I’m pretty sure Anet has alot on their hands right now *POLYMOCK… cough… but you know, one can hope.

I really like this idea. Since I have every mini (except the mystical dragon which STILL seems to be a mystery mini since being added months ago, and the Mini Llama which requires me to watch events I don’t like and pray I get it. Oh and I wont bother mentioning the most recent impossible mini to get…) my home instance would be a zoo. It would be AWESOME!

This is as good as my idea for a Anniversary mini. (or something) My hope is they make a Mini Doppelganger as a call back to GW1. When the mini is taken out, it would take on the look of the person who summoned it (Armor and all). We could all have a mini-me running around with us. WOULD BE AWESOME!. Got some good feedback a long time ago when I posted that idea but that is as far as it went.

Wow… I never thought about pairing them up… this would be AMAZING !!!! Karka + hatchlings!!!! I was even thinking like Scarlet next to her holo and around them, her steam creatures. The possibilities for this could be of epic proportions!

Also as a side note this could be GREAT for new players, as it could easily give some idea (in a small way of course) to the history of Guild Wars 2 Living Story (presented by minis). Nevertheless this would be an epic addon… Dangit !!!! ANET YOUR POSSIBILITES ARE ENDLESS WITH THIS! Please look into it, I absolutely love this idea.

And as always everyone reading this please feel free to give out your thoughts on this! Goodluck and MOST importantly Have Fun!!

This would be such an excellent add-on to the game… minis wouldn’t just be gold pits that never seem to stop or slow down as OP mentioned. And I would finally have a use for the mini pets I have stored away for the same usual reason. “New mini… ughhhhh looks better than the last one I said looked better”.
