Suggestion: mini pet slot

there is just enough room for one more "slot" on the inventory page by your character. your weapons and off-hands disappear and reappear when you go in and out of cities with out your control, and i think it would be cool if there was a mini-pet slot that did the exact same thing. i like showing off my Kuun and having him follow me around, but i hate having to get him out every freakin time. i think it would be cool if it did it automatically.

note: i also want there to be a way to turn off mini pet sounds =]

bumped for more feedback...it seems like it would be pretty simple to include so its not like it would take forever...i figure that easy little features like this should be included even if it isnt super important.

take heart, devs do go out of the way for little improvements, and this is a nice one also.

^_^ see, it gets in the way of nothing currently there and nothing in the way of it. if the little cape "show or not show" thing, that could be shifted down marginally...but i dont think its a big deal. also, when its equiped, not in the inventory plz =]

SilintNinjya, that seems like a perfectly resonable and logical place to put it. And I don't see why we have to keep taking minipets out....

/signed for keeping them out....even if I still don't have any minipets...

Very nice. I do often forget to take out my mini turtle, and it does seem very logically and doable (if they can make caps appear in explorable areas but not in outposts, then they certainly can do this).

not signed mini pets will be history in a few months/a year. Something new will pop up and then people will want a new slot for something silly.

in a year, ill be recieving like another 4 or 5 mini-pets. i cant wait! as long as they keep introducing new ones, mini-pets wont go away. and if they even go so far as to support it, you can bet they wont go away.

Almost 2 hours ago I was on GW, opened my inventory and there was a little blue box tied with a yellow ribbon there. I got really excited and I opened it. Although it was not a charr shaman, which I wanted, it was a jungle troll, which I am very happy with. I don't want to have to click on it everytime I go out.

and what about the peole that have 2 handed weapons and the off hand slot just hangs out there? or people who arent in a guild and the cape slot?

i think that now that the game has been out for well of a year, *most* people have had or do have a pet. this could also increase the mini pet sales activity for the people that think like you and have to have something in every slot. not much, but maybe just a tad bit.

Can't use a minipet in PvP so it's limited to the great temple of balth area anyway.

I never use minipets currently because it's just too much of a pain to take em out, I'd love to see this happen. /signed

Would be even better if we can just turn it on or oof and it will remember that. I can live with -1 storage space, but I keep forgetting to get it out and I like having it around...

Umm.. no, *most* ppl still don't have them. Most Proph players have them. I started right before Factions, so if it weren't for NF's prerelease bonus pack, I wouldn't even have a single minipet.

This would be nice, and it might also keep the 'equipped' mini out of our invetory, freeing up one more sace to pick loot up.

I know, some of you are like 'one space? not a big deal' but I've lost count ofthe number of times I've just needed that one space for some last item and ended up leaving it (or droping something else if it was colored).

Also I like the minipet storage idea. Would be great to have a tab for those of us that collect minis. Something optional, like the materials tab, so not everyone has to buy it if they don't want.

Pre-release bonus pack does not give a mini pet, it gives an icy soulbreaker of enchanting (scythe) and a Fiery Sunspear of Shelter, and a bonus character slot.

^^ maybe he meant CE or PCGamer Pet (Grey Giant)..

/signed. I have almost 1 on 8 chars (I'm short 1 I think) and I like to have them out but always forget. Specially with my sin, shadowstep and watch them run to you, it's quite amusing, specially with the turtle!

Have it so that each of your Heroes could equip a mini pet as well. That way you could have 4 of your mini pets out when questing with your Heroes.

I'm always for these little addons that add depth to the game. Perhaps an icon like the headgear icon, and a dropdown menu appears where you can choose to display no minipet or choose a minipet from a list of minipets you own. (You can add/take away from the minipets available on the dropdown menu by taking a minipet from your inventory and dragging it into this "minipet inventory" which is separate from your inventory, and only minipets can be stored there. Minipets in this "minipet inventory" will appear on your dropdown menu)

/catchbreath - I feel like I repeated myself a few times.

I nearly always forget that I have a minipet so although it seems a little thing it is a good idea.

I agree

It would be an amazing Idea to have a Mini-Pet Inventory/Slot, for them. (i suggest at the feet) and for pvp area's the Mini-Pet Slot would get the big (/) cancel sign. =D
