Miniatures MUST stack

Dear Anet,

Since you implemented a collector that collects Mini Pigs, it has come to my attention that Miniatures are now collector items.

Therefore, as with all collector items, they should be allowed to stack to save space in the inventory.

Have you tried emailing ANet or Gaille, since this is an open forum and not a direct message to ANet? Since it is an open forum, you basically have to expect to receive responses that you may not like. Furthermore, since this is not your forum, you really have no say on what is or is not an acceptable reply to your post.

As to the stacking; I don't see why we couldn't have minis stack, though I don't know if they were ever implemented to be able to do so. Minis may be in a different category, like weapons, where even if you have 2 or more of the exact same item, (like from a collector), they don't stack.

It's a "like to have" improvement, but I don't see it being at the top of the list...

Even though they can be taken to a collector, there are still a minipet and can only be placed one per square.

Sorry, Lyra. As much as I'm a fan of more space in the inventory and storage, this idea just isn't ground enough to suggest this in my opinion. I'm going to have to say no.

Your post isn't contributing either.

BTW, who cares, they're mini pigs.

I'd much rather prefer if they added an improved way to store up to ONE of each possible minipet in game. For example something like the festival hat maker, but don't make it copy pets but just give the ability to put minis in and take them out. If you take it out it's removed from the list till you put it back again. 1 bit of data per pet type (or 2 if you allow storing dedicateds). Add a graphics interface to that (mini pet icons on buttons) and you got an awesome storage solution to save a lot of precious slots at minimum cost.

Mini pigs also do not drop from monsters like so many collector items, if minis could stack they'd be horded, things are grand the way they are.

actuly mini pets are "collector" items:P only "collectors" would ever buy them as there is no other use of them :P anyway, most players dont have multiple pets of same kind(like 5 pandas, kuunavangs, etc.), so not sure it's really needed

Since you completely layed into that person for NO reason, im not going to sign this out of principle because I really dislike that kind of attitude. Although I wasnt going to sign it anyway, because it seems this is only a festival related thing and not something worth hassling over just for a few days.

Nah. What we need is a way to store them like the hat maker. Not a way to tack them like ectos.

/Agreed with above poster that that kind of attitude really just makes me angry. They stated a fact, which seems to be a reason of why it's not really that big of a deal.

If you have more than one miniature of the same type, and can't find storage for it, you deserve to be hindered for your incessant pack-ratting. Basically, don't keep everything you find, and you won't have a problem with storage, which I think this is what this suggestion is really about.

anything that allows me to horde and be the pack-rat that I am will make the system much more desirable. It's a little late because i've given my string of trolls and wallows away, but hey...I know I'm due for more.

Mini Pigs are the only collectors items, not miniatures in general.

I said no because I'm under the impression the mini pig will likely be the only mini there will be a collector for. They only did it to reduce the amount of piggies in circulation since people were whining about how they were so easy to get and worthless.

Exactly... Indeed More things like this to reduce minis would be nice... IE if you have a dedicated mini and its in your HoM, then you should be allowed to dump it in the HoM and leave it there and go get it at will. NO TRADING ALLOWED after that.

Now with all these minis earned!!! and with all the books... Its just getting way way too crowded in storage and inventories IMHO. Putting the minis in the Monuments should act like the festive hats guy with masks... Just make sure they remain customized so as to prevent trading and preserve scarcity.

I'd be happy if the Hall of Monuments allowed you to LEAVE dedicated pets there until you wanted them to show off in town or what not. In that way you could have a better storage option rather than saying "okay, now that they're dedicated I guess I should sell them for space."

But really, do you honestly own 3+ of the same mini?
Its not imperative, but it would be nice.
I have a couple of the same mini, but not enough to be a bother.

how about once you dedicate it you get a drop down on your armor and weapon page you can open and click the one you want to use and don't have to carry it any more.

Personally...I think minipets should be stapled to your account once their dedicated. Removed from your inventory and placed somewhere outside of your storage. Changing minipets to stackable is senseless, unless you want to change how you store your funds. But I don't think having 40 Undedicated Mallyxes is too feasible.

Anyways, nice attempt to a solution, but I believe having minipets taking "any" inventory slots is ridiculous...They're pointless.

That's what you say now! Just wait until there'll be Celestial Hydra's or Ghostly Devourers which can be traded in exchange of x normal hydra's/devourers

OT; I'm somewhere between No & I don't really care.
Personally I really don't need it, and although I'm sure there are some people who might could use this, but I don't think that number is high enough to bother on actually implementing it..

Stacking would not imo be a reasonable solution.

I am assuming here that those that collect mini pets are aiming for one of each rather than a large number of each type.
That's more being a dealer in mini pets rather than a collector.

It's also probably unlikely that stacking would work with dissimilar items where two different kinds mini pet occupy one space.

Now if there was some way they could become like festival hats where you can own them and they could be called up at will when you want to show them off then that might be an idea.

It would have to be set up so they would be unsellable ie dedicated to a character or account and only that person could have it running around.

For anyone else it would just take up storage space.

Ok weapon with the same skin/stat MUST stack?. Same type of armor with the same insigma MUST stack? Oh same character with the same storage and outlook/prof MUST stack? Thank you!

You go home and stack your two twin dogs together. Oh you don't have 1? Go buy a pair.

Although this sounds ludicrous, he has a point.

If this is implemented, where do we stop? I don't want to see every frigging identical thing in the game stack, after a while it would just get retarded. You guys are lucky dye stacks, imo.

I don't want to see a stack of 250 req 3 dmg 9-12 white longswords or anything, and I don't think anyone else does.
