Yeah, I should probably stop dedicating minipets now I am at 75 for those people that can't get 50 of them together.

50 of them is a fine number if you've been playing for a while, and for the new people, you don't need 50 of them to reach 30/50 for the calculator. HoM will be open for years to come as well.

EDIT: Woops, that was number 76, silly me.

The requirement is already pretty low considering the total number of existing minipets. And you don't NEED all 50 minis unless you're going for 50/50 HoM. Still getting 50 cheapest possible minipets will cost you just about 1.5M gold, not much more than for example a max Sweet Tooth title (around 1.2M).

Also keep in mind there's a flood of new minipets coming to the game practically every day. Just days ago lots and lots of characters created shortly after Nightfall release had their 4th birthdays - Nightfall added 3 character slots which means even more minis (I got 3 presents). Also remember you don't NEED full HoM for anything before GW2 release and until then tons of minis will get opened, including a flood of 5th years on the 5th anniversary of Factions release.

And I want the dragon hero emote unlocked at r3 because 100.000 fame is just ridicules. At especially now because there are only grinders in HA. It just not fair. /sarcasm off.

Instead complaining and moaning that you didn't get them when they were handed out for free in SJM you might go grind to make money and buy some. And if your not going to it just proves you want what others have but then with no effort.

There is a reason that there are people who want 50/50. Because it's NOT easy to get wich means less people have it wich makes it so wanted. If everyone has 50/50 it's not attractive to get it and noone would care and say it's nothing.

Why do people fail to understand that. Do they really think it's still that awsome and elite to get what everyone has wich costed no effort.

yeah a bunch of people spent their hard earned cash on 50minis but anet will change it so that you dont have to bother /notsigned

The HoM is in betta.

Adding stuff to it will be fine, since everyone would be able to go and get it.
Removing it won't, since no one will be able to recover anything added to the HoM.

I understand the theory behind this suggestion. 'Devotion' is the only monument that can't be filled for max points by playing the game. It is totally dependent on others players for supply (that is limited), unless we are talking about years and years of waiting. So, at least at the moment, it would be impossible for all the players to get 50 minis. However, in reality there is a steady supply of minipets for the market. They just got a lot more expensive and harder to acquire.

Thank you for actually reading the post instead of accusing me of complaining. I specifically said I'm fine with how it is now because I have no problems acquiring the minis at this time. There's no lack of minis on the market at the moment so it's not currently a problem but this is to address that problem in Guild Wars Beyond before it becomes a problem.

I don't think that asking for 50 minis is that much, honestly. Most of the 1st year minis aren't that hard to come by, even now. I got to 22 without even trying (and I have 35/50). The only problem is that now that they're actually sought after (as opposed to 6 months ago when people practically gave away 1st and 2nd year undeds) they've increased in price. Wait a little while, the price will probably go down. It just seems harder than it is because of how expensive everything is. If I had actually bothered to try to get more minis in my HoM before the calculator, I probably wouldn't have had much of a problem.

You don't even have to touch 5th year miniatures/in-game drops/special editions to get the maximum number of points for miniatures.

Eh, not actually true Krystaf. Keep in mind, minis are going to be added every birthday until the game is shut down.

Sure, 50 seems a lot now. But when the 10 year anniversary is coming and I have like 100 (minus repeats) from all my characters, shrug. While minipets are limited, they are also the only monument you can fill up by literally doing nothing. You can make 4 characters on release day of Prophecies, not log-in again until today, and have 20 pets ready for you.
The minis being limited and having a high cap is a fair trade off for their ease of aquisition.

There are already over 100 mini pets in the game, so I think setting the bar at a minimal 50 is quite fair, again its not a requirement to fill your HoM to 50/50.

I do agree tho that the pricing and such have gone up and that does suck a bit, but from what ive seen most mini's are still readily available(of course maybe not for a price you'd jump at but..)

I have always collected minis and have had well over 50 long before this update so it did not affect me at all, the only thing that affected me was the whole oppressor wepon add on as I had already sold all of mine but I'm not too worried about it.

The one thing I am doing still is continuing to fill my HoM to the brim, as this is only the beta calculator I wouldn't be suprised if things were tweaked a bit more. Its better to be ahead of the curve then behind it

**cosyfiep** · Nov 09, 2010, 05:44 AM // 05:44

there are plenty of minis--just of the bday ones 14X5=70 right there (if you got them all)....yeah lots of duplicates, but those can be traded/sold for the ones you are missing...not to mention the new year ones as well as some of the special ones (kunnie, varesh, the asuran, certadon and the destroyer).

and yeah I had well over 50 when the hom came out (even had 30 on a alt account already)....still trying to get the last few I am missing (and really dont care if they are dedicated or not)....but that is besides the point, 50 is not hard to get unless you just started playing recently.

cruzer · Nov 11, 2010, 12:42 PM // 12:42

I think it is fine the way it is.
I am guessing more mini pets will be released in the next 6 months anyway.
