Like a number of players this weekend, I recently dedicated quite a number of my minipets, reached the display limit (20) and realized that some of the pets I actually wanted to display were no longer displayed (unless I chose that particular year/type). I can't be the only one who just dedicated a ton of white minipets and whose unique/golds are no longer visible. With that in mind, I'd like to suggest adding Monument of Honor/Fellowship-like customization options to the Monument of Devotion. A system where the player can choose what minipets they'd like to show (and in what order).

I realize that unlike the above mentioned monuments there are 20 options (not 5) which would make it more difficult to organize so here are some further improvements to the idea:

1) Instead of "center," "right," "far left," etc. Use a simple numbering scheme where position 1 would be the front leftmost minipet and position 20 would be the back rightmost minipet. This would allow the interface to remain simple without entries like "2nd to the right" and "9th from the left," etc.

2) Since it's possible that players have dedicated > 20 minipets and listing those out would lead to a rather lengthy UI, include a sub menu system where if a player chooses "arrange display," it will first ask what position (like Honor and Fellowship do) and upon selecting the position, ask you what year pets you would like to choose from. This would help make the list of minipets not extremely long and only show ~15 or so minipets per category.

To illustrate my suggestion, here is an example of the type of UI I would suggest:

[arrange minipets]

Upon clicking the arrange option, it would ask what position you would like to edit:
[Position 1]
[Position 2]
[Position 3]
etc.

Upon clicking the position option you would be given the following options:
[1st year pets]
[2nd year pets]
etc.

Upon choosing the year, the minipets you have dedicated for that year are displayed:
[Shiro]
[Rurik]
etc.

After choosing the pet, it would go through the usual animation displaying the minipet. The user can rinse and repeat until they are happy with the display. We can also keep the "lazy" option of "display all" where the system decides.

To reiterate, I'm fairly certain I am not the only one who wishes we had the ability to customize our Monument of Devotion to display exactly what minipets we would like to show. My hope is that since the code for Honor and Fellowship already exists, this suggestion could be implemented by simply copying and editing their UIs and adding it to the Monument of Devotion.

Help a control freak out? Thoughts?

With only 10 (or even 5) minipets, you would no longer need a more complicated position description (although I think Position 1 - 20 isn't bad).

Keep the ideas coming. Hopefully someone who matters sees it .

Cant say notsigned coz its not a bad idea.

However, I dont think its that vital an idea, id rather they get gw2 out a week earlier then do this.
