Animate Guardian Inventory?

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm stepping out of line when I say this, and I'm mostly new to the game, but permanently losing your armor if you die in non-hardcore league sounds awful. So, I was thinking that it would be cool if animate guardian could have it's own dropdown inventory where you can equip things that you don't lose forever onto your guardian.

And it would also be cool if we you were allowed to swap gear without losing the previous gear. Kind of like how ascendancies have a drop down second tab on top of the passives page.

I just was really moved to post this idea since I thought animate guardian was such an amazing idea! I thought it was super cool to have a buddy/pet in combat that follows you around, a customizable minion that can be a buffbot following you around that also tries his best in combat (or actually deals damage if you make a build around it).

I hope I can get an answer to this post.

im not sure how to know if my post has been looked at

GGG very, very rarely responds to these kinds of posts. You'll never have any way of knowing if/when they look at this, unless they respond to the post or message you directly. Both of which are extremely unlikely.

That said, I don't think they would ever give AG a usable inventory. It's intended for the items to be sacrificed and at risk of permanent loss. Being able to at least check what they're equipped with wouldn't be a bad thing though, as it's not always obvious just by looking at the AG itself.

animated guardian is a different concept, not meant at all to be a somewhat "regular soldier" you can equip

its meant like "take scrap iron, build your frankenstein monster, and go until its expired".

people repeatedly simply MISUNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF THIS PARTICULAR MINION TYPE.

yes, its not cool to loose your kingmaker and vuln. corrupted gloves on the AG, but thats the game, do not use these in the first place if you cry when the AG dies !

Why you gotta be rude like that? I'm just asking for a quality of life thing, I know it is working as intended, but I think that my suggestion would just net more people a better experience.

Thank you for your feedback regardless.

It wouldn't, because that's breaking the entire concept of AG. It's a spell. A SPELL. Think about it.

How can you interact with a spell, let alone give it inventory space? It's not a companion like in D2 where you interacted with an actual human NPC.

I completely agree with the design of AG PoE has implemented.

if you lost your personal gear each time you died in poe softcore league no one would play the game mode except tryhards that refuse to die.

Being a person with limited time makes me dread the idea of losing progress in a game that I play for fun. Not for the sake of proving to anyone how competitive I am or flexing how my animate guardian doesn't die with the fifty exalt I don't have and will never see in a league.

I don't see a reason not to request something that exclusively benefits the average person and does not hurt the person that wants to go above and beyond.

I am also not asking for it to be unkillable and to deal unmatched damage; simply asking for it to behave like something that is more enjoyable to the average player with limited resources.

Thank you for your feedback regardless.

wrong ive lost 40-50 ex a league sometimes with AG and I still use him, im using him now actually. Its your job to put gear on him and think about it before you gear him. Its price you pay for putting all damage gear on him and no defense gear. I dont want it changed, if it changed would take away from what AG is actually about.

BTW I used about 10 chaos on my current AG and he is basically unkillable.

Inventory where you can swap out what is equipped, no. But it would be nice if his tooltip showed what was equipped. AG is already insanely OP. He needs the cost vs reward to balance him out. I’ve considered adding him to several non-minion builds as his own 4L.
