It's not a mechanical advantage. It is, admittedly, an advantage in being able to collect wealth, as you have a better ability to squirrel stuff away rather than selling it and possibly having to buy it at a premium later, but once you're in a zone, it doesn't matter how many extra panes or mules you have. You may not be able to bring as much loot back if you have some of the stuff you've packratted still stuck in your character's inventory, but lack of panes and mules doesn't mean you can't sell off enough stuff that your character bags are empty - and while the big equipment packs are pretty darn expensive, you'll note that they aren't available as an RMT.

Increasing the hero cap would be... close if not actually over the line into a dangerous precedent. I could stomach it if it was like the skill unlock packs (ie reasonably easy to achieve ingame) but if it's done so that it can only be done via RMTs, I would seriously reconsider making any further GW-related investments.

On a serious note, while I used to love the idea of 7 heroes - at least for the Deep/Urgoz, I MUST now disagree with it fully, as Anet is working to put the community together (through the Zaishen Quests at the moment) and allowing 7 heroes would toss the community to seperate ends of the universe, never to converse, never to see, never to hear, eternal loneliness, eternal pain... so quiet, so dark... help... you will call for help, for people, but it will be heard in vain. Because, humans are social creatures, and you asked and were given the thing you thought you wanted, but realized to late, you hated.

Oi, oi. I went out of serious mode. I guess I can't stay serious for long anymore... I hope those men in white don't come...

Anyways, *serious mode.... on!* posts have gotten too long throughout the thread to bother reading at 12:30 at night... yay. I'm a cheap ass and would not pay it. At this point, I'd hate them for bringing it out. But I know they won't as it's been said they won't do that. And if the idea crosses their minds, Linsey will find a little surprise.... *_*

I think you drifted out of serious mode again there towards the end...

Konig Des Todes · Apr 29, 2009, 05:53 AM // 05:53

No I didn't. You're crazy.

-in response to your response to this response which is a response to a response to the OP's response to the addition of in-game store items being added as a response of players pleading for things which is a response of them realizing it can be done through various things like banned names and april fools-

No! You are!

It would be interesting to have a game mode where no heroes henchmen summoning stones etc are available.
Would really like to see how many would play such a mode where human players are the only choice.

Would it bring us all back to the early days of good community spirit, if so its an important thing to discover before gw2 is released.
Please make a long weekend event where all the heroes and henchmen go on strike and see how it affects us
Is it possible do you think

Wrath of m0o · Apr 29, 2009, 08:56 AM // 08:56

yes..
I would pay $99.99 each if i could run 8/8 Paragons in PvE by myself.

toocooltang · Apr 29, 2009, 03:45 PM // 15:45

I would pay to bring 8 heros. On a side note I have yet to group with anyone to do a z-quest besides a guild member or two

Tullzinski · Apr 29, 2009, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Be cheaper to just pay to restore ursan to its original state for $4.99

discord/sab/ray and any other ways already eat PVE up. 6 discord type heroes just melt enemy groups instantly into little pools of goo.

Having all hero groups = last nail in PvE's coffin. No.

make heros not available for hard mode? I would love to see how people react to that. LOL

Darkobra · Apr 30, 2009, 05:57 PM // 17:57

I'd like 7 heroes. I don't need them and I'm definitely not paying for them. It'd be nice to have but not THAT nice.

You must be someone who plays during primetime. I had a tendency to mostly play with henchmen even before Factions was introduced, because getting a party of real people together at what's equivalent to around 5am in the US is easier said than done.

Even in primetime, at least leave the monks. Whatever your opinion on the balance between PUGs and hero/hench mode, 6 players and two hero monks has to be better than three groups of 6 players competing to be the first to jump on any monks that show up in the district.

But I suspect that the main result of a 'no AI' weekend is that a lot of the people who habitually play H/H will just find something else to do that weekend.

Why? Because instead of playing with two types of AI ally, we play with one type? You PUG players suck at Guild Wars, we won't play with you either way, so why not give us heroes?

The only reason not to is perhaps if you want to reduce our potential fun. "Dev time better spent on other things" isn't really an issue if we're paying for it.

Right, so:

1. The idea of seven heroes has been continually shot down by virtually everyone at ANet.

2. This thread was not really about seven heroes, but invariably and unsurprisingly, we've gotten to that topic.

There is nothing more to discuss here. Closed.
