7 heroe parties in GWEN? - Guild Wars Forums

frodo7 · May 22, 2007, 05:05 PM // 17:05

I was thinking that since after GWEN comes out and we will have around 25 heroes available, that it would be nice to be able to fill out your party with heroes entirely. I mean, if we are spending the time and resourses to level, and outfit 25 heroes with runes, weapons, etc... then having a whole party of them makes it a lot better. Im sure some of you will say to just take henchies, but thats not the point. If having heroes is a direct reflection of the player and his or her own skills, then why have a watered down experience by taking henchies.

It might happen. It'd be one hell of a buying incentive, that's for sure. But on second thought, if they were to make that happen, it wouldn't make much sense to have it be included only for people who purchased GW:EN.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I do agree, however, that it'd be much more fun with 7 hero slots. It'd be pretty old-school, in my opinion. It would also satisfy those who aren't able to find enough players for hard mode.

...or lack thereof?

I'm not sure if A-Net will want to aggravate the multiplayer problem that currently exists in GW:EN.

QFT on the finding enough players for hard mode. Heros+Henchies IMO, along with a lot of other people, have always been better than pugs. Having the 7 heroes in a party would definetly help out.

Would that also cause prices to inflate a little bit, hopefully, on green weapons? So then you can pimp out your hero? Sunspear, and DoA armor? Hmm...This could benefit a lot of different things.

Please let this come true...full hero parties are a dream I have.

Red-Tide · May 22, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Gaile has said this will not happen because "The game is not designed for more than 3 heroes"...

I think its crap but thats my opinion. 7 Heroes FTW!!!!

Side note - I was helping a friend do a NF mish on the weekend and he wanted to use PUG's. I said sure, we can "try" it. After 3 tries with PUG's, we did it first shot with heroes. I loathe PUG's! Please Anet gimme 7 heroes!!!!

If that happened... then they could make a cutscene where the great destroyer (or whatever villain) brutally murders Mhenlo and the henchies... That alone would be worth the price of admission.

Amen. I remember when Henchie AI was worse then now. Me and my mate always despised having to take Mhenlo with us-considering he only used 1 skill, and took about 10 minutes to res after a battle.

I made a monk just so i didn't have to group with him again...

Big_Iron · May 22, 2007, 06:44 PM // 18:44

That would be awesome, though I have to admit, henchie AI has gotten a lot better. I recently tried Hell's Precipice with a PuG. We were wiped almost immediately. I had a strong feeling we weren't going to make it given the make up of the team, but I digress. I immediately went back with heroes and henchies and it was a walk in the park. No one died even once, proving once again, heroes and henchies are still better than the average PuG.

It has been stated that players will never have more than 3 of their hero's in the party at a time. As we don't exactly know what GW:EotN will bring, anything said here by non devs, etc is speculation. also, if you have a suggestion concerning this - go to the Suggestion forum and post your thoughts there.
