I also wish we could edit thier AI to our liking and play style. But then there are all sort of saying about "If wishes were ...". If both of those were done I don't think I would have any real issue with them - after all any AI problems were my fault and who can complain if they have decent equipment? But then - who am I to complain? I find them better than most PUGS anyway (not that I'm anything great either - they just do what I tell them and don't complain when I aggro too many mobs or get them killed

).

All I want is for them to be infused by THK.

I don't mind that they take gold and drops (although it would be nice to see the drops before they take it.) That helps you to know if something just isn't dropping well in the area or if it is being taken by the henchies.

What I do wish they would do is PICK UP the gold since it gets shared anyway! The only time I need to use my mouse when out fighting is to pick up gold or items. Luckily I had a friend join up recently and I went through the game with him and pretty much got him trained to pick up all the gold so I don't have to

It is like my own little human hench!

I'd like them to level too. If monsters in pre-sear can for a cheezy and pointless route to level 20, why can't henchies? Proving once again the mob AI is actually >> henchy AI.

'Alesia get out of the way!'
'Orion Firestorm doesn't work well anymore!'
'Guys #!@&^* get out of Maelstorm already!'

Really tho? Wouldn't you just cry yourself to sleep knowing that yourself and 7 henchies got increda-drops, but actually you yourself got bupkiss?

Would be nice to know what is out there I suppose, but if this guys just wants the coin from the henchmen, guess what's going to be a much much more popular thread after such a change?

edit - and as they still can't handle running out of AoE, I can't wait to see the Henchy barter system implemented lol

Yeah, exactly the same way I cry now when I go with a full party of real people and see them get all the amazing drops and I get nothing of consequence.

Computer or human, doesn't matter to me, I still like to see what all drops froma creature.

henchies do level up.

i was out on a long run and saw 2 of them level but when i got where i was going they reset.

They're henchmen you HIRE them. The gold split during your run with them is their payment for accompanying you and them dying left and right because you just wanted them as fodder. >_<

oneiros · Jan 18, 2006, 10:45 PM // 22:45

Another reason they dont have henchies items actually drop and then go pick them up is because if you saw an uber item drop for alesia and shes dead, would you res her and let her grab it or wait 5 minutes till you can pick up the item?

chris_nin00 · Jan 18, 2006, 10:53 PM // 22:53

That would be nice if you could trade with henchmen

But I see some exploits there so don't say that idea anywhere.

Or you can kill off the henchies one by one and raid their bodies...
