Something is not right here...

So you can make 8 characters mercenaries so you can take the other 7 on any one of them.

Might as well be a 10 pack then so you could do each profession.

You can delete and re-add characters as you want, not a big deal...

could you grab a cheap set of armour from shing jea, and then make a hero with that?
running around with multiple me's would freak me out i think xD

Here's a quote from "Leader" personality of Mercenary:
"We are proud and defiant, and our will"

Just thought it'd be useful for the wiki people here ^
I'd love if people documented the quotes.

....heh. I kinda thought this was interesting.

I'm probably going to cave and get the triple pack. Despite the fact that I think it's about 5-10 bucks too expensive, it's just too cool of a feature to pass up.

Got 3 merc heroes and its fun to use your own chars. i only wish they had a basic weapon. Im glad that i have all the /bonus weapons but with that emote my whole bag is full. And that on all chars.

The issue is that getting their drops is it gives a very large unfair advantage to people who buy all 8 over those who only buy 3, 1, or none. You'll be getting all the drops from an 8 man team.

ANET does not sell anything in the store that gives you an advantage over other players.

novawhiz · Mar 03, 2011, 11:49 PM // 23:49

This is ridiculous, i cant beleive anet did this.

Rinky dinky eye-candy costumes for sale is one thing, but charging people for something game changing like this? Pathetic. Is anet this greedy for money, they resort to something like this?

We should have had the X/X hero option years ago, well before the idea of 7 heroes. Now 7 heroes come out and you cant make all the possibilities you want without forking over 45 bucks??? What?

I just lost so much respect(?) for this company.

Dzjudz · Mar 03, 2011, 11:51 PM // 23:51

I do agree that this is the first time that Anet has made something non-cosmetic something you need to pay for.

Nobody really needs seven necromancers, sir. I really think players who have all the normal heroes will do just fine.

I personally don't like playing with heroes at all, but I'll get some these to make hero-ing less dull. Assuming PUGs still exist, if not then I won't.

bhavv · Mar 04, 2011, 12:00 AM // 00:00

My new mercenary heroes

<3. I didnt add my elly yet, but ofc I will do for an extra searing flamer on my alts. I'll make a necro for my 6th character, then I have 2 slots left and I dont like the other classes

So maybe a second Elly + Necro

Xslash · Mar 04, 2011, 12:02 AM // 00:02

can u add a mercenary hero wearing a costume?

if so, thats like DOUBLE PAYMENT.

Whether you choose to use it or not, being able to have more than three heroes of a particular class in your party is an advantage.

DarkGanni · Mar 04, 2011, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Ok so I'm a bit confused probably cause of the last few beers, Apart from having 7 necros or anything of the same profession, the only real difference from heroes is that mercs can have same look and armors as the real characters?

Thanks in advance, kinda confused about this

$10 for an added toon gives you something that these mercenaries don't: a new toon. Full inventory, full heroes for added inventory, and annual gifts. The third bit might not matter much now since any new character made now will be unlikely to give you any kind of profit from annual gifts, but the other benefits are still there.

I don't think the ability to use my other characters as heroes is worth half as much, up to the same amount, as a whole new character, especially when the heroes we have now are more than sufficient.

Also...does anyone here think they'll actually add another hero to the Canthan GW:B chapter? not likely.

FoxBat · Mar 04, 2011, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Few questions for people that bought:

1) How does deleting work? Is there a warning about wiping items/runes from the hero instances on your chars?

2) Does updating the same char (e.g. to change armor) require deletion?

3) Can you register the same char into multiple slots?

4) Can you register a char, then delete the char & keep the hero?

5) If #4 works, can you roll a new char with the same name? Can they then add the earlier hero or does it "count" as yourself?

bhavv · Mar 04, 2011, 12:24 AM // 00:24

It warns you that removing yourself as a mercenary will wipe all the items you have on your mercenary.

Theres a bug with my elly, my vabbian headlamp didnt show up on my mercenary, but my other toons headgears did

I want my headlamp on my mercenary
