I just thought of another possibility while watching a certain mini that I acquired the other day:

Candysmith Marley.

Think about it. Why else would somebody who only appears once a year as a collector at a Wintersday event (and, under another name, as a vendor of pink dye) have gotten her own mini? Character minis have _always_ previously been assigned to heroes and to NPC's who are, for one reason or another, important to the game's storyline. It hardly makes sense to have one of this year's "grape" minis be a very minor NPC unless a bigger role is being planned for her. (She'd certainly fit the "unexpected" and "doh!" quotients!) Also, since Marley has no defined profession, except "collector", it'd be easy to make her a multi-profession hero.

-_- thank you very much! now you got a silly image to enter my head. *pictures marley trying to wack people with her candycane stick* ;oo; cant stop laughing. thought it would fit our unexpected outlook for a hero.

Then again that miniature could be because they love the model so much and it didnt really have much a use ingame and chance to be showed off...
though the above image does made me laugh too

So why do we need new heros?

Obey The Cat · Nov 12, 2010, 04:13 PM // 16:13

If it's a new hero who can change profession... we all need it.

3 Me
3 Rt
4 Ne
4 E
4 Mo

all nice to have imo.

AndrewSX · Nov 12, 2010, 05:21 PM // 17:21

A Shiro'ken hero...mesmer or ritualist would be great.
Just no more sins please....

Obey The Cat · Nov 12, 2010, 07:15 PM // 19:15

They already stated it won't be a new sin.

MagnumShadow · Nov 12, 2010, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Nameless Lich as a hero

We don't necessarily need new heroes. At least one new hero will join your party as part of the new Cantha Guild Wars:Beyond content though.

MithranArkanere · Nov 12, 2010, 08:54 PM // 20:54

It would be cool if there was a way to get at least 7 heroes of each, just try try crazy builds with all characters of the same profession.

I always wanted to try what a party with elementalists only could do. I bet they'll be invincible.

Lawliet Kira · Nov 12, 2010, 11:03 PM // 23:03

I must be really out of the loop, there's going to be a 7 hero update?

Obey The Cat · Nov 12, 2010, 11:11 PM // 23:11

Yes - and my hope is, that they just remove the cap. So even 11 heroes would be possible.

Maybe they're gonna fix this? MOX blows up and inside is an Asuran Mesmer!

MArcSinus · Nov 12, 2010, 11:51 PM // 23:51

A hero which can change profession will just cause everybody to use 4 necro's anyway..
I rather have a new rit or mesmer..

I actually could care less about a new hero, the 7 hero party's are what I'm looking out for!

Wildora Fox · Nov 21, 2010, 10:58 PM // 22:58

I think it could be a Seer.

There is one laying on a table on the secret lab during WiK. Who knows, maybe Blimm and Zinn are doing something with it.

After reading the comments from the people on the test crew, my bet is on Mad King Thorn. It seemed pretty ridiculous at first, but we just did quests to get him to the mortal world, so it would definitely be a /facepalm, yet completely unexpected moment.

I still really want an envoy... Emissary Heleyne or Courier Torivos, please!

madriel222 · Nov 22, 2010, 12:56 AM // 00:56

My toon is on a thirst strike until we get a Margonite Paragon hero.

As Anet watches my character wither away from a lack of alcohol I hope they'll see the error in their ways...

RedDog91 · Nov 22, 2010, 01:51 AM // 01:51

Forget the new hero...i want pandas back as a charmable animal

According to one TK member, the new hero choice is someone who we're very familiar with. Once he/she is revealed, a lot of people are probably going to slap themselves for not guessing such an obvious choice.

Dang teasers.

I almost want to say I think it may be Evennia...but I hope not.
