We can't determine the direction without statistics, and that's something only ANet has access to at this point. Even then I don't think it would be enough to truly identify what ANet should do next.

I'd say it's less to do with the heroes and more to do with the massive non-linearity of title hunting in general.

It would be nice if they opened up the henchies as heroes after this 7 hero thing. =D Honestly though, I can't wait to see this patch come around. With the exception of a few places, PUGs are exceptionally hard to come by. And the few that are there are simply cookie cutter- nothing fun about them. You HAVE to be of a specific build or you get the boot. Whats the point of even having a skill set or attribute points? You don't get to pick your own stuff. So, this will be for those of us who just want to have fun in GW.

So since we got some new items from WiK that we could add to our HoM, what about the upcomming GW:B stuff ("Crisis in Cantha")?

--not sure if this is the place for this thread

Or maybe the new GW:B content won't have a new weapon set.=p

Actually compared to heroes, yes they do suck.

For starters, you can't change their legendary skills. Like the monk healer who in order to heal you, RUNS into melee so it can cast Healing Touch, and then dies ... epic.

They also do not have any runes or insignia's, so no vigor runes, or attribute raising runes or anything, and all henchmen carry 'normal' inscriptionless weapons.

You also can't take henchies into FoW/UW/The Deep, or Urgoz

So please brush up on your facts next time.

Maybe there will be a new armor set for each profession that can be added to HoM?

No but I bet there will be Jade Brotherhood/Am Fah/Luxon/Kurzick/whatever faction they come up with costumes in the shop. And I'll buy them.

Iuris · Oct 13, 2010, 05:15 PM // 17:15

I think the HoM is all set now. The scoring categories are set, so adding a new weapon set would make them redo it all - and I doubt they will.

I also doubt any elite armors are forthcoming...

i'd like you to go to the HoM calculator and take a real hard look at it, see those four letters at the top "BETA"... yeah...

I'd like you to learn the difference between a program and the calculation that the program is intended to implement. I can write a calculator program to add 2 + 2 and label my program "BETA". That doesn't mean that 2 + 2 may someday be changed to add to something other than 4. (If it doesn't add to 4, then obviously my program is buggy, which is why I released it as beta.)

I wouldn't be surprised to see more weapons come out. Three sources for 15 weapons is a bit low. Even the hero armor has 6 different sources to obtain.

3 sources for 15 weapons isn't TOO bad

i mean
destroyer weapons are pretty easy to get as many players play all the dungeons as they were progressing through EoTN and with HM - mats aren't that hard to come by

Oppressor weapons are pretty simple after you beat BLA (i still can't -_-)

Tormented weapons are the hard ones but putting into consideration of all the super builds now, they can be bought without a gigantic hole in your wallet

Yes indeed they do but when did I say otherwise....
What I was saying is that henchies though not as good as heros....work just fine.(aside from areas where there are non or not enough)
So whats up guys???? What do you guys hate about the henchies???
Do you think if Anet made the ability to change henchies skills like heros would you use em more?
Or is it more then just the skill bar that brings up your henchie hate

All in all though Im open to 7 heros just fine now.....but im still sorta fixated on everyones hate towards henchies.
......give Cynn some love guys, make mhenlo red in jealousy

SpyderArachnid · Oct 13, 2010, 11:37 PM // 23:37

Maybe they release the Tengu Weapons from the BMP? I know alot of people who don't have the BMP, but would love to have those weapons. And this way, they wouldn't be instantly customized to you.

I do see new costumes coming, and hopefully wishing they are Jade Brotherhood and the Am Fah. Would love to have the female Jade Brotherhood for my Mesmer.

Henchies suck because you can't customize their build, control their INDIVIDUAL positions, can't equip them, and they have no runes period!

Furthermore, you can't even bring them to most of the elite areas. Henchies belong to a seperate lower category from heroes obviously.

BenjZee · Oct 14, 2010, 12:18 AM // 00:18

I doubt they would add armors, theres alot more work then you seem to think when designing them, especially with clipping issues and different sized characters etc. Though i've always wanted Mhenlo and Togo's armors...well we are revisiting Cantha.

If they do add a weapon set i think it would be nice to include them in the HoM because afterall we already have one for nightfall and prophecies, and a complete set for those who own EOTN - its only right that cantha have some sort of 'prestige' weaponry as their equal sharre/counterpart

slowerpoke · Oct 14, 2010, 01:57 AM // 01:57

Yeah lets add more useless inventory filling junk as rewards.

I'm happy you still have hope, son, it's important to keep your hopes up.

distilledwill · Oct 14, 2010, 09:14 AM // 09:14

I'm in the "buyable costumes" camp - I haven't forked out for the shining blade/white mantle stuff yet, but I'd probably go for an Ahm Fa ranger costume.

Also, I predict more royal gifts and medals of honour (I hope they don't implement different gifts/medals - it would cause unnecassery duplication).

Also - tengu mini?

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · Oct 14, 2010, 10:34 AM // 10:34

i'd like to see costumes as reward for doing the whole content
i'm not really rich, so i wont be buying stuff i wont use, but i'd like to do something for the costumes

and maybe those costumes you get from quests can allow you to do more quests
like you done alot of quests, and then when you wear such costume, you can do the quests related to those costumes

lots of work, but hey, we want a good content

could also be that you can only buy am fah costume, and get the jade brotherhood costume by doing those quests

ps. i hope this is in the right topic, as its also about the costumes

i agree that mesmers would look much better in that costume

weapons, well, i dunno, we already have some of those special ones
maybe new pve only skills

would be good, but i doubt it will come
maybe some kind of blessing, like NF has, and eotn has it at all places (like edification, heart of the norn, rebel yell, stout-hearted and lightbringer) and that for cantha places

sry i go a lil offtopic with this, as the topicname is items

weapons and costumes are ok, but i prefer something special, like the things i mentioned earlier
always getting costumes and weapons is ok, but i like to see something new, doesnt matter if it takes some longer
