Lux/kurz and/or canthan elite dervish/paragon armor please!

I'm guessing, since they mentioned the possibility of a new hero, that that might be the end reward of one of the content additions. That and new minis/costumes/consumables, most likely.

They've already announced new hero - so any calculations for HoM could still change as new hero should have possibility to be added to HoM as old ones. We have at the moment +2 points for 11 weapon statues. They could change that to +1 point only, and create another +1 point for one weapon from new set.

You can add up to 33 weapons to that monument, yet mex points are awarded for only 15 weapons, so any others are not counted. You can add more than 50 statues to the Honor monument, yet max points stops at 40 statues.

Likewise, adding a new hero or a new weapon set can be done without making any changes at all to the scoring system. It would simply give you another way to reach max points if you have not already done so.

It would hardly be fair to change the scoring system at this point. It would be a disaster for ANet to have told people that they had their 30 points and all rewards, then come back months later and tell them they suddenly only have 29 points. No matter what you think of ANet, do you really believe they would do something that monumentally (sorry) stupid?

. Just one.
-Revisit to Cantha as the next part of GW:B.

I'm fine with festivals being what they are now, and I don't particularly care about new consumables or items. Derv and Para updates are essential for the health and balance of the game, and 7 heroes has been on the mind of the community for a looooong while.

I really hope they increase the number of heros we can take (especially if they are going to one more (at least). I would be happy with being able to only 5 heroes (that way in the places you can only have a party of 6 you can get max level npc without having to go HM), but being able to take a full party of heroes is what I would like if it happens.
As for the dervish update, I can't wait to see what they change and how they change it.

Perhabs Anet recalls thooouuuusand of threads begging for a complete list of zodiac and celestial weapons. So perhabs we get Zodiac spear, scythe and focus, and celestial spear scythe and focus? Wouldbefunyes? Would fit the canthan theme, and wouldnt drive the whole community mad that they aren't addable to HoM. So instead of an exchange item just make it a rare drop.

Would be a nice addition if the made a repeatable quest like BLA but with kurz and lux faction to be earned. It won't be a problem to get some help from other people when that would be the case.
All this HOM stuff got mosts alliances and guild with lacking faction, would be nice to get some faction rewards when the story continues.

Please don't take this as an insult, but the first words that came to my mind as I was considering your above suggestion were "gimmicked out faction farming parties".

aspi · Oct 16, 2010, 01:08 PM // 13:08

I dont mind

Its just so boring to farm faction, some change would be nice

Sorry, but I just had to do it.

I will probably stick to pugs for speed clears. But, DoA is a good example of something I may do with heros. Because I always wind up with way more titan gems than margos in SCs, I can go farm margos by myself. But mostly it will help motivate me to finish my titles. I have ALOT of work to do for those last 3 points on my HoM

I'm most interested in the possibilites for team building with heros. I can maximize physical way or combine mesmer and spiritway. Cant wait to see what people smarter than me come up with on PvX

MithranArkanere · Oct 19, 2010, 02:24 AM // 02:24

What worries me is that GW2 may be closer than we expected, if they are bringing now small-playerbase chances like 7 heroes and centralized party formation...

Are they expenting GW to get emptied of players anytime soon? GW2 would the only thing that would do that...

But that 'Canthan content' comes first! And what about nightfall? Would there be time for them?

Well see it during the upcoming months, at the same Anet-hour, on the same Anet-channel!

Konig Des Todes · Oct 19, 2010, 02:27 AM // 02:27

I think that GW:B would be continuing as long as Stumme (or whoever leads the Live Team after him) wants it to - so long as the GW1 servers remain up. GW:B and GW1's servers won't shut down the day GW2 is released. So yes, there will be time for the Canthan and Elonian content. And more. Even if they don't all come out before GW2's release.

And I think the full hero party was done more on the grounds that GW is an old game and that people who want to solo will just h/h anyways - so why not make it less annoying for them (especially when having to deal with low level henchmen such as in Kryta). And it allows better build customizations across the team(s). I don't think that is linked to GW2.

i give you 1 important one:

having fun making the builds

the game is dying slowly, and can die faster anyday, before it does, let em give us that, so that we have more fun

you gotta read the whole thing before posting, or do you read a few words of every post? hope not

oh, and another reason as bonus: as most people want it, like keeping the game alive as far as possible

You struggle in NM and you think you represent someone? lolwut.

At the very least he represents himself; and-as a player-his viewpoint does count. Whether he's "Struggling" or not...

Also, at least 50% loved 7 Heroes, so there's lots more than just he who share that viewpoint.

lolwut, indeed...

i wanted to mention 1 thing, even though i am not very good, as i have my reasons, i still have seen 5 years of gw, how it was going up like a spear and down like a rock

it seems that i'm not the only one thinking the way i do, and i'm not the only veteran who can say how the game was going down like mad after heroes came, and after eotn was completed by many people

many friends left cuz of the reason that the game was boring, and they all had their reasons, and i can tell some already came back, just cuz of the HoM calculator, and will also enjoy full hero teams

after this post, i guess i wont reply on your replies anymore, i hope you, too will have a good time with full hero party

and thx for the 2 of you for trying to help me, not being against him, but for being nice to me
