Doesn't bother me at all.

It would be cool, if they made a Tengu hero as an Assassin or Ritualist sometime in the future.

3 derv heroes is tight.then we need 1 more sin,1 more rit, and 1 more mesmer

I'm grateful we're getting something for free, even if it is a profession I don't use.

Also, I hope it doesn't look like a run-of-the-mill G.O.L.E.M. Asking for a new skin/model at this point is probably wishful thinking. Making it look similar to a Forgotten Weapon, in my opinion, would be an excellent choice.

I'd be happy with an Iron Forgeman skin.

Hmmm - I'm wondering about armor upgrades for it like "cloth of the brotherhood." Wonder if they will be available.

Personally, I'm okay with this hero being exclusive. As long as it's a regular profession without any separate skills to set them apart, it awards those who are that dedicated to get all four games. It would just be a standard hero but make new players feel like they have some power on their side, whether or not they are simply purchasing all four games again or they're a new player, it's the reward that counts.

And to those complaining about having the three campaigns and the expansion already, I'm with you there. But, I don't care.

It's like this. The buyer of the box set cleaned the whole house in one sitting. As for us, we took several day breaks before we finished cleaning the whole house. The faster worker obviously deserves a reward. Shelling out $200 isn't something every paycheck to paycheck household can do. You may as well complain that the people who buy the CE of individual games get a special dance plus a bonus minipet or what not.

From the Professions that had two Heroes for them, Dervish seemed to make the most sense to the designers, after taking into account Mox's origins.

There's also another important thing to note about Mox. He will not be usable in PvP. There are several reasons for this. First is his massive size. There were concerns about players using him to make target selection more difficult. Secondly, Mox's Avatar forms look different. The designers were concerned about having players learning another set of Avatar forms, and thought this would not be a good idea for PvP. Thirdly, it's difficult to tell what weapons Mox is wielding, and this is another important concern in PvP. After weighing all these factors, the designers came to the decision that allowing Mox in PvP had more negatives than positives, thus this Hero is PvE-only.

Seems interesting. No problems here, as I am PvE-only as well. Woot.

I agree though, that Derv makes the most sense. I can't see a Golem being able to move fast enough to be a Sin, or have the nimble-ness to be a Mes. >_>

Yea, besides the fact that i don't use melee heroes, it all seems cool, and im rather excited to get Mr. Mox

MrGuildBoi · Aug 13, 2008, 12:33 AM // 00:33

So which one of these will be our hero?

Stolen Souls · Aug 13, 2008, 12:34 AM // 00:34

My guess would be the second one

slowerpoke · Aug 13, 2008, 12:40 AM // 00:40

good to see Regina keeping us informed

I'd say that you're looking at the forms - they do look thematically similar to the gods.

Oh and wooooooooo!

Kerwyn Nasilan · Aug 13, 2008, 01:08 AM // 01:08

Yay, gg Anet

Shanny · Aug 13, 2008, 01:17 AM // 01:17

I'm very excited for a new Derv hero, it might give me some insentive to stray away from Sabway for a bit.

Lyonette · Aug 13, 2008, 01:29 AM // 01:29

lol a Golem hero, this is sweet

can't wait to have a massive amount of animated stone thumping around with me in Tyria xD!

Lady Raenef · Aug 13, 2008, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Ah, reading the forum pages I now know that this will be obtainable by everyone. So, Regina, want to share a basis of how MOX will attack based on his massive size? Will weapons be small thumb tacks or be large and massive quite like the GOLEM itself?

Dr.Jones · Aug 13, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

i don't know having 3 rits, or paras could be useful for a spike build in pve. but its nice to hear that it is pve only will there be a more plan ch that would be used for pvp???

edit: in response to wut some one else posted i would use mesmers or sins or rits or paras more often if a paras actually maintained refrains and i would use the other classes more if i had 3 of them being able to control 3 heros opens up a lot of different builds. also thanks Regina for responding.

doudou_steve · Aug 13, 2008, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Wow!

First a great update and now a new Hero?
It's confirmed, Anet has been replaced by aliens!!!
