7 heros so i never have to put up with another French monk

Yawgmoth · Jun 09, 2008, 07:58 PM // 19:58

I keep seeing "7 heroes" every second post here, something that doesn't fit this thread at all... it may be on peoples' wishlists but this is speculation of what we can expect next, and 7 heroes is as likely as a higher level cap.

Now seriously I don't expect much to come, Anet hasn't been giving even smallest hints that something new for GW1 may be in the works.

A tiny hope comes from the announcement of Tormented weapons coming to HoM, the hope is that with advancement of work on GW2 they finally know how they want it to work and that we can expect a major update to it also including release of information about 'what counts'.

One of the last things i hoped for and expected to come was the Xunlai Marketplace, as it was something they really worked on before GW:EN and more later, but the project most likely got scrapped. I expected the latest time it could get released was the 3rd anniversary.

Only one thing we can be sure of: more events, event repetitions from last year, these will keep going for years to come. And more kinds of tonics every month.

I would really like to see them stop being afraid we might make a little money. For heavens sake it's not real. They have always been miserly about the prices on golds. They nerf every money making farm they can, ettons, griffons all the rest. Loot scaling!

Then they should get over themselves and let us use 7 heros, for the obvious reasons. It's not going to hurt pugs. The ones that want to pug will.

Then I am sick of there not being an auction house! There is too much crap in this game to look up every single item for its price. Trying to sell something is just a pain in the backside, it takes time you could be playing.
I would even be willing to pay cash to them for this upgrade. If they implement an auction you could upgrade your account for 20.00. Then those who want to use it could buy it and if you did not want it you could save the cash. I would not mind this because there is not monthly subscription and realize nothing in life or GW is FREE!

Don't forget sin/rit Primeval (still mystified why they missed that one the first time around)...

Oh, also monk headgear that's visible on a monk with hair.

This thread swiftly became a wish-list rather than a "what's next?" discussion. But, seeing as to how I'd like to make a new Mesmer, I wish they'd update the toons from Factions and (more specifically) Prophecies to look better!

I know - a lot of people like the Factions toons best. But, personally, the faces from Nightfall look better to me. And I'd like to make a Necro who is more bald (like NF) rather than have to go with a mohawk. There are faces in each that I sometimes prefer, but not the hair styles I am limited to. So, maybe make the looks available from any campaign we own, but we can start in whatever campaign we want? (NF toon in Prophecies, for example.)

Prince Rurik Blessing. You take the form of Prince Rurik. Your energy returns to maximum and you have -1 energy regeneration. You Wield a Fiery Dragon Sword and deal armour ignoring damage and attack 33% faster. If you die while under this blessing, you auto-rez as Undead Prince Rurik with full energy, have -2 energy regeneration, attack 33% faster, deal 50% more damage and have +5 health regeneration.

Yes, a joke. I don't really want to go into the skills and their descriptions because the above description says enough about the introduction of overpowered skills.

I'm guess on a more serious note, I'm guessing the introduction of a new dungeon/elite area where, upon completion, would give the player a chance to craft consumables.

Another speculation: more titles :/
Please don't make another grind-fest title...

-Hairdresser

-Emote for Champion/Gladiator titles
-Additional PvE areas/missions/quests/weapons
-Reasonable rewards for doing hard things (HM dungeon chests, for example)
-Nerf to Ursan and buff to underused skills to increase PvE group diversity

C'mon...we can get endgame weps for new professions in prophecies and factions so it would make a bit of sense...also new armor is always good because it adds diversity everyone's characters. And why the hell does Zaishen title have a rank when other titles that you need skill to aquire are unnoticed?

Unfortunately, this is probably what they will add:

-Ultra Hard Mode (all enemies get +25% extra of whatever they have in HM, plus more titles to go with it)
-More stupid grind titles which require no ability to obtain what-so-ever, just a lot of cash and time
-Bug and glitch fixes nobody notices or asks for
-Another tier to KoaBD, to ensure that people who already have max rank don't see the sun for another year or two (plus extra titles to help them achieve new max rank)

Hmmm... honestly I'm not this pessimistic, I really like some of Anet's updates, but a lot of the time I read them and i wonder how the heck anyone thought they would be good ideas (Z-Rank, PvE only skills, hero battle ranking). I'm just glad I play for fun and not titles anymore, because they don't annoy me as much ^^

So sad. And so very, very true. /sigh

Phineas · Jun 10, 2008, 07:50 AM // 07:50

I'd like 7 Heroes as well, but I am lucky enough to have a large screen. I wonder how many people would suffer from extreme clutter with 7 hero bars on screen.

My guess would be additional heroes available from the online-store so ANet could flog a few more $$ out of this dying nag.

Angel Killuminati · Jun 10, 2008, 09:33 AM // 09:33

For those wanting 7 heroes, you do realise you'd be better off buying a single player game, right? Online fantasy games are about working as a team with others around the World. The more you keep making the entire game 'do-able' with just yourself, it's not multiplayer anymore.

That's okay , its easy to get confused when you don't think something through and just assume your opinion is correct.

FYI, I'm in a guild with friends who are spread around the world and from all age groups and are not always online at the same time. When some of us are online we party otherwise we just fill in with some solo play for a bit.

U C? Solo and Multiplayer requirements . Amazing......

Anyway , on the topic.

What i see coming :-
7 Hero's - coming eventually , if only as a last gasp effort to prolong the life of GW (3 controllable , 4 not)
r7 KoaBD , possibly a new title or 2 to make this easier to acheive
Some revamped content , possibly a new end game area.

agrios · Jun 10, 2008, 09:48 PM // 21:48

I really dont see anything new coming. but...if so, Id like to have more storage options, face/sex/name change options and, why not, more realms of gods.

More armor for non Tyrian characters would be really a deal. Like, Luxon armor for Paragon, Citadel armor for sins,etc..

One update that is missing, from aeons ago, is to implement inscript system on drops from Tyria and Cantha.

I dont think ANet will ever implement 7 heroes, since it would be the last nail on the coffin of the PuGs. But yes, I would enjoy it. Very much.

slowerpoke · Jun 10, 2008, 10:04 PM // 22:04

Next to come is GW2. And all the features you wanted for GW1 will no doubt be kept for the sequel or its followups.

They need to sell whatevers newest, why give away sellings points for free.

ChaoticCoyote · Jun 11, 2008, 01:46 AM // 01:46

Implement full-hero parties, and I might start playing again.

Fix the HoM, so I see my Ranger's pet instead of a generic monument. Let me display the weapons *I* think are important, and the actual armor my character wears. I don't give a damn about passing anything on to GW2. I want a monument that actually represents my character.

Otherwise, I'd rather play other games.

shoyon456 · Jun 11, 2008, 03:28 AM // 03:28

What I do not like comming from anet is that we are FORCED to speculate on such matters. Personally, I like to take charge of things, say whats going to happen, and follow through.

Now I know they're running a business which requires things to be done in a certain way, but it seems like anet has been "flip-floppy" with their decisions. And in an attempt to hide their indecisiveness, they're just keeping quiet.

I'm not asking for new content or anything, I would just like to know exactly what anet wants/plans to do.

EDIT: On the other end, looking at how bitchy the forums are, I'm not surprised they don't want to share. Theres always QQ.

Agyar · Jun 11, 2008, 04:20 AM // 04:20

Hopefully nothing. 100% focus on Guild Wars 2 please.

icedwhitemocha · Jun 11, 2008, 08:45 AM // 08:45

Where is all this 7 hero stuff coming from? Is there any precedent or is everyone jumping on a random bandwagon?

Kyomi Tachibana · Jun 11, 2008, 09:52 AM // 09:52

Maybe they'll test out some armor storage. <3<3

I think Anet would get much love for that.

Zesbeer · Jun 11, 2008, 10:18 AM // 10:18

i think what would fix a lot of armor storage issues would be if elite armor/maxed was unbreakable, and unsalvageable. this would also stop a lot of hackers from destroying armor and selling the stuff for gold.

Nuclear war. Watch the fur fly.
