We've been able to add up to 7 heroes since the last update, but the compass and hero flags are still only 3. You can't order your 4th-7th hero, only 1st-3rd and the whole group.
Would you use this new panel or would you find useless?

Anet did that on purpose they didn't want you to be able to micro evrything so there would still be some reason to PUG. I was suprised we could open skillbars while in instances for the 5-8 hero's

As already mentioned in many other posts

Straight from the Developer Update:

However, Heroes in these last four slots will follow the "Order All" flag, as opposed to having individually numbered control flags. We still want to have incentives for players to fight side-by-side. Allowing a single player to extensively micromanage his team would detract from the greatest strength of groups: coordination.

I see this as meaning they don't intend on making any changes to the flagging/control system for heroes. If you need more control, play with other humans.

I don't personally see this to be any kind of problem. I mean why go through all the trouble of adding 7 heroes and not adding under the compass. If they want more people pugging I think A-Net should fix the classes that still need a fixing as thats whats causing most people to stop pugging/playing GW.

didnt we already have a thread about this?

i think i remember anet saying that this was intentional so that there would be an "advantage" to partying with people instead of just going with heros.

gremlin · Mar 08, 2011, 08:45 PM // 20:45

yes we had more threads and they had similar comments.

Personally I think before posting a thread you should at least read the update notes.

Developer made it quite clear why its been done this way.

As others said, search, but if you really NEED 7 flags, urdoinitwrong.

C'mon this last update basically made it simple for anyone to get GWAMM. Now you complain about 7 hero's. Maybe Anet ashould just hire people to play for you.

Snorph · Mar 08, 2011, 11:29 PM // 23:29

I don't have a problem at all with it, controlling 3 heroes is fine for me. However with that said, if your going to do an update, do it right. I don't see it a problem for anyone really, I don't have a problem with it myself. But how hard is it to add 7 flags? I mean really? Surely they can add 7 hereos to your bar, and 7 heroes to your party, but not to the compass? Really again, how hard is it? LOL... Would you make a word processor without a spell checker? Well maybe microsoft would, LOL.

Anyways not a problem for me, just I don't understand why a game company, any game company would make an update so good but yet forget to add something so easy it wouldn't take a Nasa rocket science to figure it out.

If your going to do it right, then do it right. It's annoying little things like that make me think what were they smoking? Whatever it was I want some. I can imagine that their sitting in a big room, long table with lines of coke sitting on the table, and thinking out loud, hey, I have an idea, let add 7 heroes to the game, but guess what, we'll leave 3 flags on the compass, why? Because I went to collage for 20 years and worked for Nasa to make this idea and be paid millions while spending it on my coke to snort up my nose.

Not mad, just cracks me up. Don't take this wrong guys, I am just laughing about it, thats all. Just kinda funny.

Heck I was good with 3 heroes even, never really had a problem with H/H.

the last heroes were just implemented so they wouldn't have to update the subpar henchmen skills

because they would still like for players to interact with each other, this game wasn't meant to be for solo play

and again, they EMPHASIZED this in their update notes

as easy as it is, i honestly don't understand why people keep whining about this issue. be happy they even gave you the 7 hero update

IronSheik · Mar 09, 2011, 01:55 AM // 01:55

In a way, I understand wanting and not wanting 7 flags.

Anet stated they don't let you micro them all so as to avoid it being too much like a human team. (Notice you can't hotkey heroes 4-7 skills.)

But at the same time, doesn't even adding heroes at all defeat the purpose of recruiting humans? Why not let us control them all since you've added them.

I myself am too lazy to micro, so I don't care either way.

**Marty Silverblade** · Mar 09, 2011, 05:56 AM // 05:56

ArenaNet said no. They're not going to change their decision on this a week after the update. As such, I don't think there is a reason for this to stay open.

Closed.
