Something I rly apreciate is that there is 1 hero of each class. And I rly hope there will be no missions like:

To access this mission Morghan must be in your party.

Wtf xD

Anyway I expected Gwen to be a hero....too bad it's kinda (pve mesmers will hate me) useless xD But we cannot say till we see what the game offers :P

I can't wait to have a hero, i've never had one lol (I've only got prophecies, no income atm because of high school)

once this comes out im forgetting the heroes i have now. except maybe koss.

or on the other hand no forget koss Jora is hot

and so is Gwen, BTW how old is she supposed to be? Vekk is cool but did anybody notice we're gonna be able to use a charr as a hero? the son of a boss everybody had to kill once we finished pre-searing.

The Tyrian Assasin couldve been trained in Cantha like ol boy was... what the hell is that monks name again?

Drag0noX · Aug 19, 2007, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Mhenlo was his name

I am so choosing jora and the charr :P

Vekk also, pinkie and the brain was a mad show

Who cares about ritualists and assasins from Tyria? The White mantle has always had the Ritualist class amongst their ranks, though actually being Necromancers. They always dropped Dervish weapons (White Scythes).
And Evennia looked very similar to a Paragon, so it would not be odd to see more Paragons among the white mantle. They just couldnt add too many professions in the first game, or the other two chapters wouldnt sell, it has nothing to do with lore.

I'm curious about Jora, is she actually a Norn goddess? Maybe one of the demi-goddesses compared to The Six.
According to the spoiler screenshots on http://flickr.com/photos/mmognation/1047924555/ she is.

I think the guy was calling her a goddess for her....."features".

Here's what I noticed.

If the available heroes for a class in Nightfall were male only, the one in EoTN is a female. If the class was female only in NF, you now get a male. If there was one of each sex available in Nightfall, the new EoTN one is a new race.

They really rounded out variety. Any mixed-class team of heros can be all female or all male.

Anyway, looking forward to these new heroes, it will allow variability in parties (eg. not everyone bringing Norgu if they need a mesmer, some will bring Gwen) but also will allow you to have more than 2 of one profession in your party without other humans.

I very very much doubt the Nightfall heroes will be required for anything in GW:EN except perhaps in the quest that takes you from Nightfall to EoTN. Perhaps Koss will ditch Melonni and start hitting on Jora in a cutscene. Would make for an interesting subplot

. Also i'm loving how Livia looks.

Konrow · Aug 19, 2007, 02:19 PM // 14:19

Man this is awesome. These heroes are way better than the NF heroes imo. Gwen is a must whenever i need a mesmer, and Jora i my fav warrior. And I get to kick arse with the Brain? whats more awesome than that?

The only exception being elementalists, which are all male...

You are quite right there.

Let's bring out a kurzick female ele to make it all right.

Jora, Livia and Tahlkora will be my faves, that's for sure...they all look better..hehe.

LumpOfCole · Aug 19, 2007, 10:04 PM // 22:04

A Luxon hero? Where is the Kurzick hero?

AlienFromBeyond · Aug 19, 2007, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Kurzicks suck, so it's understandable.

Hey, there's a turtle, go procreate plz.

Jora's cool. Too bad warriors are useless.

Free Runner · Aug 19, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I'll take a Luxon hero over a Kurzick hero Lukas clone. Besides they already have Gwen and Pyre at each others throats..a Kurzick hero would begin a Xandria vs Kurzick hero thing.

In the end it was probably a choice between the 2 factions and they decided to go with Luxon and make her Elder Rheas daughter for a backstory.

lson2ul · Aug 19, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

I think it's interesting how the people with the platinum pack will have 4 useless heroes. That's probably the reason they only made 10 skills for each class, to make incentive to buy the other expansions. Good way to indirectly jack money

Nanood · Aug 20, 2007, 12:02 AM // 00:02

7 heroes
7 heroes
7 heroes
Oh what fun it would be to use 7 heroes
