Guild Wars 2

Just saw some of the personal story around level 30 on my Asura Guardian where you start getting more exposure to the Destiny’s Edge guild and can start running through dungeons. It got me thinking about being able to run through dungeons with my own personal guild, NPCs comprised of my own alts to fill out the party for a dungeon. Running with this thought experiment, I guess one could combine alts from more than one player to form a party. It would have to be so as not to kill incentives to PUG with actual human players though.

I’ve been fantasizing about this exact thing since the hero system in GW1, honestly. Not just in dungeons either. I want this option EVERYWHERE. (Ok maybe not in PvP/WvW)

Why?
- Because I want to be antisocial sometimes. Or all the time. This shouldn’t mean that I can’t run a dungeon.
- Because I’m a control freak and I want to dictate everything about my companions; weapons, skills, armors, dyes, everything.
- Because I like the idea of combo attacks, but coordinating them with other players seems like it would be a pain.

Taking this idea and running with it, I would love a way to “tab” between characters to change your active character on the fly (obviously using a diff. key bc tab is already taken). All inactive characters would use the companion AI.
