Guild Wars 2

One of the greatest things of GW1 was being able to play the whole game with as many people as you wished. GW2 completely ditched this very popular mechanic. I’d love to see the return of heroes so if I wish I can play a dungeon by myself or just along with one other friend.
Sure it’d be more complicated AI they’d have to make for dodging but for skills it’d be pretty easy and players could easily micro manage their heal, utility, and elite.

How do you feel about the return of heroes?

Heroes killed gw1. You ask fora party and the common response was get better heroes. In addition outside of dungeons this game faceroll easy to solo. So i’m completely against them

Agreed …..Henchmen on the other hand would have you begging for real people so add them all you want

I seldom cared to play with other people except occasionally those I knew, so I actually liked heroes. I was only annoyed that it took so long to be able to form a whole party with them.

Guild Wars 2 being “faceroll easy to solo” is both a subjective judgment and highly variable relative to where you happen to be.

However, I lean toward “no” regarding heroes in GW2. It’s a different animal than NF/EotN, and I can think of a lot of other things I would rather dev time go toward.

Also for this I was mainly meaning heroes used in dungeons. The only real place the game forces you to play with others. If I want to go through the whole story alone I should be able to including the SM of dungeons.

Considering that trying to pull together a good group for dungeons (i.e. one without elitists and morons wanting to kick you after the final boss) is about as pleasurable as pulling teeth at the moment I would like to see the return of heroes/henchmen. Why should I, and people like me be dependent on people moaning about MF gear and stats, or trolls who want everyone else to do the hard work before kicking them from the group to invite their friends after the final boss?
