Where is all the heros in GW1? Didn’t the Sun Spears say you never fight alone?

But seriously I believe GW is the first to introduce NPCs to your party in MMO. Before WoW even. So I am surprise to see Heros/Companions didn’t make a come back. Plus the dialog and addition story line make they fun to have a round.

I am not saying you should have them all the time. But just for general PvE and dungeon would be good.

I understand GW2 make everyone in your map effectively in your party but sadly it doesn’t always work out. Particularity not everyone is doing the same things. Since I like to explore, For most of the time I am soloing. Even when there is other people around, they are usually followed by a large train of mobs. More often people would just run toward you while you are trying to clear a skill point, access the skill point themselves while you fighting off the mobs they bring and run away again without helping you.

Combine this with the fast spawn rate at high level area, I find myself fighting a never ending cycle of mobs trying to clear any skill or resource point.

Even a single companion/ hero would severely cut down the dead I am experiencing. Also I can’t alway find people to do story mode dungeons. Unlike in GW1, I can’t just get a few NPCs together and do a mission, I have to spend 30 mins + doing the LFG spams.

BTW how does the LFG system work? I select the LFG flag and nothing happen. How do I get the group finder to work? Most other mmos I played I can select the dungeon, area, etc.

I liked the heroes a lot in GW1, but I fear in the open world game we have now those streetwise herculei (or whatever the plural is) would cause tremendous lag. Even one companion would double the load you put on the system, let alone 5.

Most other mmos with open world like WoW, SWTOR, etc have companions and they don’t seem to have lagging issues.

This won’t be so bad if there is an easy to use group finder. Currently I can’t figure how it works and LFG spamming seem to be alot of wasted time and non-fun.

PS you can have up to 8 NPCs in your party in GW1. I would be happy to see just 1 in the party for PVE and may 4 for dungeons?

I agree on that, even if it was just a message board type LFG pannel, it would improve things a lot.
