Thoughts on our role in the story
“it’s weird that I cannot order some pact troops to help with the fight against scarlet,”
I think that’s not really possible. If everyone who reached that point in the PS would call in troops there would be two outcomes:
a) the events would be too easy, if say 50 players are at an event and calls in pact troops there would be 50+ npc’s doing dmg to the target.
b) If they balance this out by making the troops weak, what’s the point? They would either become easy fodder killed in 2 seconds or they would just be in our way.
ALL HAIL TRAHEARNE! TRAHEARNE IS ALL, TRAHEARNE IS ETERNAL!
Anet could fix this by making a new PvE elite skill ‘Call Pact Support’…which would function like the Charr’s warband support.
That would make our characters true commanders of the pact.
