This simple command of where I want them to stay has enabled me to do much of the harder ascalon missions totally with henchies only and without the usual aggro nightmare. Anet pls leave this even after the event! It's only a month away anyway!

Agreed. Quests and missions are going so smooth since this. I used it in the forest yesterday extensively (because the henches always agro something) and it worked like a charm! Best update ever!!

Definitely leave the gathering flag, but my only wish right now is that ANET at least fix or reverse what they did to the hench AI on the 20th. The flag is not enough to control them. Don't believe me? Here's a perfect example of how screwed up they are now.

Working backwards through arborstone, I have devona in my party. There is an overpass (near the courtyard) with some of those stone ran monster thingies up top. Due to some very bad aggro on the henchies part, I set the flag rally point beyond the overpass to a safe spot. All of the henchies, after several agonizing seconds, make it to the rally point.... except devona. What does she do? As soon as her aggro bubble touches the enemies up top, she promptly runs off back up the ramp stops at the top, and waits there for several seconds, then comes back down the ramp towards my rally point. She aggros again, and runs up the ramp again. This goes on for some time til she's nearly dead and finally comes to the rally point. And this is just 1 area with Devona. Believe me, I've been running into this problem all day with several henchies.

Should the flag rally point feature stay? Certainly. It gives another option to hard controlling the henchies. Is it the be all to end all solution to controlling henchmen? At the moment with their current retarded AI, most certainly not.

I'd really like to get them to the other games.

And i think it would be fair if all games had the gather point. Can Galie answer this PLSSSSS?

I wish we had a separate command to send just the henchies in via flag. We can do Henchies and Hero or Hero....but theres no Henchies only flag.

No...only Nightfall characters will have the hero. Im not positive but I seem to remember reading someplace that the hero will only be activatable in Nightfall. It would be nice if the heros could be used in the previous chapters though.

I THINK that using the hero flag overrides the all flag. so using them before could make your heroes stay put.
