Petition to add "Carry" "Drop" commands to heroes
In some quests/ missions, players need to carry a torch/a keg/a stone for a quite long travel. The travel , of course, is not peaceful. Players have to fight the mobs, command the henchies, having a keg in both hands is absolute frustrating for above things. if you are a melee guy, carrying torch is pretty much make you useless. If you are a casters, you cant wand up with a keg in hand and ofter get displaced when you choosing targets and commanding henchies
Now , we have heroes, it would be wonderful if we can have our heroes carry those thing for us so we can concentrate on fighting/commanding and all other things.

I had thought of this, but I mean since henchmen are so leet there has to be some kind of down side to using them lol.

I completely agree with that. Some things can only be dropped and never picked up again (so I have to get a new one...) and its hard pulling w'o a longbow

Even with the extreme age, I'm pretty sure a more recent thread of the past 365 days addressed this issue. Unfortunately, nothing was done about it.

It gets annoying having to carry things. It's fine if you're a caster, but if you're a dervish, warrior, or assassin, you can't do much while holding that bundle that is so precious to the mission.

The inability of heroes to carry things is needlessly punishing H/H players.
Implementation: when targeting an item, click the Lock Target button on a given hero. They then move to it and pick it up. The Drop Item button for heroes (replaces the Lock Target button when a hero casts an Item Spell) is already there and ready. I don't think it would be hard.

I just H/H'ed Gayala Hatchery this afternoon and it was really annoying having to run a relay race to keep two of the smoke canisters within a reasonable distance. And lest we forget the third one I abandonded after one or two relays trying to grab it.

I've had this idea many times.
It could be also used to handle bundles to allies.
#1. Add a 'Give' button next to the 'Drop' button.
#2. Add a 'Give' button next to the 'Drop' button in Hero panels too.
#3. Select target, hit 'Give'. If the target is a party member or a Hero, the item would be handed over.
A. Of course, this won't work with Ritualist ashes, only with things like Flags, Repair kits, PvE bundles, etc.
B. Henchmen would be out of this too. They won't take or give bundles.
C.Heroes would be able to pick bunles, but won't be able to use them. For eample, in D'Alession Seaboard, if you are a Warrior you could pick the Melandru Offering, give it to Olias, and the you'll have to take it from Olias (by selecting yourself and hitting his 'Give' button) to be able to use it.
That would be PERFECT.

You have a bundle
you double click another party member (PC or hero) => you give the bundle to that party member

I agree that as a melee character this has been somewhat of a disadvantage when playing with H/H. Yes GW is a community game but with the number of players leaving GW or for casual gamers there isn't the chance to bring along real people. They should allow heroes at least, to carry items. They already carry item spells and give you control over dropping them so why not being able to pick em up right?

Ok so, heroes will be fully *humans*?
So i guess there is no need to pug after that?

Yes, this needs to be implemented badly. We have an option to force heroes to drop item spells, why not have something to force them to pick up or use stuff like the scorpions in THK. Just target the object and hit their 'target lock' button(that's the button that forces them to drop carried stuff), they run to it and activate it, or pick it up, click it again to force them to drop it, or if it's something like a flag, target it's holder and the target lock changed from drop item to place item, they go there and put it in it's place.

/ signed sounds like it would come in handy. Especially when you might need 2 explosives. It would save having to run back for the second.

i think the purpose of the game is to play with other people
if you choose to hero/hench, you should have to suffer for not playing the way the designers intended the game to be play.
oh. imagine the hero flag runners in gvg

But has various problems:
- You can only 'take' the bundle. The hero can never give it. So you MUST run to the hero to give it.
- Heroes are not NPCs, you don't 'talk' to them. But you must have to run towards them. So that way to take the bundle would be a problem. For examle, if you 'talk' to an hero to tun to them to get to touch range or just if you are lagging and want to follow them so you don't aggro something.
- It would actually be more complicated that the button, since Heroes and Players have no 'Talk'. 'Talking' to a Player or Hero just makes the character run to them.
After considering all possibilities, mine is the best one I can think of.
Two buttons, one for players, another for heroes, next to the 'drop' button, that 'gives to target' instead of dropping.
Consistent with the existing system, and would work.
It may be another one, but I need more data to make it out. With the current data I have, the one I said it's the best possible one.

- 4 member party outposts
- At least two players required to play with no henchmen and a full party.
So if you and your friend play with an assassin and a warrior, you should be able to give the Orrian Scepter to Tahlkora if you want to.
