This is one of two suggestions re-posted with a thread of its own as my previous one was Closed (it can be viewed here as it contains a few responses) - I wish not to get at the moderator who did it but this is my first time posting and it wasn't particularly helpful, considering that I at least tried to adhere to the READ FIRST thread!

Anyway, here is the original post (obviously altered so it makes sense without the second suggestion):

OK, hello all,

I came up with two ideas a couple of weeks back and finally decided I'd actually put them forward. Before I delve into the details, I should point out I checked this forum extensively (including the Index of Ideas thread) to see if my ideas had already been suggested in any way/shape/form.

Apparently they weren't, so here is my first suggestion:


Party Templates

There is already a suggestion with this name (found here) but, unless I am mistaken, my idea is different.

Basically, I frequently do quests/missions alone (i.e. without other players - as I'm sure many others do). I tend to use a particular combination of heroes and henchmen for the majority of those quests, but every time it comes to forming the party again (e.g. after re-logging) I have to manually go through the Heroes list and Search panel to add the ones I want.

So, my suggestion is this: add a "Party Templates" window whereby you can save a template of a particular party combination for future use, in the same way that we can currently save/manage Skill templates.

My second suggestion can be viewed here

A bit like loading a skills template onto your character when you don't have the skills - the names just don't appear.

I was thinking the same thing

a party template, because i use different party formation for different areas, so it would be great, if I can have the party template.

I've also been thinking about this for a few days.

Naturally the first template I would make would be the empty party template.

Heroes will save when you logout/change areas... why not just alter hero cap to 7 and use that? Quicker and easier.

Because ANET has said that they won't do that.

Issue is that party members numbers vary. you can be 4, 6, 8, whatever.
It might be too complicated.
I personnally toy on ptempaltes names to save all templates near each other : (team GvG split 8 - Mnk FLagrunner, TEam GvG split 7 - rt split etc.)
