Favorite henchmen

Yes, this is a suggestion. I've been mapping all over Factions today capping elites, and it occurred to me that some way to "tag" certain henchmen in each outpost as favorites in the party search window would be great, rather than having to manually add them every single time. My thought was, put a check-mark next to the ones you prefer (or possibly a way to just order them by priority), and any time you map into that oupost and you're not in a party, they get added automatically, up to the max party size. Should probably be a toggle-able option as well, because it's the kind of thing that some folks surely wouldn't like (text fade, anyone?).

Anyway, that's my random brainstorm for today. Carry on.

This is similar to some of the hero requests, but is something that Anet should have (but never do) done from the start.

Still.. it is a nice idea.

Sounds lazy. I'm all for it.

Make the toggle button bindable and apply to heroes as well, so we can form full H/H parties with a single click.

I wouldn't mind...

i would also like a way to organize my hero list...group them a way i like so i dont have to scroll down and look for em every time

Sounds like a great plan, but I don't know the mechanics of making that possible. My thought is, if Anet already thought of that idea, how come they didn't go through with it? Maybe complicated process of making that possible? We have to consider the possibility of something like that happening. With the option of pressing P to pull out the party box and adding in the henchmen from it, it's reasonable to think that this idea could happen. Then again, it could be too complicated, or just impossible to do it for the game. GW2 may offer the possibilities, but there's always a chance that it might not work due to incapability. It's possible. I'm just saying.

Nothing wrong with manually adding heroes and henchies, keep it how it is at the moment. If your too lazy to actually click and add each hero and hench then thats your fault.

Wouldn't mind having H/H party templates.

but an even easier thing to do would be to have a "henchmen" window which lists each henchman for that outpost and his/her prof. next to each name is a box that you can check/uncheck at will. there are some places where the mob in front of the henchies is annoying and i end up clicking on actual players instead of the henchman i want. much like the constant horde of people in front of the main xunlai in kamadan. why can't there be a way to fix that? but that's an entirely different QQ thread.

In addition to that, why not we check the skills bar of each henchmen in the game? I know we can check in wiki, but it would be more convenient to find out when we are right there, adding them to the party list. Wouldn't anyone agree with that?
