Well yeah but 2 are different species lol. Is gender really that important for 1 class? I mean it's not like there aren't female ele henchies, Anet are hardly on a path to sexism because there isn't a female ele hero...c'mon.

Please Please Please Anet add this new thing as a Quest across campaign
I know more programming to do it but the "MOA" hunt was great and rewarding you had a sense of accomplishment in the end.
Maybe a head in NF arms in Factions legs in Profs and body in Gwen
then take all pieces somewhere in Gwen to power it up.
Something like that anyway would be fun IMO.

Nah... there is sexism because the female eles look like strippers... not because the female hero doesn't exist.
Of course, the two are corrilated to each other. People want an ele female hero so they can oggle her, just like many do now with Livia.

Ahhhhh ok I guess I misunderstood the problem then lol. I kept seeing the "no female ele" thing pop up and I assumed ppl were seeing some bizarre bias or something.

Guess I never oggled my heroes either because I a) am a female myself or b) they are pixels? I'm thinking B because I never oggled the male heroes either....

Thanks for clearing that up See? you do learn new things every day...

Livia's just a name in the party window for me...

Honestly, I think the people who are really desperate enough to turn to video games for things such as this probably are making female characters, as they can take their clothes off (pre-searing ascalon is a great place to observe this en masse 24/7 if you don't think people actually do this) unlike heros. Of course, there are likely people who do both...

I hope they do it like this. At least then it'd be something to do. If it's just "Talk to (Asura NPC) to unlock the new hero", then meh....nothing that great...just another hero to add to my long list of unused heros.

(this is not a complain, even when it looks like one at first)

A new hero? interesting. Sadly is a Dervish, a class I NEVER use as hero, and I will have 3 now?

Mesmer, Sin, Rit and Paragon are the other options I think (the professions with only 2 heroes right now) Maybe a 3rd dervish is a good idea; but a Ritualist trio should be better.

Anybody have pics of the new hero?

It would be much more interesting if he had multiple professions (i.e. all the martials ones if they one to make him a physical and maybe later another pve hero with the ability to be any of the caster professions). Or giving him the ability to be any profession would be awesome. As is very few actually use a Dervish hero in my opinion.

Umm, it will look like a golem. And you won't see a weapon (one of reasons not available for Hero Battles).

On the brightside, now Anet has 4 more Hero's to release as a bonus in the following months.

Ahh I am glad I didnt read this thread until now , helped me skip over all the QQ ing .

One thing that will be interesting is that if this comes in around the price tag of $60 in stores, will the separate games be going down to $20 or less?? (I might be interested at that to fill up some spaces in my accounts....).

May I ask for the source on that please? I thought it's weapon would simply appear larger, much like Jora's.

"Thirdly, it's difficult to tell what weapons Mox is wielding, and this is another important concern in PvP."

So, I admit, I deduced that you cannot see the weapon. But what else could she mean? A scythe or whatever you equip on your hero is easy to identify no matter the size.

Maybe we will see a weapon but it might show the same skin, no matter the type? (just a guess)

Also, sorry for not re-reading the original post. Been trying to keep track of all the new info but you know how it is. Thanks for the informative reply though!

probably will not see the weapons due to clipping into the body.

Mox's avatar forms look different?

They spent dev time making 5 special golem-avatar forms for a hero nobody will use in PvE and can't use in PvP instead of making new PC armor after giving us mostly reskins in eotn?

Wow.


Make armor. Make content. Make new AB maps. Make something people will use. Even more stupid minipets are a better use of your time. Making 5 new models for a semi-exclusive pve-only dervish hero when nobody uses the existing ones in either format is perhaps the single dumbest allocation of effort I've ever heard. (so far.)

Odds are they already had this ready...perhaps an idea that was scrapped during EotN's developement? Now they decided to go ahead and add it to hold our interest a bit. If it truly is 100% new then I agree...there is much better stuff that can be developed. :/

for the size problem could they have scaled him down a bit to normal player size, or just dyed some npc silver

They Prob. Already had this laying around and was something that was going to be used in utopia, but since they went with eotn never got put in properly and they finaly decided to add it. We know that they most likey got alot of stuff just laying around that just needs to be coded into the game. Remember that the End Proph weapons where done about year before they got even put in, so i'm forsure they got othere stuff laying around. Well just have to wait and see how they do the new hero.

I would believe MOX is the ultimate machine if you could change his (her?) proffession.

But you can't. Or so I readed in the first page lololol.

Waste of hero space. From taking Melonni in NM, I've observed she doesn't applies DW with WS on everyone and everything. She uses it as what we could call "a finishing move", but the thing is dead before she can do it. Avatars? Half suck and they can't be maintained. Vows? Waste of elite skill.

hope they update their AI at least.

Mox's avatar forms look different from human Dervishes, yes. The difference is significant enough to impact PvP play, but the conclusions you're drawing about the appearance of Mox's avatar forms are possibly a little larger in scope than is actually the case (YMMV upon seeing the forms, though). However, you'll have to wait and see to find out.

Uh...what? One of the great things about Guild Wars is that there is no monthly fee. Several people, including myself, refuse to play games such as WOW because of the monthly fee. I have no problem with ANet giving us free content. It keeps us occupied until Guild Wars 2 comes out. If anything they should have let the BMP be that way instead of having to "qualify" for it.
