I'm looking forward to getting MOX later today, as it's always good to have options when running H/H. This gives the option of running 3 dervishes.

Regina did an interview on xfire recently at PAX where she said they are now looking at finishing the trio for mesmers, paragons, sins and rits.

On topic:

He looks awesome, shame hes PvE only. Would've been cool to have one in PvP. Still, I can't think of any 3 Dervish PvE hero teams atm, but I'm sure I could whip one up.

Yes they picked 7 people randomly and told them via email all the juicy information that no one else knows just so people on forums could whine about it not being fair.

If we had anymore info it would have been posted, its not even half a day away just wait.

So lets get the community all excited by promising shiny new stuff, only to reveal later it'll only be a third Dervish hero no-one will use after the initial quest is done.

You know what a QQ-fest that would've spawned?

I think Anet did perfectly well marketing MOX. Regina told us directly after the news leaked out all GW-players would be able to get the golem, it's profession would be Dervish and it would be PvE only. No speculation possible, because keeping things in the dark would only cause massive flames and whining on the forums, as with every former 'mystery' update.

imo this was a bad idea, now every 1 is going to have a 15ft golem and your not going to be able to see any thing >.<

also how can metal bleed? says he will be susceptible to all conditions.

Bleeding - the golem uses hydraulics, so he's losing hydraulic fluid.
Disease - rusting.
Cripple - had a few servo connectors snapped in its' legs.
Poison - software virus?
Blinded - optical sensors obscured.
Cracked armour - err......his armour is cracked.
Dazed - ?

Something along those lines....

This is a fantasy game. Fantasy creatures can bleed however your brilliant mind can conceive rationale.

I for one probably won't be using him. I barely use my existing heroes as it is.

If it was a mesmer, people would ask why isn't it a dervish a sin a rit a para?

The asura made golems to be "...the ultimate in magic, mechanised party protection."

This is why you are given three golems in Destruction Depths mission.

Try reading up on lore for once before making a rather bad attempt at sarcasm.

It’s the people who complain about getting free content, which screwed our chances at getting one last big chapter of a campaign for GW 1. Instead of getting that sub-par version of a campaign called EotN. Now we have to sit around and twiddle our thumbs waiting until probably late 2010 or early 2011 for GW 2.

On that note, I am looking forward to MOX because he is one of my favorite professions. In which I will utilize him to his maximum potential, more so then just using the typical warrior hero.

I think if they are going to release more of these heroes and not ever give us the ability to run with seven they should make MOX and any other future heroes "Elite" heroes that are a bit more powerful than normal heroes.

This way they will be sought after, appreciated and well used.

So you want to basically throw away the concept of building a team of level 20 characters with 200 attribute points? You realize this removes ALL incentive to ever team with another human because mathematically, no matter how skilled a human is, the "elite" heros are going to crank out higher numbers every time, and henchmen can clean up the rest.

You fail.

I already do this. Oh no!

Heroes can't crank out PvE skills though, which got a semi-serious buff from the last update. There's incentive to take humans.

There are ways; have them only usable in HM which would minimise the impact or only one out of the three heroes you use at any one time can be an elite.

I'd doubt people would complain if it was a Mesmer since the hero numbers would look like:

Warrior:3
Ranger:3
Monk:3
Mesmer:3
Elementalist:3
Necromancer:3
Ritualist:2
Assassin:2
Paragon:2
Dervish:2

That makes a bit more sense than 3 of a class from nightfall or factions.

However what I do wonder is if MOX can be added to HOM, and if so, is it able to get a diffirent armor, like all the other heroes.
People have been speculating that there are quests to obtain Mox for the past few weeks. We never confirmed the existence of a quest as a pre-requisite to get Mox.

Mox can be added to your Hall of Monuments. Just go there with the Hero to get the unlock. Also, Mox has no special Hero armor (though it does look really awesome in Avatar form).

Aww, no special armour? That's rather sad, though I very interested in these new avatar forms. Any news about another mesmer hero?

Also, quests are fun. We need more quests. Continent spanning quests!

If it's not a quest, then will it just simply appear in your hero tab on the search window?

Maybe you pay 100k to get him!!! Or go collect drops from different mobs and go to the golem collector and trade in!!!

Hey just a couple non-quest ideas...though I guess they didn't really say it wouldn't be a quest either...only that they haven't confirmed it will be.

Well people tend to speculate about that which is unspoken. That seems to be what speculation is all about.

Now although Mox has been all over the news, you apparently said in an interview that Anet is working on getting more heroes so we can play 3 of each character class eventually. That to me seems to be the bigger news and yet that seems to be completely not on the front page news. I guess I am just a bit confused about that.
