Organize Heroes By Profession Once We Have Seven

As the title of the thread suggests, I think it would be a useful feature to organize the heroes by profession once access to 7 heroes is available. A good buddy of mine who doesn't use this site dropped that idea in my lap yesterday. It seems to me a sound proposition. Heck, could take it a step further and organize them alphabetically by class too(Assassin-Warrior).

Having my 3 necros spread out all over the hero list is a pain in and of itself, hunting down 7 will take precious seconds.

We have like 2 developers working on the entirety of GW1 and you want them do spend their time doing this?

I've never had a problem finding my heros in the list.
But anything that makes me more lazy is good, right?

It's a really small addition but on the other hand, you soon get used to the order. I'll admit it'd make things slightly easier for most people, but personally I memorise patterns (I couldn't tell people my PIN numbers for things but I can put them in easily. I blame being a musician lol). If it WAS added, I'd just have to learn a different pattern.

I guess the feature would be nice, but since you can just add them in the order you want (like the 3 we have now), I can't imagine spending more time on this.

Or you should be able to save and load team setups (like loading a team setup, would automatically fill up your party with the 7 Heroes you saved them as). But support anyway.

Sardelac Moderators would like to remind you that this is a place for discussion, and to share ideas, regardless of how likely they are to be implemented in GW:1.
So i herd u liek reading rulez.


OT:
It would be appreciated to have some form of organization offered to the hero list, this idea works.

I do think Necros should be on top, since they're really the only heroes anyone uses.

/signed for any or all of by profession, alphabetically, or remembering a team setup. The current pseudo- order-you-get-them list isn't intuitive, even when using the hero tab in party search.

I know its of topic,But I have to reply on this. I play a necro 99% of my GW time as main char, but I seldom use any hero's as Necro , some times a Lich/warder support. But mainly rangers. couse I'll think they are so underestimated but still so powerfull.

SOME sort of organization would totally be preferable. Either alphabetically or by profession.

lol @ People whining that GW1 developers shouldn't be "wasting their time" on this.

Oh, and...

The only heroes you use =/= The only heroes anyone else uses

I don't use Sabway or Discord hardly ever. My main HM dungeon run team is Dunkoro, Razah, and Olias.

My thoughts exactly. I'm already used to where they are and stuff... I know Norgu is at the top and Oggie (poor oggie) always at the bottom, but I guess I could get used to the new arrangement if the decided to do this.

they are already ordered somewhat NF heros at that start of the list eotn heros at the end of the list but other than that it seems pretty random. It would be nice to have them ordered by their profession or something.

Simple improvements like this will keep gw active for years to come, even after gw2 is out. I think a new meta hero team will come out with 7 hero teams that makes sab and discord obsolete. We'll ,at the bare minimum, see more diversity in hero teams than Necro, Necro, Necro...

Great suggestion!

I don't really care how they're organized... but please organize them! It would make it a lot simpler to find them and add them in.

I really don't think this would take a tremendous amount of developer time, anyway. It's just a simple list.

This is how it should have been from the very beginning. Alphabetical by name would also make some sense. The current haphazard order by campaign is just annoying.

Even better than by profession? Order the ones you use the most on top and least bottom.

I'm not sure that would work as well for people who use all the heroes at least occasionally. The top of the list would be easy to use, but at the bottom it would be no better organized than now.

I'd rather see something less subjective.

/agree

They will be working on implementing a full hero party team soon, sounds like the perfect time to add this simple, yet temendously helpful idea.

EDIT: I dont care how its organized and we dont need to get fancy with it. Alphabetically or by profession/Alphabetically is good enough. Sadly, Anton the Assassin will always be at the top of the list, but its still better than nothing.

The bottom would mostly be ones of lower levels, builds they haven't updated, and without runes if any.

See, that's what I'm saying-- I don't have any heroes like that.

I use all my heroes from time to time because I find using different combinations to be an interesting challenge and it makes doing missions over again less repetitive.

An alphabetical or by-profession list would be at least somewhat useful to anyone. Organizing by frequency of use would only be useful to a certain play style. It seems kind of pointless to me to make the effort to change to something that isn't objectively more organized.
