Hinted Hero Update

I'm aware of that possibly but have been ignoring the idea because I would find it rather lame and forced.

TNTF! that Keiran uses is low powered (but longer duration) because he'd just assumed that role. He got a taste in the previous mission where he learned "Find Their Weakness!" just giving Miku orders, and moved up a bit in defending Beetletun. He's still got a ways to go before he's ready for full command duty, and the wedding comes first.

Dinas is not "/facepalm obvious". A good choice, maybe. Obvious, not so much. He's still just a secondary NPC that offers nothing but a source of information. And what would his outfit look like? He won't wear his white mantle disguise, obvious by his dialogues. I also don't see him dressing like a common krytan, either.

Guys, you are all looking at the wrong species.

The new hero is obviously going to be the baby dragon from Glint's Challenge.

Who wouldn't want a Mesmer Dragon Hero?

Naw, what's REALLY gonna happen, is a Seer will show up, crash the wedding party, and randomly decide to join us.

Gwen's Mom, Sarah, will join the wedding via the pendant we created. Is that facepalmy enough?


Hmm... maybe not, the last sentance of John's interview implies that Sarah can't leave the Underworld.

Actually i couldn't help think Gwen's mum would come to the wedding anyway but not as a hero.

The pendant could do something magical...i spose...
but then again it could link the Mad King's story, the Lunatic court want to get him back to life, however we all know this won't happen especialyl since it wont make halloween visits that special. We've already been told someone else is trying to get back to the mortal realm, it could be sarah as a good tie up...
though i doubt this very much especially looking at the time frame.

My moneys still on Joe or Oink maybe

Rotscale.

He gives up after being sniper shotted 8000 times in the past month, joins the hero side and then asks if he can have his bow back to use.

Actually , unlocking thackeray as paragon could be a possibility. Then , taking gwen and thackeray as same as heroes could make a little bonus for the party , or maybe would we have to do some quests while having those 2 heroes...

Then let's hope they stay happily married...

Palawa Joko would be nice...I want a zombie in my party

I have a feeling the Hero is going to be a wild card where you can basically put their professions as anything you would want. As for their appearance/race I am unsure what it would be. I think Thackeray is too obvious and I would like to believe it would be something GW2 related to transition into that game.

I am more excited for the addition of the full party heroes as I play at strange times and is often hard for me to find a group that speaks english so the addition will help me do some of the more elite areas that I don't have a lot of experience in.

Or maybe the son of Gwen and Keiran will be the new hero.

I hope it's not another paragon. Most of us hardly even use the two that we already have.

They added M.O.X over two years ago and hardly anyone takes him because of his undesirable profession. He may be used more after the dervish update, but how long have we been waiting on that?

I guess a paragon hero could be worth taking if they get a massive update as well. What's the earliest we could expect something like that? Sometime in 2012? I'm sorry, but I'll probably be playing GW2 (or something else) and not caring about the fact that a hero I got a couple years ago is finally worth having in my party.

Anet! Please don't add anymore heroes that won't see the light of day without a mega update. :/

This would only work if Gwen and Keiran pull a Madonna and adopt one from Elona.

One of the funniest posts I've ever read on here ROFL

Seriously, though, I think there would be way too much QQ if they released a paragon, dervish, ranger, or assassin hero. With the improvement to melee AI coming soon, I'd say it much more likely that it's gonna be a warrior.

Would be awesome though if we got some sort of variable profession hero. Like, we could basically make it whichever profession we'd like.

Maybe it's an ooze with a badass personality and something to prove.

His profession is extremely desirable. A simple Wounding Strike build (plus a regular scythe attack or two + Wild Blow + res signet + Faithful Intervention + a couple other Enchantments) and MOX becomes VERY dangerous, even with the melee Hero AI.

His size, however, is a major problem for those of us who don't like the battlefield obscured, so we leave him in the box and bring Melonni instead (and, except when I'm running Sabway or am being forced to take Koss, she is one of my default Heroes - Dunkoro for heals and a bit of protection, Olias as an MM, and Melonni make for a very good team).

Helloooo?

GW:B crosses the bridge between GW1 and GW2?
Which species from GW2 is the only one we haven't seen in GW1?
Aye! Teh Sylvari!

I bet the new hero will have something to do with Teh Sylvari.
God I love to call them Teh Sylvari, gimme one anet!

As has already been stated, the Sylvari are still in seed form on a twig, if that.

I'm thinking it'll be someTHING: don't want to mess up everyone's HoMs with armor upgrade requirements.

Blobby, perhaps? Lord knows I'VE fed enough strays only to have them follow me home and NEVER leave!

There would be far more complaining if a FOURTH warrior was released. The general population rarely uses one warrior, let alone four. We're most likely going to see a hero that there is only 2 of.
