GameSpot Article With WoC Info

Hey all. Here is a link I posted on GW2guru about GW2, but there is a sweet morsel of info about GW1 in there about the Winds of Change Update. Take a look at it: gamespot article

Eric Flannum: "I just spoke to John Stumme, who heads up the live team, and he told me that their next big project takes place in Cantha and involves the plight of the tengu, the origins of the Ministry of Purity, and the isolation of the entire continent."

Ah cool, Thanks for heads up

Tengu hero......
For sureee
YES!

Yes!!! any info on Embark Beach plzzz can't wait

I feel a song coming on here...hit it Tina--'we dont need another hero'.

but its nice to see more info leaking out.....

hmms but didnt they say that keiran was the last hero we would get? i could be wrong but thats what i thought. i only hope this means we get 7 heros soon. so tired of proph hench monks running into a mob to heal then die or mobs running to heal then pulling mob to us before im ready. ;oo;

Something I've wanted for years. I can only hope...

Thank you for the link. Nice story.

I could use a fourth ele hero! Using M O X for the earth spells is not effective enough.

No, they never said that, though you're not the first person to have thought that. I wonder where such misinformation came from. Seeing as how Thackeray became a hero, it stands to reason that Miku will become a hero, as well. It would also seem that they are trying to give us at least 3 heroes of each prof. But my biggest hopes lie with a 4th ele hero-- that is something I could put to GREAT utility. I would hope that it would be a human female ele, too, since the other 3 eles are all male and 2 of them are other races.

I loled.

I think we need a new mesmer so I can run triple mesmer and also one that isn't so sadistic like Gwen ("Nice toys, let me break them" is kind of creepy).

Yawn. Whenever they focus on the 'storyline' and 'lore' they tend to forget the most important part. Gameplay and REAL content. If they bothered to throw in a real skill update with it then it may be interesting.

It'll be an Assassin hero.

It should be a Paragon afterall the Tengu have wings.

Yeah we definitely need a fourth hero that will never see the light of day...

love how everyone speaks for everybody now.


Keiran sees a spot in most of my parties. A third mesmer would definitely see a role. As for assassin...they really need to work on sin AI before I go that far.

If we get another hero in WoC, I reckon it'll either be a Tengu assassin or mesmer, or Ghostly Togo ritualist (appearing as "Ghostly Ritualist" if you bring it in missions where Togo appears). Togo was heavily involved in the plight of the Tengu in his youth (as seen in the BMP), and as the Tengu are the focus of WoC I can see him getting involved again.

I don't think togo has room on his schedule to make it to this. Without getting all spoilery, I think he may be busy. I would imagine a feathered ally would make it onto the scene. We will have to wait and se though.

A tengu ritualist would be super cool. Not only would it be useful, but they have some nice models from EotN to adjust slightly to give it a more unique ritualistic appearance.

It would also be a cool throw back to Togo's close relationship with the tengu, him being a ritualist and all.

As far as a time line, I'm feeling a lot more patient. Coming out the other end of a category 5 cyclone and dealing with an entire city without power for 4 days scavenging for ice, fuel and basic food supplies, the wait for the dervish update and embark beach looks like foot rub atm.

Oh man, I sure hope this is the case. I'm all for the addition of new heroes to add some variety. But I would hate to see them possibly implement a Tengu hero and make it a Sin.
