I'm sure many people besides me have noticed it, but i just wanted to point this out as possible glitches in guild wars

problem 1: dialogue
has anyone ever been in an instance with the longbow henchman and looked at her dialogue?
it always refers to someone named "Hector"...
....who the heck is hector?
She treats it like it should be a pet, but there is no one there, telling it to go for the eyes or "hector dont eat that!"...but i see no one?
Is aurora programmed in as a beast-bearing ranger, or is she supposed to come off as clinically insane [refer to picture 1]
...yeah

problem 2: favorable winds
anyone ever been sitting in the outpost of boreas seabed and looked at aurora, she always has a favorable winds spirit under her, and recasts it every time it dies...i dont know WHY we would need to have arrows that travel twice as fast and deal +6 damage in an outpost, but she provides it alright! [refer to picture 2]

I always figured Hector was the name for her bow.

I think at least Khim (of the Halcyon crew, etc.) has a name for his hammer (something about it wanting to give people a kiss).

The hector references are something to do with a TV show..there's quite a lot of that in Factions..

For instance, the "impossible sea monster" quest is a direct reference to the Bill Murray film 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissu"

I don't know what your problem with FW is, I always take along the Interrupt henchman. He freakin' LOVES Aurora.

Maybe Hector is the name of her Favorible Winds spirit?

Some people have invisible friends, others have invisible pets.

They should have given her a giant invisible rabbit and named it Harvery.

kudos to anyone who gets that.

I noticed this a lot too and presumed that she had originally been intended to have a pet but they never got round to making one for her, or simply changed their minds. I do however love the fact that she casts FW at every opportunity! With myself as a primary ranger taking winnow as well and the three ranger hench we do a fair impression of a barrage team LOL She is better at putting down FW than many human players I have played with :-)

I would send support a note about it, more then likely she is meant to have a Pet of some sort. Meaning she should have charm animal and comfort pet.

At the moment she seems a bit crazy.

i have no problem with the fact that she carries FW, but i dont understand why she needs to cast it within the town of Boreas Seabed, note that in the picture i am standind in the outpost, not in the wilderness [pic1]

Just because someone in a movie dances a certain way doesn't mean they trademark that dance lol.

If that was true, the Robot (Male Assassin Dance) would be a "Ripoff" from NUMOROUS Movies - that dance is so funny its seen in many comedy movies.

I've actually seen Aurora tame a creature once, and then suddenly the whole "hector" thing made alot more sense.

Not entirely certain how she managed to do it, though. Must've been in the middle of a fight -- usually, henchies will kill a level 3 crab far before the 10 seconds is up...
