Am I crazy or something?

[Stc95]

I swear I saw somewhere where Anet hinted at 7 heroes sometime in the near future. But now I can't find anything about it. Was I just delirious surfing the web at 2am in the morning or what?

I don't think it's just you, Stc. Every update it seems like I read other people talking about it. Just for the Halloween update I saw a bunch of posts from people saying that it was for more heroes. I hope they do because that would be unbelievable.

Nope, not crazy or delirious.

"You can look forward to filling out your party with Heroes as another feature of the free update build that will include Embark Beach."

sweet!! I knew I wasn't crazy.. well.. nvm.

So it doesn't have an ETA, but I'm excited. Only thing, if it's anything like WiK the content will take an age and a half for new stuff, so I'm not getting my hopes up until I see a date.

All of this is so cool...

Gwen and Thackeray

• We will learn more about Keiran and his link to the Guild Wars 2 character Logan Thackeray.
• Gwen will have her wedding.
• Their relationship will be the bridge towards the next segment taking place in Cantha.

Other

• At some point, "players will be able to unlock a new Hero from the content — and it’s probably not what you expect."
• Evennia will be part of something larger.
• Gwen will establish Ebonhawke.
• The Ebon Vanguard will play a large part in future elements.
• There will be a new outpost, Embark Beach, that will serve as a staging area for any mission to which a player already has access, making it easier to form casual groups.
• The hero limit will either be removed or increased to include seven heroes.

I can't wait to see who the "unexpected hero" is. I'm crossing my fingers for it to be the other characters on your own account.

Ow!!! You made my brain asplode!

Using alt characters as heroes would be the most amazing thing ever. I don't think they're going to do that, but it shouldn't be impossible right?

For that matter why can't we get hero control over the henchies?... Like be able to choose Devona or Aiden or Mhenlo and set up their skill bars as we see fit. I don't think they're going to do that either.

I was thinking that we might get an early peek by having a Sylvari hero... It's the only GW2 race we don't have in our party yet.

MAYBE IT'S RURIK!!!
