Lets hope that we can get the attack/defend/stay worked into pets too :P --08:24, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

How do we know it is three?
how do we know?
 * Pretty sure it said in the PC Gamer article and also there is only 3 spots they can occupy --Lemming64 07:14, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Article layout and content
For now, I made the article pretty much a wikified version of the official heroes guide, only restructured. I suggest that we gradually replace ANet's wording with our own as we have the necessary information available, and add images. We all know an image tells more than many words. -- 02:02, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

Hero levels
Seems that at least for the Preview event Heroes can level to higher than the character's level:

 * I think it's more that Koss joins your party at level 4. Correct me if I'm wrong :)  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 10:51, 23 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Ok, you're wrong. :P  I took that pic right after he leveled up.  I believe he joins at whatever level you are (I might be wrong, he and I were both level 2 when he joined me).  --Rainith 21:47, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I took a few characters through the beginning of the event. Koss always leveled to 3 and 4 before I did. After that, though, he never rose above my level all the way up to 18. --71.50.184.177 19:41, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

Bundles and Heros
As i went through Chahbek Coop the question arose whether it is possible to having a hero pick up a bundle, e.g. the catapult ammunition. As it is clearly stated that ammunition for both catapults is needed, i thought there may be some way to make a hero pick up one, but i failed. Neither ordering him to move to the object he should pick up nor any other method i tried was successful, so i guess it isn't possible - has anyone made other experiences on this? -- Sai Qui 05:25, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Heroes and their Pets
You can get a hero to charm a pet (order the other guys away and tell the beastmaster to use Charm Animal. Hit an animal once to agro it so the hero will start to charm). However, when you leave an area, the animal is lost. This makes me sad. &mdash; Oreso 06:48, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Read the game updates, they've listed this as a known bug &mdash; Skuld 06:58, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry, forgot my emphasis. They can control pets, just not from area to area. &mdash; Oreso 07:05, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Emotes
I know that if you start dancing in an explorable area your hero will join in, I am not sure of the extent of the emotes that it will copy cat but it may be an subject for exploration and intrest. --Lemming64 07:16, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes this was added in yesterday's update, and applies to all henchies, not just heros(and let me just say I did NOT need to see Thom doing the warrior dance...ever). If you dance, some heroes/henchies will dance, others will play instruments. They also sometimes do random emotes while you're idle, I've seen dance and taunt so far.DKS01 08:03, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Outside Elona
Are we able to take our heroes to other campaigns / UW / FoW? I hope we can. -- (talk) 09:13, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

The future of farming
How long do you think it will take for someone to come up with a completely autonomous 55 Monk? lol -- Macros†  (talk)  12:23, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * The hero still steals drops. But yes, it will probably be possible to create a semi good damage dealer hero for a 'soloing' 55hp/Spirit Bonder. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:14, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I can see it now... a partner to cast SS... to cast Spell Breaker... or anything else a dual farm team could do. Only solo (sorta). -- Macros†   (talk)  16:29, 24 September 2006 (CDT)

Past Campaigns
It'd be spiffy if the option to recruit the Heroes of Ascalon as Heroes in the Nightfall sense. Same with the Heroes of Cantha (the ones you choose from in the Raisu Palace mission, Danika/Argo/Panaku/Talon/Nika, since Cynn is already a Tyrian Hero). Mayhaps have it so that whichever Faction you join, that's the hero you get, and the other is off-limits (which makes sense, even if you're a double-agent). Possibly Jamei as well, if your Tyrian character had Mhenlo as a Hero he'd be replaced with Jamei upon arrival to Cantha (since he now becomes an NPC). I'd suggest Yijo Tahn, too, but... he wouldn't last very long. It probably won't happen, but hey. It'd be spiffy. --Valentein 17:38, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
 * They wont be doing major changes to past campaigns, but I'm still hoping that we can take our heroes from Elona to the other campaigns and UW/FoW. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 01:25, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah, which isn't spiffy at all. It's more of an... update, really. They could offer it with some sort of promotional package, to upgrade past campaigns to get certain Nightfall features. I'm not even sure how much work it would require, other than to modify the heroes already made to look like the heroes stated earlier. It would be a decent way to make money, in my opinion. Plus it'd be neat. --70.50.140.38 02:38, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

Armor in General, Specifically Headpieces
Wow, if you can't change the headpiece on the Heros, that will suck. I mean, what would a Warrior be without an Axe, Sword, or Hammer headpiece? And what if I want to go prot monk instead of heal, or whatever? Don't give me this "put those runes on the body" or whatever, I don't want to pay for runes everytime I change one of the hero's builds... Windtalker 19:28, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * During the weekend all the heros I got (Warrior, Monk, Dervish, Ele) had their primary attribute headpiece. Fine for the monk. The rest I really would have liked to change. --71.50.184.177 19:38, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

Two unknown heroes
I think it can be surmised that one of them is a ranger. I doubt that the only ranger would be one that you may not necessarily get. - 12.218.6.223 20:31, 25 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I doubt it. I think one is a memser (the actor guy) and the other sounds like a tank. --Karlos 21:19, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

Signet of Capture
I didn't get a chance to test this (or check to see if i could get a signet of capture) but I think you might be able to capture elites for other classes with your heroes. I got the idea when, upon getting certain heroes, I learned skills that they came with. (T/C) 22:33, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Signets of Capture are not part of the list of unlocked skills, so they can't be used by heroes (or pvp chars for that matter). --Leonim 18:58, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
 * The game updates for the event said that it is a known problem that heroeas can't use SoCs, but the function will be there for the final release. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 01:41, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
