Feel the same about heroes?

[fyro11]

I think only one hero should be permitted per skirmish in light of Konstantin's post.

One of the appeals of general MMO games is that the player is able to develop a character/ avatar and the work that the player puts forth reaps rewards of strength and power. This hero class squad would have all the same properties and functionality of a normal hero class, but it would just have more than a single unit fighting each battle and roaming around. So, a player could still feel that sense of self in that hero class squad. I'm think even 3-4 units to consist of the hero class squad would be really cool to play with. Equipping each of those units with armor, weapons, etc. isn't the point but it would be a cool function. The point is to just look at more than one unit taking out many enemy troops. Stat and equipment gains could act exactly like a normal hero class.

They had hero squads in bfme2 expansion and they were cool and all, but i vastly preferred the normal heroes.

Those were just uber units, nothing more. "Hero squad" or whatever was just a name.

Aniway, if it is true then the in the game we will be abel to creat from single units squads and then we can creat our own hero squad. We can take that way the heroe and ad to a squad with the best of our soldiers and then here we have a hero squad.

The thing is, iirc units in DoF already move in battalions, not individually.

There is somewhere in the forum where it says that it will change in the final release or something and the units will be awaylable as individual ones to.

I think there gonna be great :P

yeah they cost alot but from what i understand they can also do some awesome stuff, so that should balance it out.

And i like that hero's will grow in the game, always a nice thing to see ^^
