My Idea

[Macawesome75]

My idea is to be able to use your friends avatars to play in the game as a companion.
They would cost a certain amount of coins depending on their stats (Maybe Dmg * (Toughness + Recovery)?)

The friend ability would be their ^ ability.

Their Aura would be 25% of the stat they have to most of.

Once you buy them, they would be hired for X Quests or X time.

The rewards would be for the player that one hires

25% of the gold required to Hire the player
5 Gems
Charisma Points (A New Level-Bar) based the amount of enemies the avatar killed.

Charisma levels can be used to upgrade:

Raw Damage
Raw Health
Luck (A new stat which increases maximum rolls for Gear and Jewelry)
%XP Gained

Pros of adding this:
A new use for gold!
A use for the friend list

Cons of adding this:
An acronym problem
Rage for people who invested Millions of gold into their Jewelry.

You're talking about asynchronous CoOp, which we're working on.

I am sure he knows about the upcoming feature of PvP and co-op.
He wanted to share his idea this way, yes maybe it's strange when there is PvP to come, but he got mistooken propably

This is the first time I (or anyone) has mentioned asynch CoOp in any official capacity. To clarify, synchronous CoOp would be where you and a friend are playing together at the same time -- you control your toon and your friend controls theirs. ASYNCH is what the OP is suggesting, where you simply use an AI controlled version of your friend's toon as a minion.

Will that also be released?

It seems you are "working on" a lot of the suggestions lately.... will we ever actually get to see these features before we all quit from boredom?

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

That hasn't officially been decided. Both options have been discussed and they are actively working on synchronous CoOp and PvP.

[Macawesome75]

Both synchronous and asynchronous have their advantages.

Synchronous
More Challenging
