Why does a poll need two "Yes" answers, one indifferent and one "No" answer?

How does I load a poll?

NO Zaishen Combat quests except for HA, GvG,RA, FA,JQ...and bring back the old goldies like TA and HB and since someone maxed Codex in less than 18 months that's just means it needs to be swapped out

Add me to that list. Never done pvp & have no wish too. However, if it offered pvp maps & goals, but allowed me to play against the ai, I would be interested. Call it a newb's gate to pvp..kinda like pre-searing.

Btw..I don't know RA from HA.

HB should come back for many reasons that are mentionned , especially the fact that it's the only way to play serious PvP on total dead hour and competitive part( tournaments)....

However , i think ONLY people who really did play HB should vote for this no??? Because , there are plenty of people giving their opinion just repeating what they read such as " HB = RR" or " WHY again this , they said HB won't come back" and who never played the format..... That reminds me of that poll asking about a ladder reset in GvG... Why would non-GvG'ers decide for GvG'ers??

On a side note , i'm pretty convinced that HB and TA won't come back because they deleted the code , but we will see....

TA is just RA with a party select; what do you mean "they deleted the code"?

Comparing SC to GW... In world do you live in sir? SC is not an MMORPG... its MMORTS... so comparing two different genres is a bit of imho...

But back to the topic... TA was fun... HB were resign spikes

The real question should be: If HB was fixed like it was supposed to be (meaning Anet finally listened to the HBer's feedback and fixed all the crap that was present in HB, including RR), would you be okay with it's return?

all anet had to do was remove the zquest from hero battles, what they did was punish the very people who played it seriously

YES PLEASE¡

the funiest thing to do in gw just now, for me.

RR fix: simple --> avoid the command /resign in the map.

Haha.. wow - police state!

I, for one, would love it if HB came back. I never really understood the numbers that made them remove it in the first place. Hypothetically, say 400 people are playing HB at a time vs 1600 playing RA (I know it's more, but bear with me), thats the potential for exactly the same number of matches. HB was one of the few places to still find regular PvP at any hour because it required very little preparation.

Still, its a pipe dream, I can't see it ever coming back. And, to be honest, ANet would lose a lot of face if they slipped it back into the game.

Although I enjoyed HB it was broken way before RR was introduced. Hero AI is broken , maps like Crossroads were just a joke.

Is there a big enough community left form them to even consider this anyway?

Well i think theres enough people. If we want HB/TA back, i think Arenanet should consider it.

As long as it's in a new more RA like format, cause the last one with split builds respawns and all of that silly stuff just did not work out.

1) This really isn't an either-or thing. The question asked has absolutely nothing to do with whether you want Codex removed.
2) There was no option for "Not unless they fix it first...", so I responded "no". Putting it back in will be a failure if they don't fix it first.

If they do, magically, manage to make it work, fine, but honestly I'd rather them spend that time on something that more people will play. The HB faithful is remarkably well-represented around here, because it's just not a casual-friendly place.

HB, back just cause it was the funniest form of pvp in GW: No noobs in your team to rage at.

For all the HB=RR cryers among you: HB back w/o ZQ?

I don't want it back, but it should be brought back together with ta.
People like to have options increased, not decreased.
