I am posting this here in game suggestions rather than in HB section because frankly, the Dev team seem to ignore the whole HB area of the forums or just choose to ignore the entire Hero battle community full stop.

So,

1. Please read the HB section for what we want fixed
2. Plz fix HB
3. Fix it now before you lose your entire community. It;s a joke that the arena even has a ladder!!!! HA and GVG have 1000's of changes made every month whereas Hero Battles has been completely ignored for the last 18 months.

I admit that there has been lots of Hero AI fixes and that has been super, however, there are many other issues that have been affecting the format that have gone unanswered.

4. You shoud give Draikin a bloody job. He has more idea of the mechanics and game changes that need to be done. Or just bloody well talk to people like Massacre, Rainbow, and Ekelon... people who dominate the top 100 and ask them what needs to be fixed. FFS, i mean, ZoS has joined the Rawr alliance.... can;t Frosty and Gaile even fooking talk to Ekelon in alliance chat or PM him? \

Or do people in ANet just not care?

My thoughts are that broken builds are core to GW mentality. It encourages people to play cheap flavor of the month builds rather than encourage a format that favours diversity and balanced play. ideally, any build should be able to win given the counters and other such methods similar to how GVG can be won on tactics in given situations where 8v8 or splitting can win the game depending on the builds and how the teams choose to play.

Finally. FIX HB NOW!~

At least it's a sliver...

Hero Battles deserves a nice, quiet death. Only close friends and family will attend the funneral. Many a hired screaming mourner or two.

But yes, HB is ignored a lot by A.net, and the community as a whole. It either needs a complete overhaul to actually make it fair and fun, or... more silent treatment so it can just die.

i dont think eke has played in a while hes prob not the most ideal person to ask lol but draiken has been working with the devs alot on wiki but they been fixing alot of bugs and thats good progress
just one step at a time at least they doing more then they used to and once they fix the bugs they will hopefully make a format change but bugs are more important then format change to me cause losing cause of a bug SUX

Why would they want it fixed? If they are constantly winning, than there is nothing wrong in their point of view! They know how to deal with the bugs and stuff, means less competition for them and they get to stay in the top 100 and get Zkeys for betting on themselves.. or at least friends getting Zkeys.

But I kinda agree that HB should slowly die... as it had since it came out.. I only know a few people who do it. And to me is seems like a mini version of AB. From what I know all you do is cap shrines.. weeeeee.... /sarcasm.
I think HB should be totally revamped from AB style to more of a TA style or something else that the creative minds of Anet can think of. Maybe they can make HB something like what they are gonna put in GW2.. cept you know... worse.. so we dont get dissapointed in GW2 and we get a "sneak peak."

Or maybe not..

*rereads the OP's post just to be sure*

So you're basically saying to fix the Hero Battles. How? How is your post even a suggestion if you make no mention of how to fix it? What changes do you want to see? Link to a couple threads. Saying, "Look in the HB section to see what we want fixed" is lazy on your part and uninformative. Look at which parts? The whole? Certain threads?

Reword your OP better please. To me, it just looks like a whine.

Entire community? What?

The majority of the community is c-spacing shit in PvE.

Zing!

Oh, and it's not just HB they need to fix. They need to fix the majority of PvP, if not all.

What is this HB you speak of?

MMSDome · Aug 21, 2008, 07:46 AM // 07:46

Yes HB needs a fix.

If ekelon even played often anymore how would a dev talking to him even help. Explain your logic!

Obviously people don't care about HB which kind of sucks therefor we probably wont get much attention.
