Default No heros in Zaishen!!! Utter Redengine
So i load up Zaishen battle and throw some heros in the party and what do i find.... sorry, can;t let you in. So i am utterly redengined about this. Where else can i test out pvp builds or casually practice 4v4? Don;t say RA, cause sometimes i don;t want to play with a build until i have fully tested it.

So now how can i test a build in a PVP setting???

RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO

not happy. bring back some form of doing pvp with heros. codex is fine, but i miss hero battles.

Yeah, that was annoying and pointless. I assumed it was the standard "it's a problem in PvP so we will remove them from PvP without thinking" update. Just kike they did when they removed hard mode from challenge mission outposts, or added DP to pets.

Ummm, they took heros out of pvp almost 4 months ago, and you have only just realised?!

My only suggestion would maybe try the skirmish option in your guild hall, but even then I think they are still barred.

@Fay Vert: yes, they did it without thinking... which is why they spent so much time getting builds from people then creating a bucketload of henchies in the Guild Halls and HA.... /sarcasm

Play RA, it's not that big of a deal if your new build sucks, no one really cares, and if even you, the creator of the build have no faith in your build, then it's just going to be a piece of crap in the end.

Agree with this very much. It's not like RA is srs bsns. Go to American District- you'll find countless Warriors with Flare and countless Monks trying to smite with Bane Signet with a Flesh Golem as their elite. <_<

This is about Zaishen, not PvP. I meant they took it out of PvP (however well that was done) but didn't consider that Zaishen counted as PvP or even worse if they did, they didn't think to put all those wonderful new hench in that outpost.

They didn't think

zaishen can't really be considered pvp considering your not fighting other people just AI controlled enemies. They should allow heroes in zaishen combat/elite, however its already easy to do it with just the hench and a decent build.

The most eyebrow-raising issue here is that it took 4 months before anyone noticed.

But now that it's been brough to my attention:

there are henchies that you can use in the Zaishen outposts (always has been), and why wouldn't it be considered PvP? it is a part of the battle isle and the whole idea behind it is to prep you for PvP.

I think the thing here is that they can't selectively remove the heroes from PvP, it is a kinda all or nothing deal

Actually I noticed the day of the update but I didn't think anyone cared so much about Zaishen Arenas...

It's more that zquest balth farming completely outclasses zarena balth farming. Otherwise more would've noticed by now.

Actually, districts are merged now (supposedly this fixed syncing... only it really didn't stop it too well). This leads to you always having to play with people running hilariously awful builds regardless of which district you enter from. I usually preferred AD anyway, but it also means that I get to play on Euro servers almost all the time when I enter any time before sunset. Thanks ANet. 400ms ping was obviously the one thing I was truly missing before.

Well yeah, ~30-40 euro for 30 minutes a day every 210 days isn't too bad?
Owait, having a real job makes a ton more of money.

But I know you were obviously joking, some people might not be joking when they say so though.

As has been mentioned, there are other forgiving formats in which to test builds.
