Although I really understand your sentiment, Heroes Ascend isnt mean for the casual, grab one dude, and two heroes and gogo. This is the high-end, top PVP arena. I suggest you play Team Arenas - the level of skill and competition there is really nice. If you like HA so much that you really want to focus on it, join HA guild, or build a friendlist of people you like to play with. That is of course if you REALLY want to win and be sucessful in HA. IF you like the casual style, just pug one or two guys. People doesnt bite, and you might meet someone really nice, someone that maybe will join your guild, expanding it into more HA focused gropus of friends?

You have 6v6 which help people make groups and 8v8 which is much more flexible. Now can you find a compromise? I don't think so, and trying to implement one would ultimately make the arena worse I think. 8v8 is the way to go in my opinion.

[Nurse, since when were you a mod here?]

You won't like what the next update for HA is going to be then. Hooray for knowing alphas...

As a member of a small and exclusive (aus/nz gamers aged 30+) guild, it is nigh impossible to get an 8 person team together without pugging (which none of us are interested in doing). I believe that change to 6v6 was made for people like me who can now grab 4 people and a couple of heros then jump right in - If it goes back to 8v8 then I'll go back to being limited to playing once a month or so when there's enough guildies online.

Oh noes. Counting active members, my guild has about 7 or 8 members in it. I still voted for 8v8, why? I'm willing to pug in 8v8, its a blast, and when my guild wins, chances are we played decent teams and it was a challenge in 8v8. 6v6? We may get a group together less often, but it is less fun, I don't pug, and even if we win halls, all we say is "meh, they were scrubs".

Well, that used to be the case. Because HA has always had tangible rewards (the chest, emotes) it was supposed to be a higher tier than TA. With the introduction of gladiator titles and the general decline in HA (largely due to top tier HA players leaving with the introduction of Hero Battle HA, etc) TA is arguably requires more skill these days. Even if they make real changes, TA is still going to be on par with HA in terms of player skill until map objectives change.

8v8
yay gooooo 8v8

Divinus Stella · Dec 29, 2006, 01:51 AM // 01:51

I think its unfair to say HA is as low as TA, but it has gone down a bit.

Putting a link to this poll in the search feature is a pretty good idea, if a few people did this while idling in international districts then we should get a good idea what the players want.

We could also seriously screw up the results by advertising it if we find too many kids. However, I think anet doesn't really need this poll, as all they have to do is look at before and after district amounts and the skill level of people winning halls atm.

T-R-A-S-H · Dec 29, 2006, 03:57 AM // 03:57

Go Go 8vs8 !!
if anet wants to rescue HA, go back to 8vs8....

8v8 is the way to go, I hope they change it back.

ToxicWasted · Dec 29, 2006, 12:15 PM // 12:15

8 vs 8 is the win! This poll says enough Anet!

RESCUE MY FAVOURITE PART OF GUILD WARS!

Roar · Dec 29, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

I truely feel sorry for players like you. But the HA community is at an all time low at the moment, something has to be done. And returning to 8v8 is probably the best thing they can do atm.

Its far from the only reason i voted for it though. I just hope anet will actually listen to us for a change.

Kry Onicle · Dec 29, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

8v8 Pls kthxbye

auch · Dec 29, 2006, 03:00 PM // 15:00

i think anet should make like a ingame voting box in heroes ascent and 8v8 ofcourse

some guy · Dec 29, 2006, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Go back to 8 vs 8!

*But again.... VIMIWAYS..... *shudders* *

Got my first HA win 2 days ago woot! 24 more fame till rank 1!!

Alazare · Dec 29, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

8v8 obviously. 6v6 was a huge mistake, that decision shattered a whole community.
