I've lost at scared because of ganks, mainly because we were the higher ranked guild team. And the red and blue teams were alliance guilds, so they ganged up on us. Pretty homo imo.

Also, broken tower 1v1v1 is ftl. Though, the 4 min courtyard is very sexy.

Broken is 2nd map now. What were they thinking when they put it there? There are so many noob teams that will go on you even if you're not holding.

I thought you said you sold your account? Just hanging out on the forums still, or did you get another one?

And yeah, basically it's whoever is the highest ranked/most well known team that's going to lose because it's not actually 1v1v1 its 2v1

You're in NUKE ... that's not an HA guild. In fact I've never seen you in HoH, much less in HA. You don't make a very strong showing there.

I won't discuss whther you HA or not (not my place and I don't know you). But I will say 1 thing: Nurses' comment stands. Your posts do not contribute to this discussion and are only broadly generalized flames toward the population over the current change.

If you can point to any relevant posts where you don't just bash the oposition and call us unadaptive QQing crybabies, I'll be happy to retract that statement. But as you point out, this thread is going to go down in histroy as the one of the longest ever, so I would prefer not to run through all your posts just to defend someone who has made every attempt to insult the opposing players that they can and very little attempt to make a cooherent argument..

@all: the point of this thread is to discuss the current changes to HA, not whether someone is trolling in it. Please, everyone, keep your posts on topic or JR- will have no choice but to close it.

On Topic: Yes, I've gone in a few times this week and I'm noticing there are a lot more skips than I'm used to seeing in HA. Peek american hours particularly, I've been seeing more alter maps than anything else.

The amount of times thats happened to us is unbelieble. As soon as we enter broken, or the other game in scarred ends we get in local ' GANK STP NOW'.

In scarred its not to bad, you can run and put a team inbetween you and the other and get away. In broken its nearly impossible to hold out against 2 teams continually bashing on you.

6v6 is ok i guess, not a fan of broken tower at all. 4 min courtyard is deff ftw.

Last few nights has been skips aplenty.
Only 3 or 4 Int districts.

And Scarred sucks balls imo.
Typical scarred match will go like this.
5 mins as both lots of teams go at it til someone wins.
5 mins running around trying to avoid being ganked as other team comes in and all 3 teams split up
5-10 mins talking crap in local until someone decides who will get ganked
5 mins while the ganking happens
2 mins for the remaining strong team to rip apart the team most damaged during said ganking.

And broken is just down to luck and whoever the nub team attacks.

Truth be told, like I wrote in my previous post, even those who were curious at the begining and open to the change, now see that it was one big failure. (welcome to the dark side Sol ). I doubt they will change it back, because they are too stubborn to correct their mistakes. But current, empty HA is nothing yet.... Wait till they will release nightfall, and all the "newcomers" will go play the new pve campaign. I guess they could remove the game mode at all then, no one will be playing it.

Right now - half-empty place full of noobs, scrubs and 3 overplayed builds
Tomorrow - empty place.
I have to say, while I was very open to 6v6 HA, I do think it is a mistake.

Tombs now is like RA. It's for a while but in the long run it gets REALLY boring.

i think the whole 6v6 situation relies a lot less on player skill. Some builds will just win vs your build (unless other team just messes up completely)

and as phasola just said, it was fun for a while, now its just getting boring and repetitive.

actually, I see them in there around 11pm cst. Also, at any point, just about any GVG squad could make a far stronger showing in HA (especially in the current format) then an HA squad.

/agreed

Look at Eat...they hardly ever did HA and they held constantly during the 6v6 event.

And that's the difference. Strong HA guilds you see during at least half the day. Members guesting for other guilds (you see a lot of members from iA, Mush, BC, ugly, MiNi, MiSS, even WM playing in hoh winning groups) or part of flist groups are seen from those guilds a lot during approximately 8 or 10 hours during the day. If NUKE gets on at 11cst and that's the only time you see them ... obviously NOT a very strong showing in HA. But that's just my definition.

I never had that with my guild, although we're a pretty known guild ppl never said something like that. Sure, ppl said: EaT, you're gonna die, fine, we won from them. Mostly we're the guild just going in at Scarred, I even enjoy it if people open the door and come for a little fight, fun on it's best. Oh well, maybe ppl just like us, although we can be trashtalkers (trashtalking 90% of the time when we face gimmicks).

That update was increadible, it PROVES that Anet does in fact listen to its users and it gives me hope that 8v8 will be returning, hopefully sooner than later.

Although at a recent Anet function Gaile was asked about the 6v6 change and she said it was going great. Thread is here with link to video

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?p=2133987

I just hope they DONT listen to superfan who would like there to be no rez in PVP LMAO!!!!
