Default Costume Brawl Arena?
THIS WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED, JUST WANTING OPINIONS!!!

Anyone else wish there was a costume brawl arena added cause of the state pvp is now? which in my opinion (idk about the euro side) is dead. I mean with HB and TA dead, and codex... well it's codex, that's all that needs to be said about it.... I think we should have a costume brawl arena


Why?

Everyone gets a chance for the gamer title b4 gw 2 (i was smart and already got it)
Kinda like hero battles without the heros so many fans of HB will like it
Smaller than AB with less wait times
Set skill bars, so not like there would be a meta.... (be nice if the skills bars changed weekly or something)

what do u guys think?

gah but if anything lets have roller beatle racing with the ladder!!!!

I've love to have Costume Brawls, then again I've logged a total of 3 hours of Guild Wars in the last month due to Hero Battles being removed and having nothing to do besides spending the money I earned from getting free Zaishen Keys.

Costume Brawl is the best casual arena by far.

Gamer title can only be acquired by competing against other real players(e.g. D-arena, C-brawl, Snowball, Rollerbeetle, and Dragon Nest) The acquisition of this title relates to PvE in no manner, except the grind aspect which can be expected considering the rarity of their occurrences.

Costume Brawl > AB > GvG > TA > PvE > HA > CA > RA > Torture > HB

So yeah signing this.

I'm also adding that a permanent CB should not give gamer pts. Baltha faction, that's all. I know I risk post deletion and a forum ban for saying this since deviating opinions are NOT TOLERATED but I'm gonna stick my neck out(again) and say it nonetheless.

i agree with u on the gamer part. gamer title is good as of now and should stay that way. im sure most of the ppl with gamer title right now dont want to see r12s walking around everywhere. having cb all yr round is fine, but having noobs grind it all yr long so that every1 max it out is not fine.

however, cb=hb>ta>ab>ha>gvg>ra>pve

yes, real players, for instance lots of pve players

the only reason it's hard is because of the limited opportunities to get gamer points and the stunningly dull nature of the combat

ummm, just because pve players play the game doesnt mean its a pve game. if thats the case then gvg ha are pve games too, since pve players also play it.

limited opportunities to get the title is only part of the reason its hard. the most important reason is that it actually takes some skills to be good at event games, hence the name skillz title, as legit skills such as dodging is involved. with the exception of costume brawl, which which requires a different kind of skill (capping), and snowball(avatar skills) event games are in fact very balanced and therefore rewards skill more, if not as much, then other pvp formats.

I say remove Codex (or dont remove....who really cares) and implement a permanent Costume Brawl arena. Granted the two are kind of similar, but it seems like costume brawl requires more skill. The Costume brawler bars could even be changed at intervals, but problems arise in this in that the bars must always be made in balance with each other. I have problems with Dragon Arena because the conditions are always static, and it would be deserted even faster than Codex was.

a Canned Build arena with a elimination style game sounds like fun

but if the cap points are kept this will suck

u got it the other way around. cap pts>elimination simply due to their encouragement of deeper strategic thinking. capping offer more ways to play/win the game rather than kill kill kill

so basically you want hero battles back, only without the build diversity and without the heroes?

"Build diversity" is what breaks the non-8-man arenas: "We don't have the resources to balance 4v4 so TA/HB need to go and be replaced with a self-balancing arena - Codex"

Heroes belong in pve. (and not even there)

hey thx for the replies i didn't know this thread would do so well. Yeah i just think cause gw 2 is coming out the sesonal arenas should be made into permanant arenas, like maybe after the aniversary and dragon festival just leave them in the game so we have something to do


And btw u dont use heros in coustume brawl, and u fight real people so i dont see how it's PvE.... u can use ur PvE characters in all aspects of PvP soooooo i dont how this is a PvE title.... Gamer = PvP title Luck=PvE
