Does anyone know if theres a chance that TA will return? I believe that was the best PvP Arena for the player who liked to organize and try out different builds. Random Arena is just that, not enough organization to stimulate strategic game play and Codex is ok but the skill list limits it too much. IMO TA was the perfect arena for a small group of friends who wanted to play together.

What does everyone else think?
Also I never figured out why they took out TA?

*ArenaNet said TA and HB are not coming back. Thats the end of it really.
*I believe TA was removed because it was generally empty. CA allows you to choose your team, so it's basically TA with limited skill selection.

Yea, TA is gone forever. RA is the new TA due to syncing going on. I've seen 2-3 players with like guild tags on a regular basis now, and that's pretty much guaranteed faction and gladiator points because RA just has so many obstinate resign-denying players who'd rather hack-n-slash to their doom than save their team the grief of time wasted. It's known as "malice".

CA is pretty dead and broken too in all reality.

Actually , yes , we can't believe TA was removed because it was empty , since Codex was even more after 2 days only . TA was part of the game since its beginning , thus , after few years , and never caring of it in updates , it's obvious it will get empty. The same can apply to HB , although lot more people did play it ( not counting quest farmers ) .

And then , they remove both formats , saying " Ascalon academy is by far more popular " , for a format where you can find at best 10 people on quest day. I would like to know their reaction about it personnaly , since it's now almost a year Codex arena is out , without any single update .

Also , it would be nice if people who never played both formats stop arguing . Some people had fun playing TA and HB for years ,and then it got deleted for no VALID reason . Just consider deleting The underworld because of all massive farmers.. How do you think people , who did play it with normal builds and for fun , would react ?

TA was deleted because it was stale not empty

Elnino · Jul 01, 2010, 09:18 AM // 09:18

Stale and empty.

If it was purely because it was stale, then the entire game should have been deleted.

No chance ever of TA coming back. Anet said so.

exactly how i feel...i loved to run TA with my friends since it was a fun strategy based arena that didnt need the dedication that a GvG match or HA match needed and I'm starting to get annoyed with RA...mindless gameplay
