Where is the 12vs12 Arena - Guild Wars Forums

Can someone please help me. I have a merged account. Any PvP character I make is in the Battle Isles. How do I find the 12vs12 Arena I played in during the FPE?

To get to the arena i go to my GH and talk to the Alliance Battle guy. Another way, if you don't have a Guild or GH is to go to the House Ze Heltz or whatever it's called or the Luxon version of that place. The 12v12 arena has changed since the FPE, you can only enter as a team of four now and can only see the four people from your team in the party menu throughout the match, you can also only talk to your team of 4 and can't speak to the rest of your team. Also if one team has all the stands you have one minute to take one back before the other team wins. Basically they've made it kinda rubbish and I probably won't be playing it again which is a shame since it's the only reason I bought Factions, lol.

Interesting, so alliance battles are fixed now? I was playing late last night, and it was still broke...

Zomg!! Prncess Amalia, the 12 v12 was also one of the biggest reasons why i bought factions too! That SUUCCKSS!! So now they make it even LESS interactice, LESS organized, and sounds like overall LESS fun!??

The whole production/distrubution issues that NCSOFT was having pieved me off, but i was holding my contempt since i was so excited about factions! And now to find they screwed with the 12v12 making it 2x more limiting then in the FPE makes me REALLY, REALLY, REALLY disappointed with Factions and NCSOFT overall. Now i truely am struggling to decide whether to maintain my purchase of Factions, or simply forget the whole thing... If things arent changed, for shame!

yeah I am sooo with you guys on that - with the big disapointment that the story line, and just over all lack - it was the 12v12 I was looking forward to.

But with my guildies all in a mission I went to the alliance battle arena only to find I couldnt just enter mission alone and later I was told by my husband that you only get to see the 4members in your party and thats it! They better change it cause otherwise... I will just stick with GW and they wont get anymore money out of me.

I hate to complain because their games are basically free with only paying 1 time - but who even wants to pay once if it's crap! I'm annoyed and been spouting it all day on the board. >_<

Am I understanding this right that it is not really like the FPE we all played and loved? Why would they give us that as the preview and then change it? Anet, say it aint so.
Well I'm glad I only bought one copy of Factions and won't be wasting my money for a 2nd acct.
