Ah, sad about HB being removed since I like it and not the RR, but, hope SD comes too :P

Farewell RR Day

I'll miss screaming "For America!" and "America Never Resigns!" to the Euro team that's blue and slaughtering their discord team with them screaming "resign" and "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you". It was a pleasure though.

I still wish they'd just leave the arenas in. I don't like taking away options. I enjoyed HB when I was bored, didn't require a team and was just all about me knowing what to do. I don't understand why they couldn't just leave the arenas in and continue to neglect it as they have done for it's entire duration. Better than totally removing it I think.

Yes, I can confirm that HB and TA will be removed with the next build.

Make sure you remove the 5 TA wins requirement for new accounts to unlock HA.

One thing I'm worried about is whether or not they will put it on the log-in page. Very few people in-game seem to know about this at all.

You can't just expect the wiki'ers and forum users to tell everyone else.

I'm pretty sure they already said that from now on everything will automatically be unlocked for everyone.

Couldn't they leave HB in and implement dishonor for resigning/leaving twice within one hour like in AB or RA.

Was surprised to discover this wasn't already the case

Then increase Combat Bounty required number of wins to 3 and RR day will never come back.

Yes. And this week is AFTER the last monthly. They said "after the monthly it will be removed," not "right after the monthly, it will be removed."

Really?! (this is a rhetorical question)

I'm sorry, but I'm disapointed in you Regina. I don't know how things are behind the scenes at Anet and it may not even be your fault at all, but this should have come straight from you from the moment you had the green light. Gaile/support singlehandedly gave out more info about this hot iron than the complete CR team that was most likely lurking around. Seems like the CR team wets their pants when to face this community and rather say nothing at all to play safe and this is not the first time. My apoligies if I'm wrong but I needed to get this off my chest.

Peace out!

Is Sealed Deck going to be a RA type or a TA type of arena? I hope it's RA type so everyone can participate without the dweeb elitists taking it over.

I'm kind of wary with trusting RA skill level people to make up their own builds from a limited selection.

End · Oct 19, 2009, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I would be laughing all day if they took out TA and HB...and forgot to take out the Zquests for them and the next day the TA zquest poped up.

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 19, 2009, 09:32 PM // 21:32

confirmed that HB will be taken out. not confirmed that the new stuff will be put in :P oh well, take the updates in strides i suppose ;-) better than nothing

I would guess that we'll see all kinds of problems from this.

One of them, if they don't put it up on the log-in screen, will be thousands of players going, "Hey! WTF happened to TA and HB?!"

HB/RR day has been a bigger CR failure than the XTH, Speed Clears, and Shadow Form combined. And that's saying A LOT.

Here are two valid reasons for removing HB:
1) It's a gigantic shithole (as are many other things in Guild Wars, but one less of them is good in my book)
2) Very few people actually care about it as a competitive format

These apply to TA as well, just delete 'gigantic'.

Byebye broken formats.
