I may be wrong , but if she says a month and a half on the 28th 0f August then that puts the update mid October.

Wow, thats a lot of RPs.

They did say this was the last HB MAT.

I'll be trying sealed deck to see if it's my thing or not, but I'm really hoping it does turn out to be something good... As for the PvP special Armor skins, not going to affect me much. As a PvE player my PvP-Only characters only feel disposable to me, a throw away character. Not enough to grind special stuff for, I usually play PvP for Faction, zquests, or.....fun (wtf imagine that)...

"we would like to" =/= "we will" Why do so many people not get that? And do you see the "but" in there? Adding that in there is what's known as "hedging your bets." In other words, it'd be nice if they got it out in mid-October, but don't hold your breath.

Ah, but in ArenaNet's case, "we will" = "possibly."

I also hope this sealed deck arena isn't chooseup but random as that will make it the most fun one of all.

I think they said something about them being bugged, and if they are bugged then chances are we will never see them. It is really unfortunate too because I also think that would be the best addition to the game short of a GvG tiebreaker change.

I'll believe it all when I see it on the update notes.

Long and the short of it: if you really want FoW, go spend ten hours building your farm character (with Survivor 3 no less), tome your way to skills, spend about twenty hours farming something efficient like event items, and sell off the proceeds.

Presto! FoW in a month at most. A week for the hardcore that play this game like it's a full-time job. Don't even need XTH to do it, just a VERY small amount of effort.

On most classes, you can tome your way to all necessary skills for PvP play (including secondaries) with another couple hours of farming event items.

Seems to me with the huge amount of zcoins you can get in HA (350) per toon, plus the new map that is coming to HA and the removal of heroes, not to mention the quick run up of balth faction one can get there we may see a rebirth in the popularity of the format?

Sealed deck is pugger friendly so thats going to be wildly popular. Could this update swing the majority of players finally after 4 long years towards more pvp play?

Ccat · Sep 24, 2009, 01:37 AM // 01:37

Goody, maybe now PvP will be remotely accessible to PvE players and not alienate them by having lots of good skills destroyed (Smiter's Boon)

JoeGrogan · Sep 24, 2009, 03:10 AM // 03:10

What does sealed deck even mean? Excuse the noobishness

Only Pvp I play is occasional FA or JQ

Weeeeelll... r3 glad may not mean anything, but to me that's 1 more goal finished in gw. I have every armor set, every dest+torm weapon, every hero+animal in my hom. I have every honor statue except 3:glad, wisdom, and hero. I will have those 3. I know I'll never be able to get every mini, but I'll get as many as I can before gw2 or I get sick of it and play another game. So yeah. And lol @ zaishen rank meaning something. emote != value

This statement utterly confuses me. I would really appreciate an elaboration on it's rationale.

TL;DR: Lolwut?

I'm guessing sealed deck will seem interesting for a couple months then just die out.

I'm looking forward to the pvp rewards being cheaper, and I'm really hoping they release EotN stuff again for it. I have about 2000 rps that I've been saving just for that rather than spending it like I usually do.

It can't possibly make me PvP less because I've been successfully ignoring it for the last three years.

JoeKnowMo · Sep 25, 2009, 10:47 PM // 22:47

I was more hyped about it before. Now I don't think it's going to have much of an impact.

Acquire Zkeys, sell to losers who give a shit about the zaishen title track.

For my part, I enjoy HA, but I don't like the setup and group-finding time.

Black Metal · Sep 25, 2009, 10:55 PM // 22:55

hard to get hyped about anything when they can't deliver on their promises. xth, 2nd content update, being more open to their fanbase, anything substantial about gw2..........

Eragon Zarroc · Sep 26, 2009, 12:56 AM // 00:56

i wanna know how the new sealed deck format will play out

not to mention, NEW TITLE!!!

lol
