Must have been an unofficial part of the update. Haven't seen one for over an hour of RA.

/rejoice

woootz! yay.

Hmmm I haven't tested out RA/TA yet (and it isn't on the wiki under notes yet). Can we get some more confirmations? (ie people who have played RA/TA for about an hour today, have you seen any shrine maps?)

I can confirm that it's really gone.

REJOICE!

W00t. Time to get drunk (in game, 8000 miniutes to go).

I also realized that HB has been removed, but I also assume something else:
The Kryta arena has started appearing in the map rotation a lot more than it has before HB was removed. Often times I get the map twice in a row, and rarely I have I ever gotten the same map twice in a row before HB was removed. This leads me to believe that HB was removed from the rotation, but now whenever a HB map was supposed to be picked, the Kryta arena is picked instead.

Note: I only played RA, so I cannot assume this for TA.
Does anyone else notice the difference?

Yeah, today I went to RA, got 15+ wins and I haven't had NF RA/TA map

LokiCai · Nov 09, 2007, 08:01 PM // 20:01

IlikeGW · Nov 09, 2007, 08:49 PM // 20:49

yay it's restored to a mindless title grind area

It sucked for RA, was pretty fine for TA but there was a lot of hate.
There's ALWAYS a huge load of hate when a major change about pvp is done, mostly seen at HA (6v6, killcounts, hoh changes...)

Now the hb maps are completely removed...

I hope they don't completely abandon the idea and this cool play format will return in some form. I've dreamed of HB as a real pvp with no dumb AI involved since it was released. It should return in some form - either separate TA, 4v4 or 5v5 tournaments using those maps, or make it open only periodically as a competetive style event or for a season and replace it with another play mode for another. Keep things interesting.
Most awesome thing would be combining this with Sealed Play, it's been 2 years since we heard of it first...

Yeah.. It might be statistical varience... but I'm getting the Kryta map a lot too. And only 1 NF maps in my last 2 hour run.

i think hb maps were a good idea for TA...but not fo RA.
