I'm suprised no one has made a thread about this yet, and if someone did feel free to delete this.

Heroes' Ascent Test Week 2 August 2007
As part of our continuing practice of reviewing and refreshing PvP gameplay mechanics, we're launching another test week featuring changes to the Heroes' Ascent area. We'll be looking for your feedback about the HA changes after they roll out this week and as always will give them full consideration in subsequent potential updates and revisions.

Getting rid of Kill Count maybe?

Finally... but really they gotta test it? like whats wrong isnt completely obvious? but hopefully it will make HA fun again.

pigdestroyer · Aug 02, 2007, 07:02 PM // 19:02

this is pretty interesting, hopefully they got rid of killcount wich is by far the worst objective in HA.

Miral · Aug 02, 2007, 07:02 PM // 19:02

maybe they'll try 10v10

probably gunna get rid of heroes since most high rank HA players can't defeat this game's godly AI *rolls eyes*

Vermilion · Aug 02, 2007, 07:34 PM // 19:34

It has to be a change to kill count..yeah. I don't know about heroes though, we'll see. Regardless, Anything>nothing. (probably)

Hopefully kill count will be finally removed.

Neo Nugget · Aug 02, 2007, 09:03 PM // 21:03

Yeah, i did most of my HA'ing before kill count and when i wanted to finish up getting rank 3 killcount came in. Never did HA since i got r3-.- hopefully killcount will get removed

You know, they could just not do this at all. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Jetdoc · Aug 02, 2007, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I wonder if that means we'll be seeing a skill update tonight (or tomorrow)...

I really really hope not. when they balance HA it tends to... ummm.... break PvE

It's too late anyways. HAers have gone to greener pastures, and unless the skill balance redefined the universe, it won't help.

From gailes talk page if no ones already posted:
Here are details of what will be changed for this play-balance test week:

* Removed Broken Tower from the map rotation.
* Removed Burial Mounds from the map rotation and replaced it with Fetid River, a new 8v8 Annihilation map that has a Priest.
* Removed Sacred Temples from the map rotation and replaced it with the Antechamber, a new 8v8 Control Point map.
* Added Forgotten Shrines, a new 8v8 Control Point map, to the map rotation after Unholy Temples.
* Changed the Courtyard's game type from Kill Count to King of the Hill.

yesitsrob · Aug 02, 2007, 11:14 PM // 23:14

Sounds promising to me. I think it would be a shame for them to remove Sacred Temples though.

pigdestroyer · Aug 02, 2007, 11:15 PM // 23:15

wow new maps, thats amazing, cant wait to try them.

allience · Aug 02, 2007, 11:35 PM // 23:35

they should put back king of the hill at hoh. the capture points maps will be just as hated as kill count. and 100% this is not a "Test" week. remember last time they did a so called "test" week? and they let us have kill count till now AND the crap hoh? so yea, update should say: removed kill count and replaced it with something just as unwanted.

i'm not looking forward to this week. i've thought for a long time they'd replace kill count with capture points, turning HA in to a disgusting mix of hero battles and AB. i hoped they'd realise it's stupid and just give us back old HA as it was, 8v8 with king of the hill but of course, it's not gonna happen.

no wonder these days half the population of heroes ascent IS actually HEROES. hello olias!

Dragonious · Aug 02, 2007, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Wow. Kudos to ANET. No more kill count, a king of the hill map, and the antichamber which sounds like a beastly final map.
