I could've gotten a bambi in one run, but I haven't had those kind of runs until I was r7 :P

I don't think I ever won halls unranked. When I was unranked halls was a lot harder to win 4- or 5-way, plus a 10-minute timer favoured the holding team more and it took more skill to take the altar. Which is something an unranked pug lacks. Plus, before the nerf (no, I won't call it "change", it was a nerf) people got a lot less skips, so less chances for that win due to stupid luck.

R0, Win at Hall, once, long time ago.

Simple enough?

i didnt win halls til i was r3, and it was a lucky win too. my next win was r5 and i havent won ever since (r6 now crawling to r7) ;_;

so to answer op's question: no i never did =/ i was also unranked like Alleji when halls had the 10 min timer and more than 3 groups in HoH were still seen.

when you get high rank anything under 100 fame a day is considered bad, back on topic, the first time i won hoh was with a friend and we held 5 times with some korean people, i had just gotten r1 before joining that group and ended up as r2 when the run was over.

Guys, While we're on topic, how much fame you get for winning How? I'm 337 fame [~30 is iway fame] ...oh and i never won HoH :/

ZenRgy · Aug 14, 2006, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I won it once back in the days of air spike, I win it on occasion now but I'm r5 now. ;p

nomercy · Aug 14, 2006, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Well I am a retired HA'er (I got sick of all the error 7's in that place) and I am r3 with 245 fame. I've been to the Halls about 15 times now, have yet to win

.

Been close once though, we took the Altar at 0:45, and the opponent stole it in 0:03... 3 seconds away from winning...

My first win (and sadly, since then, only) HoH win was when I had less than 20 fame.

4ish times before rank3, running with Pi/Rnub rspike/barrageway. Good times.

Raging Pacifist · Aug 15, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Pre r3 I won it twice.

First time was henchway, took the altar from brehon and fought an r9 pug

Second time was henchway, held against two iway teams

I got two sigils, since the chest drops the same amount of stuff even with henchies. Or so I believe.

The team was me, an r9 friend of mine, a r6 friend of his, and an unranked infuser we randomly invited.

I'm just barely passed rank1 but I've been to halls about 10 times, sometimes with pugs, sometimes with guildies.
each time we were either bested by a top ranking guild or got to cocky for our own good.... Well except the last time we were there when the stupid ghost and I got friggen stuck in the stairs RIGHT AT THE ALTER! I had ghostly and since I couldn't move, neither would he... I was one step from where he should be *sighs* I've been too ticked to play since then >_<

Never won halls yet, but I will some day. I'm not in any rush and all my fame has been adding up from putting new guildie pvpers through the paces so yeah.. *shrugs*

No fame, no rank, no halls.

Poor me.

Ventius Hozza · Aug 15, 2006, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Never won HoH till i was rank 5.

I 'spose it was my curse for starting when Power was around

Buzzer · Aug 15, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Got my first and only HoH win @ 80 fame with bloodspike about 2 weeks ago.

Halls is a bit poor in my opinion. it does feel nice I guess winning, but to me, it just doesn't feel like much of an achievement, _some_ of the teams that consistently win just really aren't all that great. The standards are extremely low in general so it just doesn't feel much like a big deal when winning halls.

Personally I don't play halls much for such reasons, I didn't actually win halls till i was rank 4. At times now though, when entering with a team that's got even a hint of skill you know you're probably going to win the halls, at the very least get there. I'm rank 8, I've never really grinded any of it, the vast majority of it comes from getting good 7-8 win streaks every so often. Without getting skips, and with the luck of avoidning courtyards altar ganks chances are you'll face a lot of unorganized pick ups. There are still some good organized teams in HA (iA, QQ, some known pugs like sama) ... and there's teams like LuNa who I'm pretty sure don't even use voice communication, and they win a lot... the fact they can do so without much communication says a lot

I like the time being reduced because no one did anything in halls matches anyways until at the very earliest 3 minutes in halls anyways. How often did you honestly see teams running around attacking each other at the 7 minute mark in an old type halls match. It saves alot of wasted time which could be used getting more fame.

I concur, I think they should make courtyard the same too, and make broken tower three teams and 5 minutes too

My IRC quote: HoH is a sawmill for noobs with nubs where even henchies can win the mission!

And it's true, it's not as tough as it used to be, it's not as challenging when you know what builds are there or if its one of those "special" times when NO ONE is there then henchway ftw! Since most of the top guilds stopped running in there I have had no interest in playing, because I want that challenge and it's just not there anymore. I mean the best feeling was being in a more than horribly ranked guild and going up against a rank 15 guild and surviving the onslaught! Even if we didn't win it, it felt like we at least accomplished something... *shrugs* That's just my opinion though >_>
