Is it just me (who own prophecies but not factions) or is the HoH PvP in Heroes Ascent much, much, ...lesser...in size than that of the glory days of Prophecies? Right now there are maybe 2 districs, but there used to be at least 8 or 9 or 10 HoH districts way back?

Yeah it has seemed to have died from back there but i dont seem to be affected as every single time i try to HOH i can never get a group unless i go IWAY or like Fast Cast memser spike, sometimes my friends might call me for a special build but after we loose the first time everyone leaves and the group just breaks apart. Or the times i do get a good group who is dedicated and willing to the go the extra mile we meet a High ranked guild group who just goes Chuck Norris on us

RA/TA/GvG for me

well if you think about it Faction offers Alliance Battles. And I'm sure that will attract alot of HoHers. So if Alliance battle have 2-3 districts themselves. That will be 4-6 districts in total when you combine Luxon and Kurzick together. So the 8 districts that HoH would have now is alot less since alot of players split to fight alliance battles. Hopefully I'm on point about this.

Why? is it just that there are so many fewer ppl playing GW, or just less intrest in pvp?

J snukka · Jun 29, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

HoH has people from factions and GW going there. Alliance battles is a new pvp thing in Factions.

If you don't check out the guildwars website here is an article discussing Alliance battles. http://guildwar.com/competitive/arti...ncebattles.php

No. It's just that HoH blows.

Not that many people play Halls anymore because it is all FoTM builds and it is just repetitive and boring. GvG is so much better although that is starting to go the same way 2 words Triple Smite although i am 99.9% sure it will get nerfed.

Lihan · Jun 29, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

Often international districts are pretty full.

Wee! 0 fame over here!

you wanna see hoh dead? play at 2 am - 4 am, most games are 1 vs 1 hoh, a friend of mine played dual smite and made 200 fame in 1 run at those times and said the teams were a joke (he said henchways, paladins, and teams worse than henchways were playing).

cleric · Jun 29, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

the reason i dont HoH anymore is cause when i play its almost always Blood Spike, IWAY, or smites.

there is no more creativity in the game. ALl the people that used to play a lot are quiting and its left a vacuum of good players. Its all FOTM builds or IWAY. I die a little everytime i see Rank 9+ iway looking for warriors. THATS JUST SAD.

Allaince Battles are very fun and you can join a group of 4 enter mission with out the sheer elitism that can be present in HoH.

And it's just fun over all being in a grand melee like it.

Also in factions the access to FOW/UW is HIDING IN PLAIN SITE. There is hardley anyone by the statues or shouting LFG FOW/UW. Combine that with the number of allainces that will ferry players to the elite missions.

Permasiel · Jun 29, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Plus you can actually make your group in your guild hall now.

makosi · Jun 29, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

3, 2, 1 spike!

/yawn

Its so predictable and full of gimmicks and full of fame farmers. People google the FotM and that's what you're fighting all the time (IWAY-> b-spike -> -> dual smite)

not fun or interesting.

Thom · Jun 29, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Alliance battle maps are more interesting than HA. It is quicker to get a group together and the battles are more diverse. HA needs a face lift to allow for more diversity in strategy. Straight up 8v8 and altar holding simply isn't interesting. I enjoyed the 8v8v8v8v8v8 map despite the fact that it often turned into a waiting game, the battles were insane.

eternal pho · Jun 29, 2006, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Yeah I loved those days where it was 8vs8vs8vs8vs8.

Agreed. Massive combat (and doubly large chaos) is a major element I appreciate in PVP. TA? No thanks. RA? Almost chaotic enough. HOH? Eh, 16ish people.. no thanks. Alliance Battles? NOW WE'RE TALKING!!

This is my post: HoH is only for people who have been playing HoH for the past year. Anyone new doesn't have a chance to experience that part of the game unless you get in a HoH only guild. I know i'm ranting a bit, but myself being a new pvper I really just wish I had a chance to experience HoH like it was meant to be.

Oh well Alliance battle FTW

floplag · Jun 30, 2006, 12:07 AM // 00:07

frankly i think its the arrogance of the hardcore PvPer thats lead to this and it isnt likely to get better

not all, but sooo many of the full time players there wont talk to anyone without rank they think we should have..even though rank is meaningless anymore

the new player has no shot to get into most groups .. even many casual PvPers with some rank/fame have issues

youve excluded the rest of us for so long..what did you expect ?

alliance battles dont suffer from this, and there is no shortage of players there

im one of many that has wanted to try to take part in PvP only to be shut out or called a noob... and now, for that crowd to complain of lack or players is ironic to the highest levels

i hate to say i told you so .... but
