HB had tourneys ( codex is supposed to have for months , but obviously not gonan come ( orly?)) , it only required 2 players to fight ( codex does req 8 , any other place in pvp 12+), had better title than arenas , quest was farmed , but so are GvG and HA quest .
I know HB and TA wont come back , but it's still so you see how nice were those arenas , and how joke is codex ( not to lie , they presented that arena as something nice , where there would be some new content , and as usual , totally crap from begin , without any new content for , now , 6 months + )

All codex did was further emphasize how anet fixes things. Anet takes something that is "broken" and "fixes" it with a metaphorical 12 pound sledge hammer...gives it back to us and says "there you go have fun!"

End result, we get something crappier than what we had before. It's like taking a child with a head cold to a doctor and the kid leaves with a full lobotomy....

THANKS ANET!!!

Make it random. The simple fact that you have to assemble a team that can and WILL kick you out if they don't like your build is enough to turn me away from kodex.

I rather play RA with all chat off if i want to experiment.

Actually , it seems that the code was made so you can have Heroes everywhere in pvp or nowhere . I do not see the problem of having heroes in zaishen challenge at least ( wtf?..). As well , they were a way of gaining a lot of time ( try play HA, GvG on GMT morning , early afternoon... ) . Hero battles had many players , tournaments , 1 win req title , etc ; codex has noone of these .

Not that hard to fix codex : simply allow Heroes there, and make title as in HB . It won't make the arena have 15 districts , but sure have much people do play it . But as i said , since the code seems like heroes everywhere or nowhere , i doubt they will do it .

Anyway , there are so easy fixes that could have been made for months , and we finally after 6 months waiting , get pages of update for THE pve mesmer .

I will post once again for Hero Battles ( and TA maybe ) to come back , since this codex arena won't ever change , but anyway , with all suggestion threads that have been made for years , it's like they don't even seem to take note of these ; ( yay for pve paragon update in august )

Make the codex arena random.

I dont have patience to spend hours trying to find a group, and, most important, i wanna play with my build, not others builds.

Way to redesign Codex = remove it and get Hero Battles back because 99% of community wants it. ZZZ WAKE UP ANET!!!!!!!

Basically, nobody (honestly, i know of nobody happy with it) is happy with how codex has turned out. Therefore a complete overhaul needs to happen before more people are happy with it. Maybe not a complete overhaul, but the 4v4 version is a failure. Maybe like what MISSING HB said would work. 1v1 with controlled/daily changing hero skills and only 1 of each prof in the party? I think i would like that and i think it would be more acceptable and more people would try it and enjoy it.

Thing is , it wouldn't be at all same than Hero Battles ( no caps) , but it could fix easy problems that arena had : no more teleports , no more so called " lame " teams ( people complained for some reasons of 3 r/p , 2 monk healer , 3n/a , etc... ) .

But , it would be necessary to change the title to 1 pt/win ( because , since everyone seem to play for title now , it will be like you have to fight 3 times same opponent till 5 wins , so, will be antibuilds , and etc.. )

But anyway , i highly doubt this would be implemented
