Curse

I know this has been suggested, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Anyways this speaks for itself, many of the greatest HA players (Like washing machine, spearsmen etc) stopped playing HA, high rankers are quitting etc. I personally don't care much, I think its a good change, gets rid of brainless spike builds and makes people actually have to think to win. Just pointing out that guild wars will probably lose over $100,000 over this little decision, there's countless of people quitting guild wars or selling their accounts even from it. Making a SEPARATE 6 vs 6 would be cool, but most people seemed to like HA as 8 vs 8.

and ppl selling their r10+ accounts for $400 on eBay.

I can't support your money theory, but I would like the two seperate.

I LIKE that people are MADE to adapt. We don't want this to become CS, a stagnant, unchanging game, where people continually do the same thing in the same arenas and people spit out their dummies when they are no longer 1337 due to the slightest change.

Sorry to be harsh about this, but it really is how I feel. If those people that are "legendary" players want to leave, then they can leave - other people will take their place.

Where the legendary players quit, the new ones will take their place. Im not one bit worried, I think we will all adapt to it.

This opens up many doors for new and fresh builds.

yeah but why not add an 8 vs 8 arena? Its not repetitive with gvg, its just a slugfest

I like the 6v6 change myself.

switch. shift. move. adapt. improve. extend. upgrade.

Well I think people's main complaint are the 6 vs 6 has EXACTLY the same strategies as 4 vs 4, only allowing for more variation. 8 vs 8 is entirely different. You think someone will run orders? heal party? dark fury? spirits? etc in a 6 person party? no. And they wont use them in gvg very often cause it doesnt allow for much flexibility. A huge part of gw pvp died. Like I say, I prefer 6 vs 6. But I think 8 vs 8 should be an arena, not hall of heroes.

Halmyr · Nov 01, 2006, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Make it so that it changes every week, 1 week 6vs6, 1 week 8vs8. Also make the changes on Friday for teh big rush, I'm sure many player will be saying something like this "woot 8vs8 this weekend, cant wait till friday". Same thing the otherway around. A nice compromise, everyone is happy!

That would probably kill 4 vs. 4 though...

Not A Fifty Five · Nov 01, 2006, 02:16 AM // 02:16

I dont think so. 6 vs 6 HoH didnt kill TA, and its the same thing pretty much only you can get a chest/favor.

Series · Nov 01, 2006, 02:19 AM // 02:19

How about make random arena 8v8? That would be exciting

Not A Fifty Five · Nov 01, 2006, 02:23 AM // 02:23

hehe. That would be absurd. Not saying I don't like it lol.

Um... actually, yes. I've seen all of those.

In an 8-man party, usually no more than 4 characters actually benefit from orders. Same applies to Dark fury, so people still run those.

Heal Party is one ofl the most efficient heas in the game, even in 6v6.

NR/Tranq screws up an 6-man party just as well as 8. Party size doesn't affect how Frozen, EW, QZ or whatever else is used in any way. The only spirits that are gone are Rit Lord spammers because they were nerfed significantly and no team has room for a ritualist anymore.

But that's all off-topic. Bring back 8v8... just go read the HA forum, FFS. Everyone there is complaining about it and less and less people like the new HA meta.

what new HA meta? at any time of any day you can observe heroway.. the new meta is npcs...

Not A Fifty Five · Nov 01, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

alleji, yes but those teams suck. One person less being affected by it makes a big difference. This is why iway is dead e.g., having order spams for 2 warriors is stupid.

Link4009 · Nov 01, 2006, 05:20 PM // 17:20

It doesn't matter to me if its 8v8 or 6v6,
oh and one of my friends a spearman, they still do HA, they just were busy

meowmeow89 · Nov 01, 2006, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Yes I was in an alliance with spearmen till we left, but yes, Spearmen still HA, they won last night.

Maria The Princess · Nov 01, 2006, 06:44 PM // 18:44

they should have left HA as it was and make a new type of tournament (maby that also brings fame?) that is 6v6

yes its easier now, doesnt take as long to organise a guild group (which takes long in a mostly PvE guild) but 8v8 was challenging and required more coordination
