I know it’s too early to speculate, but I want to see what PvPers think about this. If we’re actually going to fight The Darkness in Nightfall, maybe we can get Anet to fix something they broke. I want them to twist the game mechanics and plot slightly so the darkness is “in retreat” about a month after Nightfall's release.

And the place it retreats from if is the old Hall of Heroes in Tyria. Leaving the portal exit open will allow PvE players to “patrol” the maps and farm greens while they keep HoH safe for PvPers who click the enter PvP tab to go back to 8v8 competition.

I don’t believe Anet would ever resend 6v6 HA without massive player response, but this might be a compromise that lets Tyrian players who know and loved 8v8 HA get back into the gamtype they enjoyed.

It’s the best of both worlds. The new playerbase Anet is catering to get what they want and the HAers who have been with this game since Prophecies don’t feel like they’ve been given the cold shoulder.

/sign off on your view.

EDIT: without bumping the thread I'll answer Medion's question. Sadly, people who only own Factions or Nightfall will not have access to the Tyrian HoH. I'm not going to ask Anet to build them one in this thread either because it would be a lot of extra work for them to do it and the idea would become buried.

Most hardcore PvPers who liked 8v8, I believe, have both games. Those who later choose to get into Guild Wars will just not know what they're missing.

6v6 HA will be "the" Hall of Heroes, as well as the rest of the Battle Isles being the place to PvP. As stated, I believe this is the direction Anet is going in. So let em have the fame and the gold drops and the sigils; I don't care at this point. I just want my darn game back.

What about those people that only have Factions/Nightfall. And what will be the 'real' Hall of Heroes (which is going to be in observer mode and gets an XXX is winner message every 10 minutes?)

I like the idea of making an 8v8 PuG-arena aside the 6v6 HA though.
