Yey Good old Anet, i knew they would come through for us, they always do in the end

hrm i thought they already had a place to do hero battles.......:P Maybe they should just make it somehow more rewarding than just faction pts...say like "model" it on HA where u have rotating maps..etc... I would do hero battles but don't see the point as there is no "reward" for doing so...where as if u "happen" to win HA with hero/way u get a drop from the chest and braggin rights. Maybe copy the Rank stuff and give the person who wins/gains certain maps or pts a new leadership title... Don't flame me cuz I am the first to admit I am a noob :P

EDIT: Didn't notice they put in titles with this update :P

A new title was introduced for winning in Hero Battles, surely all the PvE'ers wanting there People Know Me or Kind of A Big Deal will now go there instead.

I would like to see such in improvement in most, if not all arenas. This counts less for arenas, but does so for team and random.

Your going to learn how to win altar maps by other means then just kill them all by spamming 1337 sf, ANET should not promote a zergrush, kill them all type of gameplay.

Can you max that out? I assumed it was like hero/glad title. (unmaxable)

Patccmoi · Dec 21, 2006, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Hmm... new system for skill consideration that players will really love?

Beta server with skill changes to be tested after they were tested by alpha team but prior to be released in competitive play where they will affect ladder, etc? It's something games like WoW do afterall prior to releasing patches, opening a server for everyone to test.

I kinda have a hard time figuring what else players would 'really, really love'.

Cause something like 'Hey, we're getting better info now cause we have new statistic programs. You're really really happy, right?' kinda doesn't seem to cut it.

I guess my future of guildwars will not continue if this keep up. This is not a threat or any kind, but see it like this, I won't buy any more guild wars expansion/stand alone.

This is why HA/GVG/Ra/Ta is called PVP which again is short for player vs. player. IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AI VS AI. no offense, but if youre not going to actually take PVP seriously, dont turn it into PVE because you can now take 3 heros and 2 hench and go by yourself. Again, no offense, but it is people like you who thought like this that turned HA into hero team vs hero team which was half the problem. I am personally glad to see that heros are limited in HA and that these teams will no longer run rampant in EVERY MAP. either work your way into pvp like the rest of us had too, or dont PVP. simple

Agreed,

I'm not spamming a bambi because of my hatred of IWAY, but I didn't go running around with AI either. It just seems embarressing X_X.

SF has also earned my hatred too =(

thanks for the info!
i'm looking forward to the information about the changes with anticipation.

So, if anyone's played in HvH recently, there's a new fad of rolling dice and having the lower roll resign. ANet, you should've expected something like this People are greedy for titles.

Umm, pardon me, but "should have expected something like this?" What in the world? You do realize, that they have a limited staff? The people playing the game far out number the employees? I mean, woah. I can see maybe how ANet will need to do something to fix this, but honestly, they are only human working a very very complex piece of code. All you really have to deal with in this game is the playing of it.

I need to get on that.

Actually...

I tried HvH today just for the heck of it...

Opponent : Roll
Me : I'd rather not do that
Opponent : You <insert choice curse words>
Opponent has left the game

I'm not going to bother with this title anyway.

that's the saddest thing i have ever read. sincerely pathetic - what good is a title if you haven't actually earned it (if a title is to be any good at all, that is) :/

Seltack · Dec 22, 2006, 12:07 PM // 12:07

The solution is to change it so that its like HA where you get more points towards the title for consecutive wins. That way its to you disadvantage to do this.

It is possible to get your HA titles by rolling to resign on the first map, but no one does this because 1. You get more fame for winning more 2. There's an end goal to HA (win HoH). If they add something like more HvH points per consecutive wins or a chest once you reach 10 wins then this will stop.

More faction cap? I dunno.

Thom Bangalter · Dec 22, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

That's exactly it, mephisto. Plus, more account wide titles are a good thing.

master_of_puppets · Dec 22, 2006, 06:03 PM // 18:03

No, points for commander title should be only awarded for winning streaks like in RA/TA. Maybe a 5-win streak should get you 1 point and so on. Not likely to win 5 dice rolls in a row,

Thom Bangalter · Dec 22, 2006, 08:23 PM // 20:23

That's how it SHOULD be, but currently that's not how it IS. They need to fix that, but that means not going back to the arena after every match. They should just disable dice rolling there. And Rock/Paper/Scissors.

Bankai · Dec 22, 2006, 08:27 PM // 20:27

Changes to HvH I'd like:
-Implement consecutive wins. Don't just get back to the arena place. Go to the next match.
-?
