Because HB was in a shittier state than RA.

Hello. I'm Codex Arena, Welcome to the quick fix of screwing up. Don't like it? Hate is nothing we are new to here. Mostly everyone has a problem with something about the game. Better some more hate than a broken system. :]

Because Anet's server stats said nobody was playing HB and TA, compared to something like RA. HB and TA were dead formats even though they both had a group of loyal followers. It's a numbers game in the end, bums on seats wins.

I must say I love the new format. It really forces the players to think to make up original bars that may not be a part of the current meta.

Some players have presented issues *6 fire skills but no fire attunement*, *Air attunement but only invoke and gale*, *lack of healing prayers*

I see this as being common with a randomized system. I also see it as perfectly acceptable. If a player can't work with the 20 skills he/she has been given, he/she needs to either change their bar, change their secondary, change their primary, or try again the next day as the skills will constantly change.

hmm maybe i shld rephrase my earlier sentence. they could like make random arena codex format style instead now i go in and see so many people in lfg are like lfg (insert glad rank).

Edit: nvm just realise it will be a disaster if this system is used for RA

I must say, this was the first time I've truly had fun in Guild Wars in a long time. The great thing is, tomorrow's a completely new day for this.

The whole thing is ruined by the this stupid system.

One codex point is given to individuals who achieve 5 consecutive wins in Codex Arena.

I tried making a build for dag sins and noticed desperate strike was the only lead attack. That didn't give me a whole lot of options to work with.

So the entire format is ruined because you cannot farm the title fast?

any game where u can implement sealed deck (mostly trading card games, and now gw), there are skills that suck, it's normal.

that's the point of sealed deck, to come up with the best build possible, with craptacular skills given to whichever professions your team is composed of.

you dont like that? hey that's you and its kool, but the format wins, in the eyes of others.

ps. if you want a format where skills are handpicked for you, look elsewhere, but codex arena is not it.

You said it's ruined because one point is given after 5 wins. Pretty sure that has something to do with the title.

what then? you said, "this whole thing is ruined by this stupid system." and then talked about the title.

i agree the title is a bit steep to achieve, but not to the point where it ruins the format.

that's actually something that plagues pvp in general, don't try to pin this on sealed deck.

They are using the same dated reward system as RA. Is it so much to want something fresh and new?

Like what? There really is nothing else they can do to make the title achievable.

A win/lose record would be more enjoyable. But I don't think that could be made into a title.
