I've been talking to a couple of my friends that use to do it, and a couple of the top 10 when it was around and we think Hero Battles should make a come back! Many people might disagree but near the end more people started to like it again (even on none z quest days). Yes i agree this arena did have it's flaws but what doesn't? It's kinda late to get into GvG if u r not already, and HA isn't what it use to be but i'm not here for that I just want opinions. I couldn't care less if there is no z quest or if u couldn't even use emotes while in a match.

Who all is with me?

Also if u want u could post ur MAIN acccount name u used while playing hero battles just so we know who u r, thx

HB was a complete broken arena, and when RR day was on, the whole RA was down because of the error 05 or something.

CA is atleast balanced and challenging.

wat makes CA balanced? what makes it challenging? being able to pick a usable build out of a list of useless skills makes you hardcore gamer right?

HB was broken, but it was much better than codex. ta was sad but it was better than codex. just imo. no need to argue with what my opinion is on that one, it's a minor issue. but the problem here is, some people liked playing HB, some people liked playing TA. why remove them? if RR is problem, remove the zquest for HB, or lower its reward value, make it not give u faction but give you rating instead.
if ta is dead and has a stale meta, separate it from RA and no longer allow TAers to get glad points from TA. let people play it just for the fun of it. why remove it?
adding codex is a worthwhile attempt to make the game more interesting, but removing the two arenas instead of fixing them makes anet look irresponsible, and it ruins the fun for some players, some good players.

edit:
forgot to add the account name: kira shadefang/kira magebane. shadefang is my hb name, i believe. but i might delete that char soon, if it's about credibility, magebane is more stable.
I am all for brining back TA and HB, or even just one of the two. any of the two is better than RA and codex combined~

I guess I should specify it more clearly without RR and z-quest and that jazz so u cant go in and auto win or lose, u'd have to play the game, and hero battles (minus like capways and dual melds) was getting balanced, most groups did use the frontline midline backline techniques (sin/war/derv, capper, rit, monk ( sometimes two monks or two eles)) it was getting there. Not saying that a-net has to make updates for it ever couple weeks cause players were still finding ways beat the dual meld teams and other lame ways.

they removed hero battles and team arenas because of the lack of people playing there. removing these two cause less lagg on server.

thats where i would put my money anyway

cool, now maybe u should rethink that comment if u REALLY did play hb, not just rephrase what other noobs are saying....HB was never "complete broken" kk. and if u want facts:
it took HB more than 2yrs to be "completely broken"
it took CA less than 2months to be dead

and CA is balanced?yea sure its balanced but who's playing it now? go to teh district and take a llook, its not fun
and CA is challenging?LOL nice joke me and some friends just played it for fun around teh time it started and we got 50 wins easily...

k....they might as well remove entire gw because the lack of people playing it compared to 2yrs ago.

HB is dead, deal with it, and stop QQ

Not signed, HA was the worst. At least at Codex arena i have fun. Just because you were good at something and you liked it doesnt mean the rest of the comunity feels that way. A quick way to prove this is count the positive/negative posts on you thread.

well....HA was the worst then maybe u can start a petition to remove HA. and i assume this post has nothing to do with trying to change what the rest of the community is feeling? a quick way to look at this:
-people who says HB is bad does not like playing HB
-people who says HB is bad does not care about HB

to fix this problem we can get:
-people who doesnt like playing HB to not play HB
-people who doesnt care HB to stay away from HB

and there u go, both sides get what they want

my point exactly it took years for HB to die down and it only took months for codex to die, not saying to remove codex or anything like that so dont get mad at me codex players.... also wanna point out that codex is becoming like HA, alot of groups r now forming by glad title, HA title, and codex title so it'll be even harder to get into a group now, which will make it die faster... u never had that problem in Hero Battles

CA is dead, deal with it and QQ

ps. even hb lasted longer than this borken format called "CA"

so PvE players can have less lag on server?

Fluffy Kittens · Dec 11, 2009, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Bring back HB because it was fun and the most competitive arena for solo players, with awesome tournaments and rating system...but bring heroes back to HA too ffs!

at least we still have players who missing hb even after they removed it. Where is people who love to play CA? in ha? gvg? or pve?

how u gonna play 4v4 format with less than 8 players in server ? isn't that worse than hb ? (hb needs only 2 players to start game which means it is perfect format for dead game like GW

)soon if A-net doesn't do anything about CA then people will say CA was broken format just like HB (ps. they didn't do anything about HB for over 2 years)

this thread is for the community and it looks like people out there do like it, i also like how u said "at least at codex arena i have fun" then right after that u say "and you liked it doesn't mean the rest of the comunity feels that way" it goes both ways the rest of the comunity might not vote for u either. I'm not here to QQ though

Garet1337 · Dec 11, 2009, 09:36 AM // 09:36

Also would like to say that i understand that people might not have liked it, but in that case just dont play it, u dont have to ruin it for everyone else

This can be fixed by making teams random and not prefixed like TA.
