HA was golden when it had its own meta, and was even more fun when there wasnt a meta. (wooo pre iway proffecies days)

Today it just seems the HA meta lags behind the gvg meta by a few months, atm u got super defensive spike teams everywhere

Tombs was fun for me for about a week, then iway came along and every unranked player (including myself) had to do shitty iway pugs. I did that for about two weeks and went back to fps because it was so boring. So I guess the game had about 3-4 months of variety in pugs, even if they were crappy but at least it was fun. I came back and started doing some TA and it looks like that's d/r specials, surprise surprise. It's too bad because it really hurts the game when every new player is encouraged to use broken builds of the month rather than learning the game.

Loved it or hated it, you couldn't ignore it.

Whenever a new meta build came out everyone cried "omg ha was so much better before in the golden days before (insert newest meta build here)", but really, was it? No, there was a meta build before it, and one before that. Thats how HA always was (atleast post-beta, never played GW proph beta so I can't comment on that) but since the game was released HA was always a meta-based game. (well I don't play anymore so I can't comment on now either but a quick browse off this forum seems to tell me things haven't changed).

Ya because there wasn't a meta build pre IWAY. Air spike, minion factory and whatever else (too long ago, can't really remember...) definitely weren't meta builds...

So ya... HA was always meta based. And that was the fun in it, running a meta build or running a build to try to beat the meta. If you don't find that fun, thats cool, just play another PvP mode (GvG) or another game. I never understood why people always complained about the whole meta situation because thats how HA always was. Don't like it? Don't play. But yet it seems 3 years later people are still complaining about it.....

also, inb4 "omfg yunas iwayers like u ruined da game111"

Edit: Okay, well I guess you could argue that the golden days were running whatever meta (or anti-meta) was your favorite. So I guess for me that would have to be running a fire ele in an IWAY team pre-factions and just streamrolling teams and holding for a while. Had a lot of fun, and after all, isn't that what playing GAMES is all about?

The other veteran players should understand what I mean.

QFT...... I miss Tombs the true golden days of HA. When the game started. There use to be no iway and oldschool 8 ranger sway with all spirits (when spirits would overlap)....

on Burial Mounds Sway would pull a very leet tactic.... they would put up so many spirits that they would create a huge wall so no team would get to them... I miss Natures Renewal .... when it actually meant a RENEWAL.... all Hexes and Enchants would be removed in the Area.

I miss when getting to halls actually meant something. When actually fighting your way through countless teams (rarely 1v1 battles) .... would give you a sense of satisfaction....

I miss the unique builds that would come out as the term FOTM (flavor of the month) was introduced where there would actually be a new meta build EVERY month.... Air Spike one month... migraine another month... spiritway another month. Then... that fateful day... me in Stonecutters Clan when they were rank 80ish august 2005.... we are in Sacred Temples.... when we faced at that time was the dumbest build we ever lost to... 6 W/R with Pets a skill called Tigers Fury and I will Avenge You! with 2 monks run by guild called Nintendo Power.

One month later I quit GW because of f!#king iway... Math Idiots like Yunas Ele was born who to this day probably still believes SB can save you from Shock. I consider it golden because of the unique builds. No creativity these days.

I still think SWAY is a step up from iway... it is fairly easy to beat

Now its either Sway, Dual Migraine, Hex Pressure, R-Spike, Rit-Spike, A/D rainbow Spike.

There used to be 6-8 active american districts, and getting into AD 1 or 2 could take 5 mins. Good times

The golden ages for HA and GvG for my old guild. We had Hall wins every night and did rather well in GvG. I think this screenshot was taken 2 years ago. (Edit: ~Nov. 2005)

Golden age, when it was actually fun.
I still remember making my first noob pvp character, we were actually very good with R-Spike and trap teams.
