I just tried forming 3 hours ago.

3 Hours Ive been spamming (whilst watching movies in background) for "trying" out a new build, a FUN build. You know, the kinda build that this game was actually made for.

I got a total of 2 R9+, 3 R7+ and that's it.

HA is dead, it's official, ALL there is left now, is people with no lives, who DON'T even play for fun anymore, but rather for those last 3K fames for their Tiger. Sad, but meh, it was bound to happen

(Sadly enough I see alot of: R6+ Need Migraine, Rspiker, RaO, Fire ele spam)

qq more, who cares?

if you failed to notice (that you do) ha has been dead for a while now. move on.

Kyp Jade · Feb 02, 2008, 05:47 PM // 17:47

shoulda pmed me, I like trying fun things sometimes too

You wont get anyone for fun just about anymore, its all about the fame, and how to get it fast. Most of the team I played with last summer went elsewhere (between personal reasons, going to gvg guilds, or joining some guild that runs gimmicks for fame)

I want to play on relic runs or altar holds (or kill count and cap pt but both those objectives fail imho, kill count being more fun than cap pt ofc).

1v1 cap pts pretty much is RA/TA with HA builds, no wonder thumper builds are so good on those maps

I dont want to play twenty minutes vs a hex build on the first three maps that only wins because they sacrifice two migraine mesmers to shut down your one heal monk and your party degens to death.

I dont want to play twenty minutes against a ranger spike, not only do they have more defense than any spike should ever fit, thats a really clean spike. Some teams ive been in slot ward harm to counter rangerspike... should say how bad the state of HA is in.

I dont mind playing two minutes against sway on the first three maps, they explode fast generally, but I really hate playing against them on cap pts since they can split better than any balanced can and its pretty hectic on forgotten trying to save a monk thats away from you.

Please put more fun maps? Even altar holding is more fun than stupid priest maps.

Killed you man, i dont know how you did it, but you put me on the I want altar holding side of the argument.. *claps*

Seems to me that the reason HA has died is because of that fact that there are alot of players out there who have very low rank, or no rank, but alot of people that spam for HA groups all want r6+ or r9+ and that's just ridiculous. there are so many more players with low rank than with stupidly high ranks, but no one wants to play with the "low rankers" so the people with low ranks just don't play ha at all. therefore, far less people are in HA now than before, causing HA to die out.

Trevor The Wave · Feb 02, 2008, 06:06 PM // 18:06

it might be because usually people don't wake up that early in the US....unless you are looking for euro people

.

wuzzman · Feb 02, 2008, 07:02 PM // 19:02

lol. HA peaks at around 4-6pm Eastern. Thats when the hardcore euro farmers get online and the Americans start logging on. Then the activity dips drastically 1-2 hours after 6pm, somewhere between the 7-8 pm. This is when the majority of euro's log off. If your trying to form a group before 12-1 pm, don't. There is literally no one online. If your trying to form a group after 6pm. Hope you have a good group because after 7pm no one is pugging.

The death of Ha, as I said has been the fact that HA has become unpuggable and the main focus of playing that arena is getting fame.

Your life must be so hard.

Killed u man · Feb 02, 2008, 07:14 PM // 19:14

@^, Ye, my life is hard...

I'm not QQ'ing. HA has been dying, but over the past months, I myself ran more "crazy" builds than all other people together. (Crazy build = something "new", non meta) and I never had so much problems as today ( I simply couldn't go in because there is 2 much fame-farmers)

And it is SATURDAY, it isn't a Holiday, so U can hardly speak of "active" hours, seeing how the intire day SHOULD be active...

Also, some people, I think, have the wrong idea of inactivity in HA. It's not the fact that no-one is playing, it's the fact that YOU can't play, unless you roll 2-3 gimmick builds...

That is the state HA is in atm... Meh, good for me, I made alot of friends over the past years (E-friends ftw, who needs real life friends, right?) and I'm going to run it in a bit

Mayby It's time I start a: "Need people for fun/new build"-thread, seeing how it is (near) impossible to form ANYTHING non-meta in HA itself nowadays...

deluxe · Feb 02, 2008, 07:46 PM // 19:46

People dont want to be original, i've tried building teams and testing new builds, but people just dont want to run anything else than the standard legoway, tab-hex or whatever is the current meta. And even if you finally manage to get a full team, the people will just leave when they lose one or two matches. (you won't just get 10 flawless wins on the 1st try!..)And this is with r9+ teams..

But yeah it's not like this is something new, has been like this for at least the past 2 years.

Ye mayby, because it is that borat who made:

-The Popular 6 N/Mo, 2N/P Bloodspike , which got copied by every top 100 bspike guild.
-6v6 SoMW
-...
-Check out my HA builds in Build-Section

Sure, these are concidered "lame", but hell, atleast I made them in an environment of retarded builds...

OMG ANOTHER TRIPLE DYE WEEKEND, WHERE DOES ANET KEEP GETTING THE INSPIRATION OMGZORS)

I've never known a game, nor company, who charged per month and actually continued to release updates monthly, nor weekly, nor updates really worth face value per revenue generated by monthly fees. Fact is, the companies charging a monthly fee; are like American health insurance, grabbin all the money they can... If you think giving money away, will provide a better service, you obviously haven't paid for enough services to understand it's a crock...

HA kinda reminds me of the various economic bubbles that have appeared over the course of the US economy. No one cared about the deep problems that those obviously over-inflated bubbles will cause in the long run. "The money was good", is what investors and CEO's would say just before the bubble burst. I wonder what those companies and banks must have been thinking when they realized that the bubble will burst. As they frantically attempting to keep the status quo, making increasingly more drastic decisions in an attempt to keep their heads above the water.

Kinda reminds me of Anet and the HA community was 3 years ago. "The fame was good", as players shot to r9 and some even r12. There was no way HA could possible support itself in the long run. But who cared right?

If you're looking in local all the time, you even bother with local chat, and you're spamming for people from local - don't bitch at the game.

Think you missed the correlation. Monthly fees don't always equate to a better service.

american health care is pretty damn bad, I live here

Well it's not as bad as other countries =P. Fact.
