ok lets face it, we all think Heroes' Ascent sucks, and Tombs of the primeval kings is ftw.

did anet really had to change the outpost for a misrible pve section? i think not.

i think we should all annoy anet to bring back the old tombs out post, cause we all love it and want it back!

really don't you think it was better?

It's a 5 second zone in than your out of there.

The old Tombs was gone because all arenas were moved to Battle Isles at the time of the Factions PvP Preview event (January 20-22 if memory serves me). If the old Tombs was still an entry point for Hall of Heroes, the PvP population would get as diluted as the PvE one, since multiple chapters would have multiple entrances and multiple zones to muster from.

Lore-wise it would be perfectly acceptable to have multiple active entrances to the Hall of Heroes, but for the sake of practicality it's better to have a single active entrance for PCs. If you disagree, try getting a FoW/UW group in Zin Ku Corridor and see what kind of player pool you have to muster a party out of.

Incidentally, I was very much impressed with the way ANet handled the move. Rather than simply close the entrance they introduced new content into the game, and I applaud that decision.

there is a reason why they changed it you know
they didn't just do it for ****s and giggles,
firstly they didn't make it a farming whole.
they just moved the enterance to HoH to a diffrent location were everybody from every campaign could go.
and secondly the reason why its a farming whole now is that since it had no more use you might as wekk use it for something.
the point is that it merely got moved to a diffrent location and its a by-product that people farm there now.

i understand what you all saying that ppl from all the campaigns can reach there, but seriously, it was a better place, larger and was more fun there, bright and all this crap, here its dark, smaller, uglier.
in the old one you could transfer pve chars to dragons lair! until they fixed it =[ good times

There used to be much better players in Ha be4 the move.... Apparently , wif the move & increased interest in gvg, HA gmae play currently is playing at a lower standard than wat it used to be, IMO

Just as people stopped complaining about losing the Rifts, you found something else to moan about.

How on earth does a different location and entry map effect the quality of PvP in comparison to when it was Tombs? If anything the Zaishen are harder to pass than the Ghosts for your lower level PuGs.

If you want to try and find a scape-goat to blame the ever decreasing level of play in HA on, maybe try looking at the average HA players attitude. Trying to pin it on the fact that it has a different map location is just ridiculous.

The change of entrance to the hoh has no bearing on the players that have moved on from ha to gvg, or on the builds that are used now and weren't used before the change, its just a coincidence.

But yea i do miss the old map, maybe they should just change the HA skin to the old tombs one, that would be pretty cool. But really i dont care all that much tbh.

This reminds me of the time I was called a nub in Ob chat because we ran iway in ha out of boredom and lets face it its easy to put together.

Only response that came to mind is... HA is nub anyway who cares.
