New PvP Training Area

I'm really pleased with the new training area that precedes the battle isles in the Faction's preview..it's a positive step towards building better PvP players.Even as a rank 6,I learned one or 2 new things(hornbows have 10% armour penetration?),and I'm finally sure about the various AOE's of skills. If anything,those barrels should solve the age old 'Swords vs Axes' debates..

Haha, you can vs AI Spike/IWAY Teams/Degen teams, etc, lol. ;p

Here, lol, click to see full image size.

Yeah, really liked it although I have not explored everything fully yet.

and the enemy henchies said: gg!!!!!

@Josh, maybe you should make that picture a little smaller, it's loading slow for me and probably for others too.

on a school computer loaded in a second

O!
Wow!
O WOW!
OMG THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WANTING!!

Those teams are like impossible to kill,failed each time at least 3 times.

Wow the picture is already down.

Rofl, I'll put it up again, but as a thumbnail. xD

this is the third time Anet has updated GW for free... what more can a kid ask for?

I was trying to repost it but I ended up with the bandwidth exceeded jpg and not this one. Thought I was losing it everytime I tried to repost and it came up as bandwidth exceeded.

Isn't this part of the PvP-preview-event then?

Medion:Battle Isle is going to be rolled out for all players eventually, Ch1 and/or Ch2

They might not even unroll it. (Actually, I'd be surprised if they did.

AAARRRRRRRGHGHGHG

I seem to have missed a few hours of this

good god

*loads gw*

Gaile just said that all changes in the world as of today are PERMANENT, that includes Hall of Heroes so yes battle isles is here to stay for Ch1 and Ch2.

I managed to beat all the teams but the ViM trapping team with henchmen. They're very easy if you custom tailor your build for the team you are going to fight.

The elites are much harder, since you don't know what you'l be facing.

I like all the masters dotted around the islands, the survival one just running his little ass off made me laugh when i think of all the threads on here about runners in pvp.

It is quite fun to bring holy wrath and retribution etc and punish those IWAY AI (while using spirit block).

Haha, can't find anywhere else that I can enjoy holy wrath the most.

The only two tough ones to me were the IWAY team and the Trapping team, that trapping team my god (I was just using henchies myself). I used Balthazars Aura on them and it didn't even phase them. They didn't even run away like most AI do on AOE's. I think there might be a bug in their damage take, they didn't even lose any of the red in their health bars.

The IWAY team I finally figured out to get in the corner of our starting position and make them come inside and group up, then used Balts Aura, and Wrath lol it was fry city.

And that Monk team was pretty awesome as well.

And since they put an IWAY team in the AI arena, looks like IWAY is here to stay the way it is. (smile)

Sorry for jotting in, but where is Zaishen Challenge? I'm in severe need of slaughtering something.

Go to the islands and talk to the guide. Do 2 quests and you'll get to the challenge outpost.
