6V6 Weekend. Now that its out....

So, people had a lot of theories, suspiscion, joy, anger ect. over the 6v6 HoH.
Now that its out, what are peoples thoughts? Just curious....I like to see how things turn out




Mods: Didnt see another thread about this. If so, no need to notify me about it, just delete

It thought it was rather funny. There were people who don't know a single thing about pvp, just hearing about the event and takin a visit to HA. Not blaming them or anything.

Vimway ahoy!

i think it is fun and i go for the double fame

I have to say, it is weird... HA had been 8vs8 for so long, and all of sudden, now it is 6vs6. This bring back old memory in the desert arena for 6vs6.

honestly.. this weekend event has done everything except be fun..

My guild is always yelling at one another now.. every one is pointing fingers.. and we get raped every 2nd round or so..

i played in ha for about 5 hours today.. about 1 minute of that was actual fun.

This weekend event has single handedly totally ruined any of my passion for pvp.

not to mention the fact that europe has held favor for some kinda awfull long time now.. they must never sleep.. sick bastads

Never had any liking to HoH, I ended up going back to the old AB routine...

It's because the average Eu player has a lot more experience with balanced, and balanced scales well to 6x6. Am players just know how to play gimmicks.

That being said, I spent many hours in HA today and generally had fun. Not more fun than usual, mind, but it wasn't the r/bspike drudgery I was expecting.

Word!

Taking a very non-representative sample (members of pugs I have been in), it seems like players below r3 are winning quite a bit more.

If Anet's goal was to spark interest in HA and attract new players for this weekend, I'd say that they're succeeding. It remains to be seen how many of them stay.

Liking it more than 8v8 HA.

I liked the 6x6 scale of battles...

I mean, I LOVED all the separate PVE_PVP arenas on drokanars, yaks and so on, they were a blast and i got realy sad when they close em all

This 6x6 reminds me of that time, AND as i expected the games are A LOT more interesting. The matches are more balanced and even the crappier games are interesting and fun to play. New balanced builds had come up (at least I and my friends are trying them), and even past the WHOLE LOT of vimway builds i have seen, the game is more interesting then it was in 8x8. I am not 100% sure why, but it is for sure more interesting

I am still to decide if i like more 8x8 or 6x6, but one thing is truth, there are a LOT MORE PEOPLE PLAYING, and this is whithout a doubt a great enhancement since we get more diferent people playing, more challenging battles and more diferent builds to go against. The double fame is for sure the main attraction for those people trying to get /fame r3 emote, but i still have some hopes that they are staying after the event is gone and we are back to the old 8x8.

Latter.

I love it. I hope it stays this way. The battles are much more fast-paced and things go alot faster.

And i hope it does NOT stay this way. 8v8//larger scale//more action//funner.

In my eyes.

How is it more action? I would say these new 6v6 builds are a lot more fun to play with, and faster paced. So yeh.... they are "funner" IMHO, btw, that isn't a word.

Eh, I dont know. It seems the groups are: Vimway, Vimway, Starburst, Smite, Vimway, Balanced, Vimway, Starburst, Smite, Blood, Vimway, Vimway, Vimway, Starburst, Balanced....etc...

Although the 8vs8 was always, blood, smite, blood, blood, smite, starburst, iway, vimway, iway, vimway, blood...etc...

So I guess its not that different. =/

disclaimer: *all in my personal experiece, i dont play HA often*

Overall its been good though. Easier time finding groups. Less rank discrimination. I've gotten 75 fame in a few hours.

someone mentioned that funner isn't a word, they're right, the correction is "more fun"

I don't play HA myself, but my alliance doesn't seem to be complaining. Seems to go well...

i'm loving it! ultimate fame farming ftw! our guild got 3 guys thier r3 in almost a day (and they were about r1 when we started).

plus i love the different builds we're encountering. of course theres an occasional vimway but thats never a problem with the build we were running.

I am enjoying this weekend event, i suspect they are using us all as lab rats for a new form of pvp but what the heck.
i can't say i experianced the problems you seem to be having yesterday i played Hoh for about 3 hours maybe four with a guild of friends and it was all very relaxed and for the first time in a long while they made more than 2 fame in a day.
i enjoyed it because we had some really close battles were it was really a win/lose case if you didn't res one of yoor team mebers fast enough.

as for the fact that we are winning all the time,
there is an simple answer,
the european servers span most of the globe,
just about from spain to new zealand (excluding japan and korea and tawien)
all comes under the supreme rain of europe.
this does mean that "europe" can practcally play 24/7.

No. You just like the double fame >_> donut fiend.
