Changes to Heroes' Ascent 3 October 2006
In lieu of the previously announced special weekend, we've decided to postpone the "Green Drop Weekend" until next week. This week's big news is the conversation of Heroes' Ascent into a 6v6 map. Yes, one of the most popular events will become a permanent element of the PvP game, along with a lot of exciting map changes, too. This will all go live sometime Friday, so stop on by and check it out. Check back next week for news about the "Green Drop Weekend" (which now promises to be even better)!

Me and my friend enjoyed wracking up fame that weekend. We change builds often though..... Henchway we reserve for 8v8 though.

They are finally getting around to doing what we have all known they would since that 6man HA weekend about a month back.

This a bad move from anet. all we gona see is vim/smite and thumpers!!!!!
i agree on new maps but the builds gona be the same with 6v6
8v8 give more chance of different builds...
The only reason is was populour at the weekend is that u get double fame

So i may stop playing ha due to bordom

I agree with stav lad. In my mind, it's clear that this is the last on the line ways to kill certain builds. The 6 man weekend was fun, but it was also extremely frustrating. All you saw were vimway and smite groups....

Anet, the reason the 6 man weekend was popular is because there was double fame.

A better option would be to open another completely different area similar to HA with the HoH battles, but also leaving 8 man to people who want to play that way....

completely agree with Naomi, why remove the 8v8? why not let people choose what they wanna play?

I think this is a positive change from A-Net. The HA aspect of PvP has always been the same and I think this will help people think of new strategies and kind of make it fresh again. I'm excited

Because eventually the community gets so divided that there's a whole lot of areas with almost nobody playing them instead of a few areas with lots of people.

I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about 6v6 potentially being ruled by smite/VIMway/some other gimmick. How is that different from the way HA is now?

ANet is letting people "choose what they wanna play." What 6v6 arena currently exists? GvG is also 8v8, so if you wish to play 8v8, you can GvG. HA needed some kind of shakeup... badly. I don't know if this is the right one, but something had to be done.

I am kind of excited to what changes they have in store for us in HA! This could be really good or really bad so just have faith!

we only saw a couple of builds because it was only for a single weekend. give it time and there will be more 6-man builds out there.

Personally I am neutral about this change tho.
