At Noon PDT Friday, Heroes' Ascent will permanently change to an 8v8 battleground. In celebration, you will receive double fame and double faction through 11:59 PDT on Sunday, April 1.

What do you think? I think that answered some of the double fame/double faction requests.

Months and months to late, way to much damage has been done. Notice how they have to make it a double fame weekend again? I bet they are passing around cigars at Anet headquarters right now when it should be pink slips.

I would be a lot happier if they changed HA back

Don't like the kill count crap, feels like some mini-game.
But who cares HA is a mini-game now anyways

8V8 is good news. But yeah, double fame, even though its good for the people who are looking for bambi, it makes other emote's lose their value. Id rather not see a bunch of phoenix's running around.

B-Spike, Iway ftw? lol. I feel a skill update coming soon with the new 8v8 changes.

Unless this change comes with either a removal of kill count maps, or a change in the halls format, or a nerfing of fire eles/sins....I won't be jumping for joy so soon -___-

QFT. The 8v8 week was utter chaos. Until they remove the new objectives from HoH [keep king of the hill plx], it'll continue to be chaos.

Great.. I like when they change this over and over. Great job Anet.. really good job. And beside that.. 8v8 is crap, and all those stupid spike teams should just burn in hell.

I really hope I will finally leave this game thanks to this.

Dear ANet,

My guild is rather "small" and on typical evening its hard to get more than 4 ppl online. If HA is going to be 8v8 since now we would like to have increased option to add 4 heroes (just like in 6v6 now we have option to add 2 of them).

Get the rest from your friendlist/Alliance, if you can't do that, pug.

1. friendlist: my personal one is going to be shorter and shorter everyday, as older players resigned and not play GW anymore... also they prefer to play more PvE than PvP.

2. alliance: we are not allied - once we were, but this wasnt good experience for our guild.

3. pug: Have u ever created pug in HA? I have, but also never heard of pug team who can play a few hours without (rage)quitters, have you?

...and lastly from me - if we are able to play GvG with four NPCs, why we shouldnt be able to play 8v8 version of HA in the same way?

I certainly won't be anywhere near HA during the double fame weekend... I remember how well the first one turned out. Maybe in a few weeks/months metagame will settle into something sensible.

Also, I hope kill count and relics in halls are gone...

I don't understand why people keep comparing GvG to HA. They have so little in common. Same party size, uh... yeah.

I think that was said to me.

If not, then nvm

If you read again my post you should see that I didnt type anything about strategy - and I do agree: GvG / HA are so different in this matter. I wrote only about "give smaller guilds similar possiblity to play/start playing these both types of PvP".

Tee hee, my f-list group beat vigors invoke spike on broken the other day. score was 7* 7 3 us..somehow saved a spike in the last 3 seconds, gg.

What does this mean? Sb/RI ftw. And it only gets more annoying in 8v8.

Anyways, double fame ftl, if only because I won't be on. <.<

@Rafal , so your guild is one of those guilds that run the hero necros are you not....

So yeah sure , add the option for 4 heroes in HA that way we can get that hero shit in HA too.

8v8 or 6v6 i don't really care, both can be really fun.
But the double fame again... I really hoped they would never do that again, I sooo much hate this idea.
During last double fame event I did 1100+ fame but I didn't like it, having 100++ fame runs so much hurts the Hero title, this event makes months of play for fame doable in 3 days.
Double fame event isn't simply x2 gain, it's more like x10 because HA will be again full of really bad teams = free fame and full runs. Yay for lots of meaningless tigers! Bleh.

yay hopefully ill be able to get r3. Had more xp with 6v6 but i have done 8v8 a bit.

more excited about double fame than the one again(for like the 3rd time) party size change. Its getting annoying hearing about all of the times they change it back and forth. Watch now theres gonna be special 6v6 weekends

Ironic. Remember back when ArenaNet was so adamant about "we will never switch to 8v8. We are confident with 6v6."?

I might, believe it or not, play this weekend, just to see how the metagame is now. Contact me in-game if you need a Necromancer.

You win the thread, 8v8= Battle of the Infusers. This is what is going to be ridonkulous about the whole thing, spike teams once again thriving like nuts, but they nerf every spike that is somewhatnear powerful. This won't call in for "balanced" builds but more "gimmick" what is Anet's ACTUAL direction with HA? So everyone gets a kitty?
