Friday the 13th....oooooo....
Hero Battles Bring Double Rewards

They must be really wanting to push the hero battle system if they are doing double faction again. Zzz.

I kinda saw (imo) a lame weekend coming after that massive update. Here's holding thumbs to Hard Mode next weekend. It would have been cool if they could make it Double Victory points per win as well 
/sigh

Maybe Anet will tinker with the skills some more, so then this weekend during the Hero Battles, we can keep testing them. That would be a good addition to the weekend. SR update again please?

A double factions weekend won't improve the fact that Hero Battle sucks ass.
Sorry.Nice try though.

I agree with Theus. No matter how hard they try, they will need to totally revamp the way it's played before I even think of setting my foot in there again.

70k max and 70k faction currently. At least add double points because the weekends benefits do absolutely nothing for me. :-(

So should this thread be almost a poll...Should Hero battles be totally re-made?
The Ernada
They definately need to fix HB instead of trying to entice people to play with gimmicks. Plenty of suggestions and feedback in the HB forum for you Anet.

LoL, there's not even double Commander points.
I'm not setting foot in there again after I tried it after the last update.

Hero battles are the PvE crowd's version of Heroes Ascent. Adding a chest that gives random purple/gold stuff or even special hero armor (that can only be found through hero battles) to the victor might make it worth people's while. for people with uax, double faction is pointless.
mafia cyborg
make a shrineless version of hero battles pls!!!!
something like TA but with heroes.
(ideas on how to do this in the other thread)

zzzzzz.....they had double fame in HA, why not double commander points here?I really dont like hero battles anyways lol

I think its funny how hard they are pushing this. Real life money, an attempt to make a ladder people care about, doubling the rewards... but it still sucks ass and everyone knows it.
I just wish they had tried to push game balance this hard back before everyone left.

HB were more fun when it was just the central shrine, even though most the time rits holding builds would dominate. I get the 'command' aspect of sending heros to shrines but its just dull.
Guess people will vote with their feet this weekend and just stay away

Woot, another weekend event i couldn't give a toss about that can screw up the game again. Or maybe they'll actually pull it off without breaking something this time...?
Unless they give Hero Battles DP, i won't ever play them again.

I remember a past event when they didn't announced double Gladiator points, but added it anyway. The only could make me play more HB this weekend is double Commander points (and 1 commander point in unrated matches maybe?)
I don't need B.faction anymore, the only I don't have unlocked are a few random elites, I think I will be full unlocked in some days.
I hope they add very soon something to do with B.faction.; The game has 2 years, more than enough for thousands of people with 100% unlocked.

I'm certain anyone that actually cares about the format (and apparently not a lot of people do) would be happy to trade this double reward weekend for a few updates to the AI because there are a ton of problems that need to be fixed.

Forget the stupid weekend, Anet needs to concentrate on a lot more problems in the game, instead of some really boring weekend event, that doesnt even have double commander points.
tayos
UAX here, so I really couldn't care less about extra Balth faction on the weekend until they add the tournament token system. Its a fun mode though, so I might goof around in it with increased player attendances.
MagicWarrior
I have ZERO interest in this one... but all these weekend events are great.

I wonder if I can already access the Hero Battles outpost. Back when I might have been interested to try a match or two, I couldn't get there without first creating a PvP character. And I wasn't going to delete a PvE for that.

Heroes battle? Bah! more like a capture battle, run away, cap, run away, cap, fight a bit, cap, oh look 20 points, I win. Bah!
