Remember when GW was so much simpler?

Crip shot Rangers, Boon Prots, E-Surge Mesmers, Actually seeing warriors instead of dervishes and sins.


Im talking about Prophecies.



Things will never go back to this hallmark of pvp, but mabey they could just for a little.

A.Net Could we have a Heritage pvp Weekend Event?

Prophecies Only Skills, Classes, etc. for a whole weekend. People that do not own this campaign could have access to the skills just for the weekend.

That means all forms of pvp (with or without GvG) Go back to the original and core. I think this would be a lot of fun

/signed if the skills go back to the way they were too.
I would actually play again. With an OoB Boon Prot and a Gale Warrior probably.
P.S. it wouldn't have to be a weekend event per se. It could be a year event.

I feel like a good old trip down memory lane

This should be in sardelac. Also, as much as I loved the prophecies days (or at least pre-NF), this would be pointless to live in the past. /notsigned.

If it's pointless to live in the past let's just leave kill count, relic runs and capture points in HoH and all these stupid game types the way they are now.

It's been brought up there before, so if this was posted in or moved to Sardelac, I'd probably have to dig up the old one and lock this one. We should probably leave it alone.

Past is something to be recorded and left.

I'm kinda fond of change actually, but it doesn't bother me either way.

Ghost of Christmas Past kind of event, maybe?...

As long as people not interested in this heritage weekend can PvP as they normally do, I won't complain. So make a new batch of outposts for the heritage PvP.

Not the whole game, but perhaps an arena for itself.

If you notice everyone is hyped about using exploits from early on so they can cake walk through pvp. I remember PvP from the beginning and didnt care for it it was very unbalanced. I am not angry about your post, I just dont agree with it. I am allowed to disagree.

OoB Boons and Gale wars would get me interested in this game again.

Sorry but you're crazy if you think sins, rits, paragons and dervs weren't imbalanced. A lot of stuff is still balanced pretty poorly to this day. Things like spirits stacking and the exhaustion bug aside, at least back in 2005 the pvp in this game was actually about skill.

I dont see the point in bringing back old imbalances. fix the current ones.

An idea!
How about using the AT system to make tournaments with different play formats - for example different sets of skills available, like Prophecies+Core skills/professions only.
This wouldnt even be a really new thing to GW as we already had the official Wintersday season finals done in a Nightfall+Core skills only format.

Yes great idea. Although we would be sacraficing variety for balance I think most players/ guilds that gain their rank from skill (Balance builds) not FOTM (Imba crap) would play in this format. Anet give us Prophecies+Core only GvG/HA option. Others can use the cureent system if they dont like it. The pvp community will have Imba vs. Imba and Balance vs. Balance.

going back will be good, as long as it's not too far at the past(i mean spirit spam, chain lightning spike(although it was awesome)), but goin back to old rspike days with double orders and no delay after savage shot oh those sweet days

lets face it, factions+nf maybe are a fresh "begining" if you can call it that way, but the old only-prophecies days are the best, and nothing can replace them.

it'll be even better if they'll restore the old tombs outpost instead of that useless pve area.

so /signed for this idea, hope it will really affect

I just love to get all nostalgic just for the weekend.

Would not be permanent and not be global so there could not possibly be any harm in this.

Great Idea

But I'm not doing it for cripshot, hate rangers.
