I have an idea that I beleive is worth considering. I suggest that a 1v1 scrimmage option is set to Hero Battles, (ie, one where you choose your opponent). I have told many of my friends about this, and they think it's a fantastic idea because it gives you a change to play with your friends and test new builds, something which may exite the metagame which is getting all too samey in current times.

I know from other players that a major turn off to Hero Battles is that you cannot play your friends, but if this was made possible, I think it would attract many more people to the arena, if it's possible to challenge another guild to a GvG, then why not another player in Hero Battles. Sure, you could always build test in the guild hall, however this does not allow you to try out your build in a realistic environment, one with shrine capping and tactics. 4v4 in the guild hall simply becomes a literall 4v4 frenzy with the build that does the most damage coming out on top.

So a-net, I propose that you consider adding this update to hero battles to greatly increase interest in pvp, and to spend more quality time fighting against your friends and the community.

Awesome idea, and realistic too!
I hope that Anet would seriously consider this!

Nothing more to add, imo.

Will dramatically change the meta, people will run more experimental builds. Nothing more to add. Really hope Anet will implement this.

Yes this is indeed an awesome idea =) An option to play an unrated hero battle against someone you choose is just logical and essential in my opinion. Therefor, /signed

I did something similar to this with a friend yesterday. We both joined unrated at the same time, and there was about a 75% chance of us being partnered together. A 100% chance would be nice though.

Most definitely /signed.
I got some guildies starting to get interested in HB, and I'd very much like to be able to scrimmage them whenever they want, 'cause atm the rating differences among us make it very hard to try syncing unrated's.

/signed. Would enjoy getting into HB with a guildie/friend as opposed to random experimentation in the actual battle.

You could also have it be a money sink by having an HB merchant at your guildhall.

You could also EASILY set it up so that people could bet on outcome...

Set up a HB scrimmage... for what value? [ ]
Choose 1000 (or any value between 100-50Plat)

The merchant sends you to HB with the join battle timer started and you automatically fight the guy that you matched with in your guildhall...

Person that chooses to play you has to put up 1000... winner takes all (minus 10% - that goes to the merchant).

The only problem I can think of about being able to choose your opponent is giving free kills for faction. So if they do think about implementing this, faction reward would have to be turned off if you're fighting your opponent of choice. Other than that,

/signed for HB as well as TA. Both versions should be unrated, and possibly the removal or nerfing of faction rewards will be needed.

/signed, as long as it's just for the Unranked Scrimmages, which I assume it is

Although, I have never experienced this problem (if me and a friend want to HB scrimmage, we just say "ok, pressing Enter in 3..2..1" and since no one really plays unranked ever, we've always gotten in together).

I'm actually glad someone ressed a thread for once, let's hope anet take a look at this. With all the problems in HB, this is really the least they could do.

I actually had problem with this today. Trying to play my 1337 apprentice but took forever, never was able to because of rating problems. this could be very fun, and it would allow to test new things without playing n/a in unrated or getting rolled by current meta in rated.

Useful for testing your HB builds on your friends and guildies.

There's a post that asks for increased options in Guild Hall scrimmages.

I think this is included in it too.

People should be able to choose the game mode, areas and rules in scrimmages.
