Remove hb from ta plz

Its awful, if i wanted to cap shrines and hold alters id go pve. Surely there is another way to generate interest in hb..I dunno maybe leave the maps in and disable the pve stuff. They apparently thought hb would be a smashing success on par with gvg, its not, dont force those of us who enjoy ta to play it plz. Why cant ta remain pureish 4v4 pvp...

/agree, HB maps in TA/RA is RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing idiotic. In ra I want to kill shit not cap shit.

Don't you Cap on a few maps on RA too? When you say HB that makes me think Hero Battle, which i'm pretty sure thats not what your talking about, unless it's holding builds. I don't see the big deal in capping in TA, it's a good change from the ruthless deathmatches.

Wait, when do you cap in pve?

You cap in PvE in a few missions, all in Nightfall IIRC. Grand court of Sebelkeh, where you sometimes have to cap multiple times if your team sucks (anyways you gotta cap center shrine several times); Dzagonur Bastion, destroy portals and the same in Gate of Madness. Oh and that quest thing to get to Nightfall.

Aurora Glade, sort of. Various Nightfall missions like Grand Court, Sunspears in X quests, etc.

I think they should split it in to 2 arenas really, normal TA, and HvH with 4 humans... Those who want to recall around can play the HvH version, and those who want to play a bad 4v4 format can TA, everyone wins.

instead of bringing Hb into Ta we should bring Ta into Hb,to the slaugther!!!!

Oh that's right

I actually just read the update notes, they did add hero battle maps to TA. Yeah, doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but ill hold judgment until i actually give it a whirl.

/seconded. Dumbest decision ever.

Adding those maps makes no sense whatsoever, especially given the state HB is in now.

To this update I say:

lolwut?

And they included it in RA too. Could someone explain how putting HB Maps that are designed to be commanded by one person in a style of PvP that has no team coordination whatsoever is a good idea ?

Not the one who complains a lot, but I agree completely.

I don't join RA to run around all day capping shrines. If I wanted to, I would AB. RA should be quick, simple matches.

HB maps are retarded to begin with, then to fix that, you add them to other arenas? wtf?

because this way they can get the PvE players more involved in competitive PvP....

I'm guessing they are doing this due to the sucesss of costume brawl, which was the same thing. But really, the only reason people played costume brawl was because they wanted gamer points and liked the fact that the skill bars were uniform.

The actual game type is not fun.

/signed

This is a terrible decision. A.net tries SO HARD to push HBs on everybody that they have atually put them into a different game. Why won't they just get the hint that the product is unpopular and not push it on everybody? I got bored of hero battles after 2 days. Why? Because its full of cookie cutter holding builds and there is little actual fighting.

That's very true. Why the hell do they care so much about it??

Now we'll have teams with dedicated splits running around and breaking people's winning streaks on the HB maps in TA!

Okay, stupid question, what's HB?
Hero battle?

Yeah.

I'm still used to HB standing for Healer's Boon (I've never Hero Battled in my life and don't plan on it), so the topic kinda caught my attention
