The Zoin update for storage is welcome, thanks!
HawkofStorms
Hehe, too late. I already won my HB matches for today's quest. But still, kind of unexpected that they'd do that now. At this point, it was kinda part of HB culture.
Oh well, that doesn't mean people who play HB can't think of something else like... "whoever is the blue team should resign."
Glad they fixed that zoin bug quickly.

Haha, Draikin just beat me to what I was about to ask:
So how long until everybody just meets and does RPS?
The only solution for this is to completely remove emotes from being usable in a PvP map, which will be the inevitable final blow in the player base of HA. Of course, at that point people will start counting the letters in hero names and the one who uses the least wins...

Quick, everyone switch to rock, paper, scissors, and farm the Zquest like there's no tomorrow! Because it's gone tomorrow.
Create PvP toon.
HB Z Quest.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Z reward.
Delete toon.
Repeat.
The timing of this /roll update is blatantly obvious.

I already /roll and turned in my HB quest! 
Glad they fixed to coins though!

tomorrow, rock, paper, scissors will be forbidden. maybe all emotes.
maybe we are not even able to talk anymore. maybe players settle that blue quits...
maybe ANet learns that Hero Battles were just a nice idea that screwed up badly right from the very start.
people would play HB's more it they would love them, without any extra reward or incentive.

Funny how anet start to care about Hero Battle's when an exploit starts but malipilation of the title track is fine?

Yes, I'm assuming /rolling was frequent for the title track, faction, rating points, or whatnot(don't know or care, never been to HB), but now there is a zquest for HB and PvP character creation and deletion coupled with the ability to store coins in storage means they care I guess.

Told you! /roll removed!
Now let's see how good rollers do with the RPS or team colors until ANet removes thoe too...
Hm... what's left?
- RPS doesn't work either.
- "In HB, players always see own team as blue, and enemy as red".
Any other alternatives to remove so players play?

I don't know why it's so bad to let heroes have a shot at charming the Rainbow Phoenix. I can understand with wanting to prevent other players riding on someone else's accomplishment, but why prevent their own heroes?
Z-Coin update was overdue. Same with the Keg of Ale. I just checked, they did not mention that they fixed the bug for Mini Greaseds not displaying.
/roll feature prevention is lol. Just where can you use that emote now? Explorable areas? Seems like RPS is now taking over, big surprise. I guess they'll just do the same thing with that. I was worried about that affecting players that went against Lucky Hochei, but no, that's not related.

that's what I did all TA weekend, minus zoins :P

People can still "/roll".
No cape? Who cares?....
Player that appears North (for North/South maps) or East (for East/West) wins. Easy and they can't remove that no matter what....

Forget Roll and RPS, from now on ...
Red team resigns.
Thats it. Its been decided. Not blue team, red team.
If your on red team and just playing for points, resign.

I agree. Anyone that plays just for points, should resign upon getting red, and complain and report to the guy that is not resigning but beating his team when they get blue, just to be banned for breaching the ladder manipulation rules.
But still there is the problem with those that would really follow that made up 'rule'. And I still think that going around it by making colors subjective (your always blue, enemy always red, when observing random per observer) is better.

RPS, its funny

The only thing that removing /roll will do is making HB even more deserted. Couldn't care less actually...

I never play HB. I just wanted 6 wins for Z mish. I used 3x SF ellys with Firestorm + Breath of Fire, plus one water snarer, all using Aura of restoration and gift of health.
I caned almost everything, but was beaten by two teams - A clever warrior who beat me by running away and capping shrines, and a 2 monk team that outhealed me.
But I easilly beat all thos full ranger teams, they are so lame against SF it is funny. Next time I am going to try invoke lightning spike with my Macro keyboard.
MithranArkanere
Well, I told you I'm bad with sarcasm, XDDDD.
For me it was kind of funny seeing the reactions of those that pretended me to /roll as if it was the correct and honorable thing to do.
