ehhh, you probably fail at HB so stop shitting on it.
How would ab rival gvg, its full of pvers farming for outposts. It's popular in the sense that you and the rest of the 90% of guildwars is pvers. It's pretty much got a tournament implementation of which ever alliance has the most faction control an outpost. If anything they shoulda removed that instead of ta and hb, if they wanted to make pvp better. o yea, dont critisize the format without have playing it. |

don't believe me? let's imagine HB without tournament support shall we? close your eyes and imagine. what do you see? i see an empty outpost.

so... Moriz, so what rewards do you get from playing GW? you have to understand that people are playing game for fun. tournament support? that is a option for hb players who likes to play. Now they want to remove hb, not tournament from hb.

The reason people WANT HB to be deleted is because they see it as the only way to get the 4v4 sealed deck created.
Because, you know, they obviously can't enlarge the map.

Anet may have had coding issues while removing heroes from Tombs and GvG (I'm not really sure if this is possible, as I know nothing about code, it's just a theory). If the code says that everything in X area=PvP, and they do not have specifications for HA, GvG, HB, etc, then they may have had issues keeping them in HB (which, for the purpose of this theory=PvP), as well as removing them from GvG and Tombs (which is also tagged as PvP). The only arguement I can think of against this (if this is a possible problem) is that TA has never allowed heroes, but that never allowed NPCs in the first place, HA, GvG, and HB may have an NPC value of 1, which TA has an NPC value of 0, and Anet does not have a specification for Heroes and Henchmen.
If someone who knows more about this field can confirm or deny, I, and probably some others, would be incredibly happy. Especially me, since I am almost never right about this kind of stuff.

and i'd think the community at large generally agrees with me. HB, despite with tournament support and tangible prizes, remains a very sparsely populated outpost. if i have to delete a pvp form for whatever reason, HB would be the first on my list. it is, after all, the least popular arena.
personally, Anet is removing HB not because they don't like it. i suspect the real reason is that they are also trying to get rid of heroes in pvp, and having a pvp arena that's based on heroes would result in some rather messy coding. given how poor Anet's QA is, i can't really blame them for reducing as many variables as possible.
EDIT: IrishX is likely right. Anet want to take the quick and easy way out by flagging all pvp arenas as no heroes, and HB would need to be an exception to the rule. that could potentially lead to some seriously broken shit down the line.

yep, people play for fun. personally, i see absolutely nothing fun about HB. it ultimately broils down to who can abuse the retarded AI the best. at least with AB, i'm still playing with and against other people.

if you truly feel this way, then convincing me is not going to do anything. you can try your luck and convince ANet.
like i said above, part of the reason for HB removal is likely technical. but still, if given limited resources, and having to remove an arena to better manage those resources (Anet's words, not mine), i'd cut HB every single time.

HB would be completely empty if not for its tournament support. AB is generally considered a low level pvp form because it is not particularly competitive. however, add in tournament support with in game prizes, and its overall level of play will shoot up literally overnight.

Now what do I see when I close my eyes and think of an AB tourney............OW OW OUCH MY EYES ARE BLEEDING!!!!

I agree that Anet trying to get rid of heroes in pvp, but what hb players are trying to say is that it's too late for remove it (if they wanted to remove it then hb shouldn't be exsist at the first place but sorry its been over 2 years already) GW2 is comming soon and for the most hb players, hb is only reason that they're playing for this game. so is it ok to get rid of hb with people who playing hb? since this is the least popular arena? I can see on your reply that you don't like hb at all and many people are exciting about to see the new fromat of pvp. hb and ta players would been excited as much as you guys do if they didn't say anything about remove them. what would you do if they're trying to get rid of something that you been playing for 2 years? say yay? I hope you guys understand this, why? beucase we need more support from you guys to save hb and ta.

Without tournament support, without ladder, without obby. I see....Greater variety of builds. No dual melders (That is designed for winning matches whilst boring the crap out of yourself) More players in the format due to less lame (Since no rating gain/loss you can show more bravery and not run prison builds.) No need to try and build wars other guy in tourney. Noway to send messages to anet via account names and leaving mAT final.

ok as long as you continue to suggest stupid things like an AB tournament, I'll try my best.
Question: Would you be instantly able to enter this AB tourney or would the counter have to count down from 30 to 0 and then repeat that cycle 15 times before you enter it? Just curious...

I'd still rather see them remove tournaments, then see it turn to a ghost town, then remove HB. Much less QQing that way. You can argue that HB is fun and that's in the eye of the beholder, but you can't argue that it's truly competitive, as all of the high-level HBers will disagree.

you're really strengthening the whole self deluded argument for me dude

fact: tournament support is the only thing keeping HB alive. remove it, and it dies. the format cannot survive on its own.
fact: AB is alive and well (despite having atrociously poor level of play). it does not require tournament support to stay alive. indeed, it is popular enough to have tournament support, if anet is ever inclined to add it properly.
when your favorite arena cannot even compete with AB in terms of popularity, it might be time to get out of it. of course, you can continue to delude yourself.

an AB tournament would be no less stupid than a HB tournament. it would likely be better, since the format is (surprisingly enough) better conceived and executed.

LOL these haters never seem to stop amazing me at the stupid comments they say. AB is better executed than HB? I am sorry but if AB was actually competitve and it came down to very small details that decide the best of matches, many many flaws will be found in ab. It will consist of MMs Monks Solo capping eles and cripshot rangers. And the best part about the AB NPCs are just as stupid as Heros except you can't even micro the AB NPCs. I LOL everytime i see Kurzik Rit with 5 spirit stacked right on top of each other. And Healing Burst Monks LOL. Dude STOP TROLLING.

would AB still be the shithole of player quality, if it was given proper tournament support? obviously no. player quality will rise as skilled players pour in, lured in by prizes. other good players will join later on, because there are now good competition to play against.
would HB still be competitive, if tournament support is taken away (or was never given)? obviously no. very few people would find it fun to micro around retarded AI. skilled players will leave, and other players will leave from lack of competition. it will end up like AB is now, except with 1/10th the playerbase.

I think TA would have been better suited to monthlies and a ladder than HBs. Not to say it would have turned out better, i mean it would probably have ended up as hb/ta did, and that's largely neglected.

It is popular enough at that time to have ~50 consecutive match wins without any no opposing party.

And you're saying that if you add this competitive aspect to a different competitive Format, that will become more competitive.
You sir are a genius!....Sure wish I had this gift of foresight....
moriz
then let's imagine if anet DIDN'T and AT to HB. heck, let's assume anet didn't even add the ladder initially. where would it be now? i'd say completely dead. people will play a new format when it comes out purely for the novelty of it. frankly, i doubt HB is the kind of arena that will actually keep players there.

I still find it funny that people are defending HB. The BEST defense you can possibly have for the format is "it is a mostly dead format that people only go to farm and it would be good IF they completely removed a map and a class from the game and if AI was smarter". Sounds like a great defense.
If Anet is removing HB for shits and giggles, I agree it makes no sense. But as it stands now they have admitted that they can no longer fix the format and are using its removal for a new and hopefully improved format.
Of course...I am a person who would remove all of PvE if it meant more focus on PvP, so I'm sure my post will be taken with a grain.

I do not have the gift of Foresight but neither do you. But what I do have is experience and the same things happen with every format. If AB were overrun with skilled players all the current players would get frustrated at constantly losing and move on to JQ/FA because if they actually were any good at pvp they'd be doing another format. Ab will also be run over by meta builds, just like every other format. Now can I ask you why dont PvE'rs TA? HA? HB? GVG? because getting frustrated with losing and meta builds that don't allow them to be creative drive them away. Why wouldn't the same happen to AB? And you would have no idea what would happen if tournament support was removed from HB. I know many players who don't even do tournaments. I for one only do tournaments when one comes up when I am playing. Noone schedules their day around when tournaments are, they just play their ussual times and if a tourny is at that time they play it but if its not they just HB. People HB because it is a place to play so competitive pvp without relying on stupid teammates or spending an hour making a group. Not for the rewards.
