Argh, it was one of the few things I enjoyed doing in my spare time. It was a very unique format of PvP and was quite challenging. I'm suggesting to bring it back in an unrated and unsupported form. I really don't care if it remains how it was, I just want it back.
I understand it had many issues, and that it didn't appeal to many players. But I still feel that quite a few players enjoyed the format before it became RR day money frenzy. I still don't understand the reason to remove it in the first place rather than just strip it of its zquest (or tone it down), as many aspects of the game have been neglected for long periods of time and aren't totally removed from the game. Anyways just wanting to see how many people felt the same, I know it wasn't really popular here but can't think of any better ways to show support for it.
Please Bring back Hero Battles

it was total shit since the beginning, everything about it was broken and flawed, it was the same garbage vs the same garbage, and five billion other reasons you can read in every other thread.
if they brought it back as no reward - no ladder - no nothing absolutely nothing, nobody would play it. it'd be dead guaranteed. there's like 3 of you in all of guild wars that actually enjoyed that trash, the rest just were in it to reap the benefits. the ridiculously easy, griefing, exploitable benefits.

Thats funny, I believe there was regular competition between the first 1-1000 and also alot more, maybe count up to the 5000th rank.
So you're telling me 3 people have between them 5000 accounts?
Or your statistics are overly exhagerated and wrong.

While his statistics may be slightly exagerated, they are not far from what is true, few people enjoyed HB and took it seriously.
And many top HB'ers have multiple accounts. Just as [rawr] have multiple guilds.
And yes I agree with Chocobo, I wouldn't play HB, but some people still might. If it were to remain it would have no title and no zquest.
But now it's gone and HB outpost = Codex outpost, I don't see much point as they would need to revamp another outpost and redo the coding, not worth the effort for the crap that was HB.

Awww T_T I don't understand why everyone thought it was so crap. I never got to the real top of HB so I guess I missed out on the huge shadow step abuse. To me HB was fighting a Sin or Monk copied from wiki and outplaying him. I enjoyed it <_<;

i didn't play much of it, but i thoguht it was unique. the only thing they'd need to fix is the unrated system (no way for new players to start). if people think HB is bad they'd need to RA which is just a free for all where your success is in the hands of random people

I liked HB because it was the only place in GW PvP where if you have failed it was only your own fault.

ahh must say i enjoyed it and would like to see it back but i cant see that happening unfortunately. ahh well, was good fun while it lasted.

Seeing the lack of popularity of CA, I don't see a problem with bringing back HB in a form that's closer to RA. What I mean by that is remove the ATs or ladder, and reward Victory points only on a number of consecutive wins. This would deal with a number of problems, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the format become more popular than CA in this way.

i say bring back the ladder in the official site, if you noticed a player that was in the ladder at the day hb was removed and for instance that day he made 2months of not playing hb, 1 month later he got deleted from the ladder for not playing for 3 months. I have one thing to say: NICE F****** JOKE ANET

I agree, Codex arena was a great idea, but there was really no good reason to remove TA and HB. It's a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing game, people that like TA should still be able to play TA regardless of how unbalanced it is, and the same goes for HB. All you are doing by removing it is making the game slightly less diverse and slightly less fun. Screw titles, if ppl want to title farm, good for them, I've got better things to do than sit in HB all day Red resigning just to get a fricken title, and personally would much rather prefer to actual play HB than worry about a title.

If anything should come back, its TA.

I want either HB or just a form of 1v1 combat.
"Sealed Deck" as it is so called, isn't even true to it's name. Is a team setup where almost everyone wanted random. And now glad points are even more harder to get due to TA loss.

Hero Battles were never fun, people used the hero build on pvxwiki, and it got really boring.

TA and HB aren't coming back, and they have no reason to come back.

I say bring back TA, offer doubled rewards as that of RA, ASSASSINATE ALL GIMMICK BARS TO HELL for TA ONLY [i.e. Shovespike, RtL, etc..] and let the fun ensue!
I don't personally see why Anet can't just tailor/nerf skills for specific arenas exclusively tbh..

Hero Battle was a potentially decent concept that was absymally executed because it epic failed in actually being hero battles.
What the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO does cap n' squat have to do with PvP? Even AB requires you to spec for offense. A hero version of TA would have been more interesting.

^Post above me is a good idea, although I really don't care if they put it back the way it used to be, as long as I get it back.
First off to all the people saying "ITS NEVER GUNNA HAPPEN QQQQQQ", I'm well aware of the amazingly slim chances of this actually getting it back. That said, that probably applies to 99% of the suggestions in Sardelac anyway. But the point of Sardelac is to offer a suggestion on what you would like to see implemented in the game, and so I am doing so.
Secondly, actual HB did have its fair share of problems, and if it was put it back in it would be a great bonus to have Crossing taken out of the map rotation, although I'm fairly sure this was suggested for many years without Anet bothering to do it. Either way, HB had it's flaws but so does most of the game anyway. If you didn't like HB thats fine, I'm aware the majority didn't like it. But I do believe there are quite a few people who did enjoy HB, bugs and all.

It was soooo degenerate... I enjoyed it when I first played but seeing the same thing over and over and over just drove me insane. And talk about AI influence on PvP... 6/8 AI players is just too abusable in so many ways...

Hero battles was flawed because it used heroes. It wasn't a small handful of skils "ruining the format", it's that whatever high-level match wasn't determined by build wars, was instead determined by whether your hero tripped for a few seconds at some point, and you fall forever behind the capwars. Well, all the matches that weren't fixed/resigned that is, including the past several mAT finals.
Also HB *was* basically TA when only the center shrine counted for morale. 90% of people played spirit spam and the remaining 10% tried to fight it with fire overload.

No way HB is coming back...
I recall A-net monitoring the amount of games played. I can't remember the source, though, but they said that there was only an influx on RR days. Go figure.
I can sympathize with losing something you enjoy, I've never played HB, but from what I see, it's best if it stays gone.
Perhaps you can learn to love another format?

Cool, another one of these threads. This has been suggested before, pretty much all over the forum.
No need for another thread.
