As you know , haloween event will come soon , thus it means costume brawl arena will too. This arena is in fact what Codex arena should have been , and it was by far one of the most popular mini games event , because you could use a specific bar , because it was fun to play as a hero , and because the rewards were good, despite the fact that you can sync easily in that arena...
But , we have that arena only 5 days per year , while other mini games event usually stay about 2 weeks ( due to redux events , especially for dragon ball and rollerbeetle , which aren't that appreciated formats , due to the fact that rolerbeetle relies too much on luck ( no super , spit rock spammers , ..) , and that dragon arena is just too weird for many people ( dodge not working always ..).
That's why i suggest just to make that arena stay longer for once ( or just reintroduce it in an other event ) ..
Make Costume brawl arena stay longer

Yes please, Costume Brawl should last all year long, also best PvP format left.

Been suggested many times before, they implemented Codex instead. Obviously ANet doesn't want good things to happen to GW1. Be it 7 heroes or CB.

I only suggest to have it , why not , on each event , or maybe have it stay like 3 weeks , but not only 5 days as usual ...
Elnino
/signed for extending it to more than 5 days. 2 weeks seems reasonable

Costume Brawl is really fun
/signed for sure
You know what would be really cool is if they did make it year round and switched up the builds every two weeks or so.

Makes sense and it's rather easy to implement.
One of the reasons why I never got hooked up by games and the Gamer title is that I couldn't play the games whenever I wanted to.

YES PLEASE. The game is pretty dead now, so why not make Costume Brawl longer, when many people enjoy it.

Sure, I see no reason why not.

I'm all for this, but taking a cue from GW2, I think further longevity can be provided with multiple builds for each class, say 3 per core and 2 per expansion. For example hammer, sword, and axe warriors running around, instead of expecting Anet to update the builds constantly. They can start combining the previous year's builds as a base and then tweak from there. If they are balanced reasonably close to each other people will play all the varieties with it being a random format and all. Plus it's much easier to tweak balance in this limited skill choice setting as needed. Then just add in the other four HB arenas, make the warcry shrine less overpowered, and done.

I'd like to see this too. CB is about the only form of PVP I really enjoy.

The best and most fun random pvp format.
Which is why instead we got awesome hero battles and codex.

Well they obviously mentionned costume brawl in last interview .. seems to be that we will be able to play as WiK heroes. Would be fun to play as the asuran ( was it Gadd ) on ele or necromancer...

Costume brawl is a pretty terrible form of PvP. The only reason people like it so much is that it isn't around long enough for the problems with the format to become really glaring.

I've always enjoyed Costume Brawl. I wouldn't say make it a permanent arena but, at least extend it to 2 weeks and maybe another 2 weeks 6 months after Halloween again? :P

Signed, superior PvP format please stay.

Costume brawl is the worst possible form of pvp. I'd suggest developers to stay more focused on fixing the current formats than caring about costume brawl which is seriously only for 3-5 y/o kids

Maybe they wouldn't implement this, but considering the skills are primary attribute only, I really wished they made team-based arena games like this using only your character's skill set.
These maps/game type are perfect for that. Why not make use of that space which used to be team arena and make this happen?

Anyways, as to the length of CB: I think one of the things which makes CB so great is that it is a festival event. If CB, Snowball, DA, and Rollerbeetle were year-round events, would they really remain so superb? I don't think so.
That said, I would love to see the entire Halloween festivities last longer, and if just CB lasted, say, a week past Halloween... I wouldn't complain.
I think a better suggestion would be to rather have Halloween festivities start the Friday before before Halloween itself (or two Fridays before - it's done so that the closest to a full week is available, so how long the event lasts varies year from year), to have Halloween be the entire second half of October - 2 full weeks. And more than CB, of course.
As to having it in other festivals - I disagree. At least, not as a Costume Brawl, but if it were a "Sealed Build" arena (which imo, Codex should of been), then I'd agree. Remove the costume part of it then I wouldn't mind it returning in other events. But the costume part of Costume Brawl deserves to stay with Halloween.

Also, the simple "who can kill the fastest" idea with no solid defense (only some disruption and debilitation) leads to a certain dullness that isn't too apparant if the format is only briefly available.

- Add event arenas and those will last until next event ( for example , costume brawl would stay until winter , then snowball , etc.. )
