I'm counting the seconds until I can get those costumes.
I hope you can dye the red part in the Lich one. That will go wicked with my Necromancer.
Use the Lich hood... get near someone... and when they try to look closely inside the hood...
Switch to the skeleton makeup! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haw!

Never seen such a self-destructive Update before. Seems like Anet dont wanna stick ppl together and give them the capabilities to play together, find new tactics and dynamic strategies together. Instead they're putting a great rift between the players to isolate them far away from tactical and social gameplay. Bye Guildwars, welcome 0815-Free-to-Play MS!ORPG.
Never thought Anet could be that ignorant and dense, as inventor of the best PvP-Systems i've ever seen in a game. Seems they are too blinded in there Sync-Hate, to see what made Gw gorgeous and wonderful.
Maybe they should close the whole Event-PvP now, because CB doesnt feel like Multiplayer anymore.
Anyway other changes are pretty cool, but i cant be rly happy about it, cauze Cb always was the best and the most brilliant thing coming w/ Halloween.

more bad masks.....we liked the pumpkin head, the witches hat and even the wolfman head....but the face paint I am sure there are still a few players out there who would love to have a pumpkin or witches hat--and they could make a different type and still be new......(the things you are seeing in the dat file look a like like the zombie thing---one I barely used and thought was bad when it came out too).
oh well...will still be waiting for the costumes (with my cc handy
)

Nothing will best the first pumpkin hat.

1. Are you dreaming? I wasnt talking about syncin. I just was talkin about teamplay. Well you must be a poor player because u cant even imagine a good random team w/ out syncing, thats just epic fail.
2. On whose say-so?? Why it shouldnt be possible to play serious in Ra and CB?
Your argumentation is just saying ' i never was playing real PvP, but only laming through Ha w/ Lame Builds'.
But now listen Glad and Gamer Title are worth a thousand times more than a Ha-Title. You need soo much more Skillz to be a decent player there than for example in HA.
Ha is 80% like 321-Spike-Dead. yeah, ofc...Very Pro. Srsly, I would call it Brainless. Event'in and Ra'in is perfect Teamplay, and requires highest skills, tactics and intelligent gaming.
It rly shocked me first seeing so much r10+ failing in Ra and Event-Arenas.
Low-Range-Dodge? Wtf? Shield-Set Wtf? Tactics? Wtf? All coming from high ha-ranks.
But rly this is OffTopic and at least i think you are the reason why PvP failed in GW.

It is only destroying the pleasure of playing but not the syncers' mentality.

I am not seeing the reason you can't socialize and team play with every randomized team, or play one of the other 3 formats of pvp that does not randomize teams.
Random teams means teams selected by chance... not bypassing the system by syncing so you can beat random teams...

Alright i guess that is a fair argument that it is more fun to play with a randomized streak team then to get randomized every match, but to say it destroys the team play and social play is a little much... It is defiantly minimized for casual play, but you still have other formats to play with your friends...
But like hero battles, you abuse anet will lose it... I just don't see any other way to solve syncing teams in randomized arenas... If there is any kind of streak involved people are going to want to sync..

The big problem with CB or any random PVP is Anet has never in their PVP design understood the idea of empowering the good players and mitigating the bad players is the key to a good match. This is the basic problem, if noobs can figure into dragging a team down greatly, then obviously that's what will happen. So you have to design compensation mechanisms that make sure the better players on a random team can use knowledge to win whether they have bad teammates or not. Anet never does that, but it's pretty necessary for accessible PVP.

If an advantage is gained, then this advantage goes beyond the advantage of lucking into a good team, which is something all players have a equal chance of. Social interactions do not justify this. Or to express it differently, since I am not sure I was clear: When two teams face each other, the team with the biggest advantage wins. Advantage is gained by factors such as lucking into a good team, the skill level of players, bars that they are running, ... A team that knows each other, also gains advantage from that source. But that source of advantage isn't accessible to people that play together for the first time. Which means if the newly-made group wants to compete with the team on a streak, they need to luck into a better team, they need to be more skilled, they need to run better bars. All that just so that they can make up the difference that is gained because the opposing team members know each other. Re-shuffling after each match removes this source of advantage. The more constants you bring into this (such as pre-set bars), the bigger role the remaining factors (such as skill - or in our case, the lack of it) play . |
This is just some pschoblabla. Of course there are advantages when you play together some times, but isn't this fair? You get rewarded with a minimal amount of 'knowlegde' for the fact that you won your last game and that you put effort in the social aspect with the other players. Sounds fair to me.
When you read these threads and talk with people ingame, I do quite a lot, you notice that nobody cares about not being able to sync, but their whole great CB experience is just totally gone with the random teams each round. People get bored and frustrated, because the only thing they can do is play the game with mostly not so intelligent people. The whole social aspect, chatting and discussion things with other players, is just totally gone.

lol if this many people this upset about "I can't streak with competent people in CB"... can't wait for the explosion of QQ if they do this to RA... although it may may not be the best method to stop syncing... I agree with the decision considering there are entire guilds dedicated to syncing and streaking festival based "PvP"... Nothing says you can't coordinate and socialize with every randomized team you get...
Considering how dead TA was when it was around it can be inferred that people just wanted to get a "good" team to beat out all the "bad" teams that get thrown together...not face other planned "good" teams... yah it makes things harder but it also makes things more fair for people without experience... don't like the incompetent people? there are more competitive formats....just not for CB.... perhaps they should make a team CB.
