Make it so you can skip Underworld in HA

Because in dead hour HA, you have ppl waiting in the zaishen waiting to go in, and people waiting in HoH for their next match, which means its absolutely impossible to ever play a game in dead hour. If people were able to skip from zaishen to HoH, you would be able to actually play in HA in dead hour, which would make HA less dead and you will actually be able to play it.

I've considered the same suggestion myself, but couldn't people just form an uber-defensive build hoping to skip to HA, and then get and hold it for a long time?

you could just buildwars that build if they are playing in dead hour and boot them out of halls.

Wait, boot them out of the halls if they play in dead hours? I hope that means if they have been playing for a while. If I play I will be playing in dead hours because I am from another continent! :S

Dead hour HA teams are syncing teams in for the free fame now. I'm not sure whether this change would make life easier for them or actual players.

I've already though of this but , i think it would lead to more problems than good things :
- Won't change anything if there is NOONE playing like these days on euro mornings
- Easy buildwars , thus easy to hold halls on dead hours this way with epic defense( just pray so it's not 1v1 koth on your first fight....)
- People can easily sync : either easy halls , either easy full runs
- It won't help to team faster , nor change hall map

It would make people have a fight yes, but only holding team would benefit from it 95% of time and , considering most of 1v1 fights are free fame for holding team, they could easily get a lot of consec ....
so basically , /notsigned

for people who are saying syncing would be a problem, they will be on obs so it will be reportable, and making HA not have unplayable hours> a chance for fame syncing that could be reportable due to them being on obs.

They're already on obs. Good luck getting Anet to ban any of them.

then what's the problem? the syncers who would sync are already syncing, regardless of how hard it is. I don't think there would be an increase in syncing because the people who would are already are. And it might actually make the syncing problem better because of the more guilds playing since you would actually be able to play.

That won't change anything on unplayable hours , except if they allow henchs teams , which would make more teams play...

Assuming it's 8am GMT , there are 7 players in id1 noone in halls , there will still be nothing to do ( I actually logged every day at those hours and there was never any player )

Wouldn't more people play it because you will actually be able to get out of zaishen, thus making it playable,?

There are times at dead hour that we are holding that one or two people will dual box just to get another team in. Not so much for "free fame" so much as not sitting through another 13 min restart.
