Labor Day HA Event
For the Labor Day weekend, Arena.net is giving PvP players a special event. Starting on Friday September 1st at noon Pacific time and ending on Tuesday September 5th at noon Pacific time, the party size in Hero’s Ascent will be reduced from 8 players to 6, and players can earn double fame.
This comes as welcome news. When 8 guildmates are online, the preference is to GvG. This change provides a nice option between team arena (4v4) and GvG (8v8). It will be interesting to see how the metagame changes in HA with the change. I’m thinking about running 4 SB/RI with 2 monks. It won’t win halls, but it should gain some fame.
On a side note, I switched guilds from Legion of Valhalla to Dark Wing Cadre to increase GvG activity. After Karl and Miriel left LoV, GvG just went down the tubes. Miriel left for Peace Machine (Sling is over there now), and Karl left for IRL. DWC GvG’s like mad. Usually averaging 5 matches in a night.
Valor from IQ guested with DWC last night. It was good to start making some contacts in high rated guilds.
