Thread: Powering down for the new HP, how is it done?

    Powering down for the new HP, how is it done?

    Edit: I mean new arena, not new HP.

    Is it still top 4 for each realm, or is it top 10 in ultimate arena?

    top 4 for each realm

  3. #3
    Top 4?

    That would mean HP would have 12 or 20 statues in it

    i belive the top 4 is meant for 3 realm based servers. Here the top 3 from each realm is picked and 1 of the 4th best ranked. Likely the strongest 4th ranked player.

    It is still 2 from each realm...(5 realm servers) If you inspect a player you see the "old" realm ranking..
    1-2 of the old realm ranking, let say in this case forrest realm, shall strip down to naked main only, then swich places to make "picture" used from HP..
    Dont know precise time picture is used to make HP, but it is sometime after Guild War..
    Rest of the day after the pictures are made, those 2 players from forrest shall not engange against any other players from forrest realm, or they overwrite the picture..
    Any players from others realms are ok to fight..
    Hopes this helps..

    The key point is you have to take the position from a guild mate. It's not like you can power down and loose to somebody in a different realm in UA to become a powered down statue. If you want to see your position in Realm arena and you are in UA just look at your profile.

    i thought one of the points of implementing UA was to make it near impossible to power down for palace and we all misread when dawnseeker was saying something like "we will look into HP and to make it easier" and we thought it will be easier for newbies but now its easier for the stronger players and we dont have to power down at all anymore unless you power down the entire top 15 in UA at the same time and have them all fight against each other...
    examples:
    - i was in HP once in a pre-banish form in a set up i would never do
    - another time i was in a "last hit" form
    - another time we had someone in HP who was ranked 8th in the realm
    - someone who was 2nd in UA wasnt in palace

    those are just a few examples and sinc i am leader of the #1 guild on our server i have been telling the server that we will not power down anymore until the event is fixed. i really mean it that i think its now broken and useless, not only in terms of not being able to set it up anymore for the lower players but the insignificant rewards you get from it are rather insulting than rewarding

    Well you thought wrong.. :-)
    We are doing it on our server... :-)

    And it have actually become easier, because now HP setup is only ****ed up when you fight someone from same realm, so you can still farm/share with everyone else..
    Even though UA consist of top 10 from each realm, it aint nessesary the 2 highest ranked UA players from forrest that will be made forrest statues on.. Your have to inspect the players to see the realm arena rank in top right corner.. That is the "old" arena ranking, those that are used for HP setup..

    It is quite possible for the strongest player on server to have UA rank 1 and realm rank 1, then to power down, drop rank in UA.. then have a guildmate with realm rank 8 to beat him down at UA rank 45, then power up again climb up and claim UA rank 1.. that player that beat him now hold realm rank 1 but are still maybe 45 in UA.. And the strongest player now holds realm rank 8.. (unless he fought someone else from same realm climbing)

    And as i said, if top 1-2 from each realm meet and fight each other in UA, while main only and naked.. then that realm will have 2x naked main only statues when HP is made..

    you lucky your server is that active. its still near impossible for us and not worth the hassle especially considering the rewards with getting a shayd card as the top reward

    HP is beyond my understanding. Totally unbalanced for one. Half of the "champions" are people I can smash into oblivion anytime anywhere, but they are top in their realm...so in the hall. The other half are people that are strong enough to smash everyone on the server and even strong enough to get to finals of CW from time to time. Can't beat their weakest mirrors, even with maximum boost. So, it's either a ridiculous cake walk or an impossible task. Boring.

    and the rewards....like was said above....insulting small. A Calvin card? really?
