Its been 4 years and I’m quite curious. Is this still on the table. And I don’t mean the dev default answer “Nothing’s ever completely off the table”.

The portal is still there in rata sum, mocking my GW1 polymock skills every day for the past 4 years.

They wouldn’t even have to animate the polymock pieces, as they can just use the mini’s we have now.
Of course we can’t use the quality system from GW1 for mini’s but maybe have a mini-level. Acountbound. All mini’s are lv1, and after winning 10 battles they turn lv2, 25 to lv3, and 50 to lv4. To represent the 4 qualities they had in GW1.
But maybe you should unlock them as miniature so you can’t just haphazourdly use your 4 years collection of minis. To make a polymock piece take a miniature token with 3 expensive items to the forge, or polymock smith in RS (or something like that)

And then you enter the arena with 3 miniatures. You can queue random against people who have the same level sum of miniatures (which is 3 to 12 in any distribution) or against guildies in the guild hall.
Maybe tie some collections and achievements to it.

There’s no way we can find out its true status. If they are working on it, they won’t comment until it’s nearly ready to ‘ship’. If they aren’t actively working on it, but it’s on their list for Activities (since they are experimenting with adding some, apparently), they won’t comment. And it’s unlikely that any dev could say with certainty that it will never happen.

Since, however & as you say, we haven’t heard a word about it in the four years since launch, I’m assuming it will never happen. If it doesn’t, this counts as evidence that I’m a great fortune teller; if it does, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I’d love to see this come back, they could even add them as drops from the end of dungeons as they did in Eye of the North.(give people a reason to run them) I’d also like to see the Norn fighting tournament return too, I know if you play a Norn you can take part in one. But id like to see one return to the game as it was in GW1.

Ive been after this and reminding Anet consistently on this topic since day one..

Do you think Anet has shown until today ever even a single sign about it, that they care about it that this part that should have been originally been part of the main game together with Bar Brawls and many other Minigames for the Towns like Target Shooting or a kind of Gladiator Battle for the Charr Hometown – isn#t still there until today – 5 years later.

That poor little NPC Asura in Rata Sum is now working already lonely for 5 years on the Portal to the Polymock Arena and we set for 5 years no progression on this work!!!

Personalyl Ive already lost my hope on it that Anet will ever implement the features they announced that should originally be part of the main game on release day.

They have even gone so ridiculously far with it, that there was once the time they implemented half heartedly Bar Brawls (just the achievements), just to remove them a few patches later again without letting us hear about this anything at all then anymore until today, like as if they had no clue how to implement bar brawls, had made some achievements and when they realized, the stuff they worked on won’t functionize, they basically scrapped the whole thing and put it forever on ice, thats like kind of the impression you got there as a player from the way, how they handled that stuff in the past…

Don’t put your hopes up to get to see ever Polymock, ANet didn’t care for it for the last 5 years, and I don’t see a reason, why they should suddenly care for it in the future… its just part of their discontinued feature list in their cheesehole designs, where they started something, and never ended what they started.

And in fact with Polymock, they didn#t even started, they just hyped it and never started >.> lol

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

I love the polymock idea. After all, this is a PvP mode that ANET could successfully balance.

I enjoy it in GW1.

I think we should boycott all content in the game until they open up the Polymock arena.
Empty borderlands in WvW, no one saving the princess in SAB, we won’t get in the wayof the E-Dragon minions, and we won’t stabalize any fractals, and no more queuing for PvP.

We’ll let the world crumble into the mists without Polymock!!

I guess they don’t want to waste development time on content all of 20 people will ever look at more than once.
