Guild Wars 2

The new edge of the mists map fills the void.

The things I like about it:

• It’s concrete and sustainable game mode, where players provide the fun instead of AI
• It’s permanent addition to the game, not temporary fluff
• Always full of players thanks to the overflow system, giving you the great raid experience not always possible in WvW
• Balanced matches. Not huge swarm vs. handful of players
• Beautiful and varied environment
• Great map design that is asymmetric
• Short matches, meaning you can play one from start to finish and feel like you’ve completed it.
• Innovations! No more fragile dolyaks to protect, monster characters can be keep guardians, objectives that grant buffs, can see enemy players on map…

This is exactly what I personally enjoy seeing in patches. I’ve been often dismissive of Anet’s actions but for once I can say: Well done Arenanet!

I’m glad you like it, was about time WvW ppl got some new toy

For me what’s good about this update is that I only had to spend 3 mins inside of Eotm to get my achievements, so I never have to go back there and hopefully any WvW again.

So thx Anet for making the golem achievement supereasy to attain so that ppl who dislike WvW aren’t forced to spend more time in there then needed. I’m guessing this also pleases WvW ppl since this should prevent half the server being full of ppl who’s only interest is to charge the place where the parts are.

Balanced matches? I got into an OF last night where green owned one thing on the map. A whopping 4% of the map.

Depending on the OF you luck out on, I don’t see how these matches are balanced.

At least, if you fall on an unbalanced overflow, since the matches are only two hours, you can wait for the next and hop on at that time.
These matches are as balanced as players can make them… now, If green’s on that OF are doing nothing and are loosing, thus having players quit and the ones left outnumbered, it’s not EoTM’s fault, but the players.
made the second half of a match yesterday – it was great, two offensive tags, one defensive tag that kind of directed attacking forces, great cooperation, we won the match against mindless zergers.
Second one, one tag, noone listen, enemies in our tier, I left – as many others…

To get in more balanced matches, simply exit and re-enter. I had to do that a few times last night, really not much trouble at all. You will usually get into a different instance doing so, and likely find a better group of people, or if you’re lucky a map with multiple commanders working on objectives.

It’s not bad, but I do wish ANet would do a bit better matching the zerg queues. I saw some large guild zergs. It’d be nice if Anet would dump guild zergs together into the same instance, creating a more balanced gameplay. Because an organized large guild blob often rolls over pugs easily, especially one without a commander leading the charge.

Not sure if you are serious or being a troll. This map is about small groups of players fighting NPCs with some occasional PvP. The AI is the main part of this map.

So true but makes for some pretty good champ farming while lvling your wvw

I’m thinking that this zone will end up like karka cove in a month.

I like this zone more because the people are more spread out and everyone isn’t running in a stacked zerg, they’re fighting spread out and the battles include more back and fourth fighting instead of stack, buff, charge, repeat

totally agree it’s hilarious and fun
