After playing WvW for the first time, a guild-mate suggested that it might be possible to have a castle defense style map for sPvP and tPvP.
Create two paths into a castle with 3 conquest style points along the way. Put a 5 minute timeline on it and switch sides. Might be fun.
If you played sPvP, you might have noticed that such a map already exists and has been there since launch, it’s called Legacy of the Foefire. It has everything you mentioned, a castle at each side with two paths inside which players must defend but also 3 other points for capture elsewhere in the map.
