Guild Wars 2

I have been thinking about posting this suggestion for quite a long time now, excuse me if it was said in past allready or not, as i dont have that much time to read forum frequently

First of all i would really love to see a naval combat.
Add new WvW map, mainly filled by ocean with couple of islands and harbors to conquer, but the main battles would stay in water.

You would be required to purchase any type of ship – from small 5-man row boats, to huge, to bigger frigates and galleons with dozens of ballistas and cannons on it.

This kind of map would most likely end up being more like Guilds vs Guilds battles, as you would require to purchase ships and some thorough tactics to lead the fleet, which mind end up being more fun than the usual mess in battlegrounds and at same time bringing completely new fights to experience.

Second thing – i would really love to see more ,,siege engines,, being offered in WvW. Becouse currently there is not much to choose from.
Enemy has well defended walls? Pick Catapult
Too hard to procect Catapult? Build Trebuchet far away
Upgraded walls? Go ram
Arrow cart to clear up walls
Ballistas to kill players.
Golem for showing off

I have only couple of ideas to give, but with contribution from other players i am sure we could put together at least 5 new ,,siege engines,,

Ladders – good old simple ladders – very cheap, very fragile.
I know they might be drastic in some situations, especialy in hands of skilled mesmer – he could hop over walls and make portal, but we could think about some special conditions to make them harder to be used – takes time to climb up and you must not get hit while climbing, etc.

Siege tower – expensive, slow, tough. Why would we have to destroy the walls all the time, when we could just drive this shiny to walls and get over them

Bombs – dynamits, C4, grenades ( whatever you want to imagine behind this word ) cheap, small damage, personal devices used to damage either walls or gates.

Cannons – similar to catapults, with longer range but with more straight path of shots.
You wouldnt be able to move much vertically with them, so they could be used in flat terrain or from higher ground.

More to be added with fresh mind….

Feel free to dicuss and let me know what do you think, but please try to keep it as constructive as possible.

Lets keep in mind this is a fantasy based game adding to much modern warfare items will pull it away from that. however more siege items would be nice, I think just keep them simple tho like add racial siege weapons. Same weapons that we have now but add new skins and skills. would be amazing to have racial upgrades at the towers and keeps too. upgrade that stack.

Well i understand it is a fantasy game, but they do have ships in Tyria, so why no Warships and why not battle with them.

As for my engine suggestions, if you want to keep it more fantasy way, it might be even better, since it gives us more space for imagination

As for your suggestions, i think they sound great on paper. Having differently upgraded towers, depending on a race that upgraded it- could be only skin, but it could aswell give the base some unique stats. Charrs could bring some extra plating to gate, etc.
And it would look very cool having different bases on the map.

barricades would be nice to be able to build

The technology to make wheels on siege engines actually work.
It’s odd that we have invented gunpowder and teleporting, but we still can’t figure out the wheel..

I personally like the idea of siege towers, make it high demanding supply structures, make it slow (maybe moved around by 4 dolyak) , make it tons of HP and above all make it huge high from the ground lol
