Guild Wars 2

I understand why the Borderland maps need to be uniform in their design (balance), but I propose adding a bit of variety by changing their appearance. You can still keep the map layout of each identical while mixing things up by giving each a unique environment. One map could be snowy/arctic with pine trees, one could be grassy with oaks or willows, and the third could be desert with palm trees. This way we’d have something new to look at every time we jump maps, even if we’re still looking at the same thing.

Great idea! +++1

WVW needs in regard of maps finaly a huge overhaul..

Borderlands should get merged into 1 big WvW map, that is a bit more similar to Eternal Battlegrounds, but more Winter themed than EB, where EB is more like Summer themed.

WVW absolutely needs more Map Variety and elements, that make this gameplay feature more epic in regard of its battles that are on there….

WvW should for first contain out of 4 different big sized maps.

• Eternal Battlegrounds
• Borderlands
• Valley of the Mists
• Sea of Sorrows

Each Map beign themed different, havign different gameplay mechanics ect.
Currently both maps, borderlands and EB feel exactly the same sadly because both maps use the same gameplay frame based on the mechanics.
On both maps you fight for the same stuff, you use the same stuff (siege weapons and the like)

WvW would be alot more interesiting, if each map would offer different gameplay mechanics. Like Sea of Sorrows for example beign based on naval battles for example and underwater gameplay only most of the time and much lesser battling for keeps, towers ect. but for other goals instead.

I hope, that WvW will receive more attention into that kind of direction to improve the game in the course of 2014… because I don’t think that we will see any big improvements about changing WvW into that direction anywhen this year.

I would love to see more maps for WvW. Variety is very welcome in this format, especially with the stale ZvZ gameplay. While I am certain a lot of people would disagree with me here, but I would like a few underwater objectives other than the current PvE content. The problem is that there is currently no siege other than golems that work underwater.
