Fails – The map is huge, objectives few and far between while being filled with PvE. 70% of my time was spent running from point to point or trying to find something i could do, in other words 70% of my time playing the game was wasted. even things like camp capping (going camping) is a turn off now, camps far apart and massive runs to get to them, my thought? Double the amount of camps on the map, half the amount of time deducted from the upgrade time per yak and place said new camps around the map in a fashion that would encourage camping again.
The map, its a maze, a try hard dynamic tiered map thats a confusing pain the cats shight hole. Sure over time you would learn all these passageways are lanes etc but just how long this will take and how much of a turn off it is, is scary to me.
The Fire, AIr, Earth w/e buffs u get from the little symbol w/every thingies are a massive pain in the cat as well as these force you to get them yourself due to enemy players maybe having these buffs alrdy ( you are doing away with guard stacks for this exact reason) all of the controlled knock back wind things are nothing more than a troll also, causing frustation if caught by them. ohh yeah, only managed to find one good place that 2 groups could have a nice open field scrap.

When i started i was excited for this new map but it didnt take long to get srsly bored, however, i tried to push through this and keep stepping forward. “Not backing down yet.”

I did however come across some very well designed champion bosses around the map, very good looking, new foes and amazing new skills and animations but oh wait, this is more PvE in the WvW map.

I consider myself hardcore WvW – meaning i dont PvE, have multi accounts on different servers spending all my game time playing WvW. This map ruins almost all of the reason i play WvW, single player roaming, zerg busting, blob fighting and chilling out somewhere with friends.

Beautifully looking map, yes, dont get me wrong tho, if this map is released – i cant see it not being released as the replacement for current borderlands after how much time and effort a have been put into it – i will be spending all off my time in EB. Who cares if its flat, mirrored or old, it delivers all the things i look for except my lovable cat room – R.I.P King catangorous -

but srsly – massive fail imo – EotM 2.0.
100% confirmed Boarderlands = Next WXP/Ktrain map and just somewhere competitive ppl will avoid

Persistence overcomes resistance. In the end, all things you work for can be yours, except in gw2.
