PoF really five new maps? Or four + boss?
Its technically 8 maps, since Living story is gonna happen shortly after.
Or every map could have a world boss. It’s difficult to say right now.
Anet heard the complaints about Dragon stand, so I doubt they are going to do it that way again. Additionally, if you have seen the leaked map sizes, they are huge. Its hard to imagine its even possible for any of those maps to be solely dedicated to one meta event.

I heard they’re trying a new concept where there’s going to be two or three boss metas in each map. ;D
Oh, just kidding before anyone has a salt attack.
You know what, if it is initially 4 maps and a world boss meta for the 5th, I’m fine with that. I don’t dislike the metas on the HoT maps, I dislike that they were all built like that. I like variety and sometimes I just feel like wandering around a map and not worrying about being in the right place at the right time and everything I do is to move a meta along. I just need a few maps that let me breathe.
I actually really like Dragon’s Stand…
“Beware he who would deny you access to information,
for in his heart he dreams himself your master.”
Based on leaks, none of them have a “straight path” feel to it like Dragon’s Stand does, be it partially or in full.
They may all have a world boss tied to it, like HoT, or perhaps they won’t – hard to tell there. And even if they do, hard to tell if metas will be akin to the HoT maps (bihourly) or more like the Draconis Mons, Silverwastes, or what have you metas.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
