I’m not going to go too much into Dragon stand as a map for anyone who still hasn’t completed it (aside from it being a really fun map!). However, I’ve one request from Arenanet: Can we have the map timer start AFTER the meta start requirements have been met? If it means reducing the timer to account for this, that would be fine.
The issue at the moment is that starting up a new map is tricky because a lot of the time players load into an empty map without much time left! If the timer started after the initial ‘get 5 people to each point’ events were completed it would allow for new maps to be properly set up with commanders/taxis ect. at any point, rather than sitting around at the top right of the map on LFG or waiting for the timer to roll over because there isn’t enough time to complete the meta.
