So I tried out the new WvW map (desert borderlands) for the first time and was in awe of the amazing construction its development team delivered. I absolutely loved the Fire Keep (attempted a screenshot below) and would be mad excited to see some new, “man-made” content in future maps delivered to PvE.
So far, we’ve seen some beautiful scenes of nature across a variety of climates (Maguuma jungle, Ember Bay, etc.), but I think it would be really cool if ANet could also deliver some really sweet fortresses in those settings that we could work to defend against assaulting NPCs – somewhat like the Silverwastes meta, but with significantly cooler and grander defensive positions. They could each have a very unique feel and mechanic, possibly based off the culture that built them, the climate they’re in, or even if they’re being defended by the Vigil or the Order of Whispers, etc.
I would absolutely love to be able to run through the country-side and happen across some sweeping fortress of the Norn that I then have to defend in the Shiverpeaks, or maybe some gargantuan desert citadel crafted by the humans as a bastion against the sands in the possibly-looming Crystal Desert patch? =)
I’m curious to hear other people’s thoughts on this.
Bump fixing the Monk Outfit?
