Guild Wars 2

While perusing the net for wvw ideas, I was reminded that some games give their players tools to build “stuff”… While my original thought quest was “Hey, maybe if the devs wanted to expand on wvw we could run a map maker contest and really get everyone involved!”, but I am not some computer expert so I don’t know how realistic that would be… Then I was like “hmmm, maybe this would be cool for something smaller scale like spvp.”….

So the grand idea is this…

•Give the players the tools to build spvp maps..

•Run a contest when the devs want to introduce a new map.

•Have players submit their creation along with a description of mechanics and objectives.

•Run a community driven vote.

•The devs make the winning map into a fully playable map.

•Release map and let players play.

Thoughts?

this could prob be achieved w/ the tools they’ve built for the guild arenas.

but since we kno their focus is on the esports, and even w/ a dedicated team they can’t seem to build more than the 5 or so arenas we have now, i wouldn’t count on them accepting user designs
