Guild Wars 2

So I was thinking, how awesome would a “mini-siege” map be? Hear me out!!

Basic idea: Red starts in the fortress while Blue starts on the field (one team at each end of a “lane” structured map). The objective is to hold the keep for as long as possible. When round one ends, then Blue starts in the keep and Red starts in the field. Whichever team holds the keep for the longest time wins.

Now, the team in the keep will need a reason to leave the keep in order to make it more interesting: install an objective which will make breaking the keep walls much easier like say a cannon similar to the ones in Edge of the Mists. This will ensure that the defenders have a reason to be forced to come out to disable it before the attackers use it to breach the walls with ease.

Also, there would be a “resource pool” for each team which would gradually build up over time, and scoring kills (or perhaps stomps?) would generate a bit of extra resource. Teams would then use these resources to purchase upgrades such as the following, for example:

Both teams:
PvP specific siege equipment (and more besides but for now I’m just listing this one)

Defenders:
Increased wall/gate defense, NPC guards/champs etc

Attackers:
Purchaseable defensive buffs to help withstand siege damage while assaulting the keep

And those are only a couple examples, the possibilities are endless.

I know we already have WvW but this would be totally different. A team size of 15-20 people would be ideal, and it could be put into it’s own PvP map category!

I would personally LOVE to see something like this and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Share your thoughts/ideas and please be constructive!
