Guild Wars 2

Raid on the Capricorn, a map a lot of people hate. I actually enjoy this map from time to time. So I was trying to think of ideas to make it better and maybe be put back in que so we have more maps to play. I came up with two ideas in my view that would make the map more enjoyable and balanced.

1) Move the capture point from the ruins to the ship
2) Buff the sharks

Wait what buff the sharks? Are you stupid? Before you crucify me let me explain the reasons for these changes.

We all know underwater combat is woefully unbalanced and it probably won’t be fixed anytime soon. So first step is just to eliminate it until they fix it. You do this by moving the capture point to the ship. The ship is the center piece of the map and deserves more play. As of right now, nobody even bothers to go on it. Most of the time people just grab cannon balls from it and that’s it. You hardly see any combat on it, and it’s unfortunate because it would make a great place for some fights because of all the different levels and its design.

Next the shark buff. Since you moved capture point to the ship there’s no reason to go underwater. Wrong, it’s still the fastest way to travel around the map. So by buffing the sharks you implement risk and reward type of gameplay. Sure you’ll get around the map faster, but you have to factor in the risk of being downed or even defeated by the sharks. Also if you’re fighting on the ship you could try knocking your opponent in the water, for some added tactics.

So these are my ideas on how to make this map better. Feel free to comment and add your own suggestions. So we can get this map some more love and maybe back into the que.

map is too small to move the point to ship

I have a better idea…delete both capricorn and skyhammer kitten already and give us two decent maps where it would be fun to play without lame mechanics, water, knockback\fear to win, map exploits and so on….

I know i’m asking way too much…

Some of us like the underwater combat, so please don’t remove the ONLY remaining area for underwater pvp in the entire game.

Just leave it in hotjoin where it belongs, and let it rot in the sands of eternity.
