Guild Wars 2

With over 70% of players picking old khylo in the poll it’s pretty clear people dislike the changes that were made, only thing is I wonder if anet will listen to or ignore the player base similar to how the wvw community was ignored regarding how bad desert BL was at the start of the expansion, which then resulted in massive amounts of wvw players quitting.

I’m liking the new map so far. The visibility is so much better, and I love the extra exit near camp. It’s definitely less frustrating to fight on mid.

That’s one of the main detractions for the new map. I makes sniping far too easy. It also removes many safety and mobility options for Thief and Mesmer.

The map itself selectively nerfs Thief and Mesmer while buffing ranger and war.

As a Mesmer I like the changes. It actually makes Necro, DH, Ele, have to use their skills and not just staack AOE’s.

The only reason I avoided mid was terrible camera angles and it’s encouragement of AOE spam.

I like the design. I hated the destructive buildings…becasue the collision for them is downright…pitiful. The cliiiiping is real!

It makes dealing with Sideliners pretty fun. Ranger on the side. Nope. Thief trying to creep around a corner to after attacking neeewp.

But being that I always go sides on this map…I am not really honestly truly concerned with the changes. I mean my illusions can take the stairs now at least.
I’ll take an anti-camp update any day.

only the third exit to treb is ok. The rest of the changes killed the theme of the map (and the fun factor). It’s now into the pit of colliseum and foefire as massive zerg fest only maps. Tactics other then winning zerg fight barely work (used to be different). I always vote for the map on wich zerg tactic, fails most often. That used to be khylo. Now that won’t be anymore.

Stop killing maps arenanet. You barely have good maps left. Leave them alone, thanks. As for me, old map but with third exit to treb = best compromise. Plz do so arenanet.

Never EVER had camera problems in khylo. If you play the game a lot like i do, high roofs like that never blind you, maybe if the roof was 5x as low it could be problem, but it’s very high, so no problem.

Old Khylo was better.

Removing the roof is not good at all, the treb in the game plays an important part, it does so much. and the roof is a good place for sneaky play. bad idea imho to remove the roof.

I liked the map the way it was. Now I hate it. It feels very small, and you can snowball a match so quickly. Same for the changed to Cap. It’s just a big open space now. Might as well just remove all buildings and levels and have one big cap point for people to fight over. As it stands the maps are getting worse not better.

I’ve had a change of heart. This map snowballs quicker than any other map by a long shot. Officially my least favorite map of all.

I do not like modifications. Why reforge and modify new maps, instead of creating new ones?

I liked the old map, it was fine. We used it for years, it was used in PvP competitions.

Developers should create new maps, new content, new mechanics and new game modes. They should add new content, not modify the old content that already has a good feedback.

After playing this map awhile now, I gotta say I like the new changes. Looks a little strange, but I love how open it is now.

It appears that strong knockbacks such as ranger’s longbow can force someone into a wall on mid node that is located on the top of the stairs (or in the front of the node) thus making players incapable of getting out. However it appears that thieves are able to somehow get out due to their skills. I hope it will get looked into, or perhaps give us a command to let us respawn.

What they did to this map is a shame. It’s complete bs now.

I kind of prefer the old set-up. Having the spots to shadowstep/port to did give it a more unique experience. I mean, I know they’re still there, but it just isn’t the same.

Old map was better. The new one looks weird and has lost its flavour.

I think this map could be a lot better if there was more intense darkness. the night time effect is a joke, its practically day.

New Kyhlo is so much better, dying near a wall due to missing a skill from sudden camera moves was annoying and i never picked the map in ranked because of that.

PvP is my most played game mode.

Grab that black brush, rub it on the top corners of the brick in middle, add burnt wood debris on the ground and middle, boom map = fixed. It will no longer look like some one got too happy with the delete button.

Aaaaand here goes my favourite map. This is an abomination…

Agree.
I want the old one again. It was much much better, and I like being able to climb the roof.
