Guild Wars 2

Why can’t u guys just remove the water from this map like u did on TOSS?

Leave the ship in the middle, so mid fights have this wonderful obstacle to LOS around and such, but this map is really great for groupfights, cuz it is so tiny and easy to move around. It’s a shame it’s not in soloq rotation.

I know the Shark’s are cool, but whatever, a busted up pirate ship is cool too, and group fights are SUPER COOL

For now it’s a placeholder for the time when we wil get a semi balanced and fun
underwater pvp combat. Which is around the time of the next expansion.

Well, if they made it possible to stomp someone underwater, then I think the map would be perfect. It is probably my favorite map, over-all, but since they removed the water in TOSS it seems that underwater stomps are harder to fix than map adjustments like removing the water….

I mean, remember that one DevStream where they displayed how easy it was to add bumpers and barriers to skyhammer and remove some of the glass plates?

I mean it took the guy, like..30 seconds in real time to fix Skyhammer, so please, do the same for Raid, …

Underwater could be fixed relatively easily by reducing the scaling on: warrior damage, ranger pet res, engineer grenades and necromancer life blast.

At least, that’s what I’ve observed as being a bit OP

But where will the sharks live?

With the quaggans and krait that were in the middle of the wvw borderlands.

freeze the water and let it be a beta test map for TDM… add a secondary mechanic to keep it interesting that isn’t an unblockable aoe death blast…

Let’s be fair, at least it’s not in SoloQ (and it’s still more fun than Skyhammer).

+1

anything is more fun than skyhammer…

Skyhammer is pretty fun without engineers and cannon fights.

The whole point of making these changes, is to make it viable for soloq rotation.

Skyhammer is fun. Ok I play engineer.

what’s funny is, skyhammer has the exact same layout as raid of capricorn, u just dont need to run to the boat to load the hammer, which would potentially fix that one bad map

Having played from the beginning, I have always loved Capricorn because of it’s size and how this map encourages group fights nonstop, I love that

It would be so easy to change this map to make it soloq viable, if no developer wants to take the 20 minutes to make the changes, I offer my services for free, just let me use ur map editor, it looks easy enough

I’ll make the canon shoot the sharks, so that we don’t lose them either, they’ll land like the normal canon hit, then flop around and attack anything around them as they perish from a lack of oxygen, u know, like any other beached animal

Please dev’s don’t just let this map rot away in hotjoin. It could be a great map with a little polish.

But they’re not planning on an expansion….wait a minute…I C WUT U DID THAR!

Wtf is with the Capricorn love.
Map can choke on squirrel nuts.

Until underwater is fixed and possibly a map revamp on top of that.

i used to really hate this map,
but then skyhammer was added to show me what real hate is.

though crapricorn comes in 2nd (for NPCs and water)
Khylo comes in 3rd (for the trebs)

They could make it winter themed, freeze the water, raise the ceiling in the rock formation and take the point there instead.

Cannon still works as secondary objective, and make it so standing on the ice for more than a second/2 seconds will give you 1 second chill.

Or dry the water out, make it more vertical (the actually dried up waterbed) and give it a bit more depth.

Maybe crash the ship, or have it on stilts (construction structure perhaps)
