New PvP area ideas!!!
The under water combat system is even 10 times more unbalanced than normal ground combat. That would require a good amount of time to fix. Id rather have anet focusing on problems the game has since beta.
While it would be a nice option, the priority is very low. Better to work on MM, build diversity and maybe more PvP modes.
Hey guys, thought I would make this thread for ideas to share with Anet!
One Idea I had was a PvP arena map where half is on the ground and another part is under water! It would be so much fun to have an area where you have to fight under water! I love the water concept in GW2 and it would be so cool to add that element to structured pvp and or areans!! Chime in on PvP thoughts and potential map ideas!
FYI, there was such a map but it was taken away because of how unbalanced UW combat is. It was called Raid on the Capricorn. Many people, including myself, think it could be a fun little map for hotjoin but not for any rated PvP.
Just some random video I picked off Youtube to show the map to you:

Yannir for males. (guard,thief,war,ele)
Sonya for females. (necro,rev,ranger,mes,engi)
All classes lvl 80.

A conquest map that looks like the introduction area for Sylvari. The dream when they are fighting the nightmares and bridges form from leaves and branches right before your eyes. That would be cool.
Another conquest map that looks like the inside of the dungeon CoE. Dark, lots of pillars, a network of small rooms. Glass or laser barriers showing weird creatures on the walls.
A large 15v15 arathi basin type of map. With Hills, an island in the middle with bridges connecting to each side. 5 points to control. Large hills you can jump from. no gliding though. Could be located in Skrittsburg, Brisband Wildlands. That giant skritt area. Would be cool
Capture the flag on a map similar to warsong gulch. Large and 8 vs 8. Two big multi level bases on each side, separated by a large field in the middle. I would make this in Caledon Forest actually. One base will look like a sylvari themed structure, the other like a human themed structure.
Lastly, I’d make an underground mine that looks like the volcanic fractal. You gotta get supplies and put in carts, and push the carts to your area to gain points. would push carts the same way you push orbs in raids. I’d make this a 5v5v5. blue team vs red team vs yellow team.

Nice ideas here. But I’d rather have them as Stronghold maps as I think we have plenty of Conquest maps atm and strongholds biggest weakness at this time is the lack of alternative maps. Or maybe even as Deathmatch arenas as it’s suffering from the same problem.

I’ve been thinking about issues regarding larger battle sizes in GW2, and feel like a 10v10v10 would be the best larger combat mode. A 10-man 3-way if you will. It would bring tactical aspects that are unheard of in GW2 as of yet. Having it be 3-way would somewhat alleviate the fact that 10 ppl focusing 1 target is an unsurvivable situation. Only guardians, eles, engis and mesmers can realistically survive that focus for more than 6 seconds.
The thing just keeps getting more and more complicated the further you think about this so I’ll just stop it here.

That is actually pretty cool. Maybe one day they bring it back! Maybe for unranked? etc.
Something sylvari themed! (Nightmare court as red and the pale tree as blue)
i hate the under water mechanics so much.. especially as rev (we only can use 2 legends there)
