Obsidian Sanctum used to be a place full of activity and some very unique PvP action. Since it’s map chat was removed from EBG’s map chat, and the reward was nerfed twice, it has become pretty desolate, ruining a place where many people loved to PvP.

To bring it back, OS should be moved into the HotM map. Much like the portal to the little tutorial island, there could be another portal to the puzzle, which would share the same map chat as the HotM, and would be a place that people could duel and burn time while queuing for matches.

People could be placed on teams based on the order they enter the map, based on the server (like in EotM), or it could just be FFA.

OS needs some love!

Why not adding a dueling place in HotM without removing OS from WvW?

Yes, it isn’t used much anymore but sometimes people still like to fight there. And by moving OS to HotM it wouldn’t only change its place. It would also remove build variety due to the restrictions of PvP builds.

I would LOVE this! This is my favorite jumping puzzle in the game and I think the PvP community could breathe some life into this.

Even today I camp there often looking for good fights, sorry but nobody goes there any more, you’re talking about a demographic that doesn’t exist because of the OS nerfs. Moving it to HotM would solve all these problems and get it packed with people again!

It would solve nothing. It would just remove OS. Adding something else in PvP would do nothing for people, who want to duel in WvW. And they are still there, even if most of those fights take place in EB. Sometimes there is still a reason to go to OS.

Adding a dueling place in HotM which can be used during queues is a great idea. But it should be completely independent from OS. Because there are some fundamental differences between PvP and WvW.

No. Just let us play the game however we want while waiting for a queue pop for fracks sake. We could play pve and hotjoin while waiting for 2 years after the game was launched, but suddenly it’s impossible to do, lol.

Arenanet reasoning. I can’t even.

But it’s meant to have combat. What would you do? Add Aetherblade or Zaishen masters to fight players?

And if added, why not also the puzzles from the Alpine borderlands? That way they could be removed from there, so the Borderlands can focus just on combat.

They could be on floating islands over the Heart of the Mists, so they aren’t see in the horizon and affect performance less.

First they made the reward account daily instead of character daily, then they reduced the badges and loot you got from it. Separating OS and EBG map chat could have been considered a nerf too.

What? Players would fight each other. It would still be a PvP zone, just in the SPvP lobby instead of on a WvW server.

Seems odd that they’d just abandon it. So much life used to be there.

Yes!!! This idea is brilliant! I really miss fighting people in that puzzle! It was such a unique and fun part of the game. For a long time back in vanilla GW2 it was the main reason I logged in! Please bring this awesome place back to life!
