Any hope for a new desing/environment?
I think for wvw things need to be toned down a lot because of performance issues – imagine now if they decided to make it look as best they can but now more than 90% of players are watching a slide show. I think it would be bad. I think in wvw case it’s more about optimizing maps for performance.
Now DBL doesn’t have a bad performance at all. And it is true that the FX/Lights & Textures on EBG are fugly when u compare them. I would also love to see a revamp of it.
Sure, I’d love some new wvw maps, but it is fairly far down on my list of priorities.
Simply put, I think that dealing with the population/coverage balance, gameplay balance, and simply making the gameplay fun to play even if outnumbered are more important.
If you do like eye candy, I’d recommend Desert BL, it is pretty much everything you ask for, except that it is not EBG.
EBG is honestly the last map they should mess with, since it is the favorite map and works pretty well as it does. That whole line with “if it isn’t broken don’t fix it” etc, because lets face it, ANet does have a bad track record with “updating” thing in WvW, and if they did something that turns players off EBG…

DBL performance is stable, so I do not see any problem in doing a redesign in EBG.
