I was just wondering which option most of you would prefer.
1. Scrap Desert, and revert all three borderlands to Alpine.
2. Cycle between Alpine borderland and Desert Borderlands every week or two.
3. Have three different borderland maps instead of three identical maps e.g. 1x Desert, 1x Alpine and 1x EotM (temporarily until a third borderland can be created).
There’s a straw poll with the question “Do you want Alpine Borderlands back?”, but all three of the options in my poll bring back the Alpine borderlands. There’s a big difference between wanting “just” alpine, alpine on occasion, and alpine as an option with other options too.

There are several threads on this, just asking if people want to go back is a leading question. There are probably more people who want to go forward and improve the present map.
At the moment going back would take a lot of effort, better improve the Desert Borderland, then upgrade the old Alpine Borderland and finally install a rotation at some time in the future. New maps could be then added when available.
So
1. upgrade present map
2. upgrade Alpine map then cycle between the two
3. Install an automatic rotation/random selector and new maps when available.

Wasn’t there already a poll with around 90% voting for Alpine BLs here somewhere on forums?
No – it was a straw poll which basically said we want the ABL or get rid of DBL. Well, not that bad but it was close. Only A.Net could do this and they haven’t yet.
It’s real simple, and we don’t need 50,000 threads similar to this.
Let’s fix the basic shzz first, mkay? Then we can later on down the road decided the other stuff.
By making this thread instead of adding your thoughts into the other bigger thread, you’re just really not offering anything constructive at all. In fact, it’s probably confusing a lot of people just now returning to the forums to get information, now that the devs are back in the conversations.
Did see Mike O’Brien’s post within the big 5 top priorities? It seems like you missed it. He did say that as of this moment, there’s no way to “rotate” any maps.
So, the first order of business that makes any sense is for the devs to get the “switch maps” up and running. THEN that buys them time to work on DBL.

For everyone else, let me direct you to the thread the devs are currently watching (and please put your thoughts and opinions there):
If the moderators wish to merge this thread into the big one about top 5 priorities, even though it’s not actually answering the question that thread asks, then that’s up to them.
Btw, I edited the OP with a slightly modified straw poll link

Again, this is something that is 100% moot unless and until the devs figure out a way to switch the maps, which as I already said, at the current time, they cannot, per Mike O’Brien’s statement in the big thread.
The alpine Bls were fine but like anything else there should be a change. I found the fact that there are three BLs that are identical unimaginative in the first place. What positive points do the Alpine BLs offer you over the intricate nooks and crannies of the Desert BL. We seem to always be finding a new place to treb or hit the Desert BL and that alone adds to the enjoyment instead of running that same beaten path after 3 years on the Alpine BL. Plus the the spawn being removed and not an easy response wp makes the Desert so much better for small groups trying to cap things.
