As we all know, the center event in the BLs is not working out as intended. As an avid player of the new BLs, I know the area is essential of fast navigation of the maps, so redesigning it like they did the south end water (quaggans) in the Alpine maps wouldnt be great. Here is what I suggest:

A replacement event
- this one initiates on all new BLs at the same time with the 15 minute count down.
- players hit a portal where the mega laser currently is. That ports them to an area a similar size but different layout (could be rotating maps over time).
-players all released into the fight as the portal from the BL closes to prevent chaining in players.
-This map ideally has large open spaces, good for larger scale fights.
-The fight here is a deathmatch. each kill is worth 25 points towards your servers total. -Since you portal in, No banners allowed.

This doesn’t solve the main problem with the Oasis—There’s no reason for a vastly outnumbered force to even show up. In fact, since each death is 25 points for the enemy, nobody would come unless they were assured victory or had very even numbers. If you just ignore the event, your enemy gets nothing instead.

Also, since it happens every 15 minutes, it would basically replace the entirety of WvW. There’d be no time for anything except this event.

All that needs to happen is that the laser damage needs to be reduced based on the cores turned in by the losing servers. Even better if, instead of having to turn them in, they can simply destroy them with a moderate channel without having to reach a turn in point. That way, no matter how outnumbered, a server has a chance to make a difference in the event.

I meant you get a 15 minute warning. not that the event happens every 15 minutes.

The center event should be a managed arena event.

Make it 20v20 GvG fights and which ever server wins the most matches gets the buff.

The total event should take 6 hours.

Squad challenges are queued. There is no limit. All challenges are met in the order they are received.

If a squad lays down a challenge and no one responds in a half hour, the get the victory by default. If all challenges are ignored they still only count as one victory per half hour and then the clock starts ticking again.

The arena should be just a big open space. No obstacles. Pure theorycrafting and maneuvering tactics.

Simple, Skill based and will engage the ego of every fightmander in WvW. They can even have a spectator mode so that we can all watch the horror show unfold.

Just move the mystic forge and all the NPCs into the center.
