Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen discussions on this in various topics but not one specifically dedicated to that area now that the Laser Event had been removed. Now with the ABL to be coming in the near future, I’d like to take this time to give the Devs some ideas and feedback on what to do with that specific area of the map when it’s removed to be worked on.

I like many others really don’t want the work they did creating this map go to waste. So please post your ideas of what you would like to see changed in this particular area of the map.

My idea: CTF type Event (Reward: Temporary Uncontestable Waypoint).

1: Absolutely no type of PvE event to replace it.

2: Clean Up: Remove the platform, camps and trees and devoid of any creatures or NPC’s.

3: Landscaping: Adjust the landscape to provide positive combat flow.

4: Event start: Every 2 hours per map (6 hours on the full rotation). Starts with a flag in center with Orange Swords that will turn into a waypoint for the winning server. No on screen notification of the event start. You need to monitor the maps.

5: Duration of Waypoint: Until the next event cycle starts.
Clarification of next event cycle- This means when the event starts on another map. This will allow the Waypoint to only exist for 2 hours.

6: Capture Area: 1200 Radius (can be larger if necessary). Combat must be present
in the Capture Area to bring up the ring and start the timer. Set with a 15 minute event timer to capture. If not captured when timer runs out. Event resets to back of the rotation. Capture Area becomes contested any time an opposing server enemy is in the Capture Area until removed or killed. Set a 10 second timer for the Capture Area (uncontested).

Bonus Reward: Possibly a large addition to the current WvW Reward Track System. Possibly a 25% increase awarded to the line.

Edit: Clarified the Waypoint duration.

i guess i can get behind this, but a wp in the middle would be a pretty big change. also lol, where would the potential flag bearers carry the flag to for a capture?

The flag is just a marker for the where the center of the event is. No pick up. Remember there is no capture circle until combat starts.

oh. ctf is a lil misleading. i like the idea tho.

Wasn’t sure, could be King of the Hill if you want, lol.

Bumping for visibility. If the thread gets no responses, I’ll let it go to the Mists graveyard.

What I would like to see in the center – flatten the entire area and create the mother of all dolly camps with similar fortification to a tower (maybe even a unique double walled tower, placing it between a keep and tower).

Why? Because it would be a hub connecting all parts of the map and something desirable to fight over and control.

While they are at it, this could also fix a major layout issue – remove the camp between spawn and garri and move garri closer to spawn. Hell this might even put it in treb range of side towers (outer anyway).
