Guild Wars 2

I really would like to try out Gliders in the EoTM map.

How about this for an event.

Disable some of the capture points to center the fights in less locations for more large fights.

Allow Gliders.

Perhaps all bridges destroyed.

could be fun

The problem with that idea, is just about every spot in Eotm you could glide in from, walls/doors would be pointless, you could easily glide from OBS right into OG keep, or jump from Bell into FR keep if you managed it correctly.

Eotm is not designed for gliding.

Unless EoTM was built with gliding in mind this would most likely require quite a bit of work and thus seems very unlikely.

thats why I said to disable most of the capture points, to make it pretty much into a giant arena match. during the event, the mode will be more about PvP rather than PvD elements of normal.

Gliding over walls, will lead to more large scale fights against each other.

I say, still have a few capture points, mainly keeps. to keep a central location for each side as their form of a base of operations.

Gliding-chase open world PvP was the best part of Aion.
Falling to your death and having to run back from respawn is one of the worst parts of EotM.
I think some kind of midair recovery mechanic might be a great addition.
