I’ll make a couple of points here to hopefully clarify this issue.

All of those things being true, we absolutely want to make new maps for WvW and when we have them ready to talk about and show off, believe me we will. It’s very important to us that when we do release a new WvW map it is a clear example of what we think the ideal WvW map would be.

So, coming back to this a month later, people are enjoying the Living Season 2, but competitive players are left without anything new to do. Are you working on new maps ?

I think at this point we do not expect perfection, but just something to vary the gameplay. We’ve been stuck in the same matchups for over a month and didn’t get any WvW update since the EOTM release.

If you read it takes time that and if they did add in a new map it would spread ppl out a great deal more or you will just simply get more power creep in the wvw setting. To be blunt i am not sure if there any thing that can be added to wvw at least the wvw for ppt but say EotM or OS they can add some things to make them more enjoyable. So EotM to be less krama tarn and OS to use the mega world or OF like system of EotM.

To me ppl like WvW but they want more with out having any ideal of what “more” is. Its just an easy thing to say “I want more” with out giving any type of real explanation and get a lot of up-votes.

Well I remember a red post stating it takes 6 months to make and test a WvW map.

But recently Devon now states it takes A LOT longer than that.

Either way, we should have gotten at least one new map to play on by now!. And no EOTM is not WvW!!!! :@

Oh yay!! Happy Happy Joy Joy! I am super stoked! Can’t wait!!!!

Mr. Carver is great … he brings us chocolate cake. And grapefruit juice! Happy Sunday WvWers!!!

Oh not this old chestnut again.

They would have to implement map rotation, obviously.

Win!

Well they did say it takes time

I understand what devon said about spreading out the playerbase, I agree. Only t1 would have enough population to spread over 5 maps. But what you should do is make a rotation. Create a new map and have it rotate with eternal bl.

We shouldn’t have duplicated borderlands maps. We could have 3 different maps instead.

There’s no queue outside reset night on BG and TC. T1 doesn’t even has the population to fill T1.

Siege distance, siege sites, terrain, walls doors, angles of vision, this that and the other stuff to make it all work together, yea, I don’t develop and can see a lot of time consuming stuff to make a map…Properly.

What would be freaking awesome is to put EotM directly over the BL maps and eternal so you could just take a long stairway to heaven or hell depending on which direction you are walking then remove the waypoints from either the EotM side or the WvW side.

new maps might stretch out the wvw player base too much and demand more coverage, which is already to stressful for many servers

definitely new and EXTRA maps will create huge problems now …. all are asking for replacement maps of the existent with new design and game mechanisms .

personal i asked for merge of the existent home borders to one like eb in my old thread 4 months ago

check this map : https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/138329/new_map11.JPG

and i full agree of chris’s post under mine

I had an idea similar to this a while ago. Was waiting for my car to be fixed at the shop and i found a scrap piece of paper and sketched a quick concept like yours. However i placed the entirety of EB in the middle. With ‘L’ or triangle shapes around it, forming somewhat of a concentric circles kind of thing layout. The garisons would be the only way to access EB from the borderlands similar to the milegate concept. Each “side” (red/green/blue) also separated by a milegate as well. Towers kept their general locations, obviously angled. i will try to find the paper or i can try to redo my concept.
