Guild Wars 2

There are no zones, no portals into the realm of others servers;

The EB would be placed at the centre of the map, the other battle zones would be placed at the other sides of the map, One large main keep would defend a choke point leading into each servers battle zone, the zones would be exactly the same as they are now, but all on one map.

There would be no instant killer guards at the citadel, but they would be boss hard, a server can lay siege to a citadel only if they own the EB main keep and each main keep of the server they intend to siege, you also cannot lay siege to a citadel out of peak hours.

laying siege to and winning a citadel debuffs that server with a 20% stat"disgraced" debuff that last 1 hour

the victors can spray their guild marks about the citadel to let the losers know who was there.

they also get a phat loot chest, ton of karma and 20% stat boost for 1 hour. only one citadel can be taken per hour, they take 12 to reset.

The first time I logged into WvW back at launch, I actually thought I had to start in my own borderland and after that was conquered I could continue on to Eternal Battlegrounds. When an enemy keep was taken in EB that would make their borderland vulnerable. I thought there was some sort of link, attack line if you will, not that you could attack any objective at any map at any time.

Today I see Planteside 2 going the same route, maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea for GW 2. It would reduce the constant objective flipping and would provide keeps with a sense of purpose other then giving some arbitrary points. It would serve as a point of attack.

So how does your idea work then, when 1 server is massively stacked against the other, the entire week could be over in 3 hours.

1. So……you cant take there eb keep unless you own there other keeps but you cant get to the other keeps because there eb keep blocks the choke point? this is what you said. I would laugh but it would be a waste of energy.
2. So assuming that after we fly hacked into there area and took there keeps then managed to take there eb keep (while defending our own keep and the 3 we took at the same time) they would get there would be a 40% stat differential (even the server that sat back and watched is 20% higher than the loser) which basically means its time to steam roll your enemy’s into there spawns, go about on our thieves and insta-gib hole groups of de-buffed players. So far the only thing you said that makes any sense is the rewards for all the hard work you and your fellow players put in taking every thing, exept oh wait you had to fly hack over there mane keep to take there other keeps so you could then go back and take there mane keep all while assuming that you could hold all there keeps at the same time. clapclapclapcalp!! bravo! bravo I say!

Lastly, you can only take stuff during peek time?! who’s peek time? the Americans? the Chinese? British? Australian? French? German? Any other EU or Asian country’s peek time………..WAKIE WAKIE NUMPTY HEAD.

P.S. the only thing you have sad that bares any thinking about is the idea that taking stuff in a certain order incurs certain (non-stat) benefits and/ or making other locations more vulnerable. Like owning bay increasing swim speed on that bay’s border for example.

Considering you can flip all of EB and all of a BL in about an hour during off-times, no.

This idea is terrible.
