Guild Wars 2

Just had a thought about a new map. Not sure if anyone has thought of this before or said anything.

So have 3 servers on one map, just like in Eternal Battlegrounds. There would be 5 keeps in the center, maybe in the shape of a pentagon. Each tower will be special. By this I mean that each tower will be represented by each race of Tyria. One tower controlled by Asuran, one by Human, Sylvari, Norn, and Charr. Each tower will have special effects (buffs/debuffs) like the effects from the territories in Edge of the Mist, with respect to what race represents each tower. In the center of the pentagon of keeps could be a giant castle like Stone mist Castle in Eternal Battelgrounds. The environment can also be unique to each are surrounding each unique keep.

Keep in mind this has not been thought through, but hearing everyone’s thoughts about this would be fun. Any other stuff you all want to add?

It takes over 9000 days to make a map!

Please come up with ideas which require the most minimal of effort, time and resources to implement, eg, account bound WXP, coloured tags, a new mastery, PPK and removing white swords.

It’s an idea. Never said anything with acting on it. Just “hearing everyone’s thought about this would be fun”.

Yeah a new map would do a lot to refresh WvW, maps have been asked for for over 18 months now.

Players asked for map rotations, Devon replied oh so long ago that that was the idea and new maps would be coming Soon™. But here we are with still nothing.

We players have been posting ideas for well over a year, but unless Anet actually spends the time and resources on actually working on WvW, it will forever remain in its current state.

So what do you think about my idea? Sound good as a map?

As long as the reapawn isnt too far away it sounds like a real meat grinder, the kind of map i like. If you add enough players just about any map becomes fun

I like the idea but like the idea of having 7 or so maps that are randomly selected for each borderland better. Different spawn areas, tower/keep layouts, and geography.
For example, one idea I though would be cool would be an abandoned Dwarf Firtress. Put a mountain in the middle of the map and have the home server have citadel at a southern-ish portion of the map (similar how it is now with garrison but on the south side). Have the other two servers spawn in the north. The keep is carved into the mountain and has no inner walls. Additionally, lords room will be elevated, allowing you to build ACs in lords that protects both inner and outer.
Other maps like a forest or prairie based map would be really cool IMO

For balance reasons each borderland would have to be a different instance of the same map but having this map rotate through different ones weekly has been suggested many times and for well over a year.

WvW needs new rotating maps, the wvw population is spread too thin as it is. We do not need more maps.

At this point after 2 years I would accept them mirroring the borderlands so Bay and Hills are on opposite sides of the map. Not really a change but god at least it will feel a little different.

WvW is like eating the same lunch for 2 years, all they have changed is the wrapper/packaging. It’s still the same old baloney in the middle with some very stale bread around it.

At this point being offered broken glass for lunch sounds interesting…..
