Guild Wars 2

…rotate the borderlands maps.

Take all that hard work you put into the tournament, and direct it to new terrain for us to play in. One map, replicated across each of the server’s borderlands… please.

You get enough maps and you can start rotating them every few weeks. I’ll even meet you half way and let you put dumb scarlet in there somewhere. If you must add achievements, knock yourselves out, but I think this would go a long way to making wvw more fun and less toxic.

… but the entire point of seasons is adding “content” that is not really content. If there actually was a dedicated WvW team, which there isn’t, I’m sure we would see a much higher quality of content being added.

I once had an awesome thought related to this. But it would require too much work and would never be implemented.

Each BL would have a unique map related to the server whose home it is. For example, Jade Quarry would resemble a jade sea type landscape whereas Crystal Desert would have a desert landscape. Each map would obviously have identical number of objectives and would have to be balanced so objectives were equally easy to defend and take.

But it would give a sense of uniqueness, spice things up, and gives the home server “home terrain advantage”…. ie: No one would know the tricks and secrets about your home map better than your own server.

While I know nothing like this will ever be put to action, there DOES need to be something added/changed to WvW before it gets stale. And don’t tell me EotM did that…EotM is not WvW.

Seriously though, 3 identical boring borderland maps? Come on, give us something new! New maps = new tricks/strategies = more fun = keeps people playing the game.

You’re talking about the GVG map back in GW1 right?
Those are quite awesome, and I’d like to see them at least in pvp map.
Too bad Anet doesn’t use the good things that’re already there and decided to add crappy things like Sky Hammer.

Could be worse… We could have skyhammer cannon on wvw…

I wonder how hard it would be for them to put the EOTM map in WvW proper for a week. Take out the BL’s and put in EOTM. If it worked out they could then alternate the maps once a month or something.

I hate the eotm map.

They could totally put in temporary maps and then remove them two weeks later!

They could put temporary WvW objectives out in the open world, staging battles in different zones each month, for different rewards which disappear at the end of the month. Then after a year, we could all have an epic battle in Lion’s Arch, totally, utterly destroying every structure there permanently with siege!

/hello?

/anybody there?

I agree. Make it happen. Throw in those ridiculous EoTM auto turrets as well, have them cover all open areas like the area around SW Garrison sentry, between Bay and Briar tower, the sentry near south camp, between Hills and Garrison, west of Lake tower, all of it! More NPC interference please. Content!

If they made 3 unique maps for all the colors then we would be ending up like in EB where some people keep telling what color is the best and whats not.

One map could be easier to defend than other for example. Etc. etc. etc.

I’m not against new maps in WvW, I would gladly take them if there was any, but I think they should be swapping around in weekly basis so that every border has the same map on the match up. That way colors won’t get discriminated by certain maps being easier to siege than others.

Also, servers own map does sound fun, but it would be awfully lot of work. There is currently 18 (EU) and 15 (US) servers, which all would need a home map. After that they need to keep balancing, fixing and stuff like that. Anyone remembers how long it took for ANet to fix the old Borderland maps out of all the easy to do jump off the map glitches etc. Theres still some in, but not as many and not as easy ones as back then.
