I’m really afraid of such mixed borderlands, because i like to play on both maps (especially DBL after improving) – but as rotation.
It might happen that mixed borderlands end up ABL is full and DBL is empty. DBL will the “Free PPT” map while the most of player joins ABL.

A-Net have to rework the DBL abit more, then it’s fine. It’s better than mixed things where you’ve to balance the PPT dramatically.

Your minds?

How is this in any way different from now?

I often see fights focused on 2 borders while another is constantly outmanned due to low coverage. Heaven forbid there is also a blue borderhop commander – then on those 2 borders 90% of the population will be focused around that commander and the one border he is on.

People are seriously overthinking mixed borderlands. The community will balance themselves – if one side get’s too much “free PPT” just like they can get from an alpine border today, then go there and harass them. Dont want to because it’s an icky desert border? Well then they get free PPT and your server loose potential points you could get for little to no effort.

It’s as kittening simple as that.
