Guild Wars 2

I thought I would add some suggestions to improve the WvW experience. First, I think button pushing needs to be more interesting. I think adding a new mechanic where you can switch between utility skills like you do for weapons would make pushing buttons and the experience more interesting. Next, I think the maps need to be redone. I believe EB should be left as is because it is unique. I think all the maps should be unique and have their own special mechanic like Stone Mist. For example, Anet could bring the relics back but only to one map, and reduce their positive effects. So, you could have 3 relics on one map worth 1% increase and only affect that people on that map. The other maps could have other unique mechanics and the maps designed around those mechanics. I guess a final suggestion to assist in the other suggestions is have your color(red, green, blue) be random on server reset. I guess this may only be a problem for the Tier 1 servers but if your winning all the time that means your green color. It should be random in my opinion.

Button pushing – do you mean to increase/double the amount of usable utilities while in combat?
Maps – snow and grass is getting old. I would like to fight in the tropics with tropical creatures around me, and in the jungles with jungle creatures around me…

@OP
I don’t think your suggestin add anything dynamic. I’m not sure it’s a good idea to add a second set for utility skills. I often found that less is more tactical than more. Making me choose a few abilities defines how I play, and the strengths and weaknesses of my character.

As for the maps… oh hell yeah. I think the different borderlands need there own maps. I also think EB should be 4 times the size.

i’d love to see each server have their own unique borderland based off of the name of said server. tarnished coast could be a beach area, crystal desert would be a desert, sea of sorrows could be a series of islands, etc. obviously, SoR and BP(i think it is) would need a special customized version, as they’re not based on areas in tyria, but on people. perhaps the maps could take the shape of the face of their namesake?

it would give each server a better sense of identity, and a “home field” feel to their borderlands. it would also create a variety of new and unique challenges when facing new opponents.

I would love to have a button to switch the set of armor as we switch arms….

Yes, I would like there to be twice as much utility skill options.

Roll an engineer or an elementalist. Kits and attunements, all the buttons you’ll ever need!

It’s interesting.

Having a way to switch utilities during a fight would improve combat in some ways . Needing to know when to switch, and having more complex rotations, etc.

But not being able to switch is interesting in that you need to think ahead, and sometimes run into situations that you weren’t ready for.

Both systems can be good, just depends on personal taste.

I love the idea of giving each BL it’s own mechanic. Right now I feel like EB and specifically Stone Mist is such a focus over the week that the border lands just feel like the minor leagues. I’d like it to be more balanced so that all 4 maps are of equal importance.

As for colors. I kinda wish each server had it’s own color, that never changed. I really don’t enjoy being green one week and blue the next. There’s enough variation in the spectrum to give each server it’s own special color.
