Guild Wars 2

I do not like having free repairs for WvW. WvW maps are way too small and now zergs can resupply their numbers in 30 seconds or less without having to worry about losing gold. This sounds awesome for those who get steamrolled all the time, but it makes it almost impossible to take any tower that is near an enemy home base.

WvW maps need to be larger. It would slow the pace of full map zergs and give way to better strategy and tactics.

I’ve never known anyone to say “I could run in there.. but if I die I need to repair..nevermind.”

I don’t think the repair costs were ever a huge concern of anyones? were they?

The repair cost was so minimal that there was no point for it to cost anything.

i personally dont actually care about repair costs….

Also, i don’t see how removing them has affected gameplay, except that maybe i’m 50 silver richer every week…

And Anet already stated that they can’t make bigger maps because of technical issues.

Repair costs had zero impact on WvW decisions from anyone I know. When superior siege costs 10x times or more than repairs did and we drop those like they cost nothing.

As for bigger maps, no… just no. EotM is proof that a larger map generally sucks. I want to fight more which means avoiding ten minute runs.

If you really want to improve WvW tactics, remove the ability of players to rez other players. Zergs would then have to be more considerate as to the targets they attack. Now they just have to win regardless of the losses and they immediately reconstitute their numbers.

I think I kamakazied more before the repair costs went away, why? no reason, just It never even phased me to the point that I thoughtlessly threw my life away many times just for fun.

The only way to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish and still keep reasonably sized maps is for the actual towers/keeps themselves to be more gated or staged in their flipping/building/layout. This however, would be some serious design change work.

I kamikazi tons of times, no matter if i have to pay 1g an hour, or not.
