Guild Wars 2

Moving citadel down and removing everything at the north.

While I agree that there is way to much wasted space up on the north of BL, I’m curious what you wanted to achieve with this ? North camp is gone, you wanted to replace Garri with Citadels instead as a new keep ? Or will Citadel remain a spawn area and cut down to 2 keeps ?

I see both NE and NW camps, and N camp obviously removed. I can see traces of both NE and NW towers, are they in or out of the map ?

I we remove Garri, NWT, NET, and NC. that reduces map from 145 to 95 PPT, further making the map less attractive than EBG (doesn’t have to be a bad thing). It also seems to make things much closer, spawns are closer, and we would be focused more at the 2 remaining keeps. Might be interesting.

Note: I’m biased since I play on very low pop server, higher tiers might need all those extra structures.

Is this a real change being implemented?

Nope, it is a photo-shopped picture, he has just cut off hte top and pasted in citadel on top of where Garri used to stand.

It is much better than what I could have done :p

Another note to this, NW camp looks like it is very vulnerable, since the change in the map will close of the two north ways to it. Still got the bay/wurm gte way and the normal way down to garri sentry though. Think you might have chopped a bit to far south.

Still hoping for a map where keeps and towers would be strategically placed to protect valuable resources (i.e. supply camps).

That would make the map smaller than it usually is, so you’d have to remove the BL bloodlust area and fill it with something that makes better use of the empty space on the map.

- Garri, NW tower, NE tower and N camp are gone.
- Citadel is still a spawn area
- 3 ways to get out of Citadel : 1) Jump in water 2) By NW camp 3) By NE camp

Goal
Make everything closer together to make the map more interesting on lower tier. I was thinking that tier 1 to 4 could have the old home borderland map and tier 5 and below could have this one.

The space north was for the orb, it was replaced it with… nothing.

I like the idea, but wondering how much work this would be. I’ve had another idea for a while, that I should probably get around to post soon.

i agree, orbs were fun, but they were removed for good reason.

speedhackers could do more for your server than being successful at PPT could.
