Guild Wars 2

First thing is I liked the change in the middle of the borderlands. I think it is much better than the quaggan mercs. I also thing the mechanic of claiming and holding the 5 ruins of power isn’t really bad.

But the Bloodlust boni is terrible. It is exactly the same problem as it was with the orbs. A winning server just keeps winning, because it is hard to face someone who has just better stats than you.

However with the WXP upgrades which allows you to use siege more effectively structures are fall faster. So I would like to see the Bloodlust bonus only applied to allied NPCs, not player and also make Gates and Wall more duriable . Call it mystical protection or whatever. This way the runis would strengthen the defensive structures of your server not the players directly.

This way you would have a reason to fight for dominance on the places of power but you don’t have this really annoying orb problem.
