Heretic

Srsly though as long as the performance in zerg fights is ok, i find i do not care.
How ever i Start to care if i am scouting the Hill.
Some graphical fidelity is allways welcome. Just do not kill the performance please.

The ruins in center looks very nice.

The ruins is much newer than the original map though.

I little touches here and there on alpine would be great.

I don’t think it would be a bad idea to SKIN the map where they just change textures. But I want everything left where it is, I love the Alpine map.

I’m sure some texture changes could take place, I’m sure they would be open to hearing our ideas. Post up some texture themes you think they should do on the map.

I think something like a winter wasteland kind of thing would be cool where there is just snow everywhere on the ground, but not POURING snow like in the blue keep on EOTM. Almost unplayable in that corner of the map because you can’t see anything. The keeps and towers could be made of ice where you can actually see through them (Which I think would be super cool) and camps could have like igloos over the supply depots or something.

Also you could make that winter map the blue map, make Alpine the green map and then come up with another for red. That way its essentially all the SAME map, but skinned differently. That will promote people to still go to the other maps because they still know those maps, they just have different skins.

Just random ideas. I think instead of generalizing, we need to give them some ideas of what we would like to see.

Texturen suggestions:
Northern Europe green gras, not the light green, the dark green.
Dark wood on trees.
Wvw exclusive wall Skins not pve wall Skins reworked.

Brown earth textures, not red and not sandy like.
Camps and houses reworked.
Again maybe Northern European themed, rather than these mud houses with straw on the roof.
How ever:
That would break with the style we currently for consistency reasons possibly a nono.

Guys, this is about large scale pvp, not about skins… The less skins, the better. We gonna fight here, not watch landscapes!

Well the PvE players that play WvW are crying for something different for some god-unknown reason. If different skins will make them happy and keep DBL gone, I’m fine with it as a hardcore WvW player.

OMG! This is hilarious…. “I hate the DBL’s! Bring back Alpine!” oh yay Alpine is back… oh gross please Skin Alpine! bahaaaa…. just killing me…

Practicality is better than visual. Visually, DBL was pretty to look at, but not practical at all. Alpine is practical for WvW.

I also think Alpine looks fine, I don’t really see the need to change it at all. People just complained so much about wanting a change of scenery that ANet had to do something, they just went over board was all.

I’d prefer if they just left WvW alone, it is in a good place right now and doesn’t need touched again. If they just want to skin the maps as they currently sit, fine, whatever, but I don’t want to see DBL back.

How do you know the op wasn’t one of those who wanted to keep DBL?

This is really not about what one person said.. it’s about what is now happening. I hate it give me the old… I got the old.. I hate it give me the new… It’s like kids who realize that they liked it better the other way… no wait… this way… no maybe a different way… see what I mean? I’m seriously not trying to be nasty.. it truly is amusing how these things go.. and as for the skinning… well once again it’s a matter of “getting what ‘we’ want”, and then complaining because it’s not quite the way we want it… ad infinitum… We, ( you and I ), could start going back and forth in a debate but really I’m not going to do that… I will continue to watch and be humoured by the back and forth and flip flops I’m seeing by some people…definitely not all.. one is enough.. :P

I don’t mind if they retexture the borderlands to have higher res textures, but the snow and grass is way more pleasing to look at than brown sand and dirt everywhere.

I don’t get why people say the DBLs looked nice. I thought it was drab and dull.

To each their own I guess.

The first thing I thought when I logged into the alpine BL was OMG I don’t remembering it looking so bad. Quality, not content wise. Conversely, the DBLs were nice from a quality standpoint in regard to textures and things, but the brown, brown content was a drag. It seemed to follow on the base game where you went from amazing areas to average areas to the darkness of Orr. Then came the destruction of nice areas in living story and the brown, brown deserts of dry top and silverwastes, and the “jungle” in HoTthat is more desert/post-apocalyptic than jungle.

seriously, we have so much core issue with WvW and you speak about texture ?!?
We don’t care at all about those textures, we want a good map with fun, and ABL is fine for that ! Game mechanism is more important that shiny map…

Yep, someone is going to complain about something. Personally, I’m pretty happy to have Alpine BL back and I have no issues with the map texture because I was too busy fighting and having a blast to notice or care. Might actually start making videos again!

This is why I like the Alpine BL. It’s just a nicer environment and doesn’t feel and look like a barren wasteland.
