Look I know it sounds really cool to have 3 whole borderlands, and eternal, but let’s face it—most servers on most tiers simply cannot handle that much stuff. I’m totally into advanced tactics on the “entire match” level but…even i’m willing to take the hit if it means we all have more fun overall.

When Anet did their beta test or whatever it was to determine wvw matchups…i’m pretty sure they didn’t have PvDoor or timezone dominance or multiple weeks of massively lopsided matches in the mix. Most likely the beta test/whatever was PACKED, basically like a friday night reset. I’m sure of it.

So ANYWAY…3 borderlands + eternal feels like it’s too much. I’m down for 2 maps, maybe 3, with a more eternal-ly balance to each one. Orbs are out of play for now so…borderlands don’t have that same panache they used to. Add in boring sentry duty to check for white swords EVERYWHERE and you have yourself “too much map.”

Anyone with me on this? Ideas?

I don’t have a problem with the amount of maps. If you can’t control all 4 then that’s just part of the game.

My problem, is the redundancy of the three borderlands. Take two out and replace them with different maps! Perhaps design one that’s easy to defend and give it to red team, and give one that’s harder to defend and give it to the green team. Blue team keeps the old map layout.

I’m sure the only problem is that Anet didn’t expected everyone would stack on top tiers and leave lower tiers population so low…

Sometimes i go alone in SF borderland and don’t even get outmanned buff since there isn’t a single soul in there… (unless everyone decided to farm centaurs/skritt)

EDIT: about making new maps… That would just create a lot of drama of “Your team is winning because you have X borderland and we have Y”
