Guild Wars 2

There’s never a problem filling up EB, because it’s fun, there’s lots of action and you can get loads of karma and bags!

This is a problem on some servers with a lower WvW population because the majority of the server tends to gravitate towards what’s fun (and I don’t blame them).

The fun factor on EB is about 10x that of a borderland, especially if you are defending. So I think some added content wouldn’t really hurt it.

The borderlands should be redesigned to offer more unique rewards, perhaps even a chest event in the basement of your homelands garrison if you upgrade it to tier 3, or after defending it for over an hour. After all, EB does have the giant grub and such.

Turn the Skritt and Centaur camps into mercenary camps, offering more options to attack and defend towers and supply camps.

There are a lot of cool things that could be done!

At the beginning I thought Borderlands were more fun… but I hadn’t played enough EB at that time. Now I think they are boring.

At the attacking Borderlands(enemiy BL) we at our lower tiered servers usually don’t have enough people.

As defender on home BL it is boring because hard to move terrain at the defender’s part of the map. Hate those hill/mountain area.

Also: Crafting nodes are low level. There should be same as EB.

Yes, I know they want to make it so that also low level players can play there with their first char. But they will have leveld up fast… and then they can just harvest the higher tier nodes and sell stuff and use the money to buy lower tier stuff(if they still need it to level crafting).

As I said in another thread, just making the borderlands different maps instead of the same one x3 will already make them more interesting

Basically, they just need to fill in the lake.

This.

The main issue of BL is that kitten huge lake in the middle.

The temples are nothing worthy to fight about – so ppl come cap and go, from every server.

Watergate garri (because the bay one isn’t good at all) is the main reason to sneak in the lake: for everything else, you just cross it to run or cut the travel times, but that’s it.

Yup.

This indeed.

At the very least make the island much, much bigger and add bridges for chokes and strategic use.

tbh any change to these maps would be appreciated at the moment.

Remake WvW, it is boring…

Seriously though, I don’t know if I simply had lower standards back in the day, but something about Shadowbane was immensly fun but when I think of what I do in WvW all day, something about it sucks.

Part of it is how shallow the character development is, and another part is how basic the PvP system is. But I still feel like they missed the ball with the WvW system. There’s simply nothing to do all day but zerg, many of the classes don’t have anything to do in a zerg but spam one or two buttons. Theres no real strategy or tactics necessary.

I really don’t think a simple map change would cut it at this point. We’ve had the same thing for 8 months now or more and simply playing on a new rug isn’t going to make up for the lack of new toys.

I’d like to see a big mountain, with paths up into it, with various levels and so forth. Maybe a ruined city at the top.
