So I know new WvW maps are hard to balance and prolly isn’t happening in the near or any future. But, how about something similar but much easier?

Retexture, the ez mode quickfix!

My suggestion is to make an option for players to select what kind of map theme they want. Just make new NPC models/structures that do the exact same thing as their current counterparts. Only the player will see whichever variation they choose individually. (Like the bobblehead lab, for example – only players who choose to see will see it)

Examples:
Crystal Desert theme with skeleton defenders
Jungle with Sylvari defenders
Orr with undead defenders
Asura map
Quaggan map
Bear wars – all is bear: bear archers, bear golems. BEARS.

Weather and retexture with environmental differences, for example:
one flooded, but with destroyed bridges and blocked paths (new water paths)
one in snow, with storms and ice walls-bridges (at different areas)
one in current weather, with more trees and normal bridges

The flooded gave me another idea – a kind of Atlantis theme with Largos.

But the idea would be keep absolutely everything in the same spot though, for simplicity and no rebalancing. Nothing but replace A with B.
