How about WvW Map Rotation to bring some alternation to wvw.
We currently have 4 different wvw maps.
For “Side Borderlands” the old borderlands and the new desert borderlands. As well as Eternal Battlegrounds and Edge of the Mists, lets call them here “Central Borderlands”.
Every reset it will be randomized which “Side Borderlands” and which “Central Borderlands” will be available this week. In Future new Borderlands can be added to this rotation. Further we are still able to play the old maps from time to time, as well as the new ones.
PS: I thought wvw map rotation was planned with the release of desert borderlands, but seems like this wasn’t the case
What do you guys think, about some kind of map rotation/randomization?
PS: I don’t wanna hear something about something like “I dont want map X or Y on the map rotation, because I don’t like it”. Everyone has his preferences and that’s fine, but this shall be about some sort of variety in matchups.
At the moment I think we might need to cut down on the number of maps (preferably dynamically), so EBG+Alpine+Desert, single copy of each. Just remove the home BL definition and leave each map a stand a lone map.
I wouldn’t mind EotM in rotation myself, just that there is already to many maps compared to the population, shifting the number of maps down would concentrate the players a bit more.
Also just remove the "home" advantage to each map, or give it to all sides (this is mainly the services of Citadel).
Even more than a rotation, I’d love to see a dynamic adjustment to the number of maps, so that it responds with the active population at all times. So 10+5+3 players during middle of the night, they might shift down to a single map, instead of trying to defend 4 maps with 3 players etc.
