Guild Wars 2

I today had an idea. What if, when a server owns nothing or close to nothing, they get access to some mystical underground events, that they can do. They can claim friendship with some npcs (like the mercenaries already in EB) by completing an event and then they can build, via some mystical crystal stuff, an underground teleporter network, with what they can fast travel throughout the map and exit the network through portals. Towers and Keeps are excluded from those portals. Those underground ppl could be some weird Asura ppl, who still live underground.

Where a huge Zerg usually builds siege and stuff quickly, the smaller server can now do the same, by traveling via this teleporter network. Or they can just use it to assault camps and caravans to prevent the strong server from fortifying until the own server is in numbers back there.

Of course after you cap more and more fortifications, you lose influence over those asura and the teleporters deactivate at one point.

The teleporters can transport just a limited ammount of ppl and have to recharge, so that it can not be abused too much. They can also be claimed by more than one server. Also they could connect to some underground tunnel system, where it could happen that 2 smaller groups of servers, who don’t own kitten on the map, can have some smal scale skrimish battles. This undergound tunnels could hold some kind of “supply camps”, where every1 can hold +5 supply, or smth.

That is not intended to balance different populations out, but to give some stuff and some “advantages” to horribly outmanned servers, when the matchup is crap.

So you want more pve in WvW????

for me, i say no thx to this idea. I hate the pve that is already in wvw

I don’t want that. The inital event to claim teleporter control would be PvE, from this point forward you would have access to this network. It is basicly just a fast traval system, with an additional udnerground “level” to have smal scale battles.
