Guild Wars 2

The new Desert Boarder-land introduced with the expansion is great and potentially will add a lot more to the aspect of WvW and large scale combat as well as control of the map. But what did it do to roaming? The old border-land’s I could walk out the spawn point and get in a small 1v2 or 2v2 fight very easily and it was awesome, maybe even perfect the smaller scale fights are what made those boarder-land’s great. That is now for the most part gone or at least I haven’t seen it. The only reason I see this as a problem is that it was such a great aspect to WvW and it just isn’t the same. Yes, it could possibly get better and more roaming could be seen in the new maps over time when people finally get good at knowing how they work. But to me they give of sorta a EoTM vibe I can’t imagine a WvW where roaming is close to non existent because the boarder-land map doesn’t allow people to do it anymore. Please do correct me if I am wrong and if there is a new place I haven’t found yet let me know because I miss my time roaming and the x-pac hasn’t even been here for very long.

It killed roaming basically we have two choices now as a small guild go into EB and get blobbed or go into our bl and ether wait for ever to see anyone or get ganked by a havoc group of totally OPed HOT players why> well cause Anet apparently hates small guilds these days or anyone who hasn’t shelled out more cash just to play the basic game they already bought bought years ago…RIP wvw…

I like your answer. What do you think we as a community could do to get anet to maybe listen to our complaints about the new bl and change it?

@ResilientCrab, apparently the responses are made on the reddit threads. So, to answer your question, I guess the community should move to reddit. I just installed a reddit app on my phone today
Edit: I finally ventured into the southern half of the new BL maps this week. It is so horribly vertical I doubt you’ll find any fights there unless you want to spawn camp. Your only other option for now it seems is to hang around the northern camps, flip them and nearby sentries, then wait and wait and wait and ambush (if and when) people show up to flip them back. There’s plenty of places to hide around corners etc. Especially in the NE camp area. You may have to wait a while. Even hitting the north towers to pop swords won’t get you hardly any attention… I’ve taken out walls with treb on north towers solo, trying to draw attention, and have been ignored most of the time… seriously, a treb, saying oh look here is exactly where I am come and fight me… #nolifeblsigntheDNRandpulltheplugalready
