Guild Wars 2

Sitting in the Borderlands, maybe south of Quaggan Isle, somewhere central, imagine a hill. Not just any hill, but The Hill. You can’t build siege on this hill. There’s a shield around the hill, a bubble, so siege fire can’t get in. There’s nothing on the hill but a capture point at top and a spire. However, that capture point gives points somewhere between, say, a tower and a keep every tick. If you own the top of the hill, you get the points, and the spire shines a beacon of the color that owns the hill. If you claim the spire, you give the entire map a small bonus (less than controlling a structure, but map-wide). All you have to do to cap it is, like a sentry point, be the only ones in the circle. Kings of The Hill.

Terrible idea.

I think it would be great. A lot of people would like it. Especially the no siege part. It would add another dimension to the game.

I don’t know about a map bonus though. I don’t think we need any more mechanisms that make the strong stronger. We actually need something to help out the weaker team, but that’s a completely different subject.

Something like this would also work in the wasted space that is the NW and NE of the BL maps.

But its not going to happen because it appears that Anet cannot alter the maps…

this is a really good idea, it would take away from the zerg crush idea and feel more like a constant defence, i have a better idea though, what if the team only gets the effects as long as someone is standing in the circle, that way it would be like shouting “hey look and enemy” xD i think that would add a really unique twist to wvw

Awesome idea, one simple way to implement it would be to make the JP’s count for PPT.
