Guild Wars 2

The new maps will initialy replace the existing borderlands maps, but they will be reintroduced in some form at a later date.

Our snow covered maps going?

This is beyond wrong.

EB is special.

The rest should be different, I agree, but taking them all and replacing them? I totally disagree.

Anyone else feel like this is another Lion’s Arch where some are ok with the massive changes and the rest of us are confused as heck why LA wasn’t pretty in the first place…

EB is gorgeous…. and you’re going to take it rather than expand it or do something else that would make sense?

Dang.

I thought EB would remain? Borders have been stale ever since EoTM (say what you want about instancing, keep design is leaps and bounds better and visually impressive).

EB stays.

A little late to protest me thinks.

The LA changes were done for the story, the Bl map is changing because of… Global warming!

Also I nvr liked the alpine map and wont miss it.

I think “loved” is a bit optimistic.

Agreed.

I have to laugh here.

It’s funny to read this kind of post when we were informed of these changes months ago.

You should keep yourself informed instead of complaining about changes.

I don’t mind the old maps at all, a bit boring now, but not much “new” to do in them. A change will be good, I do not know if they still plan on bringing back the old maps, but when the new BLs were talked about they said the old maps would be removed from rotation and were going to be worked on. I assumed design changes would take place, they are perfectly good maps, and some changes or updates could make them new and fun again, so we will have to wait and see what happens.

new maps? that replaces some of the dark despair of having no wvw tonight (well, a little)

I believe they intend to add different WvW maps for the borderlands in the future, or at least have considered it.

Supposedly, they will revamp the Alpine map and bring it back in the future and possibly have a rotation with the Desert one.

Every time I hear someone say… Catas on hills. I wanna vomit.

When it comes to unexplainable things in GW2 there is generally one answer:

Cos Anet.

Hopefully they’ll fix some of the old bugs before they bring them back ^^ Oh right, I wanted to make a thread about that weeks ago… narf…

I’m thrilled that we get to explore something new just the timing of alpine being switched out for desert when winter is coming (lame pun detected) on the northern hemisphere is a bit off – or is it intended to make us feel warm in front of our screens?

yeah this is all great …..if you wanted to play Eotm….oh wait if i wanted to play that i would….one more step in the grave for this once enjoyable game…

New wvw map = Edge of the mist 2 ,a pve map… tnx anet…
i want back the old Borders!!!!

its a little too much edge of the mist..im all for new.. but this isnt new.. this is large eotm…friday night and i could hear the crickets in wvw.. thats a bleedin first!.

The joy of wvw were the fights…a zerg running around a ginormous map searching for a fight is really sad to watch.. hardcore wvw players reduced to killing mobs and champs..im sorry but its freaking depressing.

Could have spit polished the old maps…made them a tad larger..cleaned up the freaking lag and id rather have put my 50 euros to that cause.. than this.

changing the entire dynamic is ok IF we can actually find a darn fight.

played the new borderlands for 10mins, got really bored from fighting pve mobs.

i just hate myself for buying this expansion…

You didn’t even have to buy the expansion for the new wvw maps….

You do need to buy HoT if you actually want to explore the map…and get the Hero Challenges. You need masteries to get to many places. Fun times, fun times.

Woah, that’s shady. I didn’t even realize this…

Hello anet there is roaming ppl here …..HELLO?

Visually impressive, yeah it is nice that it looks good, but if the instance do not have a good flow, good fights that are easy to move to it will simply have no matter. In the end it is not us standing around watching the pretty map that is wvw, wvw is a game mode were we require above said for it to work.

I am worried, i was worried already at the first beta test and we told about it already there, but nothing changes, so it is what it is, and i guess eb will have long ques.

Yep, I’d leave the “loved” part out.

You don’t need masteries in WvW. The only thing you can’t use without addon is apparently the shield generator.

I used to go back to GW2 every now and then to play around a bit in WvW. Scouting on my usual places, upgrading stuff, placing siege weapons on strategic places, etc. for old times sake.

Now i don’t really feel like going back anymore.
I just don’t have the time to learn all intricacies of these new maps from scratch.
