Are the orbs coming back? No. Are we bringing back the buff? Yes, although the way you get it and hold it is going to be drastically different. Are you going to see a major map change in concert with this? Yes. Is it coming soon? Most definitely.

larger battle grounds. Make the current wvw maps into one map and add other maps, make it so the zergs cant do as much.

Most likely refers to the fact that they are doing something (removing ?) the lake in the borderlands.

Could be, although one can hope for better improvements*

• Might not be considered an improvement by all

If they replace BL lakes with ground that would be awesome.

Maps way too small, zergs way too big

In saying making the current WvW maps one, would you also merge the population caps? If not, how would you expect people to cover that much ground with the current map population caps? Also are you say that zergs should not be able to defend all the objectives they take?

To me, it seems you have posted a incomplete thought. This sounds like you think WvW is to hard so we should make it easier to take objectives by making so the zergs can’t defend everything. I’m just saying that “just making the maps bigger” isn’t going to fix the current issues with WvW. Merging maps is a bad idea because the current maps were made this way for a reason.

Give them time, they are planning a change to the middle island so that may be the start to changing the WvW maps.

I am a fan of the game and I try not to get all kitteny about upcoming changes, but it won’t surprise me if they end up putting in an underwater tower. From their perspective it would add a “new dimension” to WvW play. Course few like underwater fights so it would be something else to complain about.

I am really hoping it is something fun just trying to prepare myself for a let down kitten many features added to WvW have been… looking at you character bound WxP.

No I would not merge the population caps, the reason for this is to make it so that zergs (easy mode) would be broken up and would require smaller groups and coordination to defend what they have.

The population could be increased slightly say 1.5 of the current cap. Another way to curb this could be have waypoints power diminish the further from ones own starting keep. So that only x amount of players can wp in at each distance per minuet or three. Although they could still hoof it.

So no defiantly not saying WvW is to hard, it is to easy for the server with the larger zerg. Would look at making it more strategic then just going with the herd.

Well that just made me want to get a drink…..under water tower bleh. Sadly I could see anet doing something like this…..thank you Straegen for the depressing thought.

I don’t think the mmaapp iiss(stupid word filter) small it self.

Most of the stuff that we fight over is in the southern half of the map.

Get rid of the PvE stuff in the northern corners of the map and expand the middle south portion of the maps and move citadel northish.

You guys know that the game engine is incapable of handling maps larger than they currently are, right??

I was not aware of that failure er limitation. It is to bad they didn’t plan it better.

I want Ebonhawke to be a WvW map.

There will always be limitations. No matter how well you plan something.
