When I read these reactions, it becomes crystal clear why anet usually does not announce big changes well in advance. You all are like a bunch of toddlers with zero patience. When told you are going to get something you want in the future, rationally, you should be happy. I want that and I am going to get that, so that is a good thing, right? However, whenever anet announces we are going to get a good thing in the future, so many of you scream and cry because you aren’t getting it NOW. Grow the f up.

In all fairness we were already told this exact same thing a week ago by Tyler Bearce.

Alpine Borderlands will be rotated back in with the next release (not hotfix.)

This isn’t really news without them telling us a date.

Jeeze it is NEVER EVER ok is it? Just arguing for the sake of arguing or not.

Thanks ANET. Good work team. Sure, we can be a bit patient and wait for the “soon” to arrive.

Oh my god people, you are impossible to please…. If the devs stay silence you whine, If the devs talk… you whine…. If the devs listen to us… you whine….

for kitten sake… this is a game… play or quit… but stop complaining about EVERYTHING.

Thanks Gaile Gray for the update.

So can the old alpine maps hold as many players as the new maps? Or will the map queues be longer now?

That’s the 1 million dollar question. No one knows the exact numbers of players allowed. Anet never revealed that info.

Did You read “rage” somewhere in my post? I’m just pointing out that hearing it will be back "soon"once a week isn’t news. Especially when in the past “soon” has taken months or even years.

It seems to me that the more players you have close to you, the greater the lag becomes. So I would expect the carrying capacity of those smaller maps to be less simply because of lag.

Switching maps is going to royally kitten up my reports. Different objectives with different ids.

But the people want their lag and blob fights.

We’ll actually be able to have multiple objective sieges again, open field fights, well paced respawn times and a map that encourages players to come together and murder each other.

I am most excited!

The DBLs were already turning into a blob-fest, because running solo or in a small group was suicide when going around all the blind spots on the map and running into enemy zergs. If the BLs had the same size as the DBL but without all the maze-like chokepoints, that would allow smaller groups more avenues of escape and less chance of being surprised.
