WvW Map Change Coming
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.
No communication about upcoming changes/updates: RAGERAGERAGE
Some communication about upcoming changes updates without an ETA: still RAGERAGERAGE
Jeeze it is NEVER EVER ok is it? Just arguing for the sake of arguing or not.
Well said Osu.

Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.
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.
This WvW maintenance period will be beginning shortly; likely within the hour.
I can’t wait for hours long garri fights, big open field battles, and a map that isn’t labyrinthine and filled with gimmicks.

woot skill lag inc. get ready to spam the only skill that works in massive fights and that is the 1 button
I have a feeling this is going to be bad. Just saying. I hope I’m wrong.

This is going to be amazing, it cannot be worst than DBL.
Switching maps is going to royally kitten up my reports. Different objectives with different ids.
But the people want their lag and blob fights.
All I hear is, respawn battles, Lag, never ending blobs, queue times out the kitten . Shield generators protecting entire towers, and Hardened Gates on Hills.
Oh yeah, and blood lust.

Make Alpine Great Again! #MAGA
WvW will re-enable and spin up Alpine maps not long after the new build is available.
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!
Oh yeah and smaller map size. Did I say Blobs?
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.

Oh wow, this has made my day. Pretty much stopped playing WvW on the new maps, just never really appealed or enjoyed them, drunk or sober :P
Thank you ANet! Back to work happy dance

To quote the great philosopher C. R. Jepsen: I really really really really really really like you.
Still cant confirm or deny xD
why does it have to be one or the other? I like both maps….

Dang, I should have stayed in the BDlands more often this week… Going to miss them, however short the period they’re gone will be.
WvW is available again with the alpine borderlands.
