Dont rush to vote on this one, because there are TWO options for the simultaneous option, so make sure you read it carefully before voting.

DBL will be part of wvw regardless of the results. I chose simultaneous, because I would rather it be limited to one map for more variety for people, so this way we can have more choice and 3 different maps. If we have a rotation every 3 months or so, we only have the dbl as a borderland which is not something I personally want, I would rather choose to play on Alpine personally speaking.

I think they both count as yes. They are gathering two metrics and sub-dividing one. It will come down to rotating versus simultaneous maps.

A NO vote actually means you will have 3 months of DBL when it comes around where as the YES vote means ABL and DBL are up with differing mixes of how many of each.

The base poll remains, all of one type of borderland with a rotation or both types are always up, hence why there are two YES options.

I like the idea of simultaneous, however IMO, I think a third distinctive BL should be created eventually, with the goal of making each BL one of the 3, randomly picked for each match up. IMO, the simplest method would be, this week all the Red BLs are ____, but I think having it completely random for each of the match ups would be even better.

If yes wins, I hope Anet would be willing to reverse the decision (or take another poll to reverse it) if it proves to be a disaster.

And it could very well be a complete disaster if Desert turns out to be way easier to defend than Alpine. Thus giving the Desert server a big advantage. Or if Desert is always empty so that server basically gets to keep their entire BL all week.

Whether you agree with it or not there are enough people out there that do like Desert Borderland, not to mention I can’t see Anet scrapping something they’ve worked on over a year. This poll is about appealing to both camps and letting the community decide how they want Desert back in. If you dislike it your best option is Simultaneous: 2 Alpine + 1 DB. This way you never have to set foot in Desert if you didn’t want to.

And trust me, I won’t. This will only contribute to bigger queues on the other maps and since queues were already a problem with world linking…. how is this considered a good idea?

The Mixed borderland options creates a way for them to have 3 different maps up at the same time. So voting that way allows that options and ways to future test new maps as they are designed versus the previous method where only a handful were in to test in advance of release.

yes please more different maps!!! alpine + desert + a new one would be awesome! and change the maps so they have a more fair layout like on eternal battle grounds!

Btw why do you only accept changes in your polls above 75%? oO shouldn’t it be 50%?
I mean currently there are 50%+10% for rotation and 30% against it. Twice as much people are for it, than against it. And it wont be accepted? Seems not fair :P

Also I guess you should clarifiy the options, guess ppl won’t realize they actually have desert borderlands for 3 months every 3 month

Yep, enough ppl liked it so much that it’s basically empty all the time and you don’t run into anyone else in it for hours at a time. And on higher tier servers it’s basically treated as an overflow map like EotM on reset nights.

If they’re gonna appeal to the minority on this then I’d like to see them undo world linking too on a rotational basis.

lol… I prefer the DBL’s… and if this happens I expect they will be much like the DBL’s were before.. actually probably even more deserted unfortunately… I would love DBL’s with action… but if there is a mix then at least there will be some easy pickin’s… unless people decide to go to their DBL and defend it.. unlike in the past… :P

Basically what I’m saying is that with a mix it’s more likely that people will go to wherever the Alpine BL’s are and EB and mostly leave the DBL alone… That’s my bet anyway…

What I don’t understand is why so many people (up to now) have chosen rotating. Should you like DBL or not, rotating means that every 3 months, you have a map you like less. And for people who enjoy both, isn’t it better to be able to chose the map when you want, instead of waiting a quarter ?

. The down side of both maps running simultaneously is the possibility of imbalance between the maps;

So you admit you know nobody will go play on the desert BL, everyone will stack on alpines. Then why do you still insist to have this map in WvW? And even propose to be updated each 3 months. 3 months of dead WvW.

Some players actually do enjoy the desert borderlands, so stop whining about how you’d like to see it gone. I voted [Yes 1: 2 Alpine, 1 Desert] because I know many players will just want to blob Alpine, so for those of use who like both maps, it may be possible to play Desert without blob, Alpine without blob, or Alpine with blob. Maximum choice. Yes 2 would just result in Alpine with blob, 2 Deserts without blob, and maximum whine.

I appreciate your sentiment, but if you prefer DBL over ABL you should vote that way since this is also a mini-poll on people that like DBL as well. You can always go back in to change your vote. That’s why they are combining the YES votes to compare to the NO (rotation) votes.

“Today we’re here to ask about the future of the borderlands maps in WvW. The current plan is to rotate the active borderlands map with each quarterly update. The alternative option is to have both Alpine and Desert Borderlands running simultaneously. The down side of both maps running simultaneously is the possibility of imbalance between the maps; the upside is more choice and variety of which map to play on.

As before, we’re looking for a 75% of those voting either “Yes” or “No” to agree to make the change that both borderlands should be available simultaneously. If 75% agree “Yes”, the most popular “Yes” option will be chosen.

Do you believe that having both borderlands running simultaneously would be a superior game experience compared to rotating border lands each quarter?"

OH right. I thnink this has already been anwered cause people stopped playying cause the “new” bl’ s came out.

not sure this is important, the votes ANET will get will not represent the masses that wll not play the DB borderlands.

Even the way the question is asked goes to show how the devs really want to cling on to something that the everyday player refused, who can blame them, its alot of work for nothing.

I am not a fan of dbl, but regardless it is going to be part of wvw. So I voted for the simultaneous implementation for several reasons. I think its the best option, more variety having 3 different maps, more choice for those like me who dont like dbl so we can choose to stay on alpine because if we get rotation ALL borderlands are replaced with the desert map instead of just one. And also there are people who do like the dbl and also considering all the work that was put into it. I think the 2alpine/1dbl/1eb path is the best way to go.

Are there a few people that like dbl? yes.
Were they enough to keep wvw alive? clearly not
Just rotate dbl with eotm map each quarter.

Absolutely Yes (variant 1). Many of us want to NEVER set foot in DBL, and the simultaneous gives that option (as opposed to rotating, which gives us 3 months of forced DBL, IE 3 months of just hanging out in EBG and EOTM). The amount of players who prefer DBL over alpine, as far as I can tell, will only take up one map’s worth, so leaving the other two as alpine all the time is a better option.

The results doesn’t show which of the two simultaneous options is which.
Can that be changed?

I think they both count as yes. They are gathering two metrics and sub-dividing one. It will come down to rotating versus simultaneous maps.

They are divided on the chart now:

Yes 1 = 2 Alpine + 1 Desert
Yes 2 = 2 Desert + 1 Alpine

Both with different colors. Yet it is stated on the pool that YES will count as one, so Yes 1 + Yes 2 needs to equal 75% or more

What I don’t understand is why so many people (up to now) have chosen rotating. Should you like DBL or not, rotating means that every 3 months, you have a map you like less. And for people who enjoy both, isn’t it better to be able to chose the map when you want, instead of waiting a quarter ?

I dunno, have a nagging feeling many voted for No without reading and thinking that means the Desert borderland won’t return. However, I truly hope am wrong though.

There is no equal to Alpine Bl and there never will be.

Anet isn’t asking which border do you like. They already stated there will be a rotation every 3 months between Alpine and Desert. The Devs are giving us the option of having mixed borders instead of long periods of only one border, that’s all.

Remember if you vote No, Desert borderland will replace Alpine border in 2 months for a quarter.

Please make a jungle themed map and have true tri-realm play like we had in DAoC. This 3 identical borderlands thing we’ve been dealing with for 3+ years is not true to the original tri-realm design. Each faction having a unique borderland to identify with was a major feature of tri-realm at it’s inception. Red team isn’t just red team, it’s the desert team. Green team isn’t just green team, it’s the jungle team. Blue team isn’t just blue team, it’s the alpine team. This is what WvW needs. If some serious PPT imbalance pops up with one map continuously outperforming for it’s home team, you can make small changes to the maps over time to balance out each map’s keeps and barracks relative difficulty to capture, but I really don’t see that as being a problem to begin with.

If simultaneous borderlands wins, we’d be more likely to work on another borderlands map. So that each team could have a unique borderland, but it’s not something we are currently working on.

Rotation or not. Quarterly is too long (3 months-ish).

Games lose a good chunk of population in about 2 years. MMOs can “linger” for 10 years at best. So 3 month is a significant percentage to a game’s popular life.

1-2 weeks is my preference if there is a rotation.

Side “hard to do” preference: work on the game engine itself so scaling the number of maps is easier to allow for future designs instead of just 3 “home maps” 1 “balanced map.” As populations dwindle the map amount can be scaled if and when servers are merged/die off.

If simultaneous borderlands wins, we’d be more likely to work on another borderlands map. So that each team could have a unique borderland, but it’s not something we are currently working on.

Given this statement I have changed my vote to simultaneous. 3 different BL maps is the dream. Everyone should bear this in mind when voting and you can change your vote later.

I’ll just say this… whatever the result of this poll will be could have huge impact on WvW development in the long term. Particularly when it comes to future expansions. I mean they didn’t exactly say it it, but this poll could be a major factor when they decide if we ever see major map level changes in WvW going forward.

Personally, I’d also rather have the choice on which map to play every time I load into WvW as opposed to being stuck with one of the two existing maps for three months. I also think that WvW is and it should be asymmetric by nature to a degree and as such I don’t see a strict reason to stick with the current two map format in the long term.

Regardless of what I think of DBL, seeing as it was only ever their 4th WvW map I think they did okay, and I believe they have the ability to learn from that, and I would want to see them eventually be able to develop new substantial WvW content such as the maps with confidence, because without that confidence eventually WvW will hit a glass ceiling in terms of the kind of content they can add in an expansion for example.

No vote for me – there was no option to remove DBL from WVW just as there never was a vote to put it in.
All of the available options will limit my playtime.
Not gonna chase down more information a dev makes on reddit, twitter, facebook, or other random site instead on the actual poll/site where people vote.
If you are not going to use your own forums get rid of them.

Just to clarify. The Simultaneous Borderlands is a system that better supports a third map, than the rotation strategy. So an additional map would be more likely in that respect. However, our development priorities are still community driven. We wouldn’t start building another WvW map unless it was put to a vote, and won.
