Guild Wars 2

imagine if you were to find out that anet were going to make drastic changes to wvw by changing the map size from where it is currently today into a bigger map , kinda like the size of daoc use to be , would you be happy with the change , or not happy about it ?

one of the great things about daoc’s rvr was its huge map that you played on , it encouraged more strike teams , more small team fights and epic zergs , there were a lot of ground to cover based on the towers and small keeps to castles , a lot of roamers also enjoyed the full scale of the rvr map from daoc that it enforced more tactical combat when two or three forces waged war against each other . with the current size of the wvw maps in gw2 i get that big fish in a small pond feeling compared to that big fish in a big ocean feeling i got from daoc’s rvr ,,, i know some of you are likely to say to me that if i liked daocs rvr so much why don’t i go back to it ? and the answer is i would if there was no monthly fee for that game , but unfortunate it is a p2p still after all these years .

what is your thoughts ?

They already stated that the maps are the biggest they could make with the technology they had at their disposal… Stop asking for bigger maps.

Didn’t play DAOC. Played WAR which had maps about the same size (factoring in the mounts) as this and spent few weeks playing ESO which has monster sized maps. I have to say, I don’t like the larger map. Too much running from encounter to encounter and back from nearest spawn if/when you get killed.

Just personal preference, ofc, but the maps are just about right as is. At most I would support making them 10-15% bigger but that is only on high pop realms. EotM is already a pretty good sized map and you can spend a lot of time there not running into anybody to fight…same on the current maps.

T1 might agree with you but for the other worlds, you can run a long time before you get a decent fight. If you want to make the maps feel larger… take out waypoints.
