I’m sure its been asked before, and I understand that this is something that would take a long time to create/implement, but it would be nice to know if this is something to look forward to in WvWs future. At least new BLs. Changes like the ruins is not what I’m talking about. I just want something completely different, maybe with a Crystal Desert feel to it or even Ring of Fire type of terrain.

I feel emotions when I think about you.

Yeah, I would love to see new maps, maybe roll them out after each season, so we can have a nice variety.

That being said, it does take time to build these maps and test them. Takes money too, lots of it. I think the WvW team would have to really make a convincing argument to be able to get the money and resources (extra peeps) that it takes to make more WvW maps.

It is clear that PvE is where the money is at, so they need to prioritize that first. And, if anyone wants to argue that, just go around your own server, and see how many people are on, doing PvE related things. Then, look how many of them actually do WvW? It isn’t a huge percentage.

I’m not in a WvW guild, but I do run as a pug everyday in WvW (and, I am a smart pug that gets on TS, so I can listen to the commanders). I have over 30 active people in my guild, and maybe about 3 or 4 of us actually will WvW every week, and most of the guild doesn’t even enter WvW (or sPvP at that).

In regards to your post.

I think the maps, as they are laid out are fine. By this I mean where all the towers, camps and keeps are in relation to each other.

It could be refreshing to have the maps “reskinned” perhaps at the start of each season.

As a wvw’er I don’t care much for the living story line, but perhaps reflect what is going on in the living story in the WvW maps, at the start of each season?

Not gonna happen, mostly because of lame attitudes like the one you display.. a few devs spent weeks making the new BL edit and the general reaction is always “meh, I want more/better/different”

making new maps/zones is the least productive way anet devs can their spend time. they could spend the next 6 months on a whole new set of 4 unique maps and the reaction would still be “meh, I want more/better/different”.

I wonder if the ruins additions counted as new maps?
