Guild Wars 2

A new map. No objectives, just rolling golf course like hills and a sparse amount of structure. A main place for everyone to have some good fights, “emain” if you will.

Somehow after reading the title of this I thought it was going to be a link to a beta for some other game. With that being said, without some sort of frontier (new or old-DAoC at this point) that is persistent, doesn’t reset every X days, and is open to everyone on every server at all times, I don’t see wvw “improving” at all. Fortunately, I still enjoy reset night, like the community I play with and have nothing else to do at the moment…sooo…yeah.

so your solution to the various problems in WvW is… another mode which has nothing at all to do with WvW.?

Yes indeed!

they should redo the WvW maps to be like DAoC New Frontiers: one big zone where you can only zone into your own borderland, and have to run through eternal bg (agramon) to get to the other servers’ borderlands.

and make them bigger so roamers have room fight without being in the path of a keep taking zerg.

He’s just looking for what everyone else is, a place to GvG that doesn’t kitten off people who’d rather see them accomplishing WvW goals

Precicely. Everyone comes away happy.

Sorry, but that’s kitten All you’d have is one mass battle in the middle with no tactical content to offset uneven populations. One mindless zerg against another with everyone going ranged (guaranteed … it happens in every similar situation in other games).

I disagree. Plenty of other games developed interesting and rather unpredictable play. All the zergers are going to go pvdoor anyway.

Something without side-objectives like gathering nodes and skritt events.

Not by plopping everyone down in the middle of a field with no objectives. Name one that did.

Agramon island in daoc was nothing but open space with no strategic worth whatsoever.

It was a hub. If you prefer arena style play, fine … but that isn’t “the obvious solution” to WvW.

You know what you could do? Resub that one game and do this, in Emain. THE REAL DEAL!

the obvious solution → play theif

Already done and shelved it for the Mesmer.

And I’ll play daoc when you template my bard out thanks in advance~~

You’re getting a template tonight and driving me around, you taxi.

Cut and paste, and light edit, from the sandbox thread:

As for GW2, it would be really nice if Anet were to cater to each of the PvP personalities since there isn’t just one.
*Those that would love a true sandbox experience (persistent world, possibly done by player created structures/weapons, requires tactics/planning/team cooperation, etc)
*Those that would like a free for all pit just to bash people and maybe one or two simple objectives (like Alterac Valley)
*Those that would like a free for all pit with NO objectives (Open field of killing)
*Those that like solo/small team PvP (sPvP or tournament PvP)

Most importantly, have these all separated. That way, when you join, you know what is expected of you. I would hope this would minimize the types of complaints we see from various mindsets (the tactician vs the zerglord, and the hard-fought reward seeker vs the “if it’s easy, it’s fun” crew).

I thought the obvious solution to all of our problems was DAoC? I keep hearing it so frelling often…
