Guild Wars 2

I don’t know about everyone else, but I grew tired of the WvW maps quite quickly. Everything got very familiar, and my experiences all started to become very similar.

I think it would be really cool if in the future, each server(or world) had a unique home map, that was themed towards the name of the server. This would make WvW much more interesting when servers climb(or fall down) the ladder, you would start to see new places that you haven’t encountered before.This opens up possibilities for different, more interesting environments, new things to do, and most importantly a fresh experience once in a while in WvW.

There also has been a problem for when one server dominates, there’s little traction for the losing sides to gain. In addition to new maps there could be events that trigger when one side has reached a threshold of power. This event will spawn a creature(or creatures) that will attack keeps/garrisons of the dominant server. This could be even further varied by the event boss(es) being different, depending on the server(world).

This not only rewards the stronger server by giving them an event that can yield rewards, but also gives the other worlds an opportunity to strike while they’re preoccupied. Better yet the two other sides might try to claim the rewards for defeating the creature themselves! Everyone wins.

I think WvW is great, but I think it could be even more great!

This would be practically impossible to balance and require massive amounts of modelling and texturing.

Also I think most people are on the side of removing the PvE aspects of WvW

Not saying it wouldn’t be cool, just practically it probably wouldn’t work.

I love this idea. Blackgate server would have a huge gate of some sort. Tarnished Coast would be one huge coastline. And Sea of Sorrows would be a map filled with perma-stealth thieves.

I thought about the balance between different maps, but there are 3 different maps to play on at any given time in WvW in addition to the Eternal Battlegrounds, so I don’t really think balance would be a very big issue.

The event idea is actually very similar to what was done in Aion with fort sieges. In that game a big ship would drop NPCs onto a vulnerable fort and the NPCs would claim the fort. It would have worked well, but sadly it was possible to bug and defend against easily, so it never really worked that well as a balancing measure.

One thing is for sure. If there’s a possibility of loot, people WILL come. No matter how many forts need to be defended. So I think that events like that would be a good start, especially with the few maps that WvW currently takes place in.

Yeah, because the servers are totally not named after actual locations!

…

Black Gate is a Ogre Camp in Grimm Hills area in the Fields of Ruin. Tarnished Coast is around the Asura and Sylvari home areas. As for Sea of Sorrows, just hit M. Its directly south of Lions Arch.

IIRC the original idea was that there would be a rotating series of WvW maps but anet couldn’t implement it in time. hopefully its something they’re still looking at for the future.

I wonder if it would be possible for servers to team up. For instance, have a US and an EU server be the same color, and they’d fight two other US/EU “teams.” This would probably require more or bigger maps, which brings me to my second suggestion: more or bigger maps.
