Guild Wars 2

I also think three different themed maps would be a great update to WvW. However, since the north half of Alpine BL is is snowy mountain paths, a Shiverpeaks themed BL doesn’t make sense.

My idea is:

Red=Desert
Green=Alpine
Blue=Tropical

The Tropical BL could take themes, and even some model assets, from classic Lion’s Arch and the surrounding zones. The north half of the map and one keep could be Lion’s Arch themed while the south and other keep can be pirate themed. Look to Gendarran Fields and Bloodtide Coast for inspiration. This would tie in the varying types of lands found in the main pve map.

Hi everyone!

I am a Guild Wars veteran and still enjoy the great work that ArenaNet produces. Looking back to the days of the original Guild Wars, a strong highlight of that series was the hands-on connection players had with the studio and the game. I am specifically referring to the “Design-a-Weapon” Contests that were held several times. I believe it was a great way to challenge the artistic players and make them feel part of the studio’s designing process.

Bringing back this popular event today would take the original basis and idealize it. With the improved modeling possibilities that is available through the Guild Wars 2 engine, the final fan designs can be fully brought out. With “Heart of Thorns” on the way, this could be a method to creating a new series of Exotic or Legendary Weapons.

The chosen winners would receive in and out-of-game prizes, including the skin of their designed weapon mailed to their in-game account. That way the winners can enjoy using their own weapon right away before any other player. I believe this talented community would love to take part in this old tradition again.

Thank you for the consideration,

Frost
