Guild Wars 2

I want to add some thoughts contrary to some of the stuff posted in this thread regarding the Desert Borderlands.

As a commander who’s been in T1/T2 that has led a consistent group and pugmanded on both maps, a lot of people we work with have adjusted to and favor the Desert Borderlands more than Alpine. The variety of fights that we get are much more diverse and we enjoy that more than just face-slamming on a flat plain over and over again.

However, there are some things that I would like to see addressed in the Desert Borderlands map:

Give more meaning to the towers and likely reposition them. For example, on Alpine the northern towers on the map gave a foothold to an enemy’s garrison (you can treb garri from the northern towers) and also provided watch over the routes between the paths towards garrison. South West tower on Apline also allowed you to attack Bay.

The towers on the DBLs only really provide PPT and no tactical advantage at all.

The solution to this is to shrink the oasis and shift the towers closer inward. Make some objectives in the way of others so a foothold can be achieved.

Another suggestion: diminish or remove the Oasis event. At least in T2 when we had Oasis events whenever an Oasis event was about to begin, most opposing forces dogpile onto the map to break open or weaken most objectives on a map. The event favors who has the most forces to split up and take cores, and it also is a highly laggy event. Since it has been disabled, WvW has been more enjoyable and more focused.

If you are bringing Alpine back at some point (and it has been mentioned it will be a lot of work to bring it back), make sure to revamp it and fix some of the problems that map had. For example, there are invulnerable trebuchet spots at the home citadel that can easily attack NE and NW towers. Before HoT’s release on Alpine, we saw these invlun spots being heavily abused, preventing any counter play to prevent the enemy from taking their tower back.

I’m personally fine with a possible rotation of the maps, but I don’t want to see Desert Borderlands going away as it provides a lot more tactics and fight variety. It just needs tweaks.

Thank you for addressing the WvW community and keep the communication channels open.

Flux Capacity is a PvX guild formed in 2011, comprised of like-minded individuals, seeking friendship, fun, and completing content together. We aim to maintain a somewhat casual atmosphere, so that we can reach our goals without placing unreasonable demands on our time, while still progressing and experiencing all that GW2 has to offer.

We have an active core group, and host guild events five times a week (guild missions, WvW, dungeons & fractals, and more) as well as unscheduled dungeons, fractals, and team WvW grouping throughout the week. We have all guild missions and upgrades unlocked.

We are a part of the “Tarnished Coast Cross Guild Initiative”, a collaborative alliance between multiple small to mid sized guilds on Tarnished Coast to work together as a combined team and improve in the WvW game mode.

We enjoy helping out new 80s and returning players, so don’t be discouraged if you feel like you aren’t experienced enough to join us. Some of our events are geared precisely towards helping inexperienced players! As long as you are willing to learn, have fun, and participate, FLUX is excited to have you, and we hope you’ll be just as excited to explore content that may be new to you.

If you are interested, you can learn more about us at http://fluxcapacity.enjin.com and apply at http://fluxcapacity.enjin.com/join or contact Ryvalia (alacritythief.9756), Akhet Sunbringer (akhet.6527), Okale Refor (okalevi.2917), or Lelibel (lel.4723) in game via mail or whisper.

Can confirm that it’s deleting API keys that it’s being fed, and now I can’t create any new API keys on my account.

Flux Capacity is a PvX guild comprised of like-minded individuals, seeking friendship, fun, and completing content together in Guild Wars 2. We believe that being casual should not mean that we are not able to progress and experience all that this game has to offer, such as dungeons, PvP, and WvW. However, we also want to maintain a fairly casual atmosphere, so that we can reach these goals without sacrificing our real lives or placing unreasonable demands on our time.

Flux Capacity was founded by friends who have played together in other MMOs who were former officers, experienced gamers and guild masters. Our last adventures had us together in Rift and Star Wars the Old Republic, but have ventured on to explore the world of Guild Wars 2. We have been on the Tarnished Coast since the launch of GW2. New members are more than welcome to join us. No application is needed to join the guild as a recruit.

We have an active core group, and we host guild events five times a week (please see the website for a list of events). We have all guild missions and upgrades unlocked.

We are looking for new members to fill out our ranks for frequent fractal runs and for our WvW havoc squad.

If you are interested, you can learn more about us and apply at http://fluxcapacity.enjin.com , or contact Ryvalia (alacritythief.9756), Akhet Sunbringer (akhet.6527), Okale Refor (okalevi.2917), or Lelibel (lel.4723) in game via mail or whisper with general questions.

I wanted to update here that we are still recruiting, and looking for more members! Some great people have joined us thus far. We run guild events (like zone farming and WvW) twice a week, and run exp mode dungeons (like Arah) almost every night!

No application is needed to join the guild as a recruit, but it does help let us know who to invite when Council leaders log in. Again, you may contact me in game @ alacritythief.9756, or visit http://www.fluxcapacity.enjin.com .
