Hey,
While iti s welcoming to see new borderland map, there are some major things need to be conisdered when making this kind of map.
1. How big the map should be? – in the beta testing, the number one problem that been reported is how big the map is. This is the most biggest issue here since borderland maps are often used by roaming parties, and solo roaming guys. while high pop servers (t1-2) maybe could fill in the map, other tiers just wont find somone to fight that often since the large size of this map.
TLDR – roaming parties and solo roamers would not find fights often which will lead to ppl abandoning the map for EB which will lead to map emptyness.
2. Multi layered map – it is a nice change to have this multi layered objectives, though I think it is way complex than it should be. all the switches, larger objectives places, some supply depots that are far from gates, make defending and attacking really hard thus discouraging small groups to actually defend or attack certain objective.
TLDR – too much complex that makes defending and attracking very tiresome.
3. Camps – I dont see the reason why you made the camp cap more diffcult than EB camps, let the solo roamers(if there will be) have thier contribute.
All above is enough reasons on thier own that common roamer or low pop wvw guild would avoid getting into the new wvw map you created which is amazingly beutiful and well designed!
Already been like 2 hours on the new map and I barly seen ppl and this is on launch!
I hope you would consider these posts and thanks for all you’ve done in this xpac it is really amazing and rich with content! Thank you!
