Guild Wars 2

I tried the new map setup earlier today and found it to be devoid of the fun factor…. probably will be taking a break for a while from most wvw…which is a shame since it is what has made me love the game….. the bloodlust side of the equation is also something of concern since it will drive the two lower scoring servers out of the BLs since the bloodlust buff will make their bad situation even worse…which means most of the smart ones will decide it is not worth their time to venture out there since not only will they be outnumbered but for most of their time they will likely be facing the negative end of the buff.

Map Changes – No. Lake was cool for cover etc….now it is ALL CLUTTERED making the BL maps even seem smaller…..

Points for Stomps Buff – Yes

+50 Stats Buff – No

yeah the middle is so “cluttered” now

Sad day….. a lake replaced with a sPVP map… if I wanted to play sPVP I would be doing that…..not a fan of having it forced upon us.

Bloodlust buffing the dominat server of the week! Not sure how that ever sounded like a good idea….after all the dominant server usually has the numbers advantage……which will almost always mean they will have the buff.

yeah… the cluttering of the BL maps with essentially a sPvp map in the middle is just going to make the maps seem clausterphobic….and the buff as it is described will be a huge boon to whatever the dominant server of the week is which will result in even more one sided battles….

I am not a fan of the dropping a sPVP map into an already small BL map…. sounds like the approach of a trainwreck in progress….

[Moon] is located on Tarnished Coast……. great guild with lots of friendly and knowledgable people….

If you want spvp, then play spvp. Don’t make WvW as boring and limited as it is too. NO! A thousand times no. If they change it most of us will have no reason to play this game anymore. The majority of WvW players hate spvp which is why we play WvW and not spvp. "

Home run…. could not say it any clearer!

TC is already seeing entire guilds transfer in….. so its not something you can smell, but rather it is something you can see…. It is in progress!

Grevender.9235:

on paper, these changes looks interesting because roamers will finally have their place in the bigger picture.

Sorry… I practically live in WVW…. this will have the opposite result in my opinion….. the lake area is a place where the smart players or small groups use as cover to sneak north, south, east, or west……but with these new changes there is a much less of a chance to do that… people will stand and scout from above reporting evey move you make… have fun getting jumped soon afterwards by the enemy zerg.

Sorry…..

I do not like the insertion of these new points where the lake currently it… its like CLUTTERVILLE…. If you insist on adding these capture points why not EXPAND the map a little to accomodate this rather than what you are doing? Secondly, the cap system for these new points is pretty much the sPvp style play inserted into WVW….which to be honest makes me question how well this will be received by a lot of the players.

I am on TC…so we will as a server survive this fiasco most likely…however the lower population servers will be driven to their knees as their wvw player base either leaves the server or else they just toss in the towel on wvw all together.

As far as the stomp buff, that is something a lot of people have already reflected on and personally I will have a wait and see attitude regarding that aspect… But the cluttering of the BL maps with essentially a sPvp map dropped into the center of a wvw map is a Trainwreck…..

Don Alosi.2401:

a 5th map would actually be detrimental to low pop servers, which actually struggle to defend their own BL plus EB.

what would it happen if they had to defend another map?

Well thats true… but then again you are completely out of luck in either case since you will have five new waypoints to defend on each of the three normal BL maps… so either way sounds like this is not going to be a Happy change for you and your server.

Not really a huge fan of the changes to the lake region in the three core BL maps…. first now the lake area is really cluttered…. secondly the playstyle being introduced is that of PVP which just seems to contrast the playstyle of the rest of the map.

Why not simply introduce a 5th map with these alternate playstyles if it is something you really want to introduce rather than such a large change to the flow of the older BL maps?

Here is an idea… allow a few players to “guest” on the wvw of a server of a much lower rank… catch would be is that it is TOTALLY random, that you would be going with you and yourself only… Anet could assign these guests to be able to guest on the server they are assigned for the entire day…then tomorrow they would be assigned all over again. Totally voluntary, somewhat increased rewards to the Guesting players for volunteering while there, player could still play on their own server at any time of course.

Just an off the wall idea… but it could help the lower population servers and since you are essentially Guesting ALONE you would not be able to bring a Guild group over as one……. should be a rather balanced solution.

Time to own all the RPers!

How is that working for you Comrade?

Hasn’t he already had to explain this twice? Jeez.
’It’s going great, I was killin all the doodz, this is what the doodz gave me [insert dolla dolla] So yeah, it’s going well’

Meaning no respect…perhaps English is not your First/Primary Language…but your message makes little sense……

Grats on taking our Garrison, before you guys spam the thread

We tried to get ppl to come but it was already to late :P

Behold the terrible price of getting greedy and trying to cap and hold Maguuma’s entire borderland, the culling will continue into the week. I have 125 omegas to donate to make sure of it.

Your great offensive was impressive for the entire 10 minutes before it lost steam… as for your Golems, they have offensive punch, but without defense they are Paper Dragons…. your capture of Garri didnt even last a tick on tcbl this time….

Anyways I hope you are able to start and persist in your offensive move as we all TCBL enjoy the battles Win or Lose.

Not going to get involved in the negative banter….

Only wanted to point out that Silver Moon [Moon] guild has been representing/contributing for TC force each and every day…..
