However, we're still waiting for those resources to come to fruition as we still haven't seen a new map, but perhaps it is just taking a backseat to class balancing and server/alliance restructuring. Gee, sounds kinda like what I mentioned - although I missed whatever poll you speak of... But to everyone else, this was exactly my ****ing point when I said and MEAN that "WE the players - WERE/ARE in the WRONG" on this one... And I am not talking about myself here; I'm one of the ones who was like "lets give this map a chance" while almost literally EVERYONE else was like "don't like it".. I'm like DUDE seriously, you haven't even explored it all yet... Enter my comment about people being TOO LAZY TO LEARN IT... !!! Yes, that has been the PRIMARY reason from what I have seen w/ my own eyes... Was people NOT even giving it a chance... And you kittens expect ANet to continue to make new maps for WvW, after a good percentage of the LAZY kitten playerbase literally slapped them in the face over DBL Look in the mirror and GROW UP... I must admit, looking at some of these "stats" thrown around - has me literally laughing quite hard... That you all are going to argue over a maps popularity with graphs and flow-charts and statistics... DUDE IT'S A GAME (was never quite sure why all that CRAP is tracked in the first place)... It's not like some HUGE eSports thing where you're going to win a million dollars for winning or having "better numbers" in ANY given 'category' /facepalm God, and I thought I was a geek! Here I just wanna hop in and play a game; not argue over graphs flow charts and powerpoint presentations of DATA collected over PREVIOUS (GAME) play... (TL;DR) But seriously, I do not blame ANet one bit; after what "WE" did to them (that whole slap in the face), and I do not expect a new map EVER - PERIOD... Thanks to most of you kittens out there!!! (and BTW I am not saying I like or dislike the DBL, that's not even relevant - the MAIN point of relevancy is/was that: at least I was willing to give it a chance while all you morons that were like ~ "NOPE DONT LIKE IT", like 10 minutes in...!!!!

I just had (couldn't resist) to correct you on that, you're wrong. The game officially opened to the public for 3-day head-start on the 25th of August, 2012 (for people who pre-ordered or pre-purchased), and on the 28th of August, 2012 for those who didn't preorder or prepurchase... The rest seems correct :) And EoTM (as DEAD as it is now-a-days) is a "WvW 'megaserver'" and the way it works is; if your team is RED this week in "REAL" WvW, then you're going to be RED in EoTM too... So the ONLY way you'd be able to "meet up" with friends from other servers, AND "be on the same team"; well, they'd also have to be on a "home world" that is the same "color" that week. Then it *would* work ;) :) But yes, WvW is literally the ONLY reason for "home world" now so, there's NO reason that EVERYONE shouldn't be able to organize on ONE specific server together, whether friends, guild, etc... > @"Faenar.8036" said: > Short answer: No. Not possible. > > Long answer: WvW works a little bit differently than the rest of the game. **_~~At game launch (year 2013)~~_**, everyone had their "Home Server" chosen at the character creation. Everyone you saw in any map, was exactly from the same server. After some time, ArenaNet released "megaserver principle" - mixing up the entire region (NA, and second region, EU) playerbase into one "mega server", to get rid of low-populated mapzone instances. > > WvW, for obvious reasons, cannot become "megaservered", "Home Server" still apply for WvW, and only players from the very same server (or, if WvW-linked, then from linked server too) can join themselves in same WvW map. Still, you can have ppl from different servers in the party (considered as"potentional spying activity" by hardcore WvW ppl), but they cannot join the same side, and would be by game engine considered as enemies, when they will meet themselves for example in EBG map in the case if they will be in the same match-up. Not 100% sure about guild participation, but i think enemies are not considered as "members participating in Guild Event" by the game engine. > > If you really insist on your guild WvW teamwork, the only possible way of all your guildmates would meet in the same map on the same side is that all of them MUST have the same "Home Server". > > Dont know about EotM.

I have a better idea; why not get rid of those PLAIN JANE "alpine borderlands" maps, and make ALL borderlands, again, the desert BL maps! Sorry, NOT sorry; when they first came out [panzies] that didn't wanna learn the new maps QQ'd so hard - and I cannot believe ANet gave in, and got us to the situation we're in now. Where we have ONE DBL and two ABL @.@ The first and best solution IMHO would be to ditch all those old ABL's and MAKE ALL THREE desert BL's... And if people don't wanna play on em, too damn bad! Next best or followup solution IMHO would be to ditch one MORE ABL, and have them design yet one more "new" map, so that ALL of the borderlands are unique... Sorry again not sorry, I can't believe so many people slapped ANet in the face like that when they put so much time and effort into giving us a new map... All a LOT of the playerbase did was INSULT them... YET WE WONDER WHY MANY OF US FEEL THIS GAME MODE IS NEGLECTED... Would you wanna work on something so hard only to have LAZY people that don't want to bother learning new things (because they hold an advantage on maps they already know [which is what it's REALLY about and we all know it]) INSULT you!!!??? Hell no I wouldn't ~ I'd give up on ya too! Then of course these are probably the same people that turn right around and complain "WvW doesn't get [enough/any] attention"; GEE I WONDER WHY... It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that when they tried, a great percentage of the player-base insulted them and or their "work"! "Bu bu but, the new maps are HARD mmkay"; GOOD - NEW content SHOULD be HARD/difficult/challenging...! I do not play games because they're easy... If I wanted easy mode I'd go play doom and IDDQD that ****! Games SHOULD be challenging... Funny I just got done explaining to a friend (who has never played an MMO) about how just about ANY/EVERY MMO is MOST fun when they first launch. Because nobody has yet figured out how to "abuse" anything in it! When it's CHALLENGING to EVERYONE...! Then of course they dwindle over time because people start to abuse whatever they can! Even if it's something as simple as knowing a map like the back of their own hands! If they REALLY wanted to spice it up, they could come out with ALL new maps every X duration (year or two or so or whatever they decided)! THAT would be really interesting! But also, a LOT of WORK!
