yefluke.3168 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 We have played the same maps for quite a long long times. Its time to get some new maps. PvP need some love. Are there any chance at all??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witcher.3197 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes, a new desert map is being developed in case the previous desert maps weren't enough. At this rate I don't even care.. Anet only wants to make fucking desert maps and I'm tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old capricorn, new capricorn, skyhammer, coliseum. And before you say "bUt CoLiSeUm Is NoT iN a DeSerT" - it IS desert themed, or what else would you call it? Alpine? lol It's the aesthetics that matter and it's clearly sand-themed at the very least Same with Skyhammer. It's in a fucking desert how is that not desert themed? It has Sand Wurms ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPuppy.8970 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'd like a volcano theme map with burning nodes, or a forest like Echovald with lots of LoS potential. Maybe nodes with trees in them so rangers and deadeyes can't idly 111 you safely from afar. Why do cap points have to be so bland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has Sand Wurms kitten At the moment there is only the remade Capricorn and it has literally no desert in it nor around it. Have you ever seen actual Coliseums? They all had sand in it, even though not being located anywhere near desert. Bit of Sand doesn't make Desert nor desert theme. I once saw someone on Forums claiming, In all seriousness, that Spirit Watch is a sand/beach themed map, just because there was a little sand as a "beach".

I once saw someone on Forums claiming, In all seriousness, that Spirit Watch is a sand/beach themed map, just because there was a little sand as a "beach". Look you can say whatever you want, I for one am just extremely tired of sand-themed maps. They all seem the same to me and I never liked them in the first place. You can say coliseum has sand because X and Capricorn has sand because Y I really don't give a shit. Can we stop pretending that it's impossible to make a map that isn't at least 50% covered in desert sand? I just want to see something aesthetically different for once..

Rym.1469 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Comment from 20 days ago from Ben. Essentially, at that point they had secondary mechanic left to streamline, map layout finished, playtested it and most of the missing stuff was the fluff. There was probably some progress since then. And we know that the large custom arena is aimed for 10v10 or 15v15, but it was a comment from twitch chat I believe. Paging @"Ben Phongluangtham.1065" in case he has some further news or wants to correct the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggityzog.7389 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 oooooh yay! another big map with just 3 little circles to dance around and spam aoe on. So much fun... Trust me it wont be exciting lol. They are more concerned about throwing out as much buyable crap flashy skins then they are with making pvp enjoyable. It's a buisness and pvp is the last thing on their mind. The part time unpaid intern working on pvp can only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 5v5 has made progress. We've made secondary mechanic adjustments and some map adjustments based on our internal playtests. We need another playtest and then are waiting for a lot of our requests from other teams. (FX, VO, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
