The mobs in alpine and EB are perfect because they stand as a way to stop solo players/smallgroups instantly capping objectives, but are weak enough as to not affect player vs player fighting. The lord in the lava keep for instance has a ridiculous amount of AOE crowd control which greatly impacts fights in the lords room. > > If I want to pve, I'd go and play pve.

I was onboard for new maps before the abomination that was the old desert BL came out. Please not again. Please. I do agree with that as well, but if they changed the game a little bit, and given the right mechanics for decent wvw gameplay I think new maps could be done, but this is if only Anet knew to deploy mechanics that are jus aoe spam skills.... If they had decent intentions of bringing decent gameplay and behavior ofc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celsith.2753 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'd be more willing to go to this map if it didnt drop my framerate so much and make me lag out. I see all the sparkles in the air in the middle area and wonder if removing that garbage would help. It'd still be my least favourite map and if more people feel the same way it might be generally helpful to make green have it instead of red. Moving up a tier to be awarded with no one being willing to defend really doesn't seem appealing. Incidentally, regardless of a vote, player activity records of each map show just how unfavoured it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zionophir.6845 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 desert bl is not a bad map.. what i like about it is the number of high terrains available there, which can make possible some clutch kills (like guardian hammer golfing, or even just pushing or throwing away (warrior skill with boots)). what they need to do is to make a new bl map so the 3 bls will be distinct.

Mokk.2397 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've always liked desert border land even before the changes.I would like to see other borderlands on rotation.Jungle borderland ,Swamp borderland and an underworld borderland for example. Maybe some weird ones like a dessert borderland with ginger bread houses and giant ice cream cones and parfaits.Mix it up for more variety.

LaGranse.8652 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I prefer the mobs and lord of tower and keeps in desert borderland compared to alpine boarder. The lords have flavor to them rather than just being a punching bag with a big hp bar. The guards of the different towers and keeps are different and themed after said structure which i find is a nice touch. Seen some complains about the the fire keep lord in this thread however I've never really had too much trouble with it, a knockdown or fear from time to time however it does not compare to the impassable circle of the air keep lord which I think could need some tweaking.

Wisty.4135 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I don't mind DBL. I actually even enjoy it slightly more compared to alpine. I'd love if there was a fourth BL map as well to ensure even - could you imagine a jungle map?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash.9213 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I like desert map and don't find it any more difficult to get to our stuff timely than the alpine maps. My main complaint about all of the maps apart from pathing issues with my porting skills and that much of the maps aren't used because WvW is more of a large arena match than open world is that we don't get the awesome expansion music.

KrHome.1920 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The donut design is bad and wastes my time as it increases travel times, but besides that the map is great. Alpine is outdated in terms of map-design and graphics qualty. When I enter a borderland, it's the desert 9 out of 10 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teon.5168 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 > @"Kylden Ar.3724" said: > Wow, bet those poll results were not what OP expected. Just one of those forum screamers that is still po'ed with the originally devastating poll that allowed Desert BL to become part of wvw. They were so sure that the poll would go overwhelmingly in their favor, then mad as hell when they were proven completely wrong. This is probably just one of those people that is still determined that they were correct back then. And then they do a poll and are laughingly proven wrong, yet again. It's actually kind of entertaining, in a weird sort of way. ;) Plus, all of the original complaints with Desert BL are now completely irrelevant, since there are mounts out there, now.

Teratus.2859 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I don't play WvW much but when I do it's usually on DBL. It's my personal favorite map but that's likely down to it just being newer and different. Back in the day I had to do WvW for map completion and one of the things I always despised with a passion was the fact that there were 3 identical maps that all had to be completed. By the time WvW was taken away from World completion requirement i'd already come to utterly hate the original 3 WvW maps with a passion. Even today I can't play on them long before I just start to feel sick and tired of their scenery and just general bland uglliness.. I know it seems harsh but I just don't like them lol Getting DBL was a real breath of fresh air for me, far more attractive map with far more interesting elements to it. I expect more familiar WvW players can argue many good points and criticisms as to why they think it's a bad map and hell they're probably right about it being a bad map lol But they still have 3 other maps to play on, 2 of which are identical so if they don't like DBL they can just avoid it at the end of the day. Personally I think we should get rid of another of the duplicate maps and replace it again with an entirely new map giving WvW a nice rounded out 4 different maps total and rotate the colours. That's just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlateSloan.3654 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 desert is nice. i would have just dropped the oasis in the middle and put either another keep there or a huge cap spot without walls at all and the boss mechanics are unnecessary.

arielwind.8921 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We've been fighting within SAME MAP for 6 YEARS. EBG, Alpine BL are kinda boring for me. We need new strategy in wvw anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a zerg fight it would be fine, or when Its just the mob alone its fine. But when 5 players are fighting another 5 players, and one group is getting constantly fear AOE'd every 15 seconds it makes a WORLD of difference. I've won 5v10 in that lords room solely because of that mob, and how it constantly cc'd the enemy and forced them to use stun breakers to stay alive, thus putting them on cool down. I'd rather a more fair and competitive environment over "flavor" any day. But I actually do enjoy roaming the desert bl. The pve mobs being too strong is really my only grip with the map now.

I agree. Having four distinct maps with their own specific flavours would be great and it would add a little bit of variety to WvW, although it's clearly time for an overhaul of the Alpine and EBG map.

Aguna.3497 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Keep desertBL. Been playing since launch, and alpine is boring. Maybe they should make a new map for blue and green should stay alpine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
