Curse

I really would like to see an expansion to the AB maps. I think many of the veteran ABers would agree that the AB battles could really benefit from some new content.

The current five battlefield maps are:

Kaanai Canyon (Deep Luxon)
Etnaran Keys (Shallow Luxon)
Saltspray Beach (Neutral)
Grenz Frontier (Shallow Kurzick)
Ancestral Lands (Deep Kurzick)

One of the maps could be positioned right before the Bases (Kaanai and Ancestral) to reflect the push into the intermediate territory as the battle line moves on the map which I will call The Mainland.

The final map should be a battle for the capital city (Cavalon and House zu Heltzer). It would be fun to see Luxon Siege Turtles and Kurzick Juggernauts on each of the shrine capture points. The NPCs guarding the capital could be the named characters you encounter from the different sides.

That would bring the total to nine battlefield maps:

Battle for Cavalon (Capital City)
Kaanai Canyon (Deep Luxon)
Luxon Mainland (Medium Luxon)
Etnaran Keys (Shallow Luxon)
Saltspray Beach (Neutral)
Grenz Frontier (Shallow Kurzick)
Kurzick Mainland (Medium Kurzick)
Ancestral Lands (Deep Kurzick)
Battle for House zu Heltzer (Capital City)

What do you think?

suggestion forum ftw...

/signed play Ab a lot and think using a few ineptitude spams on kurzick juggernauts would be a great laugh, and seeing those turtles waddle

Bring on the new maps

Shuuda · Feb 01, 2008, 07:34 PM // 19:34

I think it would be great to add more neutral maps as well.

EDIT: more neutrals indeed plz

/signed... I'd add even more maps with bridges, and some other obstacles

/signed so many times. sick of the same old maps

good suggestion, would add a lot of versatility to AB

/signed LOVE the idea, new maps would be such a turning point for new/old ab'ers alike

There is soooo much more important stuff that should be changed first. AB is pretty much on the bottom of the list.

Not signed but not for the above reason.

Ancestral and Kaanai is already a huge advantage for the home team. You can't do much else to give away the match and still call it "PvP." If you want trees and turtles, play Fort Aspenwood.

They update pve more than pvp..

(Guild Wars) sounds like a pvp title to me. Should be based more on guilds anyways.

yet the Kurzicks manage to get into the base and cap the shrines, same with Luxons.

/signed I'm all for more AB

Every thing in this game has gotten new things (HA got a HUGE turn around with all the new maps) GvG got new halls with every new chapter that came out.
Only AB didnt get new maps. At least some more maps and faster map switching would be a nice change.

could be fun, doubt Anet cares/has time for it though

English Warrior · Feb 18, 2008, 05:00 PM // 17:00

/Notsigned i dislike the idea of this because the 3 main cities should always remain to there allegiance thats more of a bonus to earn them also why add Kurzick Mainland and Kurzick Mainland map's aren't they just Kanaii Kanyon and Ancestral Lands.

Also Battle for Cavalon or House would just be like Fort Aspenwood.

iridescentfyre · Feb 19, 2008, 04:32 PM // 16:32

It'll never happen in my opinion, but it would be cool to have some more variation.

Taurucis · Feb 19, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

I /sign this. 5 maps is way too few, especially now that Kaanai Canyon is horribly glitched. Alliance Battles were actually an excellent concept, just poorly designed. The battles themselves need more objectives, more people, basically more life.

RiKio · Feb 19, 2008, 05:05 PM // 17:05

/signed. I am really bored of playing the same maps. What´s more, I quit AB long time ago because of the repetitive maps and the leeetness.....

/signed it would not hurt it we had more maps ftw
