Curse

As we all know, there are only 2 maps now days @ AB and how boring is that?

-Grentz
-Ancentral

Grentz is almost a luxon map now days, so freakin easy to win there as luxon, dunno what Kurzicks are doing? remember when I were Kurzick, we could run whatever we will and win 500-50 ~ 24/7 but now, ... Well i'm luxon and happy that we win there

Ancentral is probably the map Kurzick really have chance to pwn, but still they really have to work for it.
I know and seen many Luxon fear this map, hate ect... I don't know why? I think this map pwn but im afraid people run FAIL builds, many groups barely can cap these shrines with RT, mesmer and necro,... kinda sad tbh.

If there were possible, how about... remove that shitty PVE city system or faction and add random map cycle, would be more fun to have different maps then 2 maps that go 24/7.

Gotta ask a question what I've seen these last days, aiming at Kurzick players now....
When we have 5-6 shrines and leading with 200-300 points?

How come you can say "stop mobbing"?
I don't get this, you mostly make us MOB you when you dont cap...
I really dont have words but, silly people are everywhere.

PS!
When I see an Xbox 360 I turn 360 degrees and walk away...

you do know that if you turn 360 degree's you end up facing the same way, so you couldnt walk 'away'... you'd need to turn 180. but gg though...

as far as map rotations for AB, it would be nice, but i doubt that anything will be done anytime soon. i would love to see a 12v12 style RA. where the maps are random and have no bearing on the alliances win rate.

but i doubt this will ever happen...

It has nothing to do with maps, we're locked into the luxon side, or at times the Kurzick ones, because the Kurzick (or resp. Luxon) sides are bad at playing it. There will NOT be any new map that's for sure, there's no one to design and code them on the Live Team (unless there's a surprise in the coming "PvP <3" update)

Kurzick used to own ab.. but now all the good Ab'ers figured.. Lets MTVQ for points its like 11teenmillion times faster. therefore quit ab and only ab for fun running wammo's and Mo/N touchers lol.
you notice tho on double weekends such as this.. Kurzick usually stay on luxon maps untill sunday morning.. before the luxons win enough to pull it back.

Well thats just what i think about it.

TheodenKing · Jul 22, 2009, 03:59 PM // 15:59

A map rotation that isn't based on momentum would be nice. Rather than a rotation, I'd like to see the program do a dice roll every few hours with an equal chance of any particular map being in play except the one currectly being used.

to the op, it must just be for you. because when i play with my friends we usually dont lose (as kurzick). in a night we usually win 5 times and lose 1 and the wins are 200+. this late in the game i wouldnt expect to see changes like that especially after they already tried to "fix" ab things attaching it.

ps work on your degrees op, rofl

Well you're playing on kurzick maps now so I expect that you guys win, but once you come to luxon maps its like you all resign at same time.

moriz · Jul 22, 2009, 09:08 PM // 21:08

the reason why AB is stuck on grenz and ancestral, is because luxons are statistically better at AB overall. go search this subforum. somebody actually came up with hard data to back this up.

but yes, either change how the maps are decided, or balance out the faction gain of AB with relation of JQ. that would bring back the better kurzick players so the matchup is even again.

bungusmaximus · Jul 23, 2009, 07:36 AM // 07:36

Tweaking rewards sounds quick and good. Ffs there ARE good kurzick players out there, earlier on this week we got SO rolled. Me wants more competition.

glacialphoenix · Jul 23, 2009, 08:01 AM // 08:01

I don't know.

Double faction weekend should even things out a bit. I remember making it to Kaanai last double AB faction weekend, and winning four/five games in a row on Etnaran. (IT HAPPENED. IT WAS NOT A MYTH.)

dorin · Jul 23, 2009, 09:08 AM // 09:08

Kurzick players used to own ab. Now, luxons time. Many players from kurzick side just moved on luxon one. Reasons proly: already r12, bored ,i don`t know.
I don`t think there`s gonna be a change.
And ..if you wanna more ... just pick up the gauntlet and take the kurzick side. (It`s just an option.)

GuLLinda · Jul 23, 2009, 08:38 PM // 20:38

This is really not about one person, need a whole PRO alliance to get over to other side, maybe more of then who are able to take care of cities.

StonewallJackson · Aug 08, 2009, 01:38 AM // 01:38

I don't see why they cannot just use a set-time rotation for maps. I know it makes it more "realistic", but it is so annoying. It is obvious they must do this on the AB bonus weekends. It always makes sure to have both Ancestral and Kaanai, without fail. The main reason I want the maps to change is not so I can get a whole bunch of faction(I do MQSC for that), but so I can get the 175 coppers for a completed AB quest, and there is no way I'm playing for the Kurzick side.

Also the echovald forest is so dim, gloomy, and depressing.

Lexar · Aug 08, 2009, 09:47 AM // 09:47

If they just make the Luxons start from the Kurzick position and vice versa in Etnaran and Kanaai, then at least we'd get a change of scenery.

Cathode_Reborn · Aug 08, 2009, 09:43 PM // 21:43

Most people either already maxed their Kurz titles and are working on Lux or doing DTSC/JQ.

Gennadios · Aug 09, 2009, 06:25 AM // 06:25

I would love nothing more than that. Being able to only AB in the evenings, I've noticed that the only map really available to play is Ancestral Lands, which basically means I spend my hours getting bum raped by Kurz mobs, while somehow even on the off chance that we do end up /w 3 independant groups capping, we still can't pull together a loss by a margin lower than 500/200.

RotteN · Aug 09, 2009, 03:20 PM // 15:20

People just realise it's more "profitable" to do other stuff for faction, and stay away from AB.

Even stuff like FA gains you more faction than an AB (which is ridiculous).

Raising the rewards might lure the good players back.

GuLLinda · Aug 09, 2009, 04:30 PM // 16:30

Many people don't play to gain faction though, just to have fun but when maps are the same 24/7 it gets boring yeah?

erk · Aug 27, 2009, 09:10 PM // 21:10

The map has been on Ancestral most of this week. I am getting really sick of it. Anet doesn't care a bit. I agree it should be a random map every few hours.

Lux Aeterna · Aug 28, 2009, 08:12 AM // 08:12

Luxon wins a lot on Ancestral, it just takes at least 2 groups who can think about it and have some organization more than just a tab invite dervish dervish necro sin. The more intelligent Luxons seem to have adapted and have an idea how to win on Ancestral now, in fact I was winning half or more of my matches earlier today.
