Maybe no keeps, no towers. People joked about it, (while some were serious)

Just terrain and capture points. No upgrading etc.

What could go wrong?

(/s)

Yes what is there that could possibly go wrong ?? , fun to try SMC with no defensive siege at all I think the mass of multiple players (blob) is that acceptable PC? would cry a lot.

No gates! Let's go!

I like more open field. Don't think no walls / gates will go over very well though.

Towers/keeps would kind of look funny with no walls so I'd suspect no gates are more likely. I can't see them removing towers/keeps all together leaving just capture points.

Probably not as extreme as I originally thought. Maybe bringing back relics for a week.

Will be interesting to see how they drive players out of objectives and into open-field since it is objectives (big and small) that primarily drives ongoing activity in wvw.

All camps only.

which depends on the dev's definition of "open-field". I seriously doubt they are removing structures for the week. Its more likely they will put in place a simple buff/debuff to encourage "open-field" fighting. I just don't know what it could really be though.

Open field is great and honestly if they just did some terrain changes on the current maps we'd have more open field to deal with. Lots of areas of cliffs and stuff that could be removed and made able to be traversed would be nice. like 20% of the alpine map's sections are also currently useless, both NE and NW corners where the skritt/centaurs are, that very large area of the northern citadel that is just useless open land could be open to everyone and made into something. SE/W spawns tunnel areas could be flattened or at least have a way up and flattened on top. lots of area around SMC in EBG could be removed and opened up, etc.

Looking forward to whatever this thing is though, sounds like it will at least be interesting.

+5% xp for player kills, no doubt.

They're not going to put in any major effort into this of like replacing structures, so either no walls or no gates, or something really wacky and turn off ppt but keep ppk on which I don't think would go over well.

All WvW maps replaced with Plains of Ashford

After 6 years we will get Battlegrounds, trust me, 100% legit, no scam.

PPK could be increased (e.g. doubled during the event time, going from 2 to 4 for a "stomp") plushttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Call_of_War again or https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bonus_Weekend_Eventhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mist_War_Summons could also come back, but it is "weaker" than the Call of War.

I just hope that it won't overlap the new LS release, I wouldn't like to choose which content doing first.

How many AC's and Ballista can we build????

Can we just have a rerun of No Downstate Please?

The WvW icon on the interface takes you to OS exclusively

Well... after all is said and done some people need a break from the sometimes boring grind that is wvw. Don't get me wrong, I love wvw but mostly because of running with people I know. After about an hour of battling it's not much more than a chat fest in TS or Discord and killing/dying and not really caring much... especially about scores.

The new story injection will be a nice break (for me at least) for a couple days while I get the story line portion done then head back into WvW... zzzzz....

This event should be at the very least one week per "linking."
