Knighthonor.4061 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) I had an idea. EoTM seem like a good place to do experiment for WvW since nobody really go there anymore. Level out the EoTM map some. Replace the floating island 🏝 concept with water. New siege type: Battle Skiffs Multiples players can ride thr battle Skiff. One player pilots, One person controls the ranged laser One person controls the Skiff Cannon 2 passenger slots For a total of 5 players can mount the Battle Skiffs. Skiffs can only be built and repaired damage at the Dock at the base. Battle Skiffs are made using a unique collected resources that drops from players and some NPCs that need to be returned to the dock to build the Battle Skiffs. Battle Skiffs can attack other skiffs, as well as attack the land structures and bridges. The newly added water has a side effect. Hostile Piranhas lurk in the water Which will have a damage over time effect to swimmers 🏊♂️. This makes the use of bridges 🌉 still functionally needed on the map to be controlled and repaired for travel. Skiffs are a threat to that and would have to be dealt with using other Skiffs or land siege weapons to sink thr Skiffs.

Cuks.8241 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I am all for it. Just not battle skiffs but war galleys. And ramming should definitely be a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge shot Grif.6450 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I just want them to turn on skirmish tickets in eotm, literally the only map I enjoyed :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin.4501 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I like this idea, but I have to wonder how it would relate to underwater combat? Right now, underwater combat across all classes is horribly uneven (but then again, so is regular combat...), but my bigger issue is that we're almost 10 years into GW2 and dead ranger pets still functioning underwater has NEVER been fixed. And like so many other issues in WvW, I don't have much (or any) faith in the devs that it will ever be fixed. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
