Hello, my name is Tyler Bearce, a Game Designer here at ArenaNet, and I’m here to tell you about the new World vs. World desert Borderlands map that we’ve been hard at work creating for the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ expansion. This map will replace the map used for each of the three current Borderlands.
So, why the new map? Well, we’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t in the time since releasing the original game, and we decided this would be a good opportunity to create an even richer WvW experience. We know players are hungry for something new—after all, you’ve been waging war over the same Borderlands map for years now, and it’s time to give you a new battleground to learn and conquer.
