Thidranki MAP REFRESH! Vote - Phoenix Freeshard

Hey everyone,

I will be short and straight to the point, with my english couldn't make otherwise..

we would LOVE a new BG Thid MAP!

Thid is the ONLY BG populated, many people love to stay there and don't spend crazy amount of money with temp, don't have much time to play or simply for practicing with newer classes/toons....but still having fun with rvr-like experience!

Thid map is quite outdated, I would love a refresh between the already official BG maps

IF YOU AGREE COMMENT BELOW !! (keep the post high for the attention of devs!!)

It would freshen things up a bit, a functional map would be nice, but that's not essential. Ideally a map where all realm portals are equidistant to the central keep.
I'm sure loads of other people would love it too.

I’m tired of these MFn snakes in this MFn BG.

A switch up would be nice, but the population isn't big enough for a huge four island map. I do however, miss the live thid map. Possibly innovate different bridges or keep styles as well? Something different for the albs to sit inside.

I am MORE tired of fools who don't play in Thid commenting on something that does not AFFECT them at all!!!

I am not sure if I would like a new map for Thid... But, this one looks interesting.

Keeps are equidistant...
Territorial size is similar...
The solo peeps can play King-of-the-Hill in the SW corner...

What do you think?
Can we get a 1 week trial???

And, Then, if we mostly like it... the Devs can play with NPCs and such...

Change the CK to a level 1 tower, it removes a big part of the safety crutch and allows smaller populations to take it.

In all fairness... I do not know if I would like the new map.
I have never played in that version.
But, It looks like it is more balanced for the realms.
It has an area in SW cowner where solo can go hoping for duel.
It has a new feel if nothing else.

My fear is that there is no topography and such for LoS battles?
Has anyone played this version of BG map?
If so, how did it play?

My suggestion was to try it for 1 week.
That way the Devs wouldn't have to put a lot of time into it.
Only IF we liked it more would we ask for NPC work (if needed) and such.

Could we at least try it???

Back on US when servers got clustered, BGs were the only places left with a taste of classic ruleset pvp. This led thid, and later molvik to become pretty active any day of the week. Not just active, it had several groups from each realm roaming.

NF thid is subdivided into different areas, which makes it easier to pinpoint hotspots based on the kill spam. The layout generally has no chokepoints, and with portal keeps being equidistant from the CK incentivized roaming more equally among realms. Bridges were still camped, but they couldn't be tactically exploited like OF bridges (eg. no more archers standing on the pillars).

OF thid isn't even useful to represent NF rvr/pvp. The keep and bridge designs are not just obsolete, they don't exist outside of BGs. In NF thid you could punch a hole through and through the keep, which added a lot more dynamics to a siege.

It's more than a map change for change's sake, it's the next evolutionary step imo.

That said, the only reason I play thid is because I prefer the sub-50 pvp. The fights are so much more sudden death and a single mistake can ruin for the whole group.

I play in Thid a decent amount, as well lvl 50 RvR, and to be honest, I like the old Thidranki. I'm a bit biased, as I loved Old Frontiers and the style brings me back to that era; however, I do wish that the CK gate could be weaker, as it's really really difficult to siege in Thidranki. Albs constantly hold the CK, and it drives players away. If CK wasn't such a formidable buff basically, I think Thidranki would have more fluid action. I had some of the most fun 8v8 fights the other day in Thidranki, and I think if CK was changing hands more often due to it being easier to siege, I think more action away from CK would happen. That's just my opinion though, and I think the server's in a great place regardless.

Thanks

I'd give it a try for a week although Thid has more los areas.

I haven't played my high rank toons for around 2 months but have played multiple toons in thidranki and it has been fun.

1vs1 are much more balanced and fun than Lvl 50s, allowing more variety than the usual and frankly boring champ-wins-all. CCs last their duration, everyone similar rank.. You really have all the requirements for it to be a fun place.

I have been approached recently by a champion asking why I wasn't playing with my BM in the pvp zone, and that there were lots of champs waiting for action there. Champions bored of finding mostly other champions to fight in the pvp zone. LoL. Thidranki all the way.

totally agree !
Really like this capture flag idea, but just a new map (even only for test) would be much appreciated by many!!!
