In a long post on the blog of developer ArenaNet explains Mike Ferguson, system designer of mmog Guild Wars 2, from what the plans are with the new World usa. World Battles. In the new game can have three teams, each from a different server, against each other in a separate section of the game world created by ArenaNet The Mists is called. Each participating server can a team second from more than a hundred players. The Mists consists of four huge maps. Each team has a home that The Borderlands is called and there is a central folder that The Eternal Battlegrounds called. Each folder provides space to more than three hundred players. The are thus, according to Ferguson, the largest maps for Guild Wars 2 can be made. A fight between three teams will take two weeks.
Each folder has various Keeps, a kind of castles as the home base for the teams. In The Eternal Battlegrounds is a neutral Keep, by each of the three teams conquered. The purpose of the World usa. World Battles is Keeps conquering. Teams also have Resource Camps, which for the occupying team a kind of money generating that Supply is called. This allows the team Siege Weapons to build, which are needed for Keeps to be able to conquer. Siege weapons are there in the form of Trebuchets, Arrow Carts, Catapults, Ballistae and Siege Golems.
ArenaNet has deliberately opted for the three contending teams. Ferguson hopes to achieve that the two weakest teams against the team that is the strongest, so the fight exciting. Each player can participate in the battle, not only players who have the maximum level, level 80, have achieved. Players who have a lower level, get ArenaNet automatically properties that are somewhat similar to level 80, all level 80 players is still significantly stronger. Ferguson looks for the weaker players a role to play in the Battles. So they can Siege Weapons control or repair perform.
