What kind of 'maps'/environments do people want to see in open world battlegrounds?

Inixia

terrain, verticality, choke points, etc... any favorite maps in mmo pvp prior to this?

Grihm

Snowstorms, heavy rain and thunder, foggy.
I feel any location can be interesting, but with a focus on height in the map, different ways to reach locations, large areas, optional ways to move unseen for flanking.

I cannot wait to be in a siege with horrible weather conditions, and managing all things between manpower, arrows, siege weapons, troop movements and general survival.

That would be an interesting twist.
Having variation in weather and time of day effecting vision and ability/movement I think would be fun.

There will be seasons in the game and weather influenced by where you are, such as mountains in the north. We know that magic will also change weather, though few details of how that works.

Well, there are magical seasons.
Climate and seasons can affect abilities.
I think that might be different than magic changing weather? Is there a dev quote for that?

Inixia

how do people feel about bridge maps? Like stretching over an open icy mountain pass and both sides need to push for military control (with flanking reduced)? I feel like these show up from time to time.

Or do you all prefer less controlled/natural settings with lots of caves, nooks and crannies for ambushes? I think something like that makes a lot of sense in the underrealm or a forest. I think these are a lot of fun but too many obstacles starts to favor close range sometimes. Especially if you add in some effects like fog, makes things pretty eerie but in a fun way

I want to see some lightning on a mountain. Also, it's planned for skills to increase in particular climates, so it would be awesome if you're fighting on a mountain top against some world boss and you wait for the weather to be perfect to get some awesome lightning bonus damage buff.
