Idea for panoramic map vision in some PVP instances

When talking about maps, the detail, the peculiarities, the characteristics that these will have to give information to the players are already taken into account, especially in MMOs.
But these maps are only limited to showing us a purely PVE content, exploration, missions, raids, etc.

Examples:

The PVP content being so rapidly changing in some situations hinders the detailed characteristics in real time, and more if this pvp is in open world.
But if it is taken into account that there are instances of pvp (node war, city defense against monsters, etc.), which will not be in the open world, then these could have the opportunity to be more controllable in the detail of showing in real time what it is , what happens.

So, could AoC have some kind of strategic tool map for those pvp circumstances where pvp are not an open world but are controllable in instances?

Some examples that give an idea of what a real-time panoramic map could be in some pvp instances:

    Node wars and such are not going to be instanced.

    The only PvP that probably will be is the arena.

    I must understand that when wars of 250 vs 250 or possibly 500 vs 500 happen that will happen in the open world?

    Won't specific instances be created for these massive situations?

    cool

    That is the plan.

    Keep in mind, however, that sieges (which is what we are talking about here) will happen over a very large area, and node and guild wars will happen over the whole game world.

    actualy, for now plan is to make 500v500 instanced but they will try to leave instances for that

    This is false information.

    Please cite your source.

    The current information we have is that sieges (which are the only 500v500 PvP we know will exist at this point) may or may not take place in instances, with the preference being that they will not if the technology allows.

    Basically, the plan is for sieges to be open world, unless they can't make it work.

    No such thing. Might as well edit and delete what you wrote.
