7/26: Temple of the Silent Storm
(edited about 3 hours ago by Tyler Bearce.3427)

Skyhammer was scheduled to come back into tPvP map rotation on 26th of July. However, it seems that ArenaNet has acknowledged massive negative feedback regarding this map and decided to swap it for something more appropriate, like good old TotSS.

Hooray!

We’ve taken Skyhammer out of the tournament rotation while we evaluate all of the feedback we’ve received over the last few days. The map may return to the rotation after we’ve made one (or more) adjustments to it.

Oh hey, look at that… in pleasing some players, others are disappointed! I hope you are all taking notes.

While Skyhammer is not currently in the tournament rotation, we are open to it in the future. Until then, there have been some great community events cropping up where players who do love the map can enjoy it. Here’s some examples:

If you guys would like to play more Skyhammer, we encourage you to participate or coordinate an event of your own! Maybe we’ll even come make an appearance.
