Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible to consider changing how the guild location claiming works?

Example:
Camps – Requires standard guild symbol
Towers and Keeps – Requires at least 1 active buff
Castle – Requires at least 2 active buffs

If active buffs expire during claim, the guild loses claim to the location until another claims it.

What do you guys think?

I agree to an extent, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into the issue of not being able to claim a location because someone else has, but there are no buffs currently. Personally I think they should do it so that a claim disappears after a certain amount of time, say 30mins when there is no buff. To give the guild a chance to reissue buffs, or start them if they just claimed. As I don’t personally activate the buffs until after I’ve claimed. But something needs to happen here, it’s annoying as all hell to be under heavy assault by the two other servers at a keep, and not be able to put any buffs up because the people who have claimed have no buffs active, and long gone to transfer their claim to a supply camp, or some other objective that is currently unimportant at the moment.

I agree. At the very least, a keep claimed by a guild not running buffs should be claimable if the claim occurred more than 2 minutes ago.

I don’t see why buffs require your flag there in the first place TBH. As long as they didn’t stack multiple times or anything weird like that, would it even matter if anyone could put the buff up?

Well those buffs can be longer,about 24 hours instead of 14, and I agree.

To bump this since kittenty guilds think claiming something is important without buffs.

Camps – Requires at least 2 active buff.
Towers and Keeps – Requires at least 4 active buffs.
Castle – Requires at least 6 active buffs.
