Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I just want to ask if is somehow possible to capture a point while lord is still alive. I thought it is not, but then this happened (see screenshots).
The situation was this: we killed the lord, guards and were caping, but then some enemies came and they were killing us so I hid in the tower. They ressed the lord and left (the caping circle stayed there). Then I ported one guy, we killed guards and when lord left circle we was able to capture the tower, circle disappeared. Suddenly, when we killed the lord, the circle showed again despite we had captured the tower and had our lord alive.
So is it ok or bug?

The capture mechanism seems to be based on numbers of people inside the circle…not necessarily by the presence of the lord…interesting (he says stroking his beard) :-)

Must be a bug. You can’t cap if lord is alive. Circle should not appear then. Or maybe it is really intended and possible to cap if lord is alive but outside the circle? But then it would be too easy – 1 person could just pull the lord and all guards while a 2nd person stays in circle.

And I know from camps where I ran away and supervisor followed me (and he must have been outside the circle area) that no circle appears.

They killed the lord initially thats why the circle was there.

I am pretty sure this is intended. The enemy team was supposed to stay and defend until the circle was reset. Their fault for leaving too early. Not a bug imo.

The circle is supposed to reset when you revive the lord same goes for camps. Sometimes it bugs and doesn’t reset and there is nothing you can do about it. It will properly reset after the tower flipped. Its a minor bug and usually just irritating when you don’t know about it.

I have not seen the circle reset when the lord is revived. Only changes color when they return o the circle until they are removed. Once it is killed and the circle appears, it is supposed to be defended at that point until it resets. Happens in camps too. Kill the supervisor and the circle appears..if you don’t kill everything else or remove them from the circle before the supervisor respawns it does not remove the circle, merely changes the color until the enemy is removed again.

Don’t think its a bug at all. If it is a bug it has been one since the beginning because I have seen this happen all the time.

If you revive the circle disappears. Changing colors is only if some enemies are in(it has the color of the defending team then – if no defenders inside it takes the color of attackers).

I think what you mean is the capture bar. This does not reset. But afaik it only is a display bug – if lord gets killed again it starts at 0 again.

That tower is known to have a bugged capture ring.

Thank you, I did not know about it so it confused me :-)

Hah!
Message Body length must at least be 15.

It has been always like that maybe you didn’t pay enough attention or simply you were never in such a situation.
If you have some organized warriors you can make it almost impossible to capture a keep thanks to this mechanic, because you can reset the whole capturing process and not just stall it.

Just watch the first couple minutes.

Was he being resurected legit? Or was it a banner res?

that particular tower has a bug i’ve seen it uncappable before for days.

Seen this happening a couple of times, all at the Lake tower, so its bugged i guess
