Guild Wars 2

tl;dr – 2 minute automatic claim removal of any objective where no guild buffs are running.

-

First off, I can’t take credit for this suggestion as I have seen it posted in these forums many times before.

The two examples where this would apply are:

(1) A guild claims something without any active WvW buffs running, the claim is automatically removed after 2 minutes unless buffs are turned on.

(2) A guild claims something and puts up 12 hours of buffs but at the end of those 12 hours nobody from that guild is online to start new buffs. The claim is automatically removed after 2 minutes once the buffs expire.

From my point of view these are common sense changes that would benefit everyone. However, I would love to hear of any possible scenario where this change would hurt the game.

+1 / bumps appreciated.

open claiming to any guild with active buffs during the 3 minutes after an objective is captured instead of only the guild with the most bodies present

think of this as bump #1

Or, let a claim be overridden if the the new party trying to claim has active WvW buffs and the existing claim doesn’t.

Id like to add how claiming a camp on RI works, as sometimes the commander doesn’t have enough of their own guild following them to make the claim, yet have a large group. Anyone leading should be able to buff +5 a camp or claim, numbers of guild-mates should not be a necessary factor after taking a camp when you are leading a whole server.

And with keeps or towers too, having a guild that can reliably give buffs is important, its quite frustrating then someone claims our main keep and buffs run out, no one is online in that guild to add more, nor can other guilds active add their own. We’ve also have people claim with a bank storage guilds to mess with us and we don’t have +5 , or buff for when we need them for the duration of the claim. There should be some way to overcome this in a more realistic way then just “waiting it out” like RI at a camp ;).
