Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to see what you guys think about Giving Guilds the Option to Control Who can Take Supply/Build Siege gear in a Keep, Siege, castle or Fort.

Currently it Becomes Difficult to Upgrade the stuff we claim because people Continue to Take supply From claimed Forts instead of Running to the Supply camps. Because of this a lot of Keeps are Lost because we can not fortify them quickly enough.

Giving Guilds the Option to Control this would give us More control of the situation imo.

Maybe, but it would have to be limited.

For example, the guild can disable supply pick-ups but doing so costs 500 karma and this effect lasts for 30 minutes.

I don’t want to see a case where we can’t defend a keep because the owning guild turned off supply pickups and then logged out for the night — or because they simply wanted to troll their teammates (or because they actually transferred from another server specifically for this reason).

Perhaps a simpler, less abuseable solution would be that whenever you purchase any upgrade, there’s a checkbox that says “freeze supply until completed”. Checking that box costs 500 karma above the usual price but does what it says. It will also let you pre-purchase things that normally require the supply to be in the pile. So you can go to a supply camp that has 30 supply in it, go ahead and buy the “Upgrade Supply” and it will freeze the pile until 100 supply builds up, then it will start the upgrade and release the pile.

IMO, when a guild claims a keep and start upgrading it, the supply for that upgrade should be instantly moved to a “reserved stockpile”, where only the keep’s workers can use it.

My guild also claims keeps regularly, and it’s infuriating when you can’t upgrade them because random players keep emptying your supply stocks to repair gates that are under attack, plonk down arrowcarts in terrible positions and other blatant wastes of supply.
