Guild Wars 2

In before: ‘taking damage’.

Basically I just want to understand the easiest way to keep my siege equipment from de-spawning between uses.

I’ve heard two things:

1) That you need to cycle it every so often (go up and ‘use’) or it despawns.
2) That the quaggans take it out themselves, if you don’t control the weather.

IDK which is correct. Maybe a combination of both?

Unused siege lasts for 30min before it despawns; anyone using it resets that timer.

Quaggan lightning can kill siege.

hm, okay, I guess that figures. It was hard to tell exactly how long since sometimes it would last what seemed like all day, but I guess people had just been sitting on it occasionally and resetting it.

EDIT: and now the first thing I do visiting any fort is gonna be: go interact with every piece of siege equipment.

This is just conjecture, but I’m pretty sure all siege lasts longer than 30-minutes except for Trebuchets, which still are on the 30-minute timer. I’ve seen Flame Rams last for days, and I highly doubt they are being vigilantly refreshed every half hour.
