Just like the health bar on artillery, catapults, trebs, ac, bal ect. It could be nice to see if artillery needs a reset on time left. Atm 5 ppl will reset the same arty within 5 minutes or not at all.
Also If you place a treb on a spot ppl dont pass very often it could be nice if ppl actually passing could see that a reset was needed. Most ppl wont bother jumping up to a vista to reset a treb if you dont know it needs one.
Some ppl dont know that arty needs reset and this would fix this issue.
It would be easy to implement since there is already a none visible timer

Implementation:
-It could be implemented as a bar like the HP or showing time left as numbers.
-When the time left is below 10 min bar could turn red allerting bypassing ppl.

Constructive feedback welcome or state if you agree/disagree with something.

Also it would be nice if they had a guild tag (like banners) next to the name.

They have talked about a timer on the siege. I hope it is in this patch.

Nice idea, this would be a small reward for the guild or person using lost of money on arty. This might also encurage ppl or guilds to use more money on arty and thereby evening buildsites out between more ppl and guilds.

On the downside it could make it look like ur not as welcome to use the arty if ur not in that guild.

Another way to go around this could also be to add a reward by placing arty. The reward could be based on kills placed arty does or it could be based on amount of damage dealt. This would encurage ppl to make sure arty is placed in the best spot possible, and there might even be ppl rushing to get arty up at best spots.

I hope so too. Refreshing siege is a chore as it is (and it should be to a point) but knowing when the timers are up would make it much more manageable.
