Guild Wars 2

When we siege keep to defend we can’t place too many siege on the same spot (usually 5 I think). But how is that possible that ennemy are able to place 14 cata on the same place with big blob ? You can place 14 cata on the same spot but you can only place 5 acs ?
This is as intented ? Or it’s another bug ? Really attacking with 14 catas…. When you know how the wall can be opening very fast….
Broken game…

Should experiment and see if it’s just a cata thing.

The local limit is 5 siege per 1000-unit radius. So, if that rule applies to catas, if you have 14 in a line, the first cata would have to be 1001+ units from the 6th. The 2nd would have to be 1001+ units form the 7th, and so on.

fairly sure YB gets around this by having multiple people drop the siege at the same time. I have seen them drop 12+ gcatas along a single wall.

But how can they have enough supply to build that many catas? Oh wait, 60 man blob….

I didn’t have the time to make screenshot, the attack was really fast, and it was only guild cata. Maybe the limit doesn’t work for guild cata. I should test, but guild cata are very expansive… And it’s not like if a dev will make some patch about that.
But yes, I confirm that the limit is fonctioning for “normal” cata, because sometimes I can’t add more in defense, too many siege error. But I have never tested with guild cata..

But maybe that guild cata can be placed without any limitation.

The guild cata is very usefull when you are in small group, but with blob it’s really too power full…

the limit is there for gcatas as well. If I’m the only one throwing them down, I was never able to place more than 5 next to a wall.

But as I said, I’m fairly sure the exploit is to throw them all at the same time since the check can only look at siege that has already been placed.

ok thx, then it’s really using a bug to do that… Or guild cata are not concerned by the limitation….

All siege has a limit in an area, unless you exploit the game.

I have to do some test, maybe it’s guild siege, or maybe it’s because you place lot of blueprint before you build it… don’t know. But it’s possible to build plenty of cata to attack, there is probably some way to do that.

My personal record is having disabled 11 catas with 1 siege disabler. It was two weeks ago when Jade Sea built this amount of catas at the west garri wall. I don’t know how they did it, perhaps somebody from JS can explain.

For what I know, the limitation is only about builded siege… As long as you don’t finish the siege, you can place as many blueprint as you want…
