With the announcement of the new buffs we will be able to apply towers, keeps, camps and smc there is no mention of if any change will be made to the current system for actually doing the claiming. This brings up a lot of questions.

  • Can you claim from the new ui?
  • Do you have to be in the objective in question to change upgrades or can you do it anywhere on the map?
  • Are the rules for claiming still the same? Can anyone claim when off RI, and can only the guild who the most representation in the capture claim during RI (never been exactly sure on how this is calculated)?
  • Can a guild unclaim? For instance when their rally is over can they unclaim so another can claim and put on their buffs? It would be annoying if guilds feel like they have to claim something they know they won’t hold at the end of a rally to take the claim off their garrison for instance. Just allows us to unclaim please.
  • With time limits to reach the various tiers does this apply to one guild claiming it for that long or the server? Sounds like it has to be one guild. “Tier I unlocks after a guild has held the objective for 10 minutes.”
  • I thought the goal was to move away from trolling possibilities by removing spendable supply from objectives. I like these idea in general but without better controls on claiming I think this might cause more trolling that it solves. I don’t know what the solution is. Maybe allow someone to call for a vote on revoking a claim and claiming it for their guild and have everyone on the map vote to allow or prevent that claim change.
