Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve did a search on ‘siege guild bank’ and got no result. Pardon me if this is a re-post.

I was wondering why can’t we place sieges in the guild bank? I’m trying to get my guild to do WvW, and it will be great if they can just pick up sieges from the guild bank. I mean, we are allowed to transfer the sieges using the drop feature, so why can’t we just transfer them through the guild bank? Is there any reason behind this which I don’t know about?

Thanks!

It’s because they are soulbound for technical reasons. The WvW team are aware of this (admittedly low priority) issue, and will get it working eventually.

This is unintended and we’re not actually supposed to be able to do.

Expect that to be fixed rather than being given the ability to transfer them through guild bank or other means.

Incorrect. An ANet developer on the WvW team said that it was fully intended as a work-around to the technical limitation that forces the siege plans to be Soulbound currently.

got a source for that?

thanks.

perhaps I missed the relevant bit but that only mentions the technical issue of making the blueprints account bound rather than soulbound.. it doesn’t address whether the “drop bundle” workaround is approved …or what they think of players using it to share blueprints between accounts(as opposed to their desired outcome, which is within an account)

As I heard, the March patch was supposed to add the account bound status to siege blueprints. Yet they are still soulbound and Anet have not told us why this is still the case.

Try this one.

Thanks you two for scouring the developer tracker! Both of those definitely answer the questions about whether it is an exploit or not (it isn’t) and whether or not there are technical limitations involved (there are).

awesome, thanks again. I stand corrected.

You’ll be able to Soon™
