Guild Wars 2

I guess we all seen it happen by now, guild claims an objective and not doing anything with it ( no upgrades/sieges/buffs etc)

If there was a decay timer like on siege the guild has to refresh say every 3-4hours and if said guild does not refresh it, they will lose the claim and give other guilds with buffs active the opportunity to claim it and activate the buffs.

This may not be the right subforum to post this on but since this is a WvW related proposal i’ll just post it here.

It’s a good idea, means anyone can claim when the buff runs out. But what happens when your garrison is being attacked and the guild currently claiming does not have all the buffs your guild could provide to better defend?

I think a better idea, like in GW1 with the towns and points, a guild which has more buffs should be able to claim a tower from a guild with less buffs.
This way you do not have to shout in map chats across all the BLs asking to see if that guild is still online and if they can claim something else so you can claim the tower to give it your buffs.

It can also be used as a recruiting means for guilds, if a guild always has a main keep claimed, it means they are active in WvW and a good guild to join.

Been thinking this for a while! Guild claims should wear off if the claiming guild has no active buffs. A guild with more active buffs should be allowed to claim over the current claiming guild, maybe at a cost of guild influence. And lastly, the supervisors should not allow guilds with no active buffs to claim at all (I’ve done this whike repping the wrong guild).

Just like camps, the best buff should win. If another guild comes along that has better buffs, they should be able to claim.

I agree with both suggestions.

There was some discussion surrounding guild buffs in the recent Collaborative Development: Edge of the Mists thread.

One suggestion was to allow guilds to form an alliance of sorts in which multiple guilds could claim the same objective and apply their buffs to the objective without the need for decay timers or one guild overriding the claim of another.

This would be awesome. So annoying to have keeps claimed with no buffs.

+1, or at least some way to release the claim.
