Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that the time allowed to add more supply to partially built siege has gone up from 5 mins to 10 mins.

Didn’t see that in the release notes and not sure anyone has asked for it. If it is impacting the siege cap might be an idea to revert to 5 mins.

5 minutes is a ridiculously low amount of time especially if you’re building siege by yourself, it should be 10 mins

I’d liked it to be up to 15 minutes. May give me a bit of time to escort that yak coming in from north camp on my way back to the towers.

Don’t understand guys :~. I have never had an issue with the 5 min timer. It is reset every time you add more supply to the site so, even if building on your own you had 5 mins to get to/from a nearby supply camp to keep the build moving along. Sure that makes you focus, but don’t think i have ever lost any siege because of it, even if I died visiting the camp.

My experience shows that it is not refreshed when you add more supply. Unless some of the tiems I’ve tried it had gotten delayed for some reason.

If we’re getting five extra minutes to run to the camp and get back with supply for the dropped siege then I have only one thing to say.

Thanks Devon, nice touch.

I felt 5m was too short too and was glad to see the 10m timer.

Sure 5m is fine if you are running back and forth, but if you get pulled into a small skirmish to save a camp (or a tower), I’m sure the other players won’t care if say ‘brb, have to finish siege before it despawns’.

Thanks Devon!

Good change.

Just this week, with the old timer, I lost two arrow cart builds in a row when running supply from borderlands north camp to (a non-waypointed) garrison because I bumped into enemy players and got held up.
