Guild Wars 2

Hello!

Hoping to get an official response:

Does siege really despawn? I’ve heard folks say you have to use them every 30mins or so otherwise they will disappear. Others say it is a rumor and that it is the lightning that hits the siege and gradually destroys it.

I feel like a superstitious chump going around activating siege once in a while so hoping for an official response.

Also does anyone have any clue about siege limits: e.g. is there a max amount of rams that can be placed on a map at a given time, after that you can’t place anymore?

Thanks!

Actually both are true,

Siege does need to be touch every 30min and lighting from the quagans do indeed destroy seige and alters of keeps. It is why quagans have become key in many areas of WvWvW.

Haven’t seen limits, but there are issues of putting siege to close togather and destroying/blocking and more. so best to give them enough room. Hope this all helps, not offical with the devs, but meh , kind of a known thing by avid WvWvW players.

As above.

There is also a cap on how much siege you can place in a given area, its relatively high though (probably 10+). The game will just prevent you from placing blueprints after that. Seen it a handful of times at towers/supply camps with large amounts of siege equipment set up.
