Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been said before or not. But I’m noticing on our WvW matchup that the other side is able to hit siege equipment that shouldn’t be targetable. For instance we had a catapult sheltered by the stairway wall in Anz, right next to the ramp way up. The treb’s couldn’t get the angle to hit it. Someone instantly destroyed it though when the other team came to attack. The same thing happened for Ogrewatch, there is something going on that is allowing siege equipment to be destroyed. We had 3 catapults up stopping ram’s from being built, then suddenly they weren’t there anymore. I was in one of them, there was no damage even ticking off that I ever saw. I’m not going to mention what server’s; not going to play the blame game.

Truth is every server is gonna use this type of stuff until it’s fixed, so if you know what’s going on pop in and say something so they can get it resolved. For every 100 of us that want to play legit there’s gonna be that 1 person that would rather cheat.

Yeah some siege just randomly disappears sometimes.

30mins untouched or so=vanish.

I think he was talking about siege equipment disappearing while he was manning it and not seeing it take any damage what-so-ever.

Ya I don’t know what’s up but something is definitely odd about the way our siege equipment is magically getting destroyed, far inside the keep’s / tower’s / castle’s. Out of any LoS a character could possibly have and no siege being able to hit it.

It’s not that no one is using it for 30 mins and it’s disappearing, it’s that the enemy team is somehow doing something that’s very questionable allowing them to kill it without being anywhere near it.

I don’t think it was the mesmer’s clone’s killing it either btw.

The quaggan lightning can easily kill off siege. If you don’t control the quaggans it hits random targets (anywhere on the map that are opposed to the team controlling them) very regularly and a couple of hits will take out siege no problems.

Not saying this is what happened, but could be a possibility.

The map might have a limit on the amount of siege equipment that can be built at one time. Could be part of the culling issue? Such that when someone builds a new siege weapon the earliest one built disappears to make room.

Last night I placed and built more blueprints in Shandaran Hills Keep to prepare for an attack on the orb than I care to admit. Within in the hour 2 from inside the Lord’s room were gone and at least another 5 on the outside. I understand the lightning on the outside. But how is siege inside the Lord’s room disappearing?

It also seemed very odd to me that only the new siege I laid down was getting destroyed. All the older siege was still in tact…one would think if it was the lightning storm it would be more random and not just the new siege.

I’ve been wondering if there is a limit to the number of siege that can be placed in a keep/tower…anyone know?

Did you only place them without building? They disappear after half an hour if you don’t build them

They were all fully built.

And did you also shoot with the sieges from time to time to prevent them from despawning? Too long inactivity = vanish.

I don’t believe this is true. The siege that was there before the ones I built were also unused and did not vanish.
