Guild Wars 2

Just a heads up that siege is randomly despawning and getting damage without enemies around, similar to the good ol’ Quaggan days.

Seems completely arbitrary, no way to predict which will vanish, but you can see the damage on some.

it’s not despawning, it just gets attacked by the randomly spawning enemy-npc’s in all the towers / keeps.
By the time you spotted it, they just were already killed by the archers and other npc’s, hence the half-dmg remaining siege in the tower.
Just stand in the tower for a couple of minutes and you’ll see it. Some extremely annoying bug, introduced with last Tuesday’s patch. this is also the reason why people don’t put money into upgrading anymore, nor drop siege inside objectives; it’s pointless to do so.

lol that is hilarious but um I can see how its annoying.

Sorry I do find it amusing

Naw this is siege at garri not near the angry npcs.

I wondered if they brought the Quaggan code back, just without the adorable Quaggans.

It’s just the keeps, mostly garri, watch for it.

these npc’s also spawn in garri…

Yes at North inner and outside. Not in lords.

Edit: I should add that one of our talented players created an app alarm to watch and map siege, complete with timer — that’s how I know stuff is randomly disappearing without any concrete reason.

have you checked if there is an enemy AC at watergate, at the spot where engineer can jumpshot to from outside?
Cause that one can hit into the lord-room with the introduced camera-changes.

Yes dear. I know siege/placement/counters, etc.. even with the new camera angles. This is more a flag post for the devs cos something’s buggy.

Edit: I’ll add it to bug section too.

wait, you use a app for keeping track of the refresh timers?
while that is pretty impressive, are you sure that it’s working correctly and bug-free?
Cause if it displays false times (like the lord-buff timer apps sometimes do), the siege maybe just timed out regularly since no-one refreshed it, while the app was not notifying anyone of the low timer on it…

And ofc you could have a hacker on your map, porting in or a cloak’n’dagger thief inside your garri, being perma-invisible due to the wall-attack exploit.

lol, I suspect you just like to argue. Have fun!

I’m trying to be helpful and let others know.

This is what happens when the NPC’s don’t get the memo.

You know, if you want to be helpful, you should check other possible circumstances for the observed effect before you fill a potentially false bug-report…

But hey, have fun!

That’s the thing. I have checked every possible other situation/circumstance.

You just like to argue :p

I surely do.
Having civil arguments is the basic principle behind every creative process, even if you just argue with yourself.
I wouldn’t be so fast with jumping to conclusions, if 3rd party software is involved.

lol ..

gives you a cookie

Unknown if related, but for quite a while siege has sometimes not ‘taken’ a refresh attempt, as in it won’t reset the timer.

WvW is so full of bugs, what went so wrong and why didn’t you test your patch?

Even oil targets walls now.
