Guild Wars 2

I think it’s silly that you can come across catapults stacked right by the wall to a keep, which you can’t use, because the opposing servers built them. Or a bunch of flame rams in front of a gate which are unusable because you didn’t build them. I think siege should be server-neutral in the sense that anyone can take control of unoccupied equipment. It also slows down the karma train zergs marginally if they don’t want the risk of their own seige being used against them.

Put the onus to clear siege on those who build them.

then enemies could launch you off your siege and steal it for themselves….

so an enemy caps a tower with some of your teams ac’s in there.

But now those ac’s are invincible because you cant damage your own teams siege.

Or if the devs make it so your own siege can be taken out by friendlies then that opens up griefing as you cant kill allied players killing your siege.

But if the devs allow you to kill friendlies then a lot of game systems break down…

Sounds like you need to actually think this through…

Or, you go to cap hills quickly, so you drop 5 catas at the west wall and cap it before the enemy react, but now the enemy doesnt even need to have supply to take it right back because the siege is already made.

Or your SM gets flipped with all the tower trebs in place on the top floor, guess the enemy doesn’t need to have the hundreds of supply to build their own.

Or… you get the point. Anything that is sieged up is permanently sieged up – siege despawn timers would have to be improved to be spot-on, so you can reliably predict when that keep you lost doesnt have a gate cata, 4 ac’s and a defensive treb ready to go… and even then there are a huge number of other problems.

Please please please please!!!!!!! haha maybe if it was on some kind of timer where if its unattended for 10 minutes or something similar.

imo when tower or SM is overtaken, enemys who were defenders and got traped inside should be ported out of the sieged tower/SM. As it is in L2. This would make better regroup for reattack.
