Guild Wars 2

Perhaps add more ways to gain participation/ refresh decay timer which would benefit different types of play styles.

eg:

Refreshing Siege

Grants participation and refreshes decay timer 1 refresh minute per every 10 minutes siege has decayed. (if 40m left on siege add 2 mins to your decay timer)

This might encourage people to siege up towers more and reward players for defending. It would also get people into the habit of refreshing tower siege which can’t be a bad thing

Tricks and Traps

Supply Removal – Grants 1 min decay refresh per enemy hit by trap + participation
Siege Dis-abler – Grants 1 min decay refresh per siege hit by trap + participation
Reveal Trap – Grants 1 min decay refresh per enemy revealed + participation.

I don’t think this would be a over powered as you can only place 1 type of each trap,so no spamming taps everywhere and might make choosing traps from rewards more desirable

Yeah, I can’t see where these would be abused necessarily, but the traps one, really wouldn’t be felt much either.

Siege refreshing will get two opposite reactions on here, one by people who see the value of siege, and the other that feel siege is borderline cancer..

IF siege refreshing was used as a participation addition, then something like you suggested would be good. It doesn’t seem like it’s too much.

Refreshing siege can be abused by trolls who like to waste keep supply – this will reward their behaviour. Imagine, tons of ballista’s etc near supply depot built by troll and he refreshes them for his “reward”. Also, operating shield generators should give some kind of participation because they don’t give anything even when defending.

Not sure you shouldn’t add things simply because they might be abused by trolls.
ATM trolls can build rams in the keep and waste supply just the same but why would they build a ton of balistas in a camp and refresh them rather than build AC’s in a tower and refresh those instead?

Or just make it count for participation if it’s < 15m left on timer.

It doesn’t matter what they build – the fact is they will be rewarded participation for it
