Guild Wars 2

As one of the personnel upgrades, it would be nice to be able to buy a Repair Worker. This worker would slowly repair damaged gates and walls provided: 1) No other upgrades were in process; 2) the tower/keep/castle is not presently under attack; and 3) if there are supplies available.

Areas like the Garrison on Borderlands might get some heavy damage on the curtain walls, etc., then the enemy is pushed far away and the zerg moves on. That usually leaves the walls, etc., in a very compromised state. with nothing being done about it. For example, on my Borderland today I started checking outer walls at the Garrison and found 3 that were under 20% and one gate that was under 10%. There was no fighting nearby. All the upgrades had been bought. Supply was at 100% and arrived steadily. Meanwhile, all the castle workers (and players) were walking by walls that were about to fall down. After about an hour of work I finally had one other person help me for a bit and we got the walls and gates in good shape (and I got a lot of progress toward my ‘supplies used toward repair’ achievement. heh.)

Anyway, there should be some way to put the lazy npc louts to work when the fighting has moved on! It would also provide an added incentive/disincentive to keeping supply running or harassed even if there is not a frontal assault going on. I can tell you that spending an hour mending walls is NOT heroic! But if I had spent that time instead protecting supply camps and lines, it would have felt moreso. An upgrade would be the ticket, I think.

I would like to second this.
