Guild Wars 2

I have had this happen to me twice personally and several other guild mates have had it as well. Basically you start building a Trebuchet in SM or in a tower/keep and you run away from it for a small amount of time whether it is to get more supply to finish it or it is fully built and you run off to kill people on another part of the map. You then come back and the build site is down or the completed Trebuchet is no longer there. We originally thought it might be because the wall got upgraded and that affected it but it now just happened again in SM while the cannons were still being built and not completed. I know some of you are going to ask was it killed from another Trebuchet or a player. The answer is no I can 100% guarantee it was not killed by someone else. I’m just trying to find out if this is a bug or intended and if it is happening to anyone else out there.

You have to touch siege weapons once every 30 minutes or they disappear.

Sieges lasts only 1/2 an hour if not remanned. Is it possible you were gone more than 1/2 an hour? Also. Why are you sure it wasn’t trebbed down etc. from another player?

I wonder if this was done to counter the siege forest that happened in one of the BWEs.

Yeah I’m positive it was not Treb’d down I just lost one tonight in SM that was up on the 3rd floor Terrace and the other teams did not have any trebs up yet. Just trying to get this figured out. The 30 minute timer I did not know about that is good to know.

I’m guessing that 30 mins applies to build sites as well?

There is a bug actually. We had a guy using a catapult from inside the keep to the outer gate. There was no damage on it and no one was hitting it and we owned quaggin camps. Then all of a sudden the catapult just disappeared mid reload. We were literally there and then poof gone. Not destroyed just the whole thing just vanished.

That… is… AWESOME!

I just built a superior trebut cost 42 silver and skill i built it on top floor of castle. Other area around were captured. I went to do Jumping Puzzle came back it was gone. If its true about you have to touch it under 30 minute or it disapper thing is stupid i will never buy seige weapons till they fix this. Plus it didnt get destroyed by another player or trebut took it out it just disapper. This game need to fix the Issue about the timer on Seige weapons or alot of people will be mad. I for one will never buy seige weapons again.

This happened with a catapult and an arrow cart I put down to have built today, after retaking a tower. I ran 2 supply runs from the nearest supply camp, and on my 3rd run back, i ran into some opposition. Managed to skirt past them, relatively unharmed. Get back in the keep to drop my supply into the catapult, and it’s gone. Go check on the arrow cart, it’s gone too. They were down for maybe 10 minutes.
