Guild Wars 2

I tried searching since I’m sure this has been asked, but when is the benefit for holding something actually counted?

The timer goes down to zero and then shows a set of dashes for several seconds. Then it resets and starts counting down.

If you finish flipping a camp or tower while the timer is showing dashes, do it’s points for that cycle count for you or for the prior owner?

Thx!

My two cents, I believe it takes it into account the moment it hits —:--
So, it wouldn’t count if you flipped it while it was resetting the timer. This is what I’ve “noticed” while playing, but I could be wrong.
