Guild Wars 2

I thought the whole point of claiming the towers / keeps were to basically use your influence to buy upgrades shouldnt guilds be required to have art of war level 1 min before they can claim a keep? I mean it is taking up slots from guilds that would provide bonuses.

It would be nice if they implemented an “override” system, basically letting established guilds claim bigger objectives so it could be defended better. In a sense, if a guild with no upgrades claims SM and there is a guild with every upgrade at SM too, it is almost like griefing your server. Most likely it is not intentional and the smaller guild just wants recognition but there really should be a system in place for the competitive side of WvW.

Dont know about override since you have a build time for upgrades, but if a guild is not able to buy any at all. Then they shouldnt be able to claim it.

I can’t even claim keeps due to bugs 95% of the time.

I personally dont have bugs claiming it.

oh dear, its another “I want to keep out people I consider beneath me” thread.

No. They have as much right to claim stuff as you. get over it.

No i do not want to keep people beneath me out, its just they cannot buy upgrades with influence so whats the point?

This is such a non-issue. New guilds dont stay new very long.

Also there are no bugs with claiming right now.

How it works: when an objective is taken the guild with the most participation gets the first rights to claim an objective. After about 1-2 minutes if the objective remains unclaimed than anyone can claim it.

So if a new guild is fielding 60 members and wants to claim it, frankly I dont have a problem.

Point is if they cant utilize it with influence they are only hurting their team.

They can buy upgrades the same as everyone else. I am AGAINST this idea of being able to claim keeps out from under smaller guilds.
I do give the larger guilds the oppritunity to claim all the larger keeps hoping they will use buff’s on them etc, but most of the time they don’t either.

IMO, the Art of War level should determine which building your guild can claim, from Camp at level 1 to Castle at level 4. I don’t think it’s an important issue though.

It isnt important because there will be very few guilds without upgrades in 2 months.

Not worth spending a second of developer time on.
