Guild Wars 2

Right now there’s a problem people claiming camps/towers/keeps with no buffs just to either show off there banner or troll the server. Second problem is guilds that do have buffs claim something then hours later buffs run out and there’s no one on from that guild to release what ever they took so some other guild can claim it.
For first problem i was thinking they should add a requirement of a certain amount of buffs going to claim something.
Supply camps should have who is claiming at least one buff active and if they have only one buff it has to be the plus 5 to supply carry. Imo thats the most important buff for supply camps.
Towers should have who is claiming at least 3 buffs active and has to be buffs that gives stats not the plus to experience,magic find, ect. Keeps, garrison, and SM should have who is claiming at least 5 buffs active and has to be buffs that give stats not experience, magic find, ect. To qualify.

Second problem fix is to put a timer on after buffs run out so that the guild automatically releases what ever they have claimed. I say this timer should be like one hour.

Just my 2 cents

easier fix would be to allow guilds with superior buffs running to take over a claim. Even if a guild claims with 4 buffs running another guild with full buffs could come along and claim it, would benefit everyone to be getting the most out of it.
If the 2nd claiming guild then moved their buff to a 2nd location the game would reinstate the previous buffee as an anti-troll protection.

Thats a good idea too just something has to change

and banners need to at least have guild tags on them for easier identification [TAG] at the bottom under the symbol would not be difficult to add one would think.

Ya i forgot to mention that. That needs to be added too.

I agree with the OP. It is very frustrating to have a guild buff like +5 supply available to place on a camp, only to find that a guild that is running 0 buffs has claimed the camp. Oh, well I guess their pretty little guild emblem being displayed is all the buff we need. (/sarcasm off)

Or, have a server that works together and has guilds on it which will unclaim locations to allow a guild with buffs claim. Or guilds who didn’t activate buffs, activating after they claim. Not to mention a server where larger guilds claim and work with smaller ones to alternate and set times for each other to start buffs and get a location.

The only change to claiming I’d like to see is the addition of the guild name who has something claimed.

How about free repairs to claiming guilds too. That would give more reason to do it.

In DAOC there was pride in owning a keep. Your banners flew high and the guards had your guilds name on it – you were the people who would most likely respond to attack and you would fear certain towers because of the guild that claims it.

There needs to be greater rewards for claiming towers for the guilds that do it – their names need to be on the guards and also on the map after they claim (so you can bring up the map and see who owns what). There needs to be special guild only upgrades, and also the ability to control what upgrades go on the tower (to some extent). Their also needs to be a guild supply option that leaves a supply depot that is only accessible by guild members and guild approved upgrades.

Things like this need to happen to make this game interesting and make people actually want to claim / hold their land. Ofcourse it would be easier to implement this as well if the BG’s were bigger with more things to hold, so smaller guilds could hold smaller supply depots (and other things that could be added later).

Make it so that there are different tiers of active WvW guilds, and those tiers give certain guilds priority over others for a few minutes after cap. Make a 2-3 minute period where different guilds put their names into a bidding list, and the guild with the highest tier / points wins the claim. This will make it so that as long as your guild is present for the flip, the more active one will win the claim. Allow guilds to give up claim to other’s as well.
