Guild Wars 2

Is it true that unused siege equipments despawns now after only 30 mins? Couldn’t find any information confirming it in the update note but a player on our server told me so.

If that is true I’m finally done with WvW and possibly the entire game. This would only help servers with high population who have enough players to constantly spam sieges and completely ruin small servers with few players who actually drop them.
Being on the lowest tier on Fissure of Woe this would totally bash any improvements we have made over the last couple of days for the above reasons….

They always did. Now you can actually see the timer, instead of having to refresh siege absolutely every time you see it, you can check if it’s low.

It has always despawned after 30 minutes. See you later I guess.

Arrow carts in forts used to last for several hours, due to an “inconsistency bug” with the so called 30 minutes timer.

The only siege that actually dissappeared in 30 minutes was trebs and golems.

Now with the patch, everything is completely gone in 30 minutes. This is a huge change to the people who used to actively maintain fort siege.

Its not that bad for us to be honest. Theres usually at least a few people who will divert through a Keep whilst running past and refresh the siege.

Quoting this related post from another thread:

Sometimes people have a relatively decent point.

Then their post suddenly includes “WVW GUNNA DYE IF IT NOT CHAINGED”

As a regular Yak runner I pretty much stack swiftness on the Yak when getting close to a tower/keep and go in and reset the siege whilst im there and return to the Yak when hes still got around 10-12 seconds left on swiftness. With a guardian you can get 34 seconds on the Yak so it give you some time to fire a fair amount. Towers you can reset all, some keeps like the BLs are a bit more difficult but people are always going through those anyways.
