Guild Banners Disappearing
Noticed this while doing Teq with TTS the other day. Someone spawned a banner a few minutes before Teq spawned but the banner was gone before Teq died.
Ok, I don’t know if this is a bug or if this was intended. I also haven’t done this in a few months (until yesterday) so I don’t know when it was broken/changed.
I used to be able to drop a guild banner (like the gathering and swiftness banner) then alt hop to get the buff on all of my characters.
Now, since yesterday at least, when I do this (even when I get on the same IP) the banner is gone! I’m guessing they’re functioning like the spawnable npcs like black lion merchant and are destroyed when the character who placed it leaves the map.
Was this intended or is it a bug? Please say it’s a bug.
I’d like to know too. After the shafting we got with HoT in general so far as nerfs to drops (e.g. shovels, etc), small guilds, and so on, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that such a player-unfriendly “feature” was implemented.
No wonder folks don’t leave banners around for people anymore.
I did check the description, and it doesn’t say a thing about that, of course.
This is still happening. Guild banners disappear as soon as the character who planted them leaves the map. Please fix it, it takes a lot of enjoyment and functionality out of guild banners and it is sad to see so much fewer of them shared between players. If I plant a banner, I’d like to see it used and enjoyed by others for its full duration, not only for 2 minutes.
Aye it’s been going on over two months.
