Guild Wars 2

Something very strange happened this morning and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Our server is Red this week. So there I was soloing a Blue camp, killed all the mobs, the circle turned Red and the progress bar started to fill. At what seemed to be the very last tick of the bar a Green thief entered the circle and its colour switched to light blue (contested). So far so good, but in less than 5 seconds (we had only exchanged a couple of attacks) the camp simply flipped to Green and all the mobs spawned. Both of us were definitely still inside of the circle.

Has anyone experienced this?

yeah i think it’s abug.we rezed the lord and some of us were in the circle and tower still got capped

@Selan, So you must’ve had two lords in the tower? I saw this happen at a camp where the supervisor was killed outside the circle range and the camp got capped, while the sup got rezzed by a thief. There were 2 supervisors and it was hilarious. But since in OP’s case both opposite teams were inside circle, it shouldn’t have capped at all. Weird bugs :/

Theres one stupid thing with capturing circles. It doesn’t progress as 3 teams, only defending and invading. What that means is that if Team A owns the camp and Team B comes and cleans the camp and starts capture, so far so good. Then Team C arrives when the camp is around 50% capped and kills all of Team B. Now they continue from where the Team B left the capping process and only have to cap the ring from 50% →

Now what happened on your situation, I believe, is that in some part of the battle you went invisible or invulnerable. If you do either of those you are not considered as a person inside the ring so the enemy continued to capture where you already had capped and captured the camp for his team.

A quick fix for this would be that the capturing process somehow knew which team was capturing it and that the enemy has to decrease it back to zero before he can start to cap it for his team. I dont know how hard it is to alter the event system, maybe even impossible, but yea.

Hopefully this helped you mate

Yeah that would explain it because I did go invisible (had a couple of clones out though).

Look like a bug to me, since it works correctly with lone sentry veteran mobs as far as I remember (or maybe it works correctly only for the team that initially owned the place). Anyway, I’ve definitely seen those bars decreasing, so the mechanic is already in game, hopefully this will be fixed uhm… in a few months ;>
