Guild Wars 2

I just witnessed the Stoic Rampart keep on Blackgate Desert Borderlands upgrade when it had 10 minutes left for the upgrade. I’ve also seen where towers go from basic after just being captured to reinforced in less than 15 minutes. Is this actually a bug or can guilds/players rush the upgrades? If not then the timers seem to be bugged. It doesn’t happen to every tower it seems to be random.

Arriving dolyaks reduce the auto-upgrade-timer by 5 min, so two dollys arriving at the garrison, at almost at the same time, make the timer “jump” 10 min ahead.
This is not a bug.

I thought anet hadn’t implemented this yet.

Old (pre HoT) upgrades to “towers”:
>> Coin unlocked the upgrade that required a set amount of supply to arrive via dolyaks

Current (HoT) upgrades to “towers”:
>> Auto upgrade via timer, no supply required (so dolly upgrade does not increase the upgrade speed), arriving dolyaks take away 5 min off the timer.

Plans for upgrades (see link above):
>> The timer remains, but is not ticking down automatically; the number of arriving dolyaks reduces the timer.

What remains uncertain, due to lack of info:
>> Will the new mechanic still use a timer (with minutes) or a number of required dolyaks (which could make more sense)?
>> Will increased supply delivery or a supply drop reduce the timer twice as fast (or count as two dollys)?
>> Will there be changes escort rewards, as dollys become more important (and dolly escorts have always been very badly rewarded)?
>> Will camp upgrades be changed too, as arriving dollies trigger progression with camps (and killing all leaving dollies will also prevent the camp progression, which could mean you could kill all dollies to prevent any upgrades if the auto timer is removed)

We need to hear more about the subject to know for sure.
