kiyana.4831 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 So a few times recently I have been in wvw claiming a camp and someone comes along and kills me and instantly claims it for themselves. For example. I am blue team, I am claiming a green camp, I am only a tick away from claiming it. Red guy swoops in and kills me. The camp is instantly claimed for red with no waiting. Does anyone know what is going on here. Is this a bug or a mechanic I do not know about. This has happened several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) In WvW, when claiming objectives, either enemy will claim it at the same time, provided only one is in the circle, and the original owner can revert the claim just by reviving the Lord or Supervisor. This doesn't happen in PvP because there's only two teams there. Edited December 23, 2021 by Hannelore.8153 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really fun when you get to be the one who actually caps it. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you've killed npcs, you(blue) start to "tick" for capturing xyz(green) objective, but when Enemy(red) comes and fights on point, it becomes "contested", thus holding off your capturing process. If you die somehow to that enemy, he'll "continue" from where it stopped ticking to capture said objective(green), but it'll be toward his team(red). It's like someone else took over your progress and continued until it was finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite part is when an enemy is on the point as a Mesmer… And when they invis, or blur (or whatever that mechanic is called) and because they no longer count towards capture credit, you can cap it even while they are fighting you. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boh.4568 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 To be fair the ticking for the red guy should restart from zero when he kills you, instead of continuing from your progress. But if no one else is around it barely matters since a full tick is 10-20 secs tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
