Siege Changes

Astanphaeus

With all of the changes to sieges, one that I would love to see added is the ability to pick up your siege when someone else gets on it or otherwise kick them off it. Everyone who has ever dual- or tri-sieged has had some pug jump on their siege. There needs to be a way to stop this.

Agreed.

Yeah you have to press a synergy and the siege theft gets kicked or so

Septimus_Magna

Yes please!

This happens so often, some sneaky little bugger steals one of my sieges and starts hitting the wrong wall, the ground or the postern door..

Bad idea, I prefer to be able to purge myself over kicking someone from my siege.

As much as I find it annoying when someone hijacks my siege, I'd be careful about asking for change. It can be useful for others to use any siege. If you want to kick the door fast, more siege is better, and that can mean putting down siege for new PVPers to use. The fact that players can hijack it is not unlike players leaving worms after taking the ancestor silk, or being able to grab a chest on a failed attempt. There is an element of player morality here, but who knows what kind of bugs will appear if you try to code that out. +1 to the idea, but tread lightly please.

If I'm defending myself (and don't need help), please DO use my siege. It's better than having it collapse unused.

Who cares? I'm happy to have someone jump on my siege and contribute to the fight.

But they're not contributing. In the cases I'm talking about, they are taking siege that was already in use, and half the time they do something stupid with it, like hit the door on postern doors or hit the wrong wall or hit the postern house and in the specific instance that prompted me to start this post, the pug decided to use my stone treb to try hitting players instead of the wall. Even if they were hitting the correct thing though, like I said the siege is still already in use, so another person taking over the siege isn't adding thing to the effort, at best things are staying the same.

Now I do recognize that there are ways in which having someone take over your siege can be useful, I just think there should be a way to kick the useless ones off.
