Player taking siege

blktauna

I've had players accuse me of picking up their seige before. Then I hit X and put it away to show it was mine indeed, I always pick up my seige before moving away from it.

That why I wish iy did this particular thing ore consistently. It takes ages to get out of seige, even if you hit alt.

On taking siege weapons, just for the other side of things, I very rarely do PvP and some of the few times I did, I just operated the weapons because I assumed they came with the keep. Granted, that's not going to be the case for everyone, but I had no idea players paid for them and brought them with them at the time. Add to that that I keep game chat hidden and for all I know people were screaming at me.

As a design choice it's a bit odd.

From my limited PVP experience, i haven't had people "steal" my siege stuff, but very very often someone runs off to fight or help someone else, gets killed, whatever, and I've taken theirs along with mine (and others in rotation) to keep up the assault, (course when i notice them return i let them control their own stuff).

Having the option to lock it might stop some griefing, but also loses the option for this sort of scenario.

This is a problem for sure, but it's not a common problem. More often than not someone using your siege is doing what we'd want them to do with it.

Just report the trolls that are aiming your siege away from objectives or ignoring your requests to get off your siege. They're trolling and violating the TOS by harassing you.

I agree, if some are not using their siege they are doing something else like fighting enemies so use it.
But as most put down two sieges or even more and perhaps run to the ram to heal or rez someone between shooting keep you eyes open and stuff like lancers are much more valuable than other stuff, rams are obvious for multiple players but stay out if not tanky.
And very very obvious if people are dead rez them before using others siege.
Now its years since playing anything than guild groups in Cyrodil.

When 2 players try to use a piece of siege just have the game check who the owner of the piece of siege is and automatically give the owner priority (game kicks whoever else is using/trying to use it off in preference of the sieges owner).

Also make siege generate any AP they accrue with a 70/30 split between owner/user, owner gets rewarded for providing extra siege and user gets a smaller reward but no cost of providing their own siege equipment.

So first couple of players at the keep drop all their siege so others can't place their siege. You know this would happen if the player dropping the siege got most of the AP. Should always consider how a new idea could be abused because if possible it will be.

Yes, that is the worst thing, some guy camps your siege instead of rezzing you. Sigh.
