I've reported it in /bug AND the bug forums- and of course nothing has been done. Reticle (red and green arrow) not showing up. Anyone else having this issue?

    I've been having it more or less randomly for as long as I've been playing PVP, going on a year and a half now.

    Yep, happens to me all the time. Sometimes hopping off the siege and then getting back on will fix it, but that doesn't always work. So annoying!

    It always happens when you're trying to hurry and flag a keep, I have set 5 down before without being able to aim any... I've tried everyone's little trick and none of them work consistently. Tip, front door everything and carry lots of rams and repair kits.

    Yes, the green/red arrow not showing up. Very annoying since you cannot aim and they are fired right onto the floor.

    Yes happens on EU as well. Sometimes getting off siege and doing a dodge roll fixes it for me.

    Sometimes hopping on and off the siege works. Sometimes packing up the siege and setting it back down works. Sometimes nothing works.

    We shouldn't have to try a dozen things to figure out if it will make the bug go away when it's existed for this long and it affects gameplay like it does. I was hoping to get enough comments on a forum to get their attention since nothing else seems to. Every new patch, they come out with fixes for something mundane like outfits and nothing for Alliance War and it's so infuriating because there are so many bugs there.

    They may not know what's causing it anymore than we do. Its a very random bug for me, not apparently happening because of lag. It happens when I'm in group, when I'm solo sieging keeps, when I'm on use siege, new siege, multiple types of ballistas...

    Since the Dragon Bones patch, I’ve been completely unable to set down siege at Faregyl, BB, and BM and get a reticle. It was always buggy before, but now at those keeps, it’s impossible for me to siege.

    I can understand that @VaranisArano Does anyone know of a notice in a forum with them saying they're working on it? I haven't seen any replies, so far.

    This is why I've only used stone trebs at a point blank range for 3 years now. Been happening to me since I started playing in Thornblade.

    Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.

    If I remember correctly the issue was targeted in a patch waaaaay waaaaay back a long time ago. It never really left the game despite. Also siege has always been difficult. I remember they worked on stacking siege in the inventory but gave it up because the siege was buggy when you took it out of the inventory again. It’s one of the things they can’t fix and they therefore don’t touch it seems.

    Weird. I'm not a dev. Can't understand why siege specifically would be so buggy.
