Heres a few things, in my opinion, that would make siege war enjoyable again.

1) Keep gates immune to DoT's. This is good, no reason why a gate should bleed.
-However, the Dex Scroll from the throne should be able to do damage, as it is a siege weapon itself.
-Bleed icons should show, but the damage from bleeds should show as "0" dmg. This allows rogues to actually execute their rotation on gates.
-If theyre immune to DoT's, then it is only fair, and logical, that they should be immune to HoTs. I am a druid/scout main myself, have been since the end of Chapter 2. I know exactly what this would mean.

2) Siege vehicles/engines, make them playable. Make them mobile. Make them part of siege again.
-Scale them up so that they are immune to crits (all damage is regular damage), immune to bleeds (its a siege vehicle, again, why should it bleed?)
-Figure out a way to make it so they dont get stuck going up/down a small bump for 5 minutes.
-They should be taking reduced damage. They shouldnt be taken out in the first 5-10 seconds they're attacked. 50%-75% damage reduced from whatever the current Siege War damage reduction is. For example, current damage reduction is 50% on players, 50% of that would mean you'd be doing 25% of your total, unreduced damage. This being said....

3) The damage/heal reduction in siege war needs to be implemented. 90% reduction ftw. It is about damn time.
-I think it is unfair to judge siege as it is because that part of the patch was taken out after they realized heals weren't reduced.

4) When gates are taken down, then rebuilt, they should come back as weaker versions. -15% of the original gate's stats.
-Stackable so that each time theyre rebuilt, they come back as -15%, -30%, -45%, and then can't be rebuilt.

*For example, start of siege you pound on the enemy's gate, the original gate has 100% of all its attributes. You take it down, and then you die and they have a chance to rebuild. The gate that they rebuild *on that spot* is rebuilt with 15% less attributes than the original. If you take that particular gate down again and they rebuild it for a 2nd time, the gate that comes up spawns with -30% of the original gate's attributes (they come back up full health, only attributes are reduced). Then, destroy/rebuild again would be -45%, and after that one (the third of the same gate being taken down), the gate cannot be rebuilt.
**Reason for this is that since damage should be reduced, gates immune to bleeds, and hopefully engines needed to take down gates, those who overpower have an easier time getting inside the enemy's castle.

----------------------------
These are just a few ideas to get siege going again. I've been playing since chapter 2, and have been in those sieges where the tower guards need to be kited to cap a tower, I have used siege engines and rode them around ramming people/gates (or atleast, tried to, until they got stuck). I miss those days. The current siege isnt much fun as it is being a 1 shot fest, and it is basically who can get the most kills and interrupt tower capping the best.

Some sieges shouldnt last the whole hour, some should. But *NO* siege should be done in ATLEAST the first 10-15 minutes. It is a CASTLE, it should be HARD to take down a castle gate.

I have played Siege War in lowbie guilds, where they emphasize merit farming, defenses, locking down the middle, bottle-necking bridges so that the opposing guild could not pass.

I have also played in the top guilds in the U.S., where the general mindset is: Bum rush to their gates and take it down as fast as possible and win siege in 6-8 minutes. Thats not fun. When you sign up for siege the night before, expect to go the full hour, regardless if you're PPK, Bteam, Heretic, or just a lowbie guild.

Just a suggestion, but you should move this to a new thread in the discussions section, because these are all good ideas and it's hard enough for our forum mods to see posts that are on the main page let alone posts in the middle of a topic

Well, also had the idea of gates only being able to be healed with merits...but too radical for rom.

Quoted from "Harout123;541792"

gtfo that was my idea from guild wars 2

Quoted from "masterdesh;542253"

i agree seems like str and wis stacked players kind of get screwed on that one

Quoted from "L3g3nd;543424"

+1 bring back bleeds.

Why do tick classes like r/s have to suffer while non-tick reliant classes like mages still get to own?

BRING BACK BLEEDS.
