5 Minute Patch Warning

Don’t know if there’s already a thread on this, I searched for one, but couldn’t find any.

So the basic idea is what’s stated in the title, any sort of warning for players in WvW for when a new patch is about to kick everyone out into LA. I really don’t think this is a hard thing to implement, of course I could be wrong, but I mean PvE gets one already, and the stuff people do in PvE requires way less resources than the stuff in WvW, like setting up siege, taking a tower or keep, or moving groups of people about. I can’t count the amount of times that I’ve been in the middle of a tower or keep cap and saw the patch warning pop up and run to the lord in vain to try and claim it quickly. So a simple warning of even 3 minutes would be really appreciated and would allow patches to be a bit less disruptive for everyone in WvW.
