Deliver the Payload

max_only

Hey, there’s an overlooked feature in your game that you can expand into a whole new mod.

When there are 6 people on a battering ram, it moves forward. So with that in mind:

Pve version:
You could implement a daily for a group event of “deliver the payload”. Wave after wave of “highwaymen” and marauders trying to attack the Cyrodiil Collections Caravan/ Elsweyr caravan. Southern Elsweyr The passage to Helgen is full of dangerous passes and merchants needing protection. A new BG mode might be just the ticket to hook people in for 4th quarter!

Pvp version:
You could make the above pve quest where you protect the cart through the dangerous passage as a training for a pvp mode where we have to get the cart safely past other players. You already have teleport sigils in Battlegrounds that you can place strategically in the map. You’ve got everything you need.

Get on the cart! C’mon ride the train! Choo-choo mother fetchers!

It is something different!

Save the merchants!!!

I like this idea.
For a PvE experience, it would add more life to the world, not just something "else" to do.

a quest that isnt go fetch my slippers or some other inane suchness would be nice.

Kinda reminds me of the glory of archeage when you made a crafted trade pack of apple pies or cheese or something like that, and had to transport your pack to a trade in point in enemy territory. So much fun. Did you team up with a slew of friends for herd protection, or try it solo and stealth, basically was the choice to make. If you got attacked and killed, the enemy got your pack. It was great fun, all these crafted packages and the hopes of getting a big payout, and nerve wracking as you prayed no enemy pvpers noticed your group.

Sometimes.

Other times, it might fly into the room above the keep door! Or maybe it jerks spastically around! Or sometimes it turns in gentle little circles....

Exactly what I was thinking.

This isn't TF2. You can find that game mode there.

Capture the flag and domination are also in TF2.

Dont care. I found it boring and lame in TF2. No reason to think it wont be boring and lame in ESO.

"Hey guys let's just camp this choke point and wait for the wagon to get here so we can have a 15 minute stand off til the map ends."

Always the same stand off at the same spot every single time.

Bleh
Total waste of dev time.

How about doing a real way for guilds to have guild vs guild matches without finding some remote area of Cyrodiil to fight?

Okay. Create your thread about that. I’ll bump it for you the way you’ve been bumping mine. :>

There's a reason no one walks the ram to the door of a keep if they can help it.

Yes, B/c it’s slow. Hence the challenge of the game mode. Also this cart would be on a programmed “rail” so it doesn’t do 360s.

Hey I watched a video on redtube with the same title!

Awesome...and since we're already "stuck in combat", pushing a cart on foot across Cyro will fit right in.

The op clearly states isn’t not going to be in Cyrodiil.

Well they could expand on the theme. The payload doesn’t have to be a merchant’s cart, it could be an alchemical experiment to blow up a stubborn stone Atronach or something.

Then how is it going to fly up into the room above the keep door?

You got me there.

This would be a breeze to run through Jabba’s Palace if you just surrounded the payload with Enforcers. Nerf Wookiee Warrior!

Oops - just had a flashback of SWBF2 from a year ago! Great idea, nonetheless!
