Remove/Re-design Alessia bridge?

✭✭✭✭✭YesI would just suggest to remove slaughter-fish from an area below the bridge, so people could simply "ignore" that bridge.
btw. If you are solo and want to cross there is a safer route below the bridge (a gap that you can safely cross without the risk of being murdered by slaughter-fish).0 -

✭✭✭YesRedesign the mechanics of Cyrodiil.
Right now the "giant" map of Cyrodiil is extremely tiny. Fights occur in the lanes between the inner six keeps while the vast majority of the map is totally empty.
If ZOS provided incentive to do something else besides zerg the lands between the inner six keep those Alessia bridge fights would not be nearly as frequent. The issue has to do with both the large population reductions due to bad game performance (only 1-2 major fights happening at a time these days) as well as lack of incentive to do anything besides AP farm at places like Alessia Bridge.
Also Alessia Bridge is a place I have awesome memories of. I could never imagine Cyrodiil without my bridge!

✭✭✭✭✭YesThe problem is.....
Cyrodil by design is all wrong.
Players behaviors have given ZOS more than enough feedback to what the PvP crowds want. They want PvP so while battlegrounds are coming, it's not an AP focus, so things like the bridge will continue.
Cyrodil should be broken into small campaigns where ppl can have death match that resets every 30 mins.
-Dueling should be in the activity finder and send participants to locations...this being one of them for at least 1 vs 1
-taking a keep could be a 12 vs 12 vs 12 or 24 vs 24 vs 24 activities using each keep that changes weekly for 30 min to 1 hour battles that reset
-scroll runs should exist but done as only half of 2/3rds of the map for 1-2 hour battles which reset
-then you have the towns that would be in the activity finder and take...and reset in 4, 12 man groups
Finally the larger Cyrodil would have a campaigns that resets once every 20 hours or considered as daily for one of each existing campaign types
That's my opinion at least....the current design doesn't make sense to me....I'm even wanting them to add PvE versions of taking keeps, scroll runs and just 1/3 map for quests only.

✭✭✭✭✭NoGranted, there are probably some that use the bridge to farm AP but it's a great tactical location, especially during an Emp push. There are places far less tactical that are used to farm AP.
In the end the bridge offers good PvP and that's the main reason for Cyrodiil.0 -
FluffyReachWitch✭✭✭✭✭NoIt's not an Alessia defense without first losing, taking, and losing the bridge all over again. Also, messing around with AoE in the gatehouse/tower is way too much fun.0 -

✭NoI'd rather they removed the rest of Cyrodiil and just left the bridge. However, there is still room enough in my heart for the rest of Cyrodiil to exist; but I wish it was smaller to match the lower population caps we've seen over the years.“Whatever.”

stevesherpa✭✭✭Actually - why not make the bridge "capturable" like a keep. Make it to where it can be "destroyed" by seig equipment and repaired of course. It gives incentive to capture a bridge and hold it rather than just use it to farm.3

This has been suggested before, but if the bridges and gates were capturable, you could get stuck in one part of Cyrodiil if all the exits from that area were destroyed.stevesherpa wrote: »Actually - why not make the bridge "capturable" like a keep.

@Sausage
No....people wouldn't as they already paid for Imperial City which was suppose to complete Cyrodil and over a year later a new complaint on PvP thread exists
Seems like people are asking for drastic change and not requesting new dlc at a cost....considering the Morrowind feedback threads on battlegrounds as that's a different type of PvP but doesn't address Cyrodil and IC-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

You has said F2P. Charging $20 is not F2P by any means and offers zero revenue source to keep the serves powered.
Besides, with your second idea it sounds a lot like ESO. Charge a one time fee and able to play in Cyrodiil all day long. It's been on sale for $20 multiple times.0 -

I omitted the suggestion for factions to have an option to buy "temp bridges" to lay down near the destroyed bridge so they could cross...again, incentives, for a faction to capture a bridge, in order for them to hold it, they need to repair it "not leave it cut off" - they may get double AP for successfully defending it. after a repair. Just some suggestions to add a different element to bridge fights and to bring more tactics to the open field battles.0 -

As much as I quite enjoy the utterly idiotic (but not pointless - ha!) back-and-forth fights that can happen at the bridge, it does get quickly tedious.
And there is nowt more depressing than being one of a stalwart few trying to defend a keep & looking at the map to see what's happening & the chances of help coming and realising that most of your bloody alliance is farming AP at the bridge and you are on your own.........0
