New Siege needed

Hello all,

This is an idea for a new siege item that would make things a lot of fun. I see that there was a previous post about siege ladders and towers, but how about a siege ramp ballista or catapult. The ramp ballista would be just like the one from the initial game trailer, where a ramp is shot into the keep and then pulled up so you can get onto the walls. The catapult would launch a player up onto the wall, if they missed, the fall damage would kill them. These could have achievements for their use also as well as deaths from use. By allowing players to get onto the keep wall while it's being sieged would open up more strategies required to attack and defend keeps. These could be really fun.....

    A single guy on a wall? Not very efficient. Also, they are trying to decrease the stuff in Cyrodiil to reduce lag, they are more likley to take something out, than add anything at this point.

    A single sniper in stealth can do a lot to disrupt defending a keep. The ramp ballista would allow more than one person to go up it though. Say if they had a 10 person maximum per ramp. That's plenty to get into a keep and cause all kinds of chaos.

    A unique Siege Ability for every race would be kinda cool. Like Fus-Ro-Dah for nords and other races having something equivalent..... not 100% sure how they'd implement it tho, it'd either have to have a very harsh individual cooldown (like shouts in Skyrim did) or not effect other players else it'd just be too OP.

    It would be very cool though.
