Okbutforreals - Those wooden stairways on the Chalman Gate.

Watching people run into them is pretty hilarious.

Also being shot into the air for no reason by the humps at the top platforms is super fun.

If I were constructing stairways for gates during wartime, this is exactly how I would make them.

Doesn't look like they put much thought into it, looks like they just did a copy & paste job from the original stairs. They just needed to make the original stairs go up to the top or not have the new stairs go all the way to the bottom floor. Four sets of stairs going to the ground floor is just too much and it's blocking the doorway.

I agree. Whoever designed those stairs is a ***, even a gorilla could have done it better.

Actually the gorilla who was developping at ZOS quit his job after seeing the level of incompetence of the decision makers.

Me.. every time I run into those darn stairs

Yeah I keep forgetting they added those wooden stairs to those milegates keep running straight into them on my horse. 5 seconds of being caged under a stairs every time I'm running to Chalman.

Every time i get stuck in one of those stairs, I'm so close to Alt+F4 and uninstall.

Hnnnnng.

I hate those stairs, be it those at Chalman gate or even in keep towers. I fall so many times climbing those in a hurry. Now I don't even bother turning my mouse (only aligning and pressing directional buttons), the darn corners are a pain when you got Major expedition on...

If you really want to troll, wait to cast rapid on the group until just before you hit the 2nd floor going up.

I like one thing Mojar said. The outside stairs should go bottom > 2nd floor, the inside ones should be from 2nd floor > 3rd floor.

Vyle_Byte

Agreed. Those stairs are ridiculous. Dunno why they thought that was a fine idea. Just something else in the world to get stuck on. Recipe for disaster, fortunately I haven't done any fighting at the gate since... I can imagine myself getting pretty angry at those stairs in a fight lol!

Nah that suggestion made too much sense. I would prefer if they made it so all stairs go from bottom to top floor with the middle only reachable by dropping down from top floor

Force-Siphon

NERF THE STAIRS!!! they should show up on my death recap during gate fights when I get stuck at the bottom under them lol

Seems like the perfect spot for a #DoughnutOfDeath

We are such a fickle bunch aren't we?

We got those stairs cause ppl cried about the original structure that people could skillfully climb on top of and rain down oils etc. So instead of FIXING that BS. ZoS decided to make the stairs go all the way up. However, (and here's the real gem of it all) The way Cyrodiil has been and changed since the patch has made it so NO ONE FIGHTS there anymore!!

No one climbs up there because now they don't have the advantage rofl. Taking the shortcut and putting in those godaweful stairs instead of correcting the real issue to begin with. Pure ZoS epic fail for the course. Once again.

I don't think anyone is complaining about the actual function of the stairs.

Just that they were so poorly implemented.

Hahaha best post in the thread.

Also, I still like to get fights at the gates. Unfortunately though I am AD, so I only have one gate nearby to fight at. DC on my server takes 30mins to decide where to go, so we can be waiting at that gate forever... or we can go do something fun. When we get the chance to get in 3-way fights at chalman gate/mine are the best though.

You can't just go where you want to fight and always expect people to show up.

Can't gate farm a faction that's all in the sewers.

Nah, but I can turn my guild into a bunch of monkeys and we can jump all over that new jungle gym rofl.
