New siege weapon
t3hdubzy

Anyone got some good ideas for new siege weapons?
Id like to see some form of ladder.... but since.ladders require a load, what about
Stairs on wheels? They already have stairs like at BRK, but if we overlayed it on a battering ram, and maybe require it be placed a certain distance from the keep? Would be a game changer.

✭✭Ladders, rocks you can drop on people climbing the ladders, some kind of craftable barricade, maybe something related to defending the towns. Something that takes time or control of the resources to prepare.0 -

✭✭✭I want something like the trailer of the elf shooting that green beam making the wall explode.
I could be some kind of siege weapon requiring 5 people to charge it up. They would have to sacrifice 50% of their mag/stam and 50% of their mag/stam recovery for the next 60 seconds.
The beam would melt a wall or a door during that 60 seconds.#VMATOKENSYSTEM #WEAPONDYE #TRAITCHANGE #CROWNCRATELOVER- Alliance/Platform: Aldemerii - PS4/NA - CP 800+

It's cleanse/pruge that make siege useless against players, no need to spam heals and drain your resources. I'll often stand out in front of siege to attract counter-siege while on my Templar. It relieves pressure on the zerg sieging behind me. IMO it's the way it should be. If you want to kill players come on down off that wall and engage in combat.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA2 -

This would definitely change the dynamic of sieging a keep. It would allow players to possibly take a keep with doing minimum damage to the walls and gates. Meaning they wouldnt have to spend too much time repairing. And the momentum could be shifted to the next keep sooner.Edited by Korah_Eaglecry on February 17, 2017 6:11PMPenniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax0 -

Zos has made clear they intend that no one should be able t enter a keep until the walls are down. They have corrected bugs and exploits that some players used for this purpose.1 -

Believe me I do come off the wall and even sometimes use siege in front of it.
But siege used to kill players as it should be a zerg buster.
When you are few defending against many you need artillery to be an equalizer.

Agreed, but if they design a siege tower attack that is similar to the time/effort it takes to bring down a wall, it would add a cool dynamic to sieging. Of course, they will also need to design a competent counter siege tower attack.
My suggestion is to create a trebuchet that throws actual players into the keep. Hahaha...can you imagine the scene of 20 trebuchets launching players into keeps? I know it's not realistic, but...1 -

This is a great idea; having it assembled and then slowly moving towards the wall. That would be really awesome.1 -

We can dream and lobby to change their minds
Honestly if you had to put the siege ladder so many feet away and the sleed was slow enough, it could work. Also once its placed, it doesnt move. Imagine dropping oil down that thing.
What about a bunker instead of a camp? Has a ballista in it similat to the bow ult, requires you to destroy it to take it out, does aoe dmg upon being destoryed to those inside or near it, being shot with range weapons while inside do more damage since they have to be head shots, but you also have 20 percent dodge chance.0 -

Then you have to trick the people in the enemy keep. "Hey guys we made you this awesome horse statue. It's a gift because we want to be friends. Just wheel it inside and you will get some candy."2 -

✭✭✭How about the same ranged weapons ballista/catapult/trebuchet that fire a new effect or element?
Maybe something derived or associated with the new warden class?
I'm talking about catapulting an angry bear onto the ramparts.

It would negate all other siege and I think the wall needs to be down to capture the flags. Certainly to cease transit.0 -

Oh nooooooo, you fooled me again with that Trojan horse. That's the 8th keep I've lost today.
