Will anything be done to make bridge repair attractive to the players? So we are able to play more strategically. Is the repairing of bridges free? I can't imagine the majority wanting to spend gold or AP on repairing them, if they receive no AP, especially after the reduction to defensive ticks. People are already reluctant to repair, since the repairs for walls and doors cost more than they give.

I also think this will limit the few paths that we have to reach keeps and put us on more predetermined gank paths the whole night. Isn't the whole point of PvP supposed to be that we could strike anywhere at any time?

Basically, the opposers will be like "Ok. We blew up the bridge. So now they can only come from here. Let's wait at X marks the spot for them." I'm not seeing any strategical options yet for the keep sieging groups, unless we're still missing some key information about how repairing will become attractive for them, or if some other compensating factor will be in place."

I'll still give it a try first, and see for myself if these changes are good or bad for Cyro.

Oh one more question. Has the development team thought of having the original campaigns and the new style campaigns up? So people have more choices in PvP Cyro as opposed to the very repetitive nature of a single campaign type.

People are forgetting just how narrow the river is at Alessia. You don't need the bridge to cross, people just jump across with their mounts. Its a common tactic to bypass the farmers.

See the dev comment in this thread. Not for long...

Wheeler said they changed it... no more river crossing spots.

So, why wouldn't repairing bridges provide AP.

How does the repairing of the bridge differ significantly from repairing a keep wall/door?

Since bridges are more out in the open than keeps, wouldn't it make more sense for them to offer AP for repairs than even keep walls/doors? (I maintain both should).

So people can't just destroy a bridge just so they can repair it.

I can understand they don't wanna have birdge-emps but maybe it would be an idea to make bridge/Milegate-repair grant some kind of minor reward just not AP?

Haven't read all the posts so this may have been asked, but can you destroy a bridge with people on it? Then they will fall into a river full of slaughter fish

Interesting, I look forward to seeing this in-game! The bugs that this introduces will probably be equally interesting :P

*Future Patch Notes*

-Fixed a bug in Cyrodiil that caused all players within a 200m radius of a bridge to spontaneously die upon its destruction.

One can only hope.

But more importantly, will you get AP from all those people who got eaten by the fish when you destroyed that bridge.

If you damaged them while doing so, probably.
But if you just knocked down the bridge, maybe not.

I find the damage from the slaughterfish big enough as it is. Also, it should give you some notice where those fishes are. I am all the time scared to enter in water afraid of those darn things to start biting.

You do not get AP for repairing bridges or milegates.

Thank you for the clarification. While I worry about a lack of incentive to repair bridges, infinite AP is worse by far.

Meh. Bridges ceasing to exist due to never being repaired actually impacts the gaming experience.

Then again, people serious about getting their zerg across will repair the bridge.

What is going to happen is someone is going to log on with one faction character to repair the bridge so that they can tell their main faction to zerg across the bridge they just fixed.

Will Cyrodil be completely reset when the patch goes live?

... Niben River has been widened in various locations and the shore lines adjusted so there are no ways out of the river ...

Or so you think ...
Last time i checked one could still glitch through slaughterfish infested waters in Cyrodiil, simply widening the river won't make a difference and neither will adding rocks to the shoreline.

Why do you think they are nerfing shields? To get all those streaky Sorcs out of Cyrodiil so they can't bypass their new bridge mechanics.

Except the glitch i'm talking about does not involve shields and can be done by any class ...

As they are currently implemented, they will not self repair over time.

again, totaly awesome and Thank you!
