Would cyrodill be better if you couldn’t bypass keeps?
As in either direction each faction moves, it must have the keep behind it.
It would promote unorganized groups to actually have some sense in knowing where to go.
It would force traffic in two directions, and guilds and alliances will be forced to fight together towards objectives if they rather not be gated. Just a thought.

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, so you put your zerg in the frontline keep and now it becomes the game of who has a bigger zerg. Because you can no longer take one of the scroll keeps to force some of the defenders to go retake it or prevent them from funneling to the sieged keep.9 -

If you want organization, join an organized group. It's really not rocket science.

✭✭✭✭✭If you are struggling to find fights, go to the front in between two keeps owned by opposing factions.
Or, if you are in a group, go make your own fights. Alessia Bridge is traditional, but resources also work.
Also seconding the advice to join an organized group. I've tried PUGs and it drives me nuts when we can't even all get to the same fight.0 -
redspecter23✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Leave it as itThis change would just hand every win to the faction with the largest population. If you're lower pop you have nowhere to go and nothing to do until more of your faction logs on, which is never going to happen as you create a void of perpetual losing and bleed away players from the losing side.
Anyway, horrible change with very little thought put into the repercussions.3 -
Kagukan✭✭✭✭✭
✭Hmmmm. Could be interesting in a way. I do love the large keep battles as long as the lag doesn't get too bad. Would hurt many smaller resource groups and also kill much of the strategy though.0 -

✭✭This, it's a classic trash post example
Second and third options are essentially the same, and OP has to add some biased comments thinking he's smart2 -
Sygil05✭✭✭Leave it as itAren't two of these options basically the same? Either way, it needs to stay as-is because this suggestion would just push Cyrodiil into larger zerg v zerg battles. It would also give a huge benefit to whichever faction currently has the largest population on, and really make playing in an underpopulated faction awful.0

✭Leave it as itWhat is the nonsense after the options?
I go flag keeps solo to get away from zerging at obvious targets. Once the keep is flagged, I call for minimal help to come for smaller scale fight
Would people really want to change open world PVP into some linear capture the flag scenario? PvDoor is annoying but this would be far worse.

✭✭✭Leave it as itLeave it as is, but have AP capture for keeps greatly reduced if it's an empty keep. All too often it's the solo's and small groups that are stuck defending while the 24 man groups zerg down empty keeps for easy AP and don't even hold it for evaluation.
Lowering AP would make them more likely to actually start helping out with their zergs instead of just farming AP and they might actually learn how to play the game in the process.

✭✭✭I suggest gaining significantly more experience in Cyrodiil before recommending such drastic changes.
I did not vote because I feel the poll is a self-aggrandizing gimmick.

✭Stop it. Part of the fun is all the options on places you can go try and take or places you need to defend. I would honestly get bored if I just had to watch one place or go to one highly defended place. Ugh.

That is already the case today. Have you not noticed that your tics are larger, sometimes much larger, after taking a defended keep?

RedRook✭✭✭✭Leave it as itIf your cool new idea for gameplay in Cyrodiil contains the concept of "forcing" players to _____, it's a bad idea. That's never the right answer.4 -
Katahdin✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Leave it as itNo
It would make Cyrodiil very linear and predictable and much less strategic and fun. Plus it would cause more bunching up in the same place. The server would probably have a melt down

dem0n1k✭✭✭✭✭
✭Leave it as itToo many players already turtle up in the front line keeps with cold fire ballistas at the ready to smack down any incoming siege. This is just incentive for them to stay there & not come out & fight. By being able to bypass the front line keep to the next or an outpost you can cut off the transitus & encourage enemy players to come back & fight.
