What do you think of adding a one minute timer to re-spawning at a keep?

I feel like when groups fight between keeps, it ends up being a never ending battle, until one faction brings 3-4 times the numbers of the enemy. This is mainly because when one faction (faction A) pushes to an enemy keep (faction B), faction A can't put down siege because faction B overwhelms them, not because they just simply beat them in a fight, but because no matter how many times you kill an enemy, they are right back in the fight 5 seconds later, making death meaningless.

    You get a free respawn as long as the keep isn't flagged. Thats incentive to get out and fight, preventing the enemy from flagging your keep. Its also incentive for the enemy to set siege and flag the keep and defend that siege.

    There's already a 5 minute timer on respawning at a rez camp.

    If you cant manage to set down and defend enough siege to flag a keep, you either need more reinforcements or you need to fight better.

    and that's my point. 15 people, if they have killed the 10 defenders 3+ times, should be able to flag a keep, but they cant, because every time they stop to place a siege weapon the same person they just killed is on them again.

    unless you are dying almost as fast as you walk out the door, one minute shouldn't stop you from re-spawning when you die. What it does do is prevent people from just throwing themselves at an enemy group until it works.

    Its Cyrodiil. If your group of 15 can't manage to siege and fight 10 people, call for reinforcements. Or accept that you've lost that siege. Regroup, try again later.

    Look, I'm well familiar with EP's habit of potatoing up to Bleakers or Alessia, focusing on killing players, setting down a paltry handful or siege and then utterly failing to defend that siege long enough to flag the keep and stop the unending stream of AD or DC coming out to fight.

    Who's fault is that? Its the fault of EP. We potatoed. We focused on killing, not doing the one thing that would make a difference -sieging the darned keep til it flags.

    Don't be a potato. We don't need a 1 min timer that penalizes agressive defenders and incentivizes attackers potatoing around killing the same players again and again instead of seiging and defending your siege line to capture the objective.

    So.... ad a waiting time for the people that literally have to ride for 2-5 minutes to get back to a fight? ensuring they not only miss the end of the fight but the rewards too? That's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard here in the forums. PvP needs to be sped up not slowed down, its already painfully slow to get back to a fight when camps are not an option which happens most of the time.

    forgot to ask if that 1 minute is added to the 5 minute load screens or somehow just part of them?

    This depends very much upon how many people are in both groups. Group of 12 come to take a keep from one player and that 1 min timer means that player has no chance to respawn before the keep is flagged.

    The system as is, gives the defenders an advantage for 50% of the time until the Keep is flagged, when they are then at a disadvantage to the attackers. The system you are proposing would swing the advantage in the attackers favour greatly which doesn't make sense. When it comes to seige warfare, defenders should always start off with the advantage. Otherwise what's the point of building Keeps? If they put you at a disadvantage you may as well fight in the open.

    Drop a ram, man it with a mix of 6 tanks and healers, use siege shield above them, and the other 7 people are free to fight the to defenders - the keep will flag. Clearly this scenario changes with numbers, but there's enough keep turnover in Cyrodill to hint that in the majority of cases, respawn timers probably aren't needed.

    DC does the same *** thing at Chalman and Nikel, 30 fighters and 2 siege. Potatoing shouldn’t be rewarded. No more respawn timers. At least with the FC cooldown you can rez at the nearest keep and ride back. Making people lay there dead waiting for a timer would be asinine.

    The best fights are those running battles between keeps.. Are you saying that you'd rather replace them with more sieges?

    Plus how many times, while waiting for that timer, would I go make some coffee to come back and find I've been logged out to inactivity and now face a 50+ queue..?

    Sounds like a good idea. They could then also make the boundaries of Cyrodiil get smaller and smaller as time goes on. So that, as the population gets less, people are forced closer to each other to make sure the action never gets boring.

    They could call the campaign Forts & Knights or something similar.

    It would definitely be fast! At least until the meta shifted to stealthing out and waiting for everyone else to die...

    I wouldnt mind a longer spawn time when you die, but not for the reasons the OP says.

    Dying should be something you avoid with everything you've got. Most pvpers seams not to care if they die.

    There should be some delay, not the first rez but it should ramp up some from there.

    1st rez instant, 2nd one 15 seconds, 3rd 30 seconds, 4th you get the idea.

    They won't even come down off the wall of their unflagged keep until they outnumber us at least two to one. I wish people took dying less seriously, it would make for better fights.
