    This. Seige is not supposed to be some minor nuisance. ZOS' intent for it was area denial. As it was pre-patch it noone even cared that they were standing in oil. I personally would just alternate between my sorc shield and a mini heal to keep myself alive. While the damage right now might be a bit extreme, I don't think it should be dialed back all that much.

    And no...this doesn't mean all people will do is sit on a wall and click buttons. In the battles I fought today (ALL DAY) what happened was we started thinking of new ways to take keeps, and siege destruction became top priority. Once you're through the doors and in the keeps it's business as usual.

    And if the problem is your tower/resource farming and ganking was ruined, c'est la vie. Adjust your tactics. I got no love lost for mega-tank time wasters.

    I stepped in siege once today and got vaporized before I figured out how awesome this is. :lol:

    The ball groups are getting destroyed and it's hilarious. I had more fun today than I had in months.

    Keep the siege deadly, maybe not THIS deadly, but I like the idea of a flaming catapult bomb actually killing people.

    No, it's just means i prefer to actually PvP. i mean if you like this, that's fine, you just get some siege go to a rss and kill some guards. you'll be alright.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno have the team check the data on lag and population numbers for last night primetime Vivec NA. I have a feeling that "OP" seige killing off players was helping with keeping the lag in check. Alot of us actually enjoyed fights last night and there were plenty of players on the screen.

    Yeah that was the first time I actually could kind of play solo last night. It was still really laggy and still feels like you need group padding to have a good time but definitely not completely unplayable.

    This, Vivec NA was enjoyable and actual PVP last night. No lag, no ball groups running over everyone, just fighting without having to worry about input lag.

    keep shor/lowbie pvp unseiged lol.

    Otherwise, balance is fine. CC actually stops you from firing the siege and getting off while it has a decent cast time to drop it; if you arent a tank 9/10 times you can yolo kill a sieger.

    Yea it was laggy, but I could bar swap, cc break, cast jabs accurately and otherwise be reactive. But on Murkmire, cyro was unplayable to the point where you can see jabs take a full 4 seconds to fire and good luck bar swapping to your heal lol.

    Before yesterday the most common cyrodiil tactic was to bring more and more people until the other side can't use skills anymore. Then you win when they disconnect.

    How is that balanced?

    i about died laughing when I saw a yellow Zerg big enough to crash the whole server die off in mass at the nickel mile gate.

    Don't fix this. Im not done enjoying it.

    Come on man don't be like that, it's broken. It almost completely prevents the small scale taking of keeps. People are setting up siege to Xv1 FFS. Its being used to troll, people are avoiding fights to use siege instead. It's not good.

    Also this is not a lag fix lol. While siege could be stronger and I do see some of the appeal, thats not a bandaid fix to lag, and its currently way too strong.

    Chiming in to support leaving sieges like they are.

    Great fights. ~500ms lag at most, as opposed to the typical 3-4sec spikes in the prime time.

    Milegate fights actually have a point now (that Vivec's 2 hour ash gate to nik back and forth fight).

    In my honest opinion this bug is the best change happened to Cyro in 3 years^_^

    Just look at the opposing opinions here Miat.

    It's almost like you can pick out exactly *who* runs in a warden earthgore ball group.
