Just as it says: tell me your WORST idea to fix Cyrodil!
Please do not bring up something the devs are doing as a snide way to say you hate it, but give me your actual WORST idea!

I'll start..... ENABLE FRIENDLY FIRE! All skills now hit everyone! You can heal members of the opposing alliances, you can damage your allies.
How this fixes balance/lag? Well if siege, AEOs and heals can now hit people you decidedly do NOT want to hit, people are bound to be more careful and use less of them.
Tada, FIXED. I'm so smart. No possible flaws in this plan.
Alright, what is your absolute worst idea? Share it!

    Introduce a powerful artifact that will randomly spawn on the map. This item will be OP and can knock down walls in about 20 seconds. This artifact can be used by anyone, but will end up in the hands of whichever alliance is currently dominating the map,

    Turn all Damage-Over-Time & Area-Of-Effect abilities into Instant Direct-Damage attacks! The reduced ticks and calculations will surely fix all lag, make gameplay more fair and balanced, and have no possible unforeseen consequences!


    What could go wrong?!

    Add a bunch of proc damage sets so all you have to do is hold block and your enemy dies when they attack you.

    PvE Cyrodil as it not much PvE content, I done enough too get the Cyrodil quest award and extra quests I had picked up while doing PvP or achievements.
    All the pve stuff is pretty lightweight as in side quests and its not more than in any other zone. IC is worse.
    Now an midwinter celebration limited PvE campaign could perhaps make some sense although I was just killed once and that was my own fault, not all Khajiit is AD.Plenty of them in Alkir.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    years ago, I actually suggested this idea.. I offered the concept that x number of players could go to a summoning site and call forth some giant monster based on faction (ie.Numidium) to attack an opposing faction. We see this concept implemented in the game CONAN EXILES:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j05v4NWNRrw

    Might be good for zerg busting... The opposing alliances could directly attack the "construct", or choose to find and disrupt the summing/control circle 9all summoners locked into the circuit while the avatar is active. Maybe add a minigame for each summoner to stay in-sync with the others, and increase or decrease the summoned monsters powers.

    Think Godizilla.

    To fix performance and provide ultimate balance, all abilities, siege, sets and mounts are now disabled. You will now run around and whack each other with sticks!

    Randomly assign each player a faction and group upon entering the campaign. For best effect, reinstitute group-only healing and add a 15-minute penalty (a time out or a severe debuff) for dropping your group. Requeing for a different faction has a longer time out to discourage friends and guild groups (ball groups especially) from trying to play together.

    What? It'll be great. We'll all be in PUG raids, with a few players dropping out for small scale and solo play, just like ZOS seems to want with their previous "behavioral changes." :lol:

    I would legit be interested in taking part in Caveman Wars: Cyrodiil, haha

    Everyone is just running around in that Nordic Bathing Towel, carrying a barbaric club, swinging wildly at anything that moves.

    No more alliances, either! Unga bunga free-for-all!

    Everyone meet around Alessia Bridge!

    For best effect, all players should have their initial spawn be randomized across the map.

    Give everyone 1 health so the first one to hit the other always wins. Perfectly balanced game play.

    Tweak LOS so you no longer take any damage if you're even near a wall or a rock. No more running around in circles; now you can just stand there and be invulnerable. That's gotta cut down some calculations, right?

    Whenever a lone player is beset and killed by a Zerg group, the Hand of Judgement comes down from above killing the entire group instantly, deleting any earned AP for the session and preventing reentering Cyrodil for 24 hours.
