    Every ability costs health, scales with health, and needs health in order to cast. Core skills like blocking, sprinting, dodge rolling, bashing ,etc, cost health to.

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

    This is now a nerf snipe thread.

    Give siege unlimited range and then give us magical smoke to mark an area on the map for bombardment so we can call in a cold fire artillery strike on Allesia from 30 people set up in the courtyard at Arrius.
    Of course the people at Arrius would have to be dodging incoming fire from the DC set up at Ash.

    turn it into guild vs guild combat. You can damage anyone outside your guild and heal anyone inside it.

    cyrodiil will become warlord central overnight.

    all will lament the easy times when they had alliances backing them up.

    YES. Artillery strikes. Alliances have limited uses and the lowest ranked alliance gets the most.

    Anyone can call them in though. Griefing reigns supreme.

    Let us build giant wooden horses to leave outside enemy keeps as "gifts of surrender", so they pull the gift into the courtyard and break out the mead to celebrate thinking they've won. But we'll actually be hiding inside ready to jump out and kill them when they pass out in a drunken stupor.

    Not a bad fix as much a troll. Doubt they even can but, for April fools make Cyrodiil PVE only. Only for a bit all day would be absurd. See how many people realize the date or not.
    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!

    Friendly fire would be hilarious, the chaos that ensued would be better than netflix and chill.

    That would be funny, if the problem with April fools wasn't always time zones. April fools stopped being as funny when it lasts for multiple days. Is there an in universe equivalent of the day on the other hand?

    I'm pretty sure ZoS has done things for April Fools in the past. In game though, the closest thing I can think of is the Jester Festival.

    Add Volendrung to Cyrodiil.

    Just thought of another artifact. The Bow of Travel. This bow does no damage, has a range 100m and only has 1 ability. Any target it hits, is transported to a random spot in Tamriel. Not just a random spot in Cyrodiil, a random spot anywhere in the world. It could be a city, a delve, a hill side heck it could even be inside a vet trial. This attack can't be block, dodged or resisted. You get hit hit, and boom, you are ported anywhere in the world.

    Expand the lake in the center to cover the entire Cyrodiil map... then fill it with slaughterfish. Only allow fishing rod fights on the watersurface.

    Argonians will rule the world... uhhm, the now worthless keeps.

    Cyrodiil and the Imperial City are reworked into a new year long PvE content with detailed landscapes, better cities and a living, thriving Imperial City. All PvP is thus moved to and restricted to the Imperial City Arena. ;)

    In actuality though a part of me would love this, considering the other part of me that plays PvP is very, very miniscule. I'm very, VERY fed up with the Alliance War at this point and would not miss it.

    Enable non-combat pets.

    Increase intensity of effects by at least 100% (preferably 1000%).

    Change all set bonuses (not just 5 piece) to procs.

    Every 30 mins a daedric storm covers the entire map for 5 mins. Outposts are somewhat shielded with keeps being fully shielded. Players in outposts will be able to heal thru damage. Anyone outside an outpost or keep is killed instantly, inside the walls then you are safe. Fighting can continue inside the keeps.

    The shielding on one random keep will fail and all occupants will be killed. Anyone killed by the storm loses all AP. Flipping the flags will result in the losing faction(s) being killed by the storm.

    Mass Copy
    Guild Mage Skill Line
    Magicka ability

    Creates a copy of everyone in a 180m radius for 5 minutes. 30 sec cooldown. When the spell is about to expire, the remaining copies may express their desire to live. The caster may then choose to spare their existance, in which case they remain in Cyrodil forever.

    Make player collision a thing. Not only that, but make sprinting knock down people who arnt blocking and make mount sprinting knock down people who are blocking.

    Shield walls become a viable defense for breaches. Cavalry charges become an opener for field fights.


    Actually I take this back, it would be epic.

    Dragon mounts that allow you to fly in behind enemy lines and drop into a keep.

    and

    Ultimates only take 10% of needed points now to be fully charged but do same damage or whatever as now.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Buff guards and defensive fortifications at every keep, buff defensive AP gains again, and then spawn the hammer every hour... last wrinkle if no alliance has crowned an emperor then 3 hammers spawn, one for each alliance...

    Extra:
    instead of the Hammer, spawn the WabbaJack staff!
