This meta of aoe doorways is boring a/f , if siege destroyed structures (say rock lobba) to a side of building .. even if it was slower..people would not be able to run stupid aoe meta for doorways.

I agree, one of the biggest thing I miss from DAOC is how the siege mechanic worked. However I doubt they can do anything on ROR as AoR didnt have it implemented either.

Unfortunately this isn’t the battlefield series
Destroyable map terrain isn’t a thing

Could possibly add siege towers to RvR instead. They actually have models in game and wouldn't be that different to rams/cannons in regards to towing them around, so likely a lot easier to add.
I mean, they could become available at keep rank 4 or something.

There are only O&G towers as far as I remember.

Are you open to the idea if someone creates more models?

We are currently unable to create any new animated models. As of, if we are open - it's hard question, currently we want to finish the campaign (add city sieges) and after that move back and maybe fix stuff in campaign that might need fixing. I'm not sure if this is good way to approach this, but it's something we (the team) considered in the past.

Thats the one thing i didnt like coming from DAOC, was how here we could only attack the door, when in DAOC, we could destroy the walls, as well to breech the keep.
Matt Firor one of the main designers of DAOC, from 1995- 2006 , then he moved on to Zenimax and developed Elder scrolls online , which Cryodill resembles the Frontiers from DAOC,complete with Relic runs etc as well as Imperical city, similar to Darkness falls , as well as the keeps, outposts etc which any wall can be destroyed to breech the structure. the same as DAOC.
Even Guild wars 2 had that, walls able to be destroyed to gain entrence to the keep, as well as repairs, and Relic runs,
Its a shame they didnt bring the structure destruction and repair to Warhammer, too. they had door repair with the wood aspect, and bulking the doors for tanks . but no wall destruction.
