Translation: Skaen is getting tired of rifting me over the ropes because there's a line-up for the rope.

>>The rope stopgap is up there with the ice road for minor annoyances when traveling. Any QoL change to this would be wonderful an athletics option would help the skill too (and possibly add a good place to train the skill in the area).

Private Airship route over the rope bridge will solve this.

Just let the ropes rt be decreased with athletics. Same with ice road. Let it be skill based.

That would be a good addition as well but the rope bridge still only allows a single person to cross at a time. If the crosser doesn't input a command to continue crossing, ghosts midway through or is using a travel script that fails in the middle of the rope or their athletics skill is low it's still a choke point. This is exacerbated when events happen on either side of the rope bridge.

It takes a long time for someone to fall off the bridge if they just hang out in the middle.

Leaving the rope bridge for lower level athletics (with increased speed for skill) and a secondary dangerous route for upper level athletics would be better.

Allow more than one, and with more skill you can pass the other person on the ropes. But... you might fall.

I think this needs to be brought up again. At ~ 600 ranks in Athletics it takes 120 seconds to cross the rope bridge (this doesn't change with skill). With the same amount of skill I can go from Rossmans to Shard in about 250 seconds. Crossing a rope bridge shouldn't take half the time it takes to traverse 3 provinces. Make the time skill based, make a shortcut, doesn't really matter to me but something needs to be done.
