What ever happened to courtyard flags?

bosmern_ESO

I don't know if anyone else remembered, but before ESO came out I would watch the trailers, a lot. Today I remembered something, courtyard flags. They seem like they would be fairly cool, and could be added to the large keeps. (the keeps that control the Gates, for AD it would be Blackboot and Bloodmaybe. for EP its Kingscrest and Farragut, DC its Warden and rayles)

Here is a few pictures of them:




Not really complaining about the extra capture zones not being there, just wondering why they were pulled.

I like the idea and it could be extra exp, I find exp gain to low in pvp.

I just thought it would be cool to fight in a indoors area that could have multiple levels and objects, so groups could use the area to their advantage or it could be a disadvantage.

As a more close ranged fighter, I like to battle people with objects around the area I could use to break the line of sight, or to pull back into if I need it, or sometimes a lure.

It's sad, but this is literally the first thing that popped into my head on seeing those pictures:

OMG all the people, total lag-fest.

Believe it or not, back when ESO first came out and FC's were bugged, there was no lag in PvP.

back then there was no horrendus lag.

if this were to be implemented at launch, it would work beautifully, if it were to be implemented now however... the results would be.... less than agreeable

I remember that
If they can fix the lag (ie, restore that which was experienced at launch - none) then I would support an extra capture zone for the Gate Keeps.

I've also wondered what those towers are for at resources; you'd think maybe there was once a second flag up there; it would make resource capture a bit more interesting if there was a second flag. Those towers are completely pointless right now.

Defending the node and ofc AP farming.
