Forward Camps (Thank you ZOS for bringing them back!)

I just had the best PvP experience in ages it feels like, all thanks to the back and forth nature allowed for sieges as presented by Forward Camps. Since their return, sieges can take such an incredibly long time that they feel like, well, a siege! Three organized Daggerfall Covenant guilds were besieging a keep held by the Ebonheart Pact (with a very organized and tenacious defense). To even make it through the outer walls we had to coordinate our sieges, even having to break through the walls at several locations to get enough people through fast enough to force them to retreat to the inner keep. Then, it took knocking down one of the walls and the front door to spread their defense wide enough to begin to take hold of the keep itself! Ultimately, the siege lasted well over an hour, I think approaching two or three. Even though the DC were eventually wiped, it was one incredible ride!

So from the bottom of this player's heart, thank you ZOS for bringing back forward camps. It was because of their implementation that the fight was back and forth for so long and felt like a real struggle for every inch.

    Had already some hope that sieging would become interesting again.

    and it happens

    time to visit PVP again :)

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    We were the EP guild with the white tabards doing the best we could to hold Arrius. The fight was super challenging and epic. We did everything we could to hold the outer. Even getting 20/20 counter seige up at one point. You guys were certainly coordinated and smart enough to bring down multiple walls before everyone pushed in. Made our plan to hold the outer courtyard at all costs impossible. It took another 30 minutes of you guys attacking the inner of the keep until it finally ended with us wiping the last of your groups on the inner flags. (You guys got seconds away from flipping the keep) It was my favorite battle so far in the game and a lot of my guildies favorite too :) I hope we get to have many more seige battles like that with you and the other DC again soon.

    I totally agree that bringing forward camps back made large scale PvP seige battles fun again :) Also I've been running 64 and despite the super annoying audio bug my FPS never dropped below 25 and the game ran smoothly :)

    P.S. the D-tick was around 9k, make sure to thank your DC buddies for that ;)

    They were absolutely essential for our 5v48 defence at Warden the other night. Best PvP I've had in months. GJ. Also loving less lag (Azura Eu) and the increase in AP, per solo kill and defences.

    I can only imagine how intense it was from your perspective! I couldn't even see all of the sieges and people at one point, having to switch to off heals just to remain useful! It was incredible! What a rush! Thank you all for making the siege such an intense inch by inch fight!
