Looking forward to capturing towns next update.

I wanna capture and hold a winery!

I wouldn't get too excited. When people think town they tend to think a small fortified town with shops and things; but on pts it's just three small settlements with flags and faction guard npcs added to them. It's kind of boring looking; the idea is nice but the execution is poor. People will only go there for the vendors and even then the vendors are rng and armor doesn't all come in impen. Apparently there are rings and necks for the elite vendor sets at those town vendors but the rng ruins it.

Yeah they added flags to the current towns. I already enjoy fighting in those towns and now they added offence/ defense ticks plus the ability to spawn there. The spawn will help getting to the other side of the map or intercepting scrolls.

You can buy all the jewellry from the normal vendors right? They aren't exclusive to the towns are they?

If I remember correctly, you can only buy set boxes from the Elite Gear Vendor. Sure, it has jewelry on the item list, but no box guarauntees any. So they may as well be exclusive to towns.

Each town specializes in an armor type; for instance one town only sells medium armor sets
You can get all slots from these boxes. That means morag tong jewelry for example.

Medium armor boxes only contain robust on the jewelry; heavy armor had only health and magicka on the light armor boxes

Each box is 50k and can come in any trait.

I see a lot of fighting around these towns personally

This simple PvP "update/addon" will do soo much more to PvP than IC did... lol

Do you happen to know which town specializes in which armor type?

Bruma = Medium
Cropsford = Light
Vlastarus = Heavy

@ZOS_BrianWheeler - would it be possible to confirm if the towns will generate points on the scoreboard?

Thank you.

Hey let's complain about non-DLC improvements to the game.

On pts they don't contribute to your factions score. I still see them as being valuable though as your alliance can respawn there which makes things more interesting.

Right? Because lord knows we don't have enough places/areas/vendors to buy armor from. God forbid they make these areas actually pvp combat related. It's just another area to spend gold.

Towns currently do not generate points towards Campaign Scoring.

Sadly this will likely be the case. Imagine if they'd executed IC well to begin with, though.

Well then you guys should make it so.... or at least make them count toward emperor (capture 1town at least).
Otherwise... Whats the point??? RNG based Vendor? Lol no

I think having a respawn point in those locations is a pretty big incentive in itself. As an AD player I can choose to respawn at bruma and get among the action between EP and DC near bleakers. Or a DC player could do the same with alessia bridge if they owned the town nearby.

Since the removal of 'old forward camps', when an opposing faction takes a scroll with large numbers, it's almost not worth trying to chase them. Back in the day with old camps you could ride ahead and place camps ahead of the scroll for your faction. These towns will have a similar effect and will be very useful in a scroll chase.

Yeah, the part about it being an improvement is debatable though.

What gear do these riff raff watering holes sell anyway?

The PvP sets in all weapons, jewlery & traits. Eg. Twin Sisters shield, Morag Tong rings, Impen morag tong etc.

You mean the thing that should have happened last thing?

Lord_Hev

You can get weapons from the RNG... but good luck trying to get a sharpened weapon, or an impen armor piece lmao.

I hope it will rotate periodically
