    Yeah saw that a bit ago and did a double take. The no longer sold by merchants things makes me wonder if you will obtain them some other way? I mean, you'd think they'd tell us that FC was being removed completely. Guess we will see!

    I love how they don't mention any other changes- like a set spawn point for a given keep or something. This is going to blow so hard if they just removed them from the game and did nothing else to compensate. I'm really regretting hoarding my AP instead of buying a ton of camps.

    If this is the case then it means a keep undersiege with a group wiped is lost.

    The remaining FCs will be for something immensely important now.

    About to lose Arrius/Glademist/Faregyl? FC time.

    I don't know whether keeps will be harder or easier to take now. Empty keeps will be a breeze, defenders have to run if its empty most of the time. No more tenting every keep.

    Assaulting a defending keep will be a total pain in the ass, but if you can put a wipe on the defenders, then you're going to be good.

    Wall and Door HP needs a serious buff now. At least double, if not triple, their current HPs.

    We're going to find out within this week which faction can keep the best scouts in their keeps.

    I cannot see if its good or bad. It is bad because if you die it will take a lot longer to get back into the fight. Its good because battles can be won or lost a LOT faster creating a more fluid game environment.

    I am not in favor of this change at all. I do not log into Cyrodiil to spend all of my time playing a horse riding simulator.

    Forward camps kept the action maximized as much as possible from both an offensive and defensive perspective. Battles are gong to be considerably shorter now given that people will not be able to return to battle easily. You can also say good-bye to those hefty offensive and defensive AP ticks with this change.

    I hope all of you supply chain purists are ecstatic as this change is a horrible one for 90% of the players in the game.

    This change heavily favors careful assaults and planning and heavily discourages mindless frontal assaults. Death is much, MUCH more important, before it was more of a slight inconvenience.

    Well we will see here in a few if this is correct, however, on the PTS as of a few minutes ago I was still able to buy FCs with my character that is above the rank 6 requirement for placing them

    Obviously could've been added afterwards, but that's why I said we will see.

    I feel the FCs should have been nerfed, but not removed like Mercs were (those really were OP and needed to go).

    They just needed to limit rezes to be from within the radius only (no tentaporting or blood gating) and then give a rez sick debuff to prevent zerg rushes.

    PTS doenst have 1.5.2 patch.

    This is an awesome change, thank you @zos_brianwheeler I will start PVPing again.

    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
