"Forward Camps will no longer be sold by Merchants in Cyrodiil."

From 1.5.3 Patch Notes.
Alliance War
General
  • Forward Camps will no longer be sold by Merchants in Cyrodiil.
    • Any Forward Camps that currently exist in-game cannot be traded with others.
    • You are required to be at least Alliance Rank 6 or higher to deploy a Forward
      Camp.

So, is this reading like it seems and there will no longer be any more forward camps in Cyrodiil? The first line seems a little confusing, is this normal merchants, siege merchants, all merchants?

    It says Merchants in Cyrodiil, so I'd assume every merchant that sells siege, will no longer sell FCs.

    My guess is its the same as siege NPCs

    No more can be purchased, what we have can still be used but when its gone its gone

    Also they reduced limited camps to 1 rez/camp. So those are going to be useless as well.

    no more camps

    They can bring them back when they get the tech to use the radius as a res mechanic.

    Thank you @zos_brianwheeler
    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.

    @ZOS_TristanK that's interesting indeed. I have mixed feelings about this, I love the idea of no forward camps to stop death porting. However I worry about the ability to respawn near keeps under siege meaning if a defence group is wipe then the keep is lost (as it takes less time to capture than ride back).

    Also, I suspect that this wasn't advertised ahead of time due to the fact they didn't want players to try to hoard camps in preparation of the patch.

    I agree with Tarvy and wonder if this might just break defending keeps. I can foresee some mad assaults and it will change the whole way that Cyro works.

    I may be wrong and it could be an awesome idea but I have my reservations.

    Wow, this change is abit harsh imo. People dying in seconds already.
    I'd rather to keep it until you fix the radius issue.

    This also greatly affects the fight club style duel guilds as well. Whole thing is gonna screw up from now on.. Are you gonna pay the soulstone bills Zeni?

    Inconveniencing duelers is likely one of the things that ZOS didn't bother considering.

    I can't believe this change is happening. Incredibly bad news.

    Even now, PvP is an expensive way to play because you need potions, equipment and soul gems. Now you will need even more soul gems.

    Zergs and trains will benefit tremendously - it's easy for them to rezz each other, and relatively cheaper, too.

    Small groups defending a keep from a big group will suffer greatly since they can't keep coming back - there was already punishment there for those who died since it still took time to get back inside the keep from the forward camp. Is it not more fun to be able to have 5 vs 25 fights, than not having them?

    Dueling will be even harder now, trying to make it possible for members of all three factions.

    This will benefit defenders more. At least defenders who have a clue. My small group has, on many occasions, defended a keep to the point where we wiped vastly more enemies, only to be eventually overwhelmed by the constant supply of FCs. I'm quite excited about this change. It will also allow for smaller, non-zerg action between keeps.

    I think as long as the duelers bring a friend, they can be rezzed with soulgems, no?

    Haha! I hear you. I never used horses in TES games, so I didn't see the point of the Imperial Edition, but I sure wanted to play any race I wanted (and I've never wanted to play as an Imperial...)

    It took me a while to get horses for everybody. Still need to work on speed horses for PvP, though.
