The value of a healer in Kagrenac's Hope and equipped with a stack of soul gems just increased about tenfold.

Picksy pls.

Sh!t just got serious B!tches.

Ok ...all of you who are so excited about these changes....think of this scenario.
You are defending/taking a keep. Oh oh....you are one shotted by the new OP bow skills and lie dead. No forward camp. Do you lay there soaking up AP while your buddies need help and are dieing around you or do you port back to FAR-FAR away and miss out on the AP while you are rushing to get back?? Oh yes.....the "youngsters" can't put down or trade the FC now so all the "oldsters" have to do it. Huh?? sound like lots of fun doesn't it? Anyone that thinks the PVP will be improved by the lack of groups being able to put down FCs has had too much Nord Honey Mead. I see a VERY boring and sparsely populated PVP area.

I wondered if the developers ever play this game as a subscriber does...now I know.

yes, easy resurrection was the only saving grace to their hack filled game..now that's gone..there's no saving grace.

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.

Camps got so bad I didn't even know what keep I was at half the time. Cyrodiil turned into wall wars.

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.

Yea, welcome to real PVP

Can't say Zenimax doesn't listen. No warning just *poof* no more FCs. They did this because the community was clearly against them.

I liked FCs and want them back, but since it was obvious I am in the minority, I am willing to see how this works out before whining on the forums. I just hope we see more people in Cyrodiil so the constant action promised by anti-FC advocates actually materializes instead of a $15/month horse riding simulator.

First, anti-fc advocates never promised "constant action". You made that up. What we did say however, is that the QUALITY and meaningfulness of action would increase substantially.

Second, you didn't get a "warning" for the exact reasons illustrated by responses in this thread by people going "I should of stockpiled them! Why didn't I get a warning?". Well, because people would of stockpiled them, that's why lol.

All you mindless zerglings, better learn to play, quickly. (That includes zerglings in my faction as well)

Hova,
For once we actually agree. The zerg mentality on my own faction was so frustrating and so wide spread in part b/c of how death had no meaning. For those that say this will lead to more zergs, you're flat out wrong. Part of the reason zergs/zerg-balls exist is b/c they work on a "rinse and repeat" method of PVP. The downtime of a death is so small after a wipe/death that there is no individual fear of dying.

How many time have you seen that little wrecking ball of players try and fail at taking the keep tower over and over? They just keep coming and coming, wipe after wipe until they succeed. This changes that.

Change forward camps but don't remove them entirely.

I'm definitely going to have to avoid large fights now. My client doesn't render all the enemies when it lags. Sometimes, it doesn't render all the allied players either.

I'd run into an area I thought was empty only to find myself dead from oil or a group of enemy players running at me. If I had seen them, I would have gone another direction.
