First off I am sorry if this was already asked and answered but I did a search and couldn't find anything from 2020. I made a template character to test a ton of things and today got to the new siege weapon. I opened the Endless Sack of Siege and my eyes were drawn to two particular things I saw.... MERCENARY CONTRACTS. Like WHAT??

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_RichLambert

Are you guys testing to see if these can come back??? Or was this an oversight when making the Endless Sack of Siege box?

    Oh yeah, they work. I placed them down in front of a keep. Unfortunately PVP in PTS is dead, can't find a dueling area like other PTS cycles but I can place them down.

    Mercenary Contracts are not coming back. That was an unintended add into the siege sacks.

    Hey @ZOS_BrianWheeler, while you're responding to forum posts would you mind providing an answer to this one? https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/521860/update-26-combat-preview#latest

    It's at 30+ pages and players have been waiting for nearly week for a reasoning behind the decision to not upgrade existing vMA weapons to perfected versions.

    Mercenaries were NPCs that you could summon in Cyrodiil to defend locations.

    One of my old ESO friends had a character named Pact Mercenary Contract. I miss that guy. You didn't find him in your sack of siege, did you?

    Here's the one I have saved from forever-ago and the Warden I named after this item on Live:

    They were bugged to all hell and in a pre-CP era where AP took 100x longer to acquire they were not common but for the brief time they were in-game were essentially immortal howitzers of doom

    For anyone looking at that thread and going, "9k health? So what?" That's pre-stat adjustment, and would be closer to 500k health today. On an enemy that did high damage. Basically you'd drop have a dungeon boss on someone in Cyrodiil.
