One of the interesting features that came with Elder Scrolls Online’s Update 11 this week was the option to take a ragtag band of heroes (or a finely honed zerg) and capture one of three towns in the Cyrodiil region. But how does one accomplish this and what does it net? For that, you’ll need to read up on a quick dev post concerning the topic.
The devs said that claiming a town shouldn’t be too hard under the best of circumstances: “If there are no opposing forces, a small group should be able to do it quite successfully. But, if you’re battling for ownership of a town defended by enemy alliance forces, well, you may need a few more friends!”
Captured towns will grant their new owners the ability to respawn there as well as to buy purple PvP gear bags from special vendors. There are of a dozen different sets (and associated vendors) to collect, so the incentive is strong to claim all you see and repel the invaders.
