This is something that was put in during the first monthly update (when you pay to play you get a horde of free content every month - really you do!). It was designed to put a twist on certain (only some) missions/quests so when you are defeated you don't just retry or respawn in another location with xp debt but are captured by the enemy.
I think It's fun and defo. keeps things from getting linear but I have yet to experience a mission with this in it as the update is still fresh.

That said there are other twists too. Once, while attempting to save an NPC from a group of cultists who were sacrificing her to their dark gods, I was defeated and instead of the expected respawn in another location I ended up being sacrificed also...and became undead for an hour or so, lol. Was interesting to watch.
