Volendrung was a failure

We can all agree on that.

Hope to see it removed

Want competitive pvp while being outnumbered? Tough luck, the devs clearly said you have to die in those situations

    You're going to need at least one fact to back up your point of view. I don't think it was a failure, because while the weapon is offensively strong, the person holding it will have no self heals.

    Care to add any constructive critical thinking reasons to support your topic?

    When I read topics or posts like this one, I just assume you are a bowblade and move on.

    Seems kinda fun to me, it certainly changes some rather stagnant play when it spawns.

    I think peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a complete and utter failure.

    Just make a plain peanut butter sandwich, without the jelly.

    Come on people.

    It's a zerg buster that causes more zerging. It was a failure.

    I have to agree. It also causes lag. Whatever faction has it their is a large group of players with it. Add to that large numbers of players trying to take it. That causes massive lag spikes in an environment that needs lag reduced.

    I disagree whenever it spawns the game feels more alive and I would love for some other random stuff to be implemented in Cyrodiil like this. It really changes the flow of the game which is badly needed since Cyrodiil has been basically the same for years.

    This is where we learn that our opinions are not facts.

    I happen to think it a fun mechanic. I mean, it sucks when you're on the receiving end of it, but it's not like the person wielding it is invulnerable. Just focus them down and grab the big smashy smashy for yourself.

    Hail Uncle Sheo! Cheese and cabbage and brains for all!

    Cyrodiil is an open world Alliance (zerg) vs. Alliance (zerg) scenario. If you don't like zergs you're maybe participating in the wrong part of this game?

    The amount of time I participate in cyrodiil has been waning since launch. This patch I have mostly been in IC. I love cyrodiil and it's open world gameplay, but the servers can't handle zergs that it brings. If it could handle the large number without lag volendrung would have been a success without much argument, but one of its design intents was to bust up last emp keep fights due to the lag they cause normally. So instead of being effective in breaking up those fights it gives an objective that all three factions want causing those types of laggy fights. Zos needs to implement more mechanics to spread cyrodiil's population out, not condense it. Unless they want to allocate the resources to improve performance.
