New Emperor Weapon coming to Cyrodiil

They are bringing a Emperor Weapon to Cyrodiil with the new Update.

When you pick-up the weapon u can use 5 abilities and 1 ultimate. (U can get into keeps and destroy players with the weapon).

The Weapon can be picked up by every player on the map. When the weapon drops it's location will be announced and people can rush to pick it up.

If you don't kill a player the weapon kills your health and you die.

Your health will be buffed when you hold the weapon.

They are planning to add more weapons in the future.

    But it sure won't spread players out all rushing to the same spot to claim the weapon.

    The lag will be epic when everyone is trying to chase the weapon. I wish they would address lag instead of just adding more "chaos" to cyrodiil.

    It's not an emperor weapon. It will give you buffs comparable to those of an emperor.

    Actually it turns you into a "Juggernaut" and gives you 5 + 1 completely new skills.

    Exactly. These will be the Daedric artifacts that have been an important part of other TES games. Volendrung will be the first.

    Exactly what I thought when they announced it :/ Not exiting at all, especially with current performance situation.

    I'm pretty sure their relocation of Imperial City to its own campaign is an attempt to address lag

    It's not an Emperor weapon; it's a random drop.

    Whoever gets the drop obtains the weapon and this set of skills; it was designed as a way to combat Emperors. While the thing is OP as hell, you have to keep feeding it through PvP, otherwise it slowly kills you.

    Very... deadly... regardless of how you use it.

    Hopefully this means that ZoS will actually focus on improving the Cyrodiil server performances which... well we all know they are shite.

    Personally skeptical that it will mean any such thing though... intresting idea if only they sort out the performance levels of the servers.

    Yeah I literally shook my head like jeez man why does fortenite have to influence everything nowadays. I simply wished they had announced something that would greatly influence performance, objectives that expanded on the current system, or even bounty hunter (which I made an entire thread about how it would be implemented).

    This is definitely not something that should be added at-least in my opinion. I'm still waiting for those dwarven sieges wheeler showed a couple years back.

    Yeah. I love the idea that every player has the chance to obtain the weapon. (Well if you have a fast mount that is)

    Inb4 an emperor picks it up.
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    Perhaps they could add a system somewhat similar to Zariche/Akamanah in Lineage 2. For those that aren't farmiliar with that game.In a nutshell Zariche and Akamanah were two truly unique weapons (never more than 1 present) which had a very small drop chance and once you got it you only had it for a few hours or until you died. Then it would drop for someone else to pickup, or vanish to reappear later again. This was largly a PVP/PK feature but can be reworked to be a PVE feature.

    Funny thing is they used word "Cyrodill will get some love"... But what kind of love is that ?
    Imho this is the last thing PvP in this game needs as those "artefacts" will be used 100% of time by Destro-ulti-farming ball groups / trains. Last thing Cyrodiil needed was to buff those groups... :(
