It will be scary lol. But you don't have to fight around the weapon area if you don't want to.

They said that in 2014, 2015, 2016, etc. Should we believe them now?

I almost missed that part of the stream. They summarized that in 15s??????... "uuh.. it is hard fix.... eta... maybe about 6-8m months..."

That pretty much translates to same as now.. nothing is fixed...

You missed my point. When a zerg raid (24 players in a radius of 1m spamming rapids, purge, ultis, proxy set) goes on a rampage against outnumbered faction, it's a keep after keep after keep. Now imagine one of those players now has an all-powerful weapon that kills in a seconds breaks walls and gates. Population imbalance is the biggest gripe of PvP. This is only gonna make that problem worse.

Yeah Cyrodiil will be a zerg fest for sure.

I don't like the new emperor weapon but turning IC into its own campaign is awesome.

Yes I love this one the most. Always been a fan of IC in general.

It seems like the Emperor can pick up the Emperor Weapon. Overpowered lol

Can't wait for someone to abuse this and steel a scroll

Why u think so?

themaddaedra

Emperor weapon is an extremely poor wording as they are in fact artifacts of the daedric princes and have their own unique skill sets and bonuses. And by no means they are restricted to emperors or sth.

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...

There's no fun that won't be soaked by ball groups. You just can't add anything by looking at it that way. Their very existence is the problem here and there's not much to do about it. Apart from going somewhere else when you see a ball group.

Yeah let's see how it plays out.

Thevampirenight

Well from what I'm getting at what I'm thinking is, well each weapon will do something differant, and I don't think they will be active all the time. So like a random spawn, and it could be anywhere. They mentioned it like some form of counter mechanic for emperior they also said they won't say if it can be used by the emperor or not as that is for players to find out. The artifact can only go so long, kinda like the chaos ball, I think. means they would need to have someone constantly healing them. So there is a downfall to it. I'm guessing they might prevent an emperior from using it just because of the issues that would cause. If this first artifact works out they will release others. AN interesting note is these artifacts are coming from SHeogoraths Vault. So it wouldn't surpise me if Sheogorath announces it from his voice. Hopefully they can get wes johnson to voice him.

Vapirko

This sounds like a generally terrible idea lmao. Remember how BGs went with the power sigil?

Possible, and I'm sure it'll happen, but it'll be difficult.

I'd guess they are going to treat those weapons much like scrolls where their location is always on the map, even when picked up.

And they never mentioned it, at least that I saw, but what happens when someone holding that weapon is killed? Does the weapon go away or could someone else then pick it up? My guess is they'll be on the board for X number of minutes, so if their wielder dies, another player can grab it.

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

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

This, as an noob solo player any zerg will kill you. Now with an good siege train and an stack of healers you create emperors.
This one would not pick it up.

Mr_Walker

I'll sit in a 24 man team on the other side of the map and while everyone's chasing the McGuffin we'll be stealing your keeps.

30/30 siege weapons go.

And you were worried about another proc set. I want some of the skooma the devs are smoking, lol.
