The weird thing it is very strong and can disrupt the game balance.

However I do think a completely static death-match is not a good thing. I agree with Maulkin as to why it has been introduced, now the key thing is how to avoid such imbalance while keeping a secondary target that makes the game less static.

As for now after almost full month of this topic only thing they are avoiding is to giving any response whatsoever.

Playerbase seems to be of same opinion more than any topic ever, can we get an update if its considered to remove Sigil for Summerset patch?

Anybody home?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler

It would be nice to have a response of some sort.

Guess we can dream. Tested yesterday and sigil is still ruining Deathmatches.

For real though, how hard is to drop a line of text in response to important topic?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_Wrobel anyone? Another patch during tests and still cant get a single response? Your playerbase agree more than on any other topic that theres no place for sigil in pvp.

Sigil just ruins the flow of death match and really turns into a rush into a sigil game mode. This benefits premades the most as they can just easily callout when it spawns and rush to it. Pugs cant utilize it as much as many don't care or just don't know what a sigil is so it should be removed entirely

If only we could get a single official response fom topic going on from april...

No eta hehe

Sigil's should be removed. At the very least, there should be a global message saying which team picked them up, so we know.
Btw, am I imagining this, or do Stormlords ALWAYS have a sigil at their spawn on certain maps when the game starts ? It's the case in this lava pit map and on some others I think.

If they remove sigil from DM, I will exclude it from my queue.

I don't say I like sigils. But I am completely against PvP mode without any objectives. Objectiveless, brainless slaughter is for kids only who need to boost their ego.

If they remove sigils, they must add some new objective in DMs.

Your objective is to make kills faster than enemy teams.

But let's be somewhat constructive.

My suggestion is to rework sigil to not give double damage. I'd rather see sigil giving a buff to the takers team (let's say global buff, one takes the buff and all group members accross whole map would get it), that would double the points (30 up from regular 15) gained from a kill for the buff duration.

This way objectives would stay in DM, strategy could take place and crazy double damage kills would be gone. Full team sigil rushes would be gone as well, because solo scouting seems more efficient in that case.

Its not a bad idea. Anything better than having a shooter game instead mmo with ridiculous double dmg.

+1 remove them, really don't need sigil, and anyway this is generally the strongest team (organized, packed, mobile) that will take them so it will almost never benefit to the weakest, so it's even not a balanced option

Please remove the sigil or at the very least removed the initial spawn. In some of the maps it spawns in clear view of one team giving them a stupid advantage and forcing other teams to hide or die for a minute.

@ZOS_GinaBruno is there anybody out there?

That's actually a worse implementation that what currently exists.

Currently:

Premade A gets the sigil and destroys all 8 others within 30 seconds - They are rewarded 120 points or whatever it is - Enemies all sit on spawn timers and the buff is essentially gone by the time they're back.

Your suggestion:

Premade A gets the sigil and destroys all 8 others within 1minute - They've had more uptime on the sigil and it's still gone but they have made 240 points.

That just creates more imbalance - Even if your suggestion was just proximity based rather than map wide, that's still an issue.

Remove the sigil, it's not wanted and I get it almost every DM I play, whether it's 1 of them or all of them.
