It has been said that:

1) Volendrung is OP and quite possibly bugged
2) Faction lock may lead to insurmountable leads by one faction

One easy fix: Adjust Volendrung so it spawns by a percentage change weighted by the faction standings, with the lowest faction receiving the greatest chance of a Volendrung spawn.

    It’s already more than likely not to spawn by the faction that’s winning..

    Why do people think it's bugged it's working the exact way it's described they said it's more likely to spawn near the losing faction not will always spawn near the losing faction it's spawn location will always be rng

    That's funny, cos Vivec was the most balanced 30 day campaign to exist.

    Funny. People are pissed about Faction Lock, so they're trying to make a point by playing EP. Kind of embarrassing, really.

    i love the faction lock, people constantly take the whole map and then immediately logg thier alt and take the map again back and forth all day long is just a AP cheat.

    I don't recall anyone saying what faction to stay on. This whole EP thing is an embarrassing protest. Like someone whining about the ACA, passing legislation to hamstring it, then trying to tell everyone how bad it is.

    The majority of people who faction swap are EP mains. This is simply a fact. You asked for it.

    Oh, that must be why EP won most of the Vivec Campaigns.

    because it was the most balanced 30 day campaign *grin*.

    But that's not true, in the last 9 months, DC won twice, AD at least 3 times. Someone even has a record of it. I played DC those 9 months.

    If we wanna swing private parts, I've been playing since the first Beta. Also, a join date doesn't equal experience, just longevity.

    1. Correct. Zos clearly stated it's strength and it is living up to what Zos said it would.
    2. Squeaky wheel gets Zos' attention, as they said people have been asking for this. The masses were not loud enough with explaining the problems but then again Zos has had difficulty thinking things through, thinking past next week.

    Its way too early to tell about faction locks. Noting has happened yet + EP has been in a ridiculous lead on PC NA without locks anyway. We will have to go through a couple of campaigns cycles at least to see the out come.

    100% agree. It's just hilarious that the people crying for faction locks are now the people crying on here that they haven't got what they expected.

    Perhaps they should spend more time on the game trying to get their keeps back rather than typing paragraphs on here?

    Are people seriously complaining that ep mains who swapped factions that are now locked to ep are ruining the game because there are now faction locks that are causing ep to win?

    Nothing better than investing 100+ hours over a month to help your alliace win a campaign only for that to be negated by players from your own alliance swapping sides to artifically keep the score close. Kinda made all that time even more worthless than the normal level for video game playing

    This is not an "AP cheat" this is actually a good thing. It's better for the map to be moving than for one side to take everything and then hold it all day. That would lead to dead PvP, unless you enjoy being camped at your gates or tri-keeps for hours and hours.

    The scenario you describe is an argument AGAINST locked factions.

    The issue having Volendrung spawn at all when factions are imbalanced is that even if the low pop faction gets it they will just be zerged down and it taken from them. I thought it was quite clear this would happen :/ faction locks are just an added frustration.
