✭NoTonight, I've seen the emp faction had someone log alt, run the hammer that spawned BEHIND the low-population faction's GATES on one of the 2 main PC/MAC campaigns later in the night and run it straight to their zerg even though they already have Emp. Have others seen similar nonsense?
This is an even more powerful thing than Emp-ship and it's currently super unbalanced!!!
IMO, No Emp faction character should be able to pick it up or control it. Period. Full Stop.

✭✭✭✭✭NoWell, it shows clearly that faction lock does not stop us since many of us have alt accounts which was likely used.
Zos just needs to create a mechanism where no one from that faction can pick up the daedric weapon. It would be funny if they picked it up and just exploded in a manner where they could not even be rezed. They would have to spawn at a keep or something.
That might not be a simple solution but it would keep the intentions intact. Otherwise Zos' stated intentions are pretty meaningless.1 -
UndeniablyAVG✭✭✭✭NoIt should be tied to how many keeps your faction holds, once you hit a certain number you should be forced to drop it.PS4 EU - Daggerfall Covenant

✭✭Other idea (explain below)Volendrung shouldn't be in the game in the first place. Also turns zergs into megazergs and you can feel the lag from Dragonclaw to Bloodmayne.
Good job ZOS.5 -

✭YesYes, Emp faction should be able to pick it up. Maybe not when it initially spawns (and it shouldn't spawn behind the emp-faction's gate), but if a non-emp faction is dumb enough to run into a big group from the emp faction, and they kill the carrier, they should certainly be able to pick it up. Just like a scroll.PS5NA3 -

✭✭Other idea (explain below)I think the artifact should NEVER spawn close to the faction that has Emp however I do think the Emp faction should be able to pick it up if it gets dropped by them. If an alliance is stupid enough to run the Hammer to the Emp faction without thinking it through they deserve to suffer the consequences.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoThere is just one right answer. No. The hammer can be zerged even when kept far from emp faction."We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available."
— They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.1 -

✭NoI hope @ZOS_BrianWheeler and his team will work on balancing this now... especially before they release even more Daedric artifacts..
balance is paramount!!!0 -

josh.lackey_ESO✭✭✭✭✭NoVolendung should be... faction locked.
😂😂😂😂

✭NoSame thing happening regularly.. The design of ESO PvP is increasing favoring the dominating faction, discouraging and limiting the ability of underdogs.
Yet another shortsighted design flaw. Hope they flag it so EMP fiction cannot pick it up. SIMPLE fix.Edited by Enkil on July 11, 2019 11:05PM0 -
ellahellabella✭✭✭✭✭NoIt should only spawn when population is above at least 1 bar as well. It's a real pita trying to stop 20 people and a hammer with 10 people.Try to read everything I write with an Australian accent

✭✭✭✭✭Other idea (explain below)Yes, but anyone from the emp faction who picks it up gets instantly transformed into a chicken (with 1 HP).

✭✭✭✭✭Other idea (explain below)Emp shouldn't even be possible when population is low IMO either
The problem is, what if a faction captures all emp keeps, does not get emp due to low pop, and then the population increases? Will he get auto crowned? Will he get crowned when they lose one keep on purpose and immediately recap it? Will he only get crowned after they lose all emp keeps and recap them again? I see all sort of shenanigans resulting from such a change.
I think a better solution is to simply scale the power of the emperor buff with the overall cyrodiil population. When it is all locked, he gets full power, when there's barely two players to rub together, all he gets is the title.0 -

✭NoI hope the devs consider some controls and restriction on the hammer. It’s ruining gameplay.0 -
Enkil✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoIt's been almost a year.. can we please get some attention paid to balancing the hammer @ZOS_BrianWheeler ??
My suggestions would be:- Emperor Faction players can not pick it up
- Ensure hammer only spawns within the territory of faction gaining lowest raw potential points/time
- Hammer-wielder blocked from using both way shrines and keep recall stones
- If Emperor is gained by faction wielding, hammer immediately returns to Oblivion
- Hammer has an additional timer of max duration (i.e 30 mins - 1 hour from initial pick up)
- Remove Low-Pop bonus from game as hammer would serve this function when implemented in a balanced way
More drastic balancing might be to only let the faction it spawns for pick it up and have it automatically return to Oblivion after 30 mins.
The overwhelming position of the PvP player-base is that it is wildly unbalanced and needs some attention.Edited by Enkil on May 31, 2020 3:25AM0 -
