Sheograth's Hammer stays with faction for 2+ hours?

The hammer in non-cp is getting ridiculous. Currently, it's been over an hour with the same faction, who is emp by the way. This isn't helping PvP, this is making it stupid and unbalanced.

Due to the imbalanced I observed today, I think everyone would be better if this was seriously looked at, versus apparently making it worse since the last update.

EDIT: And now somebody just messaged me and said it's been 2 hours, not one.

PvP is supposed to be more of a tactical way of fighting, planning ways to take back territory, and when the ruling faction can grab this item and just dominate for hours with it, taking literally every keep in Cyro...it's a Sheograth dream come true.

If ZOS wants Cyro to be this kind of an environment, we need more patch notes explaining as much to give PvPers a heads-up to play somewhere else.

If not, then ler's find a way to get some balance back to Cyro, where it tended to be imbalanced already, but was manageable--and players had more control over the outcomes.

    Volendrung should not be usable by the emp faction

    As long as it doesn't drop and the Ulti isn't used, also an organised group with healers helps and a faction feeding it AP also doesn't help

    The hammer is supposed to de-spawn after about 30 min. If it is up for 2 hours, it is broke as heck.

    Not if the person holds it doesn't drop or use the ulti it will stay as long as it gets AP

    It is on a timer. Even if the person has it is getting constant AP, it will de=spawn.

    Don't feed it. Even if it costs you a keep, the hammer will eat the player if it isn't being fed opposing players.

    Nope.
    So long as the wielder does not die, and gains enough AP to keep the hammer 'fed' it will remain for an infinite amount of time.
    Your options are to not feed the hammer AP, or to kill the wielder.
    I'd suggest using a meat-bag or scatter catapult to aid you in killing them, if they have a large group supporting them, the wielder is still susceptible to all debuffs and needs healing / purging to stay alive.

    I just had to jump in to say it's not Sheogorath's Hammer, it's Malacath's Hammer.

    That is all.

    Adding volendrung in the first place was a mistake and ZOS should remove it.
