Volendrung

I think volendrung is the most STUPID thing to ever happen to this game.
now i dont care about who controls the most keeps, but when it lets a zerg take every keep in cyro, it gets annoying for players in the other alliances
it doesnt help that the player with it has 40k hp, and is surrounded by an army of tanks, healers, and zerglings all ready to zerg you down in the 5fps that is cyrodill.
it makes it impossibe to get into small scale when you have no keeps to travel to.
also, it takes keeps in a literal minute. 60 secs. before the zerg can mow down every player inside.
it unbalances cyro the moment an alliance picks it up. even the one that im playing on feels too op.
please, for all skilled players in cyrodill (aka not zerglings)
get rid of it

    to be fair, a really good emperor can do the same thing the hammer can

    as for what alliance gets it, or if an already winning faction gets it, that's a problem

    That in itself is not really the problem ... because Volendrung spawns based on the current map in favor of the weakest faction.

    The problem is the lemmings on the weaker faction ignoring the spawn altogether.

    incorrect. Volundong spawns completely random, regardless of winning or losing faction at the moment or at the campaign.


    i think that's the problem.

    I can prove it. I have a screenshot on my Twitter where the map is mostly blue, they have every single scroll, they have emp, and the hammer spawned behind their gates.

    i dont take screenshot, crappy laptop. but look at all other replies or just visit Kaal NA PC for a couple hours.

    in fact, the last 2 months, not ONCE so far I've seen Volundong pops at the faction with the least score or potential points.

    On PS4 EU, EP won 3 months straight from July to September. During that time, I don't think I ever saw Volendrung spawn at EP territory, even when other alliances were pushing the map.

    Last and this month DC has won the campaign by a distance, and I still haven't seen Volendrung spawn at EP territory.


    I seriously doubt the spawn is completely random..

    Volendrung is made bad.. Only losing faction should have option to pick up hammer and when player carying it get killed it should spawn in nearest keep of that losing faction.. Now winning faction take hammer from losing / less populated and use it to get even more points
