The idea seems old at first but often times the zerg gets it and has emp and scrolls. I'd rather not have it. Seems like most people I've talked to dont like it. What do you guy think?

✭✭✭✭✭Volundrung is great at attracting large numbers of players to the same place who are eager for the o-tick or desperate to defend their keeps and maybe take the hammer for themselves.
Unfortunately, the servers are not so great at handling large numbers of players fighting in the same place...0 -

✭On Xbox NA 30 day campaign, the same guy nearly always has it. It's kind of amazing and hilarious. Even if it spawns with the other alliances, some how this player ends up with the hammer.
I have pretty mixed feelings about the hammer mechanics. It can be fun but it can also just cause people to log off or go do other things. It also encourages zerg gameplay which can be briefly fun, but gets boring fast.0 -

✭✭✭It's a cool idea, I like it. However, it highlights the sad condition of the server.Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)
Might be joking in comments.

BaiterOfZergs✭✭✭✭✭I think it should have an aoe that deals damage to everyone around it in a certain radius, including allies. And the longer you stay in it the more damage it does.Zerg of House Smallscale, First of his name, wielder of Volendrung, battleground hero, Cyrodiil butcher, the swifft footed, OG of the Templars and first pvpers, defender of scrolls and baiter of zergs.0 -

✭Remove: its dumb afThat stupid hammer, should hammer itself back to Oblivion.
It really destroys all the balance in PvP. The strongest faction will get it most likely, since they control most area and have most people. Even if it doesn't spawn in their area they can just zerg the hammer down and take it for themselves, an already unbalanced map gets killed completely with that. I know the intention was the other way around, but then the hammer should be bound to number of Castles, Players or points, so the already strongest faction can't take it.Edited by L_Nici on October 31, 2019 6:00PMA very special girl

✭✭✭✭✭Remove: its dumb afBalance issues aside, I can't see how it helps server stability.
The faction that has the hammer comes with the entire server. And those trying to defend keeps (unless you're EP on PS4. We don't defend anything) or take the hammer of course comes into the same area, just jamming a ton of players and all thier AoE's, healing, and all the calculations that come with combat into one small area.
In short, it's detrimental to server stability, and for that alone, should be removed. (In my opinion)1 -

darkblue5✭✭✭✭✭Keep: it's the bestIt generates a lot of people riding from keep to keep with less than 24k health. That's a nice thing, for reasons.
If you like playing the map for score hammer is not what you want.
If you log off for the 30 minutes that hammer is active there will be a lot of potential for PvP afterwards as each non-emp faction recovers.0 -

Ash_In_My_Sujamma✭✭✭✭✭TweakVolendrung should:
- Spawn on locations other than the 3 starter bases
- Not let you mount, not let you port via transitus, not let you use recall stone just like a scroll does
- Not give you the ability to spam "light attacks" on a wall or door and destroy it completely
- Gradually drain hp from its weilder like a chaosball does or lose its effectivenes with time
In conclusion I think that volendrung does have a lot of potential for FUN but atm it's, mostly, not used to pvp but to push the map. Sieging is part of pvp not the other way around. Objective capturing is designed to encourage and plan player engagement. Withought this engagement though the objective alone is nothing.Edited by Ash_In_My_Sujamma on November 2, 2019 1:23AM3 -

✭Remove: its dumb afMaybe the faction with emp cannot wield it because whoever's has emp usually has the zerg. I agree you shouldn't be able to port with it.0 -

the mount and transitus makes it op. one of the reasons i hate it is that it can move so fast. reomving that and adding a chaosball effect would be perfect.
and they should make the hammer scale of kills rather than ap. that way you couldnt just zerg keeps. and if not payed... ded. and hammer is gone.0 -
