Hammer needs a rework or needs to go. Enough of this idiocy
If every faction all at the the same time had gotten a daedric weapon only they could pick up that switched clockwise as to who got it wouldn't be so bad. Sadly right now only one faction gets the hammer at random (Which means the winning faction can get it which just has them annihilating everything), the hammer can be taken by another faction (Which means the losing faction that got it is now doomed), and its ridiculously strong.
It causes "chaos", which is what ZOS intended it to do, so therefore they are perfectly pleased with it.
Don't let the fact that it is bugged, easily exploited, only spawns in 2 points per faction, drives people away from the battlefield in all but prime time, and is missing the other 11 artefacts that were meant to be put into PVP along side it, make you think that they should be ashamed of it, like any reasonable developer would be. Because no, it causes "chaos" and therefore they are happy.
Hammer is fine. If you try to solo with it you’re instantly smacked down. It encourages zerging and more importantly players getting together to just enjoy Cyrodiil madness than just flipping the same keeps all day long.
I’m still waiting for the Sanguine Rose and Auriel’s Bow which were datamined years ago. I’m sure they’re waiting for the AOE/grouping timer nerfs to be implemented before they’re finally added.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, the RNG or whatever that is behind the hammer is stupid.
RN in this campaign, DC has the most points, has the most people (3 bar vs 2 bar of the other two) and has emp...and they got the hammer.
What!?
Yes, if someone else got it, and tried to use, DC would likely just take it. But if one of the lower scoring teams got it, they could also just not use it and give it away. But at no point should the number 1 team by all measures, get the hammer. As long as the hammer has been in PVP, and we still have to tell the devs this. Another example of the devs don't play their own game????
I like the hammer but it has some big problems with certain build combinations (such as the recent Dead-Water's Guile mega-buff) that allows basically permanent uptime on the ultimate.
