Nerf VD to where it can only hit a player ONE time

It warms my heart to see players still complaining about Vicious Death, nearly a decade later. Some things never change 🥰

Sometimes I wonder if people on these forums even play the game. Right, I just won't stack in an AvAvA oriented game in which the only points awarded are for capturing objectives. I'll never repair a door, never stand on a flag, defend a castle interior, just allows enemies to pass through breeches/chokepoints, and actively avoid coordinating and cooperating with people who I am supposed to be working together with toward a common objective, I'll totally ignore the entire premise of AvAvA and pretend it's just like dueling in Stormhaven.

Live by the zerg, die by the zerg. That's your choice.

Without sets like this you have mindless "who's zerg is bigger" deterministic fights a la Vengeance.

Funny when theballgroups blaming everyone they kill for zerging are a group big enaugh that they should get killed by VD too but do not because zerging is required to get enaugh dmg to kill even one of them and when they are zerging solo players.

I would actually argue the other way. Eso is missing most of the skills and sets that level the playing field. Sure you may have one player take things to the extreme, but if no scaling mechanics exist you will just have people crying like how we see in the vengeance testing. Suddenly they cant abuse a particular set or skill to survive out numbered.

Ideally cyrodil wants a matrix of new/mid/top tier players participating across zergs/group/solo gameplay. Live has top players participating in solo and smallgroup gameplay maybe some mid tier players getting run over. If more new and mid tier players could solo, you could start gutting ball group and zerg oriented design which we all know is the main contributor to performance issues.
