The game needs AoE CC that breaks on any damage.

Yea the game has a lot of snares and stuns.
We don't have a lot of options for CC that forces players to leave a CC target alone. I can only think of defensive rune and agony(kinda weak in current meta).

The game needs some good CC that is aoe. Lasts around 30-45 seconds (shortens based on spell resist)and has a totally different immunity timer from all others.

To really make this CC effective it should cost 100% of your Stam and be very expensive like 8000 Mag with a 3 second cast time.

You could add when broken Stam recovery won't work for 5 seconds.

This type of CC would punish newbs that Zerg and force players to actually target people in fights instead of just destro ulting and aoe dps it down. Strategy and tactics would actually mean something instead of just respawn and run right to the action.

When broken, Stam recovery won't work for 5 seconds. I love it...

No it's not a joke there's an old school game called DAOC that used the spell and pretty much gave us a layout for PvP we have today.

I don't think ZoS views ball-zergs as the cancer that regular PvPers do. They've never made anything but the most limp-wristed effort to break up those groups. When those groups doing their AE spam thing made the game an laggy unplayable mess for hundreds of other players, or even crashed the zone -- they did nothing. It isn't because they can't think of a way of fixing it, it is because they don't see it as broken.

As such offering obvious solutions -- regardless of viability -- is probably just a waste of your time.

Haha yea I'm sure it's a total waste of time but you never know

kuro-dono

are you mistaking aoe ball group to zergs who use mostly single target skills? and in those mass of players you get some zerg surfers who have come for easy ap possibly.

Destro ult is a good AOE CC that disables the enemy back to their respawn

If you made people play a game with mechanics as rigid as those of daoc (cc break on a 5 to 15 min cooldown; hardinterrupt for any cast) - most people would probably drop that game in disbelief in under an hour.

I hope camelot unchained (if it ever comes out) will even remotely come close to the merciless l2p attitude daoc had embedded deeply into every line of it´s code.

You realize it broke on any contact so it was important you coordinated an assist train and didn't have just anyone spamming skills. It was a skill that was amazing to use against zergs and coordinated groups (even ones running destro ults) could use effectively. It was good for small fights like 1vX if you fought 5 people and mezzed them they couldn't break it until you did damage.

It was actually skillful to use in PvP and separated good players from zerglings

DAOC had an amazing PvP skilled system that ESO half ass adapted

That's a different kinda of CC when you steam roll people with destro ults....yes it works but Imagine in a 1vX if you could CC people and they couldn't break it unless they had 100% Stam. You could pick your targets and it would be skillful.

Although it's a sharp penalty with zero Stam and no regen for 5 seconds of you break it.

While you're at it don't just stop at minute long mez- bring back the ability to interrupt a caster on any and every cast, nearsight a caster or archer, or 9 second unbreakable stun, remove the ability to stealth when in combat (including with a long assed dot or bleed on you), proper group speed (minstrel ), climb keep walls, drive rams from one keep to another... and of course remove AOE caps on aoes. Aaah nostalgia.... Different game, different time...

Your correct different game but why would you add all the garbage? Bring the best ideas like mez nothing else is needed.

Clearly you played DAOC. Interrupts on every cast, nearsight, 9 second stuns, don't need to be added into the game......
