Easy fix for ball groups. Add friendly fire on AoE for groups in Cyrodiil :)

No more Harmony bombing and AoE spamming without repercussions :)

No cooldowns needed :)

    As funny and ridiculous as it sounds, it is the one definitive solution for ball groups honestly. There is a reason most games with *** ton of AoEs have ally collision and friendly fire.

    It would definitely pose more problems than it solves I fear lol.

    Too many of those Bashars/Bombers, would delight in Bombing their own groups...literally. NB Bombers would kill their own people as much as enemies, Youtube, rinse repeat.

    Also No pug would clear any 4 man content. Poor Tanks hehe. Yeah I'd like to see that as a Test for a week lol. j/k I really would not. No test needed to know what would occur.

    Would that include self-fire?

    Not keen on the idea of dying to my own aoes. :s

    This would overall double the amount of players an AOE could hit, meaning more server calculations/strain.

    Only in the sense that you can get your faction mates killed by being the weakest link that the bomber targets.

    I really, really like the idea of friendly fire, and not just in PvP. Imagine having to consider if you can drop a ground AoE depending on your team composition and fight configuration. Of course, this would require making many skills non-AoE or they would probably be dropped by most players in group settings, but I think it would be hugely entertaining.

    if you're going full tiktoked, add single target damage going to allies and direct/aoe heals going to enemies.

    If you have friendly fire, you must in first place design skills for this if you want fun and not frustrating experience. It won't happen beacuse PvE is more important part of game. It's nice idea but don't fit ESO combat.

    While I think this idea is ridiculous (of course). For each AoE cast it would increase the number of potential players being hit and increase server computations. I think the idea was that hardly anyone would be casting AoE anymore due to friendly fire risk, which would decrease the overall server computation.

    Of course we all know it would never work out like that. It would just be a massive trollfest.

    Lose AP if you do friendly fire and your faction member die. Also if you do too much friendly fire you should be thrown out from you faction, living as an outsider and only invited back as a mercenary if a faction member invite you to a group.
