A youtube user has made a video from live servers to show us how completely ruined the PVP will be with AoE cap once zergs starts stacking It will just be packs/zergs of people stacking on eachother so the AoE won't hurt them, and they will be unkillable zergs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hyK9tLzG5o

This patch will kill the game, and pvp'ers will quit when this goes live and even more abilities will get capped. Cyrodiil is currently one of the few things that is fun with ESO and gives it potential, and Zenimax is actually destroying it, and destroying their own game and income (people will cancel subs and not bother paying for broken pvp) with this stupid change.

I really don't understand what Zenimax is thinking, they are literally digging their own grave on a game that already suffer from clunky combat, wep swap lag and bugs with this AoE cap. One way to keep this out of control is to make ultimates have no cap, while normal AoE has a cap of 12-15

Future mmo developers will just need to look at Zenimax as a bad example when they need to learn from old mistakes if this goes any further.

    Clumped up, standing in all kinds of crap and they are barely losing any health.

    Brilliant change this, will make for a very dynamic battlefield and great variety in combat, ehm....

    Why did you yank this from a thread already on the forums just to make another thread?

    Especially without reading...

    THAT IS FROM THE LIVE SERVER WITH CURRENT AOE CAPS!!!!!!!!!!

    We have to work on getting those repealed...

    Next time read and contribute to the post before making your own idiotic rant.

    I did not see the other thread until now. Either way, zenimax needs to see this and realise how stupid the change is both for the players, and for their own income (people quit)

    Wouldn't a nice fix for AOE being to effective in PvP (which appears to be what they want to "fix") be, to spread out a bit instead of building crowds? Or maybe I just didn't get the reasons for those changes (may well be).

    PvPers wouldnt run 24 ppl zergs in the first place :p only noobs run that. pvpers run small groups of like 6-8 ppl max.

    but yea they cant put a cap on aoe without introducing some long duration aoe mezz/disorient thing that isnt capped or it will break the game.

    Is this GW2? Honestly I can't see any difference.
    I still have nightmares from hearing the word "stack".
