Ape caps need to go, I'm tired of doing undaunted dailies with ppl who stand in red. Cyrodiil should teach ppl to gtfo of red crap, not reinforce standing in it. ZOS, I know you prioritize PvE fixes, so I hope this issue gets fast tracked now that I have elucidated it's horrendously detrimental impact on PvE.

Cyrodiil needs to prepare ppl for proper positioning in PvE, not 'stack on crown'.

May Dee Tick bless this thread.

    Its obvious that AOE cap hurt then fighting huge groups of mobs. Not uncommon to be hit by up to 20 enemies, in this setting the cap on 5 makes the enemies 4 times harder to kill.

    As for player positioning it depend a lot of the mechanic, generally you stand together a bit behind and at the side of the tank, healers work get harder if players are all over the area.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    They never should have put in aoe caps in the first place. The whole point of aoe is to deal with massive numbers of enemies (or friendlies depending on the type of ability in question). Putting a cap on it effectively stops it from being a true AoE spell.

    People used to spread out in pvp. Now with no aoe caps, it encourages them to clump together. Stop encouraging cheese tactics, no matter how much sheogorath threatens you.

    I've never played a game with aoe spells that actually put a cap on it. Especially pbae spells. the whole reason they should be strong is because you're in harms way

    Months ago, caps are still here. As I said, I hope for them to get it done sooner rather than later.

    well as long as the crown isn't standing in a red circle then they should be fine no?

    They promised AoE caps would be increased but I want rid of them totally.
    Taking them a while to flip the switch, though...
    If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

    Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!

    You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
    I for one won't resub until:
    1.) You fix lag.
    2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
    3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]

    Make sense, say you increase cap to 15, now you do 3x dps against large groups. This will have effect in PvE, as you would move down groups of adds fast, it will also affect any boss mechanisms who use more than 5 adds.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    You'd better look for a daily group if you do Undaunted everyday. I agree with you that AoE cap should be removed.
