"We're currently looking at AoE abilities, specifically how changes to those abilities could improve server performance and also break up zergs, but we have no specific details to give you and no ETA when those changes will be available."

So many people "know" that removing AoE caps will fix everything in PvP, yet there could be many outcomes from such a change. If they want to try ability and siege changes first and then reassess, they can still adjust or remove caps in a future patch. If these other changes don't help, it actually makes for a stronger case to remove caps.

I'm all for breaking up zergs, if think if someone uses aoe are your all blobbed up then yes it should hit you all equally and yes you should be punished for that.

The problem with this is that future changes only come once a dlc. So every 4-6 months or so and people get fed up, most likely already are.

ppl just repeat it after each other at this point. I'm pretty sure that most ppl who say "remove AoE caps" don't even know why.

That of course doesn't mean it's good or bad idea.

I know why they want aoe caps removed. They want to be able to meteor 24 people to death at once.

That is exactly the point. With no AOE caps, anyone stupid enough to bunch up in a zerg will pay the price when their group gets wiped out by a smaller force AOEing them.

Removing the AOE cap will place more emphasis on tactical decisions where individual gameplay becomes more important than how big your zerg is.

Well, you may get an AP cap instead

Yup! The current problem is that big balls of people have a significant advantage, for no reason other than there being a cap on AOE skills. You could be the dumbest group of people spamming steel tornado on top of each other, but as long as you have enough people doing it, you're going to win that fight.

Many ppl seem to not know that we had PvP with no AoE Caps before... since they added it we got the lag.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, there's a number of reasons the lag got worse and worse with each update. But it would definitely help small groups A LOT

I was thinking a group with something like:

Sorc: absorption field + prox det + liquid lightning
NB : veil + prox det + sap
DK: shifting standard + spamnado + engulfing flames
Temp: nova + prox det + solar barrage
