check option number 1

Abusing the black water blade ppl with this would be little bit too much? they already have there enough ego issues and ultra elites with their super pimp gears

another good thing about friendlyfire is that you can kill scroll trollers. I personally have experienced it couple times when sulky ebon or aldmeri raid leader goes to temple with covenant alt to pick scroll and takes it to opposite faction resource faaaar away and farms there until scroll resets.

you forget that collision calculation only happens when something collide, not before. also, at pvp, current maximum of 300 ppl can collide, but it requires that EVERYONE is there, which doesnt actually happen, so we could honestly say maximum of 120 might collide, and even they wont be all stacked as close to each other but spread all over the place, who is sieging, who is oiling, who is doing whatever, and gankers/bow users etc. with friendlyfire, who seriously fancy take the risk of going aoe bombing when friendlies around when ppl focus on taking keep for example. The good old times when aoe spamming made the server so laggy that the game didnt register the dmg at all, you had 3-6 full raid all stacked at one flag spamming their aoes hoping that one day the dmg would be played out.

only "stacked" folks are the organized raids that will truly suffer from collision. Casuals might go somewhere in size of 50 but they arent stacked, and they are mostly too cowardic to push as an force/mass, they just slowly creep into keep and die at flags etc.

These days when i see ppl at flags, its maximum of 6-12 players, rest are all over the place chasing enemies.

friendlyfire would lower the amount of stacking by huge percentage, who wants to risk killing mates when one aoe bomber is nearby? not many. first mmo where i experienced collision detection was asherons call which was damn great to watch, ppl could easily make human wall to block enemies rushing in, small man could do brutal work of organized raid if they didnt panic. OFc sieges will enchant this experience, but i cant see nothing but positiveness from this.

Considering this from everyones point of view, the most folks who would enjoy this would be gankers, their escaping is easier, them ganking folks is easier and defending keep would become more than just oil sircus and who has more aoe stacked. You would have to time the push or defense/fight in good way, more fun aswell, instead of pour oil 24/7 waiting when the ppl push in and die/or cap the flag when they come aoes blazing in.

Also, in current pvp meta, we know who is favored by zeni god, its the heavily organized aoe choo choos with proxys, and aoe heals etc. The filthy casuals should have some more playground here instead of just wipe and wipe and wipe. good second place is the small scaling groups with their mobile aoe bomb builds. PPl blame the hordes for everything, but with friendlyfire and player collision they would be MASSIVELY AFFECTED, but in good way, they would be forced to stop being potatoes and rushing everywhere as an sea, they could even learn to play and try to be tactical.

when you think of this all from the point of calculation and lagg>>>

downside when players hit each other, the game does calculations yes, but when you think of it with friendlyfire, lots of ppl would actively try to avoid colliding, who in gods name would want to be stuck in masses when enemies running towards you with their bomb builds? OFC the trolls are there to harash, until kick/ban sorts them out, but when the dust settles down, i am 110% sure, vast majority of player base would be happier. less spamming aoes, more skillful play, less potatoing with full population to one keep to another, scroll trolling could be sorted by killing the troller and if ppl agree this *** is trolling, then there is no issues when the *** cries about getting killed while carrying scroll and asks for kicking/ban.

we all know when we have last emperor keep battle going, and how laggy it gets? the risk of causing major trouble to your own faction if you continue the potato mode is overwhelming, this "new" way you would have very few tanky ppl holding flags, while rest cover from above and push down to flag only when tanks in deep *** and enemies pushing past flags towards second floor. Detonation raids would disappear in flash, and only truly the solo bombers would claim the detonation bomb to themself.

so if i put this all into - +

- collision calc
- 1-2week worth of grieving when trolls go wild before going near extinct ( includes ppl who activately try make ppl stuck by surrounding them )
- adjustment for everyone trying to find their own way to enjoy pvp:ing, ava:ing.

+ less aoe:ing, less spamming abilities and causing horrid amount of calculations and lagg.
+ proper way to spread ppl, who seriously want to sit together with 50 other ppl inside bottom/top flag in same keep?
+ the skill level of each invidual player would improve, instead of some beign forever stuck at the potato level.
+ the small men/soloers would gain certain tactical advantage over bigger groups while trading off the aoe bombing/spamming which is supposed to be reasonable requirement to fight off the hordes.

I could add couple - + more, but it would be kind of pointless, the difference in - vs + is by nature and logic big favoring the +
OFC if implemented properly, and playerbase themself would stop being toxic it would make playing eso pvp way more fun, but if its the otherway around, implemented in bad way and playerbase continues to be toxic or become even worse with the trolling, then yeah, nothing but trouble and endless griefing.

The reason with picking azura star for trying this out is because its already unique environment due to of champion points.
