PVP Healing bug?

✭✭✭
As a healer in PVP, I used to do a certain amount of heals to NON GROUPED alliance players and flag based NPCs, but today, I have found that I am not doing ANY healing at all to these players?
I find that really odd, it like me being a DPS but not being able to do any damage?
I am wearing Eternal Vigour (gold) armour, resto staff of Transmutation (gold) and Bloodspawn monster set>
I am on Xbox EU and wondering if any other players have seen this ... Is it supposed to be or is it a bug?

Dame_Scorpio✭✭✭It's the new normal for Cyrodiil as per https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/544305/details-for-aoe-testing-in-cyrodiil#latest
Consoles went live on the 9th with max 12 in groups, and healing/support only for group members not allies, PC goes live with this on the 16th.7 -
AaronGuilder✭✭✭Thank you Dame_Scorpio
As per Zos_Gina
"there were a few elements from the various tests that we’ve decided to enable for both PC and console for the foreseeable future, as we liked the behavioral changes they brought. Starting on Monday, November 9 for consoles and November 16 for PC, we will be limiting group sizes in Cyrodiil to 12 players, and all ally-targeted abilities will only apply to those in your group".
@ZOS_GinaBruno
So basically we're being forced to play in a group.(total opposite of what was tried in BG)... which is terrible for solo players!
If I want to play solo DD I can and do damage, but if I want to play Solo Heal .. I cannot use any non DD ability... logic doesn't follow, tho I do understand the need to smooth the lag in PVP, and curtail DD AOE & targetted abilities, I think the healer is a different aspect altogether. And the usual gameplay to continue.. but that is just my opinion

This is correct. ZoS has forced solo healers out of Cyrodiil and healers now have to be grouped in PvP and can only heal those in their group.Edited by renne on November 13, 2020 11:42PM2

I solo too but I’m not a healer. I like to be able to fall back to defend home keeps when the need arises and I have to respawn and not feel guilty staying with a group when they’re fighting clear across the map.

AaronGuilder✭✭✭No healing at all if not in a group .. .for a solo player, this is wrong .. if a solo player can DD, then a solo player should be able to heal!
@ZOS_GinaBruno
As someone said to me in guild when they read this:
"as we liked the behavioral changes they brought." - Would ZOS like the behavioral change that a player who likes to solo PVP, stops paying & playing?
I really need this in the discussion section so others can see this.....XBOX EU / NA: Magplar x4 Magsorc x3 StamDK x2 Stamsorc x1 Magsorc x1 Warden x1 Necro x1 Stamblade x1 Magblade x1 MagDK x1 MagArc x12 -

✭✭✭✭✭I knew about the change to smaller groups, I am hoping that does something to limit those awful ball groups though it sort of hurts all of us I think in terms of battle effectiveness.
Is the story behind the changes to healers in group being cited as improving performance?
I have some heals (Vigor) but it’s always nice to get a helping hand from others. It’s rarely 1v1 and more like 1v5 most of the time. I guess all I can hope for now is a rez.
