No FF, in group fights... would be ridiculous. What happens when you're tagged in combat with 3 other people, and there's not even the slightest chance they could hurt each other? You're *****. With friendly-fire, there's a slim chance you'll get away, or in your case, all knock each other out.

Haven't failed to amuse me yet keep up the good work. There are plenty of other ways a party can work together than not worrying about hitting each other. And good thing having a line of people stomping w/o friendly fire wouldn't be viable at all, but i guess it would look cool if that is what your implying? And clearly you haven't seen enough wow raid in your time, but I like how you use it as an example when you have no idea what your talking about.


You clearly have done ZERO combat outside of hunting baby deer.

I also don't think you have ever played wow. All trash clears is mass AOE now.

Yup I haven't done any combat outside of hunting. And I can recall some pain in the ass trash, its always been a lot of AoE trash with a couple hard pulls here and there still no idea why you'd even bring that game up though.

I think Darwoth hit the nail on the head on this one. I'm not a dev, so I'm not going to close this topic, but I think we can safely say "topic closed." PvP games require AE damage to be literally All of the area, no matter who it is. It was a nice experiment for a while, but we can see what it turned into. It completely destroyed any strategy in combat.
