Guild Wars 2

Hi. Would be a good ideea so the aoe spammers, spam aoe’s with more responsibility?
Friendly fire introduced in wvw ! just pop aoe under your zerglings and watch them melt.

zerg problem solved.

Great idea.

We shall name it Grief Wars 2.

Yeah, because AoE currently is soo good at making the player zergs melt…

This should have been the way confusion works :P

and then dont get to close to warriors and guardians or you get kittened, everybody makes space in every fight! or kite your enemies into their nearest melee attacker friends!

^ Yeah, Warriors/Guardians literally have no melee weapon ability that isn’t AoE.

ok, ok, maybe 1/2 damage ?

Warrior’s rifle is single target only!!

warrior’s rifle isn’t melee!

All melee is aoe. This would have a terrible effect on melee classes.

Not all melee is AoE, e.g. thief’s dagger (exc. Death Blossom). But yes, friendly fire is not a good idea because of the trolls/griefers.

The only time they could possibly make FF work and not have it be a constant source of grief would be in a small team PvP format where you know your team-mates.

And of course, in that case it serves no purpose, so there is no point in ever implementing this.

All this does is flash me back to Oblivion where the only point in having a companion was to be a meat shield for your enemies.

Do not want….

I don’t think it would serve no purpose exactly.
I was a semi-pro Return to Castle Wolfenstein player, and FF Stopwatch was the only way to play competitively. It made you that much more aware of your surroundings and the positions of your team-mates.
Playing without FF removed an edge.

Friendly fire would fit in a special PvP-Mode shown suggested in: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/First-Person-Shooter-Mode/first#post1568062

What sounds neat in theory would in practice result in the most massive scale griefing seen since…well probably never seen before.

Friendly fire does not sound “neat” on any level.

Oops, my bad.
