• Area of Effect
(AoE) abilities are a common staple in MMORPG combat. We’re curious to know what your thoughts are on AoE abilities and the way they’re displayed.
• In PvP, which Area of Effect
(AoE) abilities, should be telegraphed to enemies?
• How clearly should AoEs be to enemy and friendly players?
• Do your thoughts differ in a PvE setting?
• Do you have examples from other games in which AoE abilities are presented in a way you like? If so, please share them!
