Stacking AOE markers latest trend?

[Floortank]

Has anyone noticed people in the last couple days stacking the AOE markers? Not the tacos, but actually running over to stand on you so there are now two aoe markers which will pretty much wipe the group.

I am trying to figure out why this is suddenly a more prevalent thing lately as it has happened to quite a few people I know, so I doubt its all the same person just being... unwise.

Not sure how you can get to 80 without knowing you dont do that...

It has to do with the literal thousands and thousands of new players.

Eh, that's what Savage and Extremes are for. It is what it is.

I figured it would wipe you in Savage. But I'm saying this is something so blatantly obvious that it should wipe you in the story mode too. If you want to prevent trolling, make it so both stack markers have to hit the memory, but if you're trying to protect a thing, there's no reason to drop damage on it. That should be something anyone can grasp.

The current arrow-in stack marker started showing up in Thordan Extreme, and those who didn't do it when it came out, first saw it in Nidhogg NM. People actually still die to it today mainly because of not enough stack and the healers not healing at-all.

My favorite one is the one in Bozja skirmish in the 2nd zone where if you don't get in the marker, you will die unless you have an essence or VIT going. I love watching people who think "nah i'm good thanks" Bye.

In non EX content, the absolute earliest (based on release time) is Void Ark on the last boss. This marker is unique in that it also shows how big the affected area is compared to all other stack markers.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you here. However, I doubt this is going to change.

To be fair in Cyrcus Tower the last boss does three AoE but the reflex you get is to get away from other players when it is actually the opposite.
