Crowd control (CC/mezzing) abilities include root, snare, stun, sleep and slow.[1][2]

  • CC effects do not apply to Non-combatant (green) players. The target of a CC ability must be flagged in order to suffer the CC effects. This prevents players from opening attacks that stun non-combatant players during a pull for example.[4]
  • Some crowd-control abilities can dismount a mounted player. In that case the mount would persist with its own health pool and other stats.[7]
    • In current Alpha-1 testing mounts are not separate from the player.[7]
There's also going to be effects that just stun the mount or stun you on the mount.[7]Steven Sharif
info-orange.pngSome of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap.
Diminishing returns in regards to crowd control and conditions like stun and sleep and slows and that thing: Yes we will have absolutely diminishing returns. I think it's a necessary component to balance out classes that have high control ability.[2]Steven Sharif
We're trying to stay away from hard locks as much as we possibly can. We want to have the system be very play, counter-play, counter-counter-play feel.[2]Jeffrey Bard
  • Soft CC's are in the tab-targeted abilities.[14]
