NPC Pet spells landing 100%

[Awsten_Tx]

Time to fix this. NPC pet spells, IE Earth pets, land 100% of all root spells despite having extremely high MR and being very low level.

It doesnt land 100%. That is false. I think you just want to never be rooted. Too bad.

Toko Binlittle (sp?) a level 17 mage in Ocean of Tears, its pet routinely roots my level 50+ character which is blatently BS. Not a game breaker but clearly evidence supporting the OP's claim.

And if unclear why this even happens, I clear Toko and other "pirates" for faction reasons

Horrible anecdotes dont equal facts. "I got rooted once by a low lvl pet, therefore game broken" is not an argument or proof of any issue.

Not once, that is one of my go to camps for the last six+ months and it happens consistently. Go try it your self and see what happens, if you doubt it.

But I am sure if I went there on a 17 mage and had my earth pet try to root a seafury, it would land a lot too, so you're right, no evidence of any thing broken lol

Across 6th months root from green should land consistently.

Npcs having a 5% min land chance is working as intended.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think earth elementals cast a different root than the normal spell casting root seen by players and normal NPCs. Something like ElementalRoot?

Its plausible if this is true that perhaps some npc pets are using a spell that is flagged unresistable or extremely high -MR check.

OP seems to be talking about a level 17 NPC earth pet always landing root on a level 57 player. I imagine this is not correct or maybe evidence exists that elemental pet roots were unresistable.

OP: suggest posting a log snippet of just letting this pet melee you and showing the successful root or resist messages. Just afk for 5 mins or something.

Give it up dude, the white knights don't give a &^%$ what evidence you provide, NPC earth pets on a level 4 can root a level 60 PC 95% of the time and its classic lol

I’ve found when i can provide evidence of how things were in classic and evidence of how the emulation differs to that then there are good chances changes will be made.

I’ve found whinging achieves nothing. No one is stanning for npc mage pets. I’m encouraging people to research classic and acquire reproducible evidence to support the changes they believe ahould be made.

'whinging' is British english. Stanning seems to be legit slang in the Oxford dictionary. The last one is a typo though.

This isnt true. There are alot of aspects of the game the devs decided to change based on how they felt it should be. IE Mage Epic Earth Staffs. I have posted in era evidence of the rarity of that staff on live compared to P99 and its not even close.

Same can be said about ranger Shatter emerald of corruption.

Why the devs decided they to make Ranger and Mage epics so difficult to finish is beyond me, but its definitely not classic.

Did they change it, or did they just implement it wrong from the start?

I joined P99 after velious launch so no idea. From my understanding it's been that way ever since hate 2.0 launched.
