Cheers :cool:

---Edit---
Originally I was working on a metal version, it was shorter with the drawn out fights clipped and shuffled, but I ran into some issues and dropped it. I managed to patch up some problem areas, however both videos are missing a few of the other fights unfortunately.

See you all at launch.

Anyone watching this video can tell the PvP balance is worse with crowd control resists altered to be different from EQ live. The SK vs Druid parts especially, even though the SK was a 2/10 in skills:

"ME SLAM YOU IN FACE TO INTERRUPT ALL SPELLS, HERE COME DARKNESS SO YOU CAN'T ESCAPE EITHER"

Wizard and necro aren't really affected since they can just spam shadowstep to avoid getting gang banged by short duration CC spam. Others will face death by an avalanche of African penises to the face.

These changes to crowd control spells are completely illogical and should never be implemented.

ya shadowknights gonna be super op for sure with snare landing as it does, although null did say he put in new resist code so maybe he looked at that

[Smedy]

Nicely done pal! Damn looked like a good time, i'll be playing the next time around (on release!)

especially with snare/darkness canceling sow. at 156 MR on my shaman that shit still lands way too often.

[Nirgon]

Snare/darkness should cancel SoW fellas.

As far as shadowstep, wait till that only moves you right next to where you're standing a few times. Even better, try casting it in plane of fear or indoors/plane of hate. Not all pvp happens in the karanas, bros.

[Crenshinabon]

Softcore, that dubstep needs a lower base bro. My speakers didnt rattle enough.

Thanks for taking the time to do some recording also.

but when this was how it worked, it also virtually never landed on ppls with 100 + resist and it does now a ton so its a double rainbow of ggness

this is true, should be looking at around 85% resist rate on snares at 150+ mr

[C5BAMF]

1) Players will fight in whatever position they put themselves in; that druid chose to stand between circles of swarming melee, while he could have been on the outside picking players off 1 by 1.

2) Melee stuns (Bash, Slam, Kick) have been around a long time; strategies adjust accordingly.

3) The best casters I have ever fought never relied on CC in PvP.

4) My 30HP life taps in pvp do not cover the DPS pure casting classes dish out, and my melee does not overcome their healing; which is why 90% of my deaths still come from Necromancers, Shaman, and the occasional druid.

5) Large FFA battles such as this aren't exactly prime examples for the PvP balancing you are raging about.

6) If you do not have a strategy for recovering after a CC spell lands (even for a moment) you are wrong.

[Nirgon]

Yes and its also not supposed to like ever land on 100+ mr :P.

85% still promotes someone spamming it until it lands. It just shouldnt work like 97%.

It just sounds more like players shouting "I want to be immune after I get my gear".

The attack button is your friend

The reason you're running slow at minute 03:00 is because I engulfing darknessed you from on top that house =X

[Amuk]

In all honesty the gear they gave out was mediocore, I had like earring of disease reflection, and a cold one, an enviro suit etc a bunch of crap - I had 85 MR unbuffed as a rogue. So people getting snared was meh, once my gmr dropped I was getting cc'd as I should have been.

[Amuk]

I received no legs, my arms were like rubicite straight armor, etc etc lots of junky 0 mr pieces.

hahaha I was wondering who the hell cast that

[Toomuch]

The druid (Shiftymcgee) was my (Expendible) afk autofollow healbot that I never casted a single spell on during the fight :( Lost autofollow when he got snared, and 1 or 2 fatties standing still beating on a target attracts a crowd really fast :*(. I realized it and tried to heal a little too late. My Warrior managed to last a really long time though! Eventually a tunnel vision zerg pain train got me after all the easy pickins were gone. And then as soon as I came back, Lovely lured me into a tarp over a hillside, and then used like 398 charges of redwood wand to guarantee a killshot after I was clearly hosed. And then Cazic-Thule(s?) showed up like immediately after.

Props on the video though, despite picking on my bot! Was a ton of fun, would play again. I'd probably only play 1 char though, so that might make the next video a little less awesome :(

Under your idiotic balancing viewpoint, we might as well have blind and gflux land every time. It didn't land on EQ live because the devs were smarter than you.

Watching that troll waddle side to side with his hands in the air like he just don't care is mesmerizing.

Good videos. After turning the sound off. Very poor taste in music.

Poor taste is being selective. I have a very broad interest.

[Lulz Sect]

Smedy has good taste in music when making EQ videos. You do not. Don't take it personal. Just stating facts.

Smedy is king. Period.
Now, I regress. If my taste of music is poor, as you said, then it is my failure. If you simply weren't interested in the music, it is by then out of your preference. Therefore, I would like to agree with your opinion by matching such an opinion with my opinion while articulating just how your opinion is worse than my opinion.

[juicedsixfo]

I think your music choice was pretty boss in both videos. Good work, it was nice to see a full capture of the event.

God damn he's polite.
