Its just the way it is.

Concerning interruptions in a corner, I cast in corners just fine. Other than bash, I dont recall getting interrupted while wedged in a corner. Perhaps you were levitating. Levitation can cause you to be moved if someone gets underneath you.

Well the code has nothing to do with p99 or everquest really.
It was added by null for this server only from what i can tell.

Melee push should interrupt but an added 5% from just hitting the target no.

Its custom code that just tips the scales. Heavy shiiiit :P

The channeling thing was added because we casters could channel through almost anything if we didnt get bash stunned. It was necessary to make it more classic.

Melee push doesn't work on players here. Only NPCs. That's why they added that code

ITT, casters with unresistable spells whining about melees 5% chance to interrupt.

I think ill make a thread about t-staff stuns not lasting long enough.

Luckily for the melees this was added. It does need to be marked for a revisit regarding player push.

ill admit spell resists make resist gear not as effective and wizards need a tone down but in the classic / kunark / velious era of live they were gods.

i was able to gate from nizzar as a 52 cleric several times no problem and bronkus + other monks with no interrupts

i was happy about this but when i played huggies i never interrupted shit and i got smoked like a nug of purp at northwest's house

It feels way more classic than before is the thing.

This issue, before the change, was a glaring point for me much like current resists. It needed at least a solid push to make it at least "more classic like" and it got one. We can of course revisit and perfect with implementing players getting pushed by other player damage, potentially not the hardest change to make.

Resists need the same, just a quick and firm push to make them closer to classic until more efforts can be devoted to them.

Or, what Nilbog suggested to me could happen, which would be awesome.

Take a look at the post retard, the interrupt code was just one of the issues.
