Resist results on even level and lower players here
 

I've spoken to a large amount of people who can support this too:

Even level and under players resist way too fucking much on snare and grasping roots.

I'm talking 5+ times in a row with absolutely no resist buffs, gear, etc.

This is able to be reproduced and is definitely not right. If you've experienced this, "report in."

I'm going to be busy today, but a good idea will be for people to do this in relative safety and post results. If no one does this I will do it later tonight when I get home.

Level of caster:
Level of victim:
Spell cast:
Amount of times casted:
Amount of times resisted:
Approximate length of duration(and the averages if you're thorough):

I cast 5 nukes on a white con. All hit for 1 (2x Shock of Flame, 3x Shock of Blades).

Could you fill out the information above to make this more thorough for the developers?

I'm going to bed so I can't do this tonight like I had planned.

edit: changed graphs

If we're doing classic style resists, I don't even remember having a spell resist on a naked person on EQ live before. Damage spells should use a different formula but crowd control spells should be like the following. These are both accurate within a 5% margin of error:

Wormcheck those are some really complex graphs you have there, did you get them directly from Verant or are those your own creations?

i think he got dr. hawking to make them for him actually

should curve at 100 resist imo then never hit 100%

Clearly once you hit 120 MR you are unrootable. Everyone who played on a pvp server knows this.

In all seriousness, it's likely that resists behave something like this:

i posted a more articulate response in the other thread this retarded graph was posted in. this is called a hyperbolic function. you can generate a hyperbole with the formula y = tanh(x) and you can make it conform to any pattern by adding coefficients in the right spots.

for instance you could make a fairly nice EQ pvp resist formula like this:

y=tanh(x/100+(10*n)

where y is the resist rate, x is your MR, and N is the difference in levels.

assuming there's no difference in level, your resist rate would be about 29% at 30mr, 76% at 100mr, and 96% at 200mr. EQ always rounds down so there would never be a 100% resist rate, but it would start rounding to 99% at about 270mr.

with a 5 level deficit, your resist rate would drop to 19% at 30mr, 58% at 100mr, and 87% at 200mr.

with a 5 level advantage, your resist rate would be 53% at 30mr, 96% at 100mr and you would be over the 99% cap at 200mr.

this is just a sample, you could tweak the formula however you wanted. but i'm sure nilbog, rogean etc already know plenty about maths and have a good idea for a formula in mind.
