and how is it more available? can you explain this to me? are the drop rates better?

People know where shit drops? well this goes for everyone sir. Are you telling us that casters dont know where the good things drop but the melees does?

Exactly everyone knows where everything drops and for months one guild farmed the entire server without being contested. I don't think classic resists we're balanced on what this server has become.

If you truly wanted balance you would have split Nihilum in half when it was just you guys on the server. BalancE > all

I assure you if there was constant groupage there would be more melees. Again you dodge the real issue which is balance. If you are truely concerned about melees then how about you offer free pls? I promise you people will take you up on the offer and roll melee

Whatever I do will not change anything. I can pl a rogue to 50. sweet. that rogue gets killed by droolers casters over and over and quit.

Sweet. Sorry cant help you get 140 mr, Dear rogue. Enjoy the dirtnaps provided by unresistable spells.


What I can do though is lobby for a better/balanced resist systems. Which in turns makes melees more viable. Which in turns, makes people want to play more melees.

Again dont take extremes, Extremes isnt what new players/non-top end players on this server are living. I`m lucky and any melees in nihilum is lucky enough to have all best in slot raid gear for the most part, yea we'll do ok in the current resist system but joe buddy isnt as lucky.

The melee retention could be greatly improved with classic resists. Thats troublesome isnt it? thinking there could be more people on the server by changing the resist system.

Right.

And Heartbrand was smart unlike others who quit. A lot of people made human warriors and shit as their first characters, he made a mage. Personally I think you have to be dumber than a box of rocks to do that and those people can blame themselves. Further on that thought, you can't blame the system for people doing that.

My first toon on here was a warrior when population was close to 200. Ogre warrior with no groups around Guk so I traveled to faydark by boat. Once I got to gfay it took 2 days of logging in and out before someone would bind me. After finally being bound i spent the next 2 days lfg off an on. Finally I said fuck it and rolled a druid

Pl my rogue to 50 and I'll play hIm exclusively.

Right and you making that warrior is a result of population / groups. Nothing about the resist system is good for starting melees. I made a cleric twink with hollowed bone bracers, 7mr bracers, etc etc and had a red con mage's pet land roots on me every time at around 80ish mr. I can't imagine if I was a melee dealing with that. You'd be fucked.

Yes, Nizzar's monk is going to be better off. But so would I playing guerilla warfare with Bundy as a bard + wizard. We could do so much more.. like not have to worry about getting snared/rooted and virtually insta gibbed.

The same minds that came up with the classic trilogy came up with this resist system. Not to mention, there was an entire server with a population of more than red + blue combined that didn't think "PvP sucks in this system".

If you think PvP is just entirely a side thought in this game? There were 4 (5 with discord) servers with pvp and the most memorable and grand scale GM events were about it. They even got down to super minor things like which items and tactics were and weren't allowed. They apparently cared a whole lot.

Weird I've never had Mage pet root land me when i just had enduring magic. That being said I havent seen a Mage use earth pet over air in pvp since feb.

[heartbrand]

I dunno I just don't get rooted on checkraise with any level of consistency. Just not experiencing this issue. Other resists though are a different story.

[Nirgon]

Sam and to other critics thinking I'm trying to destroy the server with my wishes for item loot... there's so many better ways to shit things up. Why would I go for something so unlikely to be implemented if that was my intent? : /

I could post gore gifs and shit from a thousand proxies like Cast did if I wanted to drive people away. Or post logs of things the heads here have said out of context from months/years ago.

Trust me?

Right, so I don't see all the fuss. It only helps lower level/lesser geared melees not get completely fucked. It relieves frustration of gear choices and gives guerilla fighters (esp newer ones) at least a chance.

Resist gear is obtainable either by camping stuff your self or farming whatever u can for plat. Getting xp on a non twink melee solo is not.
