It didn't work like that. It's not 100% resistant to magic spells, spells are different.

I was completely freaked out the first time I fought on VZ/TZ. There, it was all root and nuke. That was a losing strategy on live.

No one ever was 100% resistant to root, snare, stun, mez...period. Do not get confused about what i am saying.

Key words "first time I fought on VZ/TZ" meaning that it wasn't like that after the first few months just like every expansion.

"there it was all root and nuke" for the first few months.

"that was a losing stategy on live" and vztz after the first few months.

three words: measure, counter measure

In eq, for every strength there is a weakness, for every measure there is a counter measure. The counter measure to crowd control spells is magic resist. When you "earn" your counter measure you will have some invulnerability to it, but no one EVER was totally invuln from cc spells.

It doesn't matter how confused anyone tries to get themselves. It won't get any clearer than that.

When big Salty was strutting with shawl, I was never rooted or stunned at any point.

Only thing you had to worry about with magic based damage was tash. But even then, rocking 220+ with GMR, I'd like to see root even be a viable strat for the entire guild on one person.

just sayin

Expansions at Start


Most P1999 and TZVZ players are probably tired of original expansion with no kunark by now. I would either release Kunark on day one or make it so Kunark opens after Nag, Vox, CT, and Innoruk are dead.

Laffo, you give the server to evils on day one then. Kunark is all evil, free to bluebie it up to 50 with better hunting grounds and loot, and then steamroll Antonica.

Dumb dumb dumb.

This guy can't be serious. The dungeons and/or zones are controlled by whatever guild shoves 40 people into them. Non-evils can bind in Firiona Vie then go wherever.

if u dont think whatever team has iksar will have a huge headstart, u are sadly mistaken

they dont have to travel at all to go to newer exp zones, merchants, skills, etc etc.. plus field of bone / kurns tower, by far best exp zones for noobs

It's exactly how it was on Sullon Zek. You know what I'm talking about, Fraud, you were in Kunark with all the other iksar leveling up risk-free the first week it came out.

The good and neutral teams are combined for team setup in my original post, there is no reason they would have any significant disadvantage. If anything, they would probably have an advantage depending on what guilds went where.

I tell you what, I'll play non-evil team and all of you delusional people that think evils will have some crazy advantage can go on that team then I'll swim over to kunark and beat you to death with a naked halfling cleric.


Sullon Zek Population
------------------------
August '02

Good: 1485 - 33.2%
Neutral: 1201 - 26.9%
Evil: 1783 - 39.9%

You're also acting like PvP is town based, like everyone is a UO house fighter or something? You don't need to do anything to guard faction on a Dark vs Light server. All the evils will congregate in places like Grobb, if a good team player wastes his time factioning his way up somehow, it's still just him vs 20x as many evils if he goes into that city. It's still a suicide run.

Rann Flamespinner called and said to tell you that you are clueless.

Oh no, an NPC is attacking me. It's totally impossible for me to run to zone line or not be stupid enough to attack someone near a faction NPC.

Rann from SZ called again and asked didn't you hear him the first time.

Except for EXP and Loot, kind of big deals in EQ PvP.
