1. no drop etc works for all classes
2. the risk / reward system, an EQ hallmark is supported and how it effects the strategy of each class with, again, risk/reward in mind
3. its good for server health

1. Casters lose less ability with no drop.

2. There is no risk in no drop.

3. No, it's not.

1. Casters can no longer abuse root/snare against melee. Kunark weapons + no drop... I think you might need a crash course in EQ pvp under such a system. Try fighting a skilled paladin with working resists using a no drop wizard's mana pool. Or the price you pay against a good rogue getting casts off. You realize 120 resist is near immunity for almost all even con casts that are non-lure based? Do you know that it will benefit necros too who currently are weak 1v1 or how powerful healing becomes then? How about shamans who use disease debuff stacking? Again, I speak from experience, you are jumping to conclusions. I lol @ naked wizards in such a system taking ebolts etc to the face, or when they try to spam draught into a necro wearing resist gear.. or just try fighting a shaman in general as a naked wizard.

2. Yes there is, if you want to wear plat diamond rings etc to get to that correctly functioning regular partial/resist level.

3. See 1&2, RZ was bad ass.


Again, I'll save a full write up when we get open sourcing or another dev on resists.

[Clearrain]

fighting a skilled paladin with any pool of mana is a pain in the ass.

I remember item loot on vz, I also remember the staggeringly lopsided poll when they were voting to take away item loot.

So on one hand you have pals claiming GM/Devs are in Nihilum. Then on the other you claim that we are only able to do what we do using pathing and faction exploits.

Yes.

Exploiting Multiple dragons and other raid mobs by pathing, axis bugs, faction issues. You do this countless times and then say, "Oh, its a known bug." But bugs being used should be BANNED.

Ask Holocaust. Ask the people who got banned for abusing pathing in LGuk, or abusing the charmmable mobs in OOT and Neriak.

Two sides to every coin, Nihilum just seems to have one that always comes up heads. Go figure.

Dragon bug was target's head was thru ceiling and couldn't resolve pathing or attack because of it. Confirmed.
Also explains why you can bug Phinny in his ceiling.

Will gladly accept change from my wiz at any point to barb rogue or iksar monk, thx.

You are claiming that Nihilum does this currently.

Yet the specific examples happened over a year ago, was addressed by GMs, loot was removed and people moved on. Cept the dead and defeated losers that want to whine just to have something to whine about.

It is no wonder there cannot be another competitive guild on red....

How long did it take to have that loot removed? What impact did that have on holocaust being banned? Did you guys refuse to stack resist poison and shadoo out of the purity of your hearts?

You were defeated, logged and "moved on" after we took your strat and stacked your corpses 13 high all over solb/lava.

Shame really :/. Oh well, see you out there for round 2 on the Sirken box.

[Clearrain]

well nirgon the population got too high so this patch was created to kill it, how does the title of your thread make you feel now?

[Nirgon]

I never want to see the pop fall (unless previous GM was still in POWER)
