Resist Feedback post 11/6/2011

wtb coders, i can donate if its a matter of cost; i think most would in favor of a more classic project...

if 200 people on red donate 20, thats 4,000... id even donate 40 to compensate 1 lazy casual.

I know Heartbrand donates because he is a fan of the project and doesn't want to see it get taken down for whatever reason, as most hardcore people on blue and i am sure a large handful of red do as well.

Not sure what the hold up is. We hear, and we understand, that the current staff do this as a Hobby, not a Job. But, sometimes we just hope things were a little higher on the priority list.

Null was actually a good guy and developer. Probably way smarter than you in that area. His resists make room for adaptability, not god mode. It's incredibly funny to hear all the people who relied on gear (evidently you) talk about how nothing should land on them.

However, it is definitely not classic. I prefer Null's resist system over classic, though.

I can understand what he was trying to accomplish with resists considering how now everyone makes use of resist gear far more than the average player back in the day. Even now its easy to get 150 in multiple resists when buffed, and thats enough to prevent almost any spell in pvp in classic. Factor in gear from velious, and having something of an adjusted system will be necessary. Right now, fire/cold/pr are still way too random even with 200+ resists. You often take full damage, and never completely resist spells the way you should.

The BIG problem is where it applies to magic resist and how it promotes root/snare/stuns etc when that was never intended because it makes for horrible pvp. Raising the bar from the 70mr that made you nearly impervious to root is one thing, but allowing players to be rooted on the regular when they sacrifice all other stats for MR is just laughably bad game design.

the resist system here isnt that big of a deal until group/mass pvp where your chat log has 8 "you resist engorging roots" messages and then one lands and you're instagibbed because you cant avoid all the 700 damage wildfires despite having 280 fire resist

Well group pvp is all about make up. You cant expect to win with an all melee group. Best part about most of these people here- they talk about group pvp (like stasis) but have no real idea what a balanced group can do.

I think it is more about poor group make ups over poor resist system. But thats my opinion.

Tstaff cant proc if you dont get hit; rendering it useless.

I'm not a sperg and totally enjoy server as is minus Tstaff. move along.

Think FF lasted a week of actual pvp - was pretty good you know, dude adapts and shit well.

Edit: You know what I'd be GLAD if you guys actually formed up and did something - maybe back up some of the talk/ego, the only one of FF who has any weight is Andis, the fucks up with that.
