Proposed Resist System Changes - Lucy

[jdklaw]

during live kunark era fire based spells were unresistable and never partialed, i remember this vividly and will argue with anyone to prove my point based on my unmatched memory

still waiting on your 171 mr root tests. balance greater than your vision of classic. i dont think its coincidence that this is a major concern for you now that you play a rogue instead of a conflag wand mule. im sure you have this vision of being the best geared rogue on the server, an unstoppable killing machine even, but its not going to happen [You must be logged in to view images.

Your bitterness, envy and passive aggression build with every post.

Likening things that were removed or nerfed (because of imbalance) to things that worked in classic EQ, like resists, is flawed logic.

your logic is flawed samwise

im not in favor of those things, they were obviously imba. my point is eq classic dev team did not have everything right. resists are a tricky thing to tweak. compare eq lives start to this one. on this server everyone knew exactly what to get and where. you've taken every advantage you can gain on this server. you joined uprising to level so you could avoid the zerg then ended up joining the high end zerg. at one point Nihilum had the entire server on farm status when the numbered dwindled to 4 to 5 players on at night. to tell me the eq dev team 13 years ago balanced the game around a one guild server is crazytalk.

Since this is really just the latest malcontent hot topic of the month on the red99 forums though I'd like to put out that the resist system is a very minor problem compared to the issue of not being able to find other players period unless you're 51+ and and in one of the two big guilds.

Roll up a new toon and you'll be able to count the total # of players you see from 1 to 30 on one hand. That's no bueno. I know it's an old archaic game at this point but it is a really hard sell onto anyone playing something more recent (say Guild Wars 2) when it's essentially a single player game. Vile had the right idea with his small scale server and low number of zones.

I fail to see your survival being any higher if the raid decided to all nuke instead of root. would you rather take 4 roots with a 1/10 chance to land or 4 ice comets?

4 ice comets


it has a cast time
