Reading RoZs boards. And discord.

If you tune resists properly per era, root spam etc shouldn't be an issue - I've just never seen a box that is tuned properly in classic. On our box we think the debuff meta game that includes buff management makes for interesting and skilled game play.

What you speak of in terms of spells always landing against scrubs and never landing against beardgods is exactly what we are working on in balancing luclin. The curve needs to be scrunched such that (non-lure) spells always have a fair chance to land against people no matter how high their resists are, spells always have at least an existent chance to resist for all but the lowest of resists, and decreasing the amount of godlike status imbued by being ultra-geared. I want to scale down the effectiveness of the gear gap in each era, with each successive era requiring further adjustment.

Eh, that's not interesting gameplay to me. I dislike long-term buffs and clickies in general. Interesting gameplay is needing to time skills in order to create kill windows or maximize pressure/defense at a given point.

The idea of resists as they exist in EQ just creates a luck dependent game. A spell should always have the exact same effect on a target, depending on their resist value. That way the player knows what their capability is and approximately what they need to do to win a fight, or how they can reliably contribute to a fight.

Sounds like you wanna play wow or 1 of any 19 other mmos who's primary game mechanic is cool down management. Allowing you to mathematically calculate exactly what should happen in a given encounter is not very EverQuest either. What do you like about ever quest?

Key word is in moderation, its everquest and its 2019.

Population got down to single digits during classic before Kunark. I'm not exaggerating. I'm not sure why you would take offence to that.

[Tassador]

Single digits classic way better than RoZ at peak. Pop rejuvenated in kunark and was hitting legit 300 in velious. RoZ in a year has you and three kids talking about how cool it is to be on a custom shit box.

Really hope for you all sake actuall pvp goes down and people play this time. Boxing should have consequences and three box off the go is fucking newb quest man.

[shokar]

no need to play dumb ass fucking elf court bullshit on RoZ. You can dispense as much justice as you see fit with your cleric alt.

To get the same results on Dead99 you have to wait 3-6 months and then hope Sirken hasnt smoked himself retarded the day he opens your petition, and then maybe he punishes your tormentor. (By the way if your train in retaliation you get banned too)

Anyone who is against legal training in everquest PVP is mentally deficient.

I speak with Brad regularly and he said that RoZ is carrying on his vision in the spirit of Everquest.
