i know chess isn't skillful either u can just memorize every possible combination of moves and win

the game where melees pretty much only have auto attack and casters cast so slow they can alt tab and browse the forums while casting a spell. definitely the pinnacle of skill here.

Good.

I ultimately trust you and Null to give us a good PvP server.

Null is not some jackass bluebie - he knows what he's doing with the resist system. And since I've played more red than 99% of this forum, here's the reality check for the handful of vocal whiners: a strictly-classic resist system is utter shit. Degree of severity dependent on the era (Kunark was the closest to "balanced"), and gives Hardcore Neckbeard Raid Player an overwhelming advantage because he spent 90 hours in the planes getting Blue Diamond Everything.

It's a shitty, unfair system. Melees get screwed initially. And then Rangers, Enchanters, Clerics all get fucked once everyone breaks the MR hard cap.

Custom resist system: deal with it.

Is that why some guy in just plane of hate gear and a gator smash maul won the blue shaman botb? Because there's no skill involved?

[tokso]

can you try explaining the skill involved instead of citing some example with no explanation? the ridiculous RNG and lack of options in this game don't leave much to skill. gogo auto attack.

See if you can find the shaman botb video on blue. I don't want to explain everything about EQ PvP [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Someone beat all the guys from blue in VP gear.

I don't need you to explain EQ pvp to me, I've played it. you're just talking about some video whereas I am giving actual reasons EQ takes minimal skill. I'm just waiting for someone to chime in with "LOL YOU THINK WOW TAKES SKILL?" because apparently people think the only 2 games in existence are the game they play and WoW.

or some guy that has the minimal knowledge you need to have for eq pvp vs someone that has probably never pvped in eq before. that doesn't make it rocket science.

so whats ur point?

someone who has never played chess before has no skill in chess
by practicing and playing chess you acquire skill

someone who has never played eq pvp before has no skill in eq pvp
by practicing and playing eq pvp you acquire skill
