We'll hafta see about this teams server but if P99 server history is any indication, people will apply the knowledge learned over the years on day 1.... and have an ENORMOUS evil population (like 85%+) with the good/neuts being the edgy so called PvPs will just face plant in the long run.

me.

Why is evil played way more or that much better? Shamans? Ive never played on a pvp server but im excited for t99.

ogre warriors
everyone wants to make a dark elf to pvp w/
OT hammer
Iksar monk
SKs / necros popular as PvP choices (but imo are horrible because resists don't work like on live in PvP on red. with classic resists, both are nasty)

[susvain0362]

Does ogre racial frontal stun immunity work with spells? Do you have to be on the side or behind them to land a stun spell?

DE are good because the hide racial?


Whats the difference with classic resists and p99?

There is a reason that ogres, trolls and iksars all have experience penalties, and they are all evil. Barbarian is the only penalty for good/neutral and it's basically paying 5% penalty for slam, their starting stats are nowhere near what you get as an ogre or even troll. Plus losing necros/SKs vs losing druids/paladins is another net loss for good/neutral.

Having iksars on your side leads to early dominance in Kunark as well which becomes difficult to overcome. Other evils can come level up in LOIO, OT, etc fairly uncontested while good/neutral battle each other and evil humans, gnomes, erudites, dark elves, etc. Pretty much all of Faydwer and Antonica is contested all the time, aside from like Misty Thicket.

So to sum it up: better tanks, better classes, better starting areas. This leads to the biggest advantage of all, population. Once the ball starts rolling it's tough to overcome that inertia.

Not sure on the resists. Lots of races/classes get hide and see invs is a spell you always have up on a PVP server anyway. Not sure I'd call that a big advantage. DEs are useful to evil only because of class selection really. They are kind of the odd ball location wise for evils and have a rough go until they can relocate to Kunark.

Iksars have Kunark to themselves, and ogres/trolls are near each other. I guess if you're a real glutton for punishment you could play an evil aligned human, erudite, etc. I guess evil needs bards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty sure the frontal stun immunity doesn't apply to spells...not 100% on that.

Damn ncaptina been a long time since I heard that guild name <Nine>. I was an iskar monk named Sizle and rolled with Deep, Bigsob, Narilka, Exodus, and Ices alot. I also remember being sucked into Hate. SZ was the best server I played on period.

Nice!

I still talk to Deep on occasion (who was Narilka also). I've been trying to track down Herb and Bigsob. I think Bigsob/Deas may actually be in prison for some ponzi scheme stuff...doh. When I google his name there is someone from the same town with the same name that looks a lot like him who got busted, and his name isn't a very common one.

And there were things I loved about SZ and things I loved about RZ. Item loot was retarded, all it did was force people to bag all their shit. It made PVP too easy because I'd wear all my crap like diamond resist jewelry and I was fighting essentially against naked people. I really enjoyed the politics of RZ though. SZ didn't have that but the PVP was definitely on a larger scale.
