Resists, Null's custom versus Classic.

The resist system is terrible. I see trollborn telling people that this would have a negative impact in casters as if that is a bad thing. This server desperately needs a reason for people to roll melee. Red Dawn has typically got 25+ people on now, and 3 of them are melee. It's pretty black and white to me that this "balanced system" is favorable to casters.

This server needs a touch of classic in its pvp category for sure. Whenever Nilbog or another active developer says they are ready to devote time to it, I will create a list of mechanics that need work along with projected resist rates, spell by spell. Troll all you want! Here's some topics: "Nirgon doesn't play here!" "Nirgon plays a wizard!".

But right now its love it or leave it.

I'll just say also that if root and snare are brought in line, that item loot isn't only a caster's paradise. I almost instantly lost a mana robe in plane of mischief to the rogue botb winner. Here's a fun fact of relevance for people who can't read into situations, he wasn't wearing tons of fancy droppables.

Droppable resist gear in a classic environment is a huge luxury and advantage that you should risk. It makes the system work, it creates something for non raiders to fight for in terms of acquiring shit too.

People might be more inclined to take what you say into consideration if you don't make it to obvious that your goal in helping is a selfish desire to push item loot

I'm always going to note item loot in things that this server needs or when classic EQ PvP is mentioned.

Single item loot was awesome on Rallos. I think "go play WoW" gets thrown around here QUITE A BIT, that's how I feel about no item loot!

But I get the feeling people want the easy shit so they can claim skill as Classic EQ, see existing bugs being defended etc. Pretty embarassing.

Item loot would kill this server. It is literally the worst possible idea and would kill the population overnight more so than any other change, even more so than disabling PVP.

With fixed resists? I think you could get used to pvping in no drop, esp on that Checkraise warrior.

Some people (not Heartbrand, or maybe but not directly pointed at him at least) say they want more PvP, but what they really mean is more raiding guilds that are under them. Which is pretty stupid. If you want PvP, give people something to come to the server and try to take (without 80 people with full resist gear).

Sounds like scared in my book.

Classic elements be damned, moving on!

Maybe resists need a LITTLE tweaking but lol on the first cast posts. I remember first casting Nizzar once but that's it. Ive never landed a root on wakawaka, teruoh, ect. Landed a root on Batlle on e after i dispelled his mr buff. Even I barely got first casted with my 50 or so mr. first cast happens. As far as item loot, just lol

You first (maybe 2nd?) casted me in solb soon as I zoned in with 120+mr. If thats not bad enough, you were around 8 levels under me. I got first casted with 171 last week by someone 4 levels under me. 171 first cast is my record in the last week, but I've had several 140s, 130s and numerous in betweens in the last month.

I think you guys been playing garbage boxes so much that you've forgotten actual classic pvP. you are used to 10 v 10 boxing enabled battles, not 15v15+ individuals on vent coordinating cc. If you think you should be immune to 6 people chain rooting you then sorry, maybe a low level twink would be better suited for your ez mode playstyle
