Resists definately the major problem. Thank god for nilbog!

It shouldn't take too long to get a close-enough resist system established. The general milestones were always well-known, and plenty of testing has already been done. It's not as if resists are completely screwed up on p99, it probably just takes a little extra fine-tuning to get everything smoothed out for PvP. It's the kind of thing that's super easy to do heavy tests with.

I want to know if they are going to stick to classic as close as possible? Are they going to try to make CC spells viable or are they going to be like on live back in the day (100-ish MR and it was almost impossible to land them)? If they make it viable I'm gonna make a paladin or ranger and lolrape.

I'm pretty sure they're sticking to the classic mechanics for anything that directly affects combat. The safe assumption is that the only things they'd consider changing are the things Rogean made sticky discussions about.

Live resists were pretty fair on rallos zek. Maybe that is why melee players are so worried about getting killed by casters. VZTZ resists maybe were really wacked?

Rogean said there would be a beta. That's pretty much it. It was more like "of course there'll be a beta before the server opens", not like "GET READY FOR BETA GUYS 10... 9... 8..."

If you join the IRC channel It says "#red99 ||| <Rogean> we're provisioning hardware for red99 ||| Beta confirmed, date unknown. "
