I think if you're going for how classic elements worked, the best you can go on is Story Time with most of this stuff. That includes memories of the staff as well as the players.

I'm arguing with a guy who is trying to tell me that we're not building an EQ server based on what the community remembers to be classic.

How about the dune tarantulas in North Ro? I saw those on live. They are supposed to be desert tarantulas. I guess if we don't have hard evidence, they should stay dune tarantulas (wrong). What if no one could produce a screen shot of being able to see a player's equipped items even though it was obviously the case you could at least see them after killing them on a pvp server. No screenshot? Not classic! Certainly not worth a look or further consideration, either.

i remember that ogres shot rainbows out of their asses when they jumped. what now?

clearly, my memory of ass-rainbow-shooting-ogres is evidence enough to add them to the game in spite of all data to the contrary. so let's add them so we can

I magically guessed right on Invoke Fear without having any data in front of me. I say the same for snare but I can't possibly be right.

Truth is I remember being on a lvl 19 druid twink I made and snare being resisted constantly on npcs. I asked a mained druid in my guild "what's the problem with this" I was told "snare has a shitty resist rate, ensnare works much better".

So I can be right about invoke fear because whatever you are looking at matches it, but wrong about lvl 1 snare. Heh ok, convenient.

You might also realize I'm not playing red or "out to get druids" for that matter. Suit yourself.

Bonds of force and Atol's shackles had the same problem. I would get *way more resists* on bonds than Atol's. I'm sure whatever you're looking at has them evenly matched.

If you engage someone that is about 4-6 levels above you he will resist 10 roots in a row with 35 mr and the nukes will land for 5 points of damage (max dmg 60+).

The level difference seems it have a to big impact on how much things land etc.

Enchanter spells seem semi-broken, but i'm not the guy playing the enchanter so i can't speak for him.

ya.. only input i can have so far is at level 10 i HT'd a guy who conned red to me, it landed for 5 points of damage.

If both players are naked, one is 52 the other is 60... do you think the 60 should only get hit by 5 damage (or scaled equivalent) by spells from the 52? I think player resist rates need a hard look if they haven't been touched yet.

Level should not effect much about resist. The lvl 10 going against an 18 is already at an unfair disadvantage....

Also if there is 1 thing that will frustrate me off a pvp server its small hitbox. Melee is already pretty gimped and there is no way it was this small on live. Pvping on my lvl 6 ranger against another melee was fkin hilarious and sad at the same time. We both just ran around sidestepping and it was literally almost impossible to land a melee hit. We both just gave up and ran our own ways after about 4 minutes of this.
