I'm in one screen shot not even on screen coming to port Rienne.

Nice try tho, Wrankles.

Wow Nirgon u just showed me what EQ PvP actually is, I feel so vulnerable and abused at the fact that these machine gun root pets and 240MR requirement are all I know...

Can we get someone to actually make this shit happen?

Plz?

[Nirgon]

Trying amigo.

[Rettii]

i mean, really, everytime i encounter someone from nihilum i just get wanded and rootspammed, nobody ever tries to nuke me.

as a member of the quality assurance team, i have to ask the developers: is this working as intended?

[Nirgon]

Step 0.5 is find a way to continue Null's work.

He broke the ground on separating PvE and PvP resist which created any ground work for the whole system. Scaling (level and resist), maximums and partials and how they work need to be arranged. Then it's just a matter of fixing the spell file or updating the DB to use these new maximum and scaling variables. Not sure what exists and what doesn't yet.

He was George Washington, now we just need an FDR.

As Hijinx pointed out, the scared bitches who can't pvp will be running around in no drop getting dirt napped. The skilled players will benefit from and risk their resist gear.

If anything (no offense to anyone) this is going to be in both party's favor, leaning towards the talented pvp squads.

I'm not casting root anyway because I'm not a scrubby and really am trying to force my play style to be classic for real enjoyment.

Try using zoning mechanics like you might in LoL or DotA2 in your EQ play... consider cast times and positioning. If you think there's no skill, you are bad. Period.

I'm just trying to point out that this game isn't about skill, I guess you disagree. In my opinion it is all about knowledge and preparation. From hearing you talk about the game it sounds like you have a great knowledge of the game. If you want to call that skill so be it.

PVE - knowing spawns, mob abilities, pathing, where to stand
PvP - knowing the zones, knowing class abilities, knowing where to stand, having the right clickies, knowing what items to farm to help your class shine

Skill to me means fast reactions, good instincts, hand eye coordination. This isn't what I think of when I think of RPG, which is the direction they have gone lately and is maybe why most people here hate new MMORPGs.

I think putting a bigger emphasis on item strength widens the gap on who has a chance to kill who. If the resist system is fixed to classic I doubt it will come with item loot so your point about the "skilled players" wearing resist gear doesn't add up.
