Game Mechanics: Resist results on even level and lower players here

[tmoneynegro]

Here's the new ones I made, both of these formulas are accurate within a 5% margin of error. The second one just tapers off slower:

Too high resist rates +1.

Finally, someone did it properly.

If we could get an official post from Rogean or others on the pvp code team that would be excellent. I would like to have some insight as to the plan for Resist ammount = Resist %. Thanks in advance =)

I concur resists need to be reviewed (in detail) for PvP and PvE.

I'm concerned when casting snare/root on a char that is 2 level's below with 25MR why 8/10 times it's getting resisted. +1 for having this looked at before live.

to be accurate, you have use a parser to record like 1000 casts at different times of the day

however because the resist rates are so obviously fucked, this isn't necessary..


also i really hope all these shitty graphs ppl are posting will not influence the GMs to go with a something so simplistic, and so melee friendly. the resist system of EQ live was certainly not a simple curved line. it more likely was a number of different "formulas" at different levels; between 1-55 MR use formula 1, between 55 and 95 use formula 2, between 95 and 140 use 3, etc.

according to whermact's latest graph: naked= 0% resist rate. naked + one MR buff= 65% resist rate. retarded

Do not, for the love of God, implement the "classic" resist system (that is 100+ resist == resist everything).


Is Null doing this system? I would trust Null on this, if that's the case. He knows how it will affect class balance.
