The AE is a superb find; with all of those people there it's just impossible that all but one of them resisted. In contrast, when Zlandicar does his 'flesh begins to liquefy' they all get hit. If Rising Ascension was doing this raid on P1999, about 1/3 of them would have been stunned at any given point even with 255 MR.
I commented on the fear before but wasn't able to draw Lord Nilbog's attention, so I hope you have better luck! If I were to hazard a guess, I would suggest that fear has two checks: a flat out resist check, which is modified by its Lure status, and the duration, which is not. That would explain why all of them get hit by the fear, but usually only for a few seconds.
I'm quite happy to see Taken trying this stuff and you posting some of your results vs classic. In particular I think PCs should be resisting a lot more of everything at 255.
