My quarterly check-in

[xblade724]

How's the server? Exp boost yet? Resists fixed so bards don't get rooted exp death with 99% chance with massive MR? Expansion released yet? Any other goodies?

read patch notes for details but yes xp bonus in place, planes open, Nihilum losing control of their Zerg.

He didn't ask a single question about Nihilum, you jackass.

Exp was boosted 2% for every level you are from 51. So 100% at level 1, 50% at level 26.

Resists are still shit. Expect root to land 50% of the time with 100 MR. 150 FR and you might resist 20% of a bolt.

Fear is open, but not Sol Ro.

They said they lowered PvP resist rates from 80% to 67%, but it isn't working yet.

Manastones don't work in planes.

60%...with 150FR you will resist on average 60% of a Lava Bolt...

Lord Null, can we get whirl and root rates worked on?

You can say "No" and we will stfu about it, but its not how it worked on classic. We've ABUSED this spell killing people, it sucks.

I think it's the only glaring pvp problem left.

Disease and poison rates aside... whatever... we won't nag you.

XP rate is up, you should be able to swarm your way to 50 without too much grief. Most players are now focused in the Innothule / Feerott area.

"Play EverQuest!" (click!)

Whirl resist mods should be absolutely insane, short of just removing that spell from PvP I don't know what else I can do.

Please. Anything that impairs movement (stuns/roots/snares/etc) needs to be adjusted to a much lower mr requirement for resist. These things were easy breezy resists even close to 100 mr on live.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Gloinz it's getting closer to an absolutely incredible box as we go forward.

They aren't going to take it down, it's saving your characters.

Ignore the doomsayers, they're just player hating from the sidelines.

Posts like the ones Null just made are game changers.

Global ooc does deserve a trial period, even if it's just to prove to those asking why it won't work. I'm sure the code is somewhere or just a flag they can change in the DB, but maybe I'm wrong.

So I won't be hurling anymore? Zomg I'm comin get YOU enchanter!

If you aren't resist geared to the teeth (and even still) a good enchanter will slap the taste out of your mouth. Sorry, no spoilers.
