Spells: Resist issue since patch thread

[blondeattk]

this is messed up.

I got resists off dark blues but could land spells for FULL damage on yellow cons

thats not right. Useful bug to help me lvl faster, thanks for the exploit good job )

Just had a green con Spectral Curate in Karnors resist winged death which is supposed to have a -100 MR check, lol.

I love recasting charm 5 times in a fight with 219 cha.

Resists are simply absurd, don't play this game while Developers continue to ignore it.

Having every individual who has an anomalous result run to the forums to post it makes it seem like there's an issue when there is not. Sometimes things are going to go badly for some of us, the only way to avoid that would be if nothing could fail, which would be about as :notclassic: as you could get.

If it was 1/10th as bad as people are trying oh so hard to paint it my druid would've died half-a-dozen times root-rotting blues in the last fwe days. Amazingly, because I always kept a mana buffer and had a workable escape route for when multiple resists happen... you know, just the way we had to play back in the day ... he didn't die once.

This is much more similar to the way the game played back in the day than it was before the patch. Root & charm especially were way the hell too effective here. It's better now.

It was 1:100. I coded to change to 1:200, when spell doesnt have (-) resist check. So coming soon.

I ran many tests and resists were rare. And everyone who saw a resist has run here whining.

as feedback:

it was screwy a few weeks ago when everyone was posting, it *seemed* like it got made better, but since the last time the server was down it's been back to bad.

Again: right now, charm breaks are so bad that it's the difference between "might die if you're not careful" and "probably going to die every time you charm something"

as further feedback:

i'm getting mez resists on high green/low blue cons AFTER HAVING TASHED THEM

hopefully this is helpful

Interesting idea. Dump the always a chance to resist if stats are debuffed. Will look at that.

My goal this week is to get doors coded into LoS code. So wish me luck. Will do some resist tweaks first maybe.

I'll give some more feedback, if it's helpful:

with tash and 233cha:

two weeks ago when you got a bunch of "wtf is going on posts" the charm break rate went way up, for some reason. Something was done, and it went back to normal.

The exact, EXACT same thing is going on now. it's so bad that it's not worth charming anything now. My suspicion is that the server downtime reverted it in some way, but you guys might have other stuff going on.

My hope is that you guys are able to recognize that whatever tweaks you did massively messed up the resist/charm break rate.

hopefully this info is helpful!
