I remember using both on live and snare having a shit chance and ensnare landing almost every time on NPCs.

that's great but they definitely have the same bonus.

I think the hitbox could use a slight tweak- correct me if I'm mistaken, but on live, I remember having to run in front of people to hit them, so I'm inferring that the hitbox was larger back then.

Doesn't it have more to do with the connection you had back then ? With the lag you'd have to be "ahead" of them to hit them

Hitbox as it was on live please. As long as it's not easymode for anyone just starting out, it should be hard to joust.

If you try to make everyone happy, you end up with WoW.

That was probably a part of it. I don't know, though. On this beta, it seems like I press the auto attack button, unless I'm on top of the person, the attack doesn't even register, i.e. I rarely get a 'your target is too far away' message.

Then again, this could have a lot to do w/ using shit weapons w/ no haste. Which is why this 'grind to 50 to see what high level PvP is like' on beta thing is retarded.

A serious inquiry into jousting needs to be made, bros.

• Root and Snare seem to resist a lot on lower level players (or is it all spells?)
• Melee hitbox seems too small, making it very hard to hit moving players.

Root and Snare were resisted quite a bit on the team servers right at level 6 with 0 MR, nukes weren't resisted as much, IMO without any knowledge how the coding works, not all spell lines are treated the same. And likely shouldnt be. I don't think the tank should be rooted/snared every time he's in pvp at the lower or midlevels unarmed with any ability to debuff snares/roots.

Hit boxes, IMO, should be HUGE. Spell range sure is. And this is coming from an Enchanter

Big Null, you just need to summon competent people who actually want to test to come to the arena. I hope live launches with the right resist and this thing takes off.

Melee hitbox shouldn't be increased, it's already massive. Most bluebies don't know what jousting is so of course there are some initial complaints, but the box is larger already than on live.

Yes on live you had to run ahead of other players to hit them, but that was more due to the lag issues. That you can run at someones back and hit them while they're running away already shows the melee hit box is sufficiently large.

People need to drop that myth. Spells of a similar type with the same resist modifier do not have a magically different chance to land. There's no mechanic that somehow makes ensnare easier to land than snare, you probably just imagined it like with all the other staggeringly common EQ misconceptions.

I think they did have a higher chance to land on NPCs than they did in PVP... snare lines anyway. Root lines. Mez appeared to work with a high rate of success vs either "type", player or npc.

I have zero evidence.
