Evasion issue

[Adrian]

Hi Community,

As we said in other thread, we must first finish preparing our new staff to face the skill and gameplay Balance. Also, we need to fix the evasion/block/resist system not to be so luck based to start balancing. We don't know exactly when this will be done, but surely as soon as we can.

We are very aware of the problems that this system is causing, but it's working (don't quote this :P ) and applying a new system could break the whole game and make the situation even worse, so you must understand that we need to be fully prepared to do so.

Regards,

Thank you very much for responding.

I like to hear that you are aware of the fact that the current situation is really bad. Well, of course I would have loved a "we'll fix it in the next update", but I understand that this isn't just a bug-fix as they usually are, but a complete change in the system. Anyway, I hope something is going to happen, and I hope it's going to happen soon.

Thanks for your response, Kailer, I just want to add that...

A complete change to the system is what we need.

The block, evades and resists system was poorly thought out (I know, the developers try their best, but still), because there is far too much reliance on 1) luck and 2) 100% resistance when your luck comes through. For example, blocked attacks and spells are blocked completely, even if it doesn't make sense for that to happen (e.g Ethereal arrow, which is supposed to bypass the shield, the device used to block).

At the moment, simply put, Regnum's system for this makes no sense at all, and many people in the community have made many good suggestions to not only make the system less luck-based, but also much more useful and "down to earth". This thread alone contains many good suggestions to help fix common problems.

We can only hope that NGD really reads and understands, that in the eyes of many players in the community, this system has failed and simply needs to be replaced with some new ideas and ultimately something that is much better planned out now that the game has gone mainstream.

Only then can the balance of other skills in the game truly begin.

I didn't refuse that. By what I said I meant that I understand it would be pretty complicated and a fix like this would take a while to be done.

I know. I was just commenting on what Kailer said using your post as a reference.

That guy is not really lucky.
This is how it happens in most fights.

Today I was leveling Asreall to level 34 (yes i made it) and i was killing stone golems (by earth altar near Rae) and they evaded AT LEAST one arrow per mob!! Most evaded like 3/mob!! It was ridiculous and I was loosing arrows fast.
