The resist_posion stats was not affecting the new poison attacktype, so it got disabled. We might add it back in the future.

That's better than it is now though, no? We'd probably all agree.

Not really. It made the resist posion totally useless, infact all items with poison resist would be useless too.

96 + poison resist and I am still poisoned just as easily and take as much of a stat hit as people without anywhere near that much. Not trying to be a smartass, but do we know if the poison resist actually works..?

Decided quoting both was apt.

I think we'd all trade poison resist as a stat even temporarily to have poison back to the way it was changed.

There are a lot of statistics that don't work properly. The point is that it was worth it

I just stop fighting when I go from 30/30/30 to 22/23/22 in a spar with 96+ poison resist. Just can't compete.

Yeah, I tend to ski out of the spar once I get poisoned.

resist in pvp are lame. should only be used in pve to prevent making certain gods/items op and stackable.

They're useful in PvE though. Brigid's Shield of the Earth blocks out a decent amount of spell damage from monsters. Especially if scrolls are used as well. (Roughly +60 Resist Fire / Cold / Electricity.)

But yeah, the way resistances work in PvP is definitely lame.


Also, on an unrelated note, I fully support going to the new poison type instead of the old. It's just too game-breaking. Best of luck to you all on getting that problem fixed.

I wondered why i got poisoned so fast in event spars recently even after using holy pos, now i know why, perhaps tie in revamping gods along with the actual attack types? Ogma followers have a double edged sword with their blessings, they are very powerful but now they do not really have a way to resist that same attack type.

General
* Make food deplete slower and reduce players feeling like they need to stay bile. - Hopefully this will help diversify what gods are being used among the playerbase.

Does this mean Bile holy possession will have poison resist again? I've heard this is one of two factors that makes bile an ''OP GOD'' the factor not included is our resistance to fear being 100 and the fact that we don't have to worry about food. Balancing the deplete and removing fear from 100(fear lower then 100 has already been inputted I've heard has happened to new players who went bile) and not having poison resistance from our current holy possession makes us simply a PVE god. In spar its complete domination without poison resistance i'd hate to miss out on the next monthly spar.

[Cubical]

it would take 30 seconds to reenable

[DripZ]

That'd be cool.
