examples:
- a ring of protection from cold, jotunheim
- a burning ember, silverymoon
- a gleaming blue ring, fire giant village
- a large block of ice, silverymoon
- a leaping flame tattoo, greycloak
- a pair of goggles with smoked lenses, Doodajipple's Workshop
- a rune of fire protection etched into the scales, hyssk
- a small cold stone, silverymoon
- an uncut diamond pendant, um2
- a crown of fiery metal, crypts
- a pair of fiery boots, brass
- a sealskin wetsuit, evermeet bay
- a sparkling diamond pendant, silverymoon
- an intricately carved tabac pipe, smoke
- the amulet of the deep dragon, lair of the deep dragon
- a platinum earring, dark dominion
- a ring of protection from acid, hulburg

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
suggestion: the attrib formatting could be better, at the very least put poison on the same line as the other elemental DRs... and it's kind of hard to tell what's for what with no separation between the percent and the next stat. so first glance makes it look like 20% Elect, when in fact you have Cold : 20%
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
bug: elemental embodiment spells used to give protections to various damage types, at least 3 prots maybe 4, but now they don't seem to be adding anything to attrib resists.
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
suggestion: add resists to player races first when adding further stuff. like innate poison resist for dwarves or whatever. that way ppl get to see it working first hand and feel more involved with their chars rather than watching mobs get stuff before they do

Is the same change planned for evil/good? I still have:
Protected from: Evil Good
and
Mental: 0% Good : 0% Evil : 0% Law : 0% Chaos : 0%

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Malia - that doesn't seem right. I'll take a look.
Shalath - Yes, those are both next in line to be converted. Those spells work a little differently than the elemental resists so they weren't converted at the same time.

There is too many items with prots to just give a couple of examples of items you know.
Actually I think going asking for change items resistance one by one will be a neverending task.
Give items more than 10% resistance will be a bit too much I think, since you can wear items in 21 slots, and you most of time you only need one resistance to fight a dragon, and one spell grant you 25% resistance on gas,cold,fire,acid and lightning. Remember you could resist 50% or 0% from breath damage with just save vs breath.
I have a question or two:
What will happen with the save vs breath attribute on items ?
Will it be removed completely from code ?
Rogues have evasion skill, did you modify if for the new resistance system ?
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Muxx -
Save vs. breath and Evasion will remain as is for now. Saving vs. damage to can coexist with resisting damage - the two systems aren't at odds with one another. That's not to say that the system won't be overhauled in the future, but for now everything stays as is on the Saves front. Note that Saves always happen before resists, so the damage resists is taken off of the actual damage that would have been done, not the original damage pre-saves.

How does save vs breath figure into this?

i don't know hardly any of those items. i was using torileq to compile a list of items with only a prot as an effect. i left off the hundreds of items that had lots of other stats. those items are pure-prot according to torileq. did you even read the suggestion?

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
i don't know if it was this change or what but something that came in recently is making it so cleric mobs aren't tracking or coming to combat when they used to. casting realms over and over again?

suggestion for whatever the new display goes to: make it so it shows 'protected from eq burn thru cold, acid' in addition to whatever the prot resists are
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Lase - I didn't see any obvious issues. Looks like you were water embodied, which doubles damage. You were also being attacked by single-target line breath rather than area breath, which does more damage. Have you or anyone else experienced anything else similar?

If you going to quote me you must to quote all what I said about your suggestion not just a part, did you read all I wrote ?

Summary : I think 20% resistance is too much for a single item ( I mean why 20%, why not 50% ?) , and will not be more interesting to try first adjusting the items people usually wear than change items that nobody use or plan to do ?
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
bodycontrol psi skill doesn't provide resists any more. it used to do the same as GRP (prot all) and waterbreath

help bodycontrol
BODYCONTROL "BODY CONTROL"
Psionic Ability.
Syntax: bodycontrol self
Area of effect: Self
Duration: Depending on the skill of the Psionicist
Aggressive: No
Class/Level: Psionicist 15th
Type of Ability: Psychometabolism
Allows you to attune yourself to the environment surrounding you,
granting you protection from otherwise unsuitable environments.
And it also still shows on score as protected from environments, tested in fire plane and worked just fine.

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
do you just want to refute everything i post?
does it provide resists? type 'att' after using it and see if resist fire etc go up.

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Ok, Malia I'll try to recreate your issue more in depth. Is anyone else having these issues? If so, more detailed logs would be helpful, including output of your resistances active.

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Body Control never gave off conventional prots, but it *did* protect the user from planar damage like a prot would. When I converted it I kept that aspect in place but did not add any resists. It might work for the skill, but my initial focus was just in preserving what it already did.
Also, just a friendly reminder that flaming is not allowed in an official update thread like this one. This thread is linked directly from the homepage, so let's keep it civil and on topic please. Thanks!

Hrm I think you are mistaken about bodycontrol
Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
Ok. Are you saying that it granted protection from things other than Environment? I can't see any evidence of that in the code-base, but perhaps I'm missing something?

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]

The problem being that you only have 5% fire? Am I reading that right?
Also - has anyone had any further issues with dragonbreath since the last update?

Re: Game Update Notes: 11/25/2009 [New Zone And Resistances]
All the prots actually, the others are higher than 5% from eq.
Seems the dr from grp doesn't save when you rent out, but the spell status under score does.

Looks like fire form made it doo more damage as well. Not sure if it explains 642 but shrug.

Doesn't look like gas breath. looks like poison tick hit: You feel burning poison in your blood, the pain is intense. which does some damage to you and then: a crit physical hit: YIKES! Another hit like that, and you've had it!!. Could be wrong though.
