Confirmed - armor, resists values on pservers is wrong

[Ironsides-stormreaver (Ironsides)]

1. The spells are scripted based on our understanding of how they work.
2. The way the spells are hot-wired together is also wrong by wrong squared.
3. The way Armor / Resist Values work on Private servers is flat out confirmed wrong.
4. Also consider that feedback loops exist in math, and given that WoW is a math based game you cannot change a single thing by even 2% and not expect that to have wide sweeping effects.

Are you referencing player spells or raid boss spells? Player spells are simple coefficients formulas.
Armor values on private servers work wrong? Where is the source? I always provide my evidence and link it, I would appreciate some reciprocity.

Attacker Levels 60 - 79

DR% = Armor / (Armor + 400 + 85 * (AttackerLevel + 4.5 * (AttackerLevel - 59)))

All spells, even if you’re off by a fraction it’s massive. Even something mundane like the timing on the GDC being non-authentic can be destructive.

There are so many minor details that can screw everything up, it’s not even funny just how easy it is to make a mess out of game balance in an MMORPG.

Uh, yeah, pservers were always up front about the fact that they were only emulating the game as best they could.

Already responded to it.

Which video, would you mind linking it to me? There were like 20 videos put up yesterday and I’m not wasting 6 hours trawling through them all.

Bloodthirst was buffed in 1.9 from 40>45%. Not sure why you would bring up such an easily verifiable change.

I’m assuming you meant this video.

“Thematic Armor and Thematic Resistance Values”
aka, some bosses have more/less armor and more/less resistances depending on their “theme” so to speak.

I agree it’s very possible. But I disagree with him when he says that all bosses on private servers don’t already have thematic resist values. Try fireballing Ragnaros on LH/K3

It can also explain this huge discrepancy I saw on Kel’Thuzad’s armor on a reddit thread a while back which used kick to calculate his armor at around 3000 (much less than private servers standard 3700/4700).

It doesn’t necessarily disprove the “standardized” armor values concept. It just says “certain bosses may vary”, but the standard may very well be 3700. With values changing depending on the bosses theme (Garr being the example used in his video, Kel Thuzad being the example in https://www.reddit.com/r/wowservers/comments/az785q/proof_kelthuzad_had_just_3000_armor/)
