Ok heres the situation. At level 28 or 29 I went to nektulos Forest with
some friends and we killed Guards and corporals for loot. We sometimes drew
overpulls but beguile let us escape them, usually by charming a guard to
fight the corporal. Today we dicided to go to Solusek and as I waited for my
friends someone pulled the corporal and two guards. All three were dark
green to me at level 32.
The Corporal on walking apst came at me and I tashani'd him and tried to
beguile him. And failed. 8 times in a row. I killed it the old fashioned way
and thenwhen my friends came we experimented. $ casts on Dark green guards
all after tashani all resisted. Another 8 casts on Corporals also after
tashani everyone resisted.

I was mad as hell. This isn't a random number problem this is deliberately
making a mob that I should ahve a chance of charming IMMUNE to it. When I
travel solo I have a choice, I always go with a pet spell memmed or with
beguile. Usually beguile because my other spell mix is geared to flight
rather then fight. I used to be fairly certain that with 160 charisma I
could reasonably expect to succeed in a charm of a green. Now that faith is
gone. What other random mobs has Verant decided to make IMMUNE to one of the
Major spells we Enchanters rely on? How many deaths am I going to face
discovering these little changes. I feedbacked it.
I petitioned it. I got a tell from a GM or Guide that siad they couldn't
discuss game mechanic changes but there was something in the news file. I
logged out to check the news file and didn't see anything so is there anyone
out there who can enlighten me as too what the guide or Gm was referring to?
And what benefit did we get in exchange for making a spell that we could
reasonably count on now totally uncertain? I could understand making charm
spells harder to resist, but thats not what happened. They made a certain
mob type Immune to them and if they did it for one they probably did it for
others.
I think we need to ask Verant to undo this change, Charm spells are the core
of the Enchanter class and screwing around with them in that manner is
crazy. Thanks. Any help or comments are appreciated.
