Does anyone actually think that Resolve is actually a working system?

"Crowd controlled" is pretty vague terminology. I think he was looking for something more specific, as in what actual abilities do build Resolve, how much they might build. Something better than a really brief overview of the Resolve system buried in a Q&A written even before open beta began.

Of course, we know that stuns, mezzes, and physics effect it and that roots and snares don't, but that's not actually written anywhere by Bioware. We know that it's generally around 100 Resolve per second of CC for mezzes, and 200 for stuns, but this is also not written anywhere by Bioware.

We "know" that Resolve is working as intended, but the guy was saying that it's not written anywhere by Bioware exactly how it's intended to work, so we're basically just assuming it's working as intended because we haven't been told any different.

With all that said, I do think it's doing what it's designed to do, but I think the design is flawed and could be improved a bit.

If it's OK to be stunned twice for 4 seconds, then knocked back and knocked down twice and then stunned twice again, all in 20 seconds, then yeah, resolve is a working system, sure.

How many different ways can one say..
If you can't use abilities, it's a CC and causes resolve..

Every ability in the game that currently causes resolve prevents your character from taking action.
Knockbacks do this while you're flying through the air............

I can't say that any other ways..
But there it is.
Perfectly explained on what will cause resolve and what won't.

It is a great feature, and it works great.
What players run into is not understanding how it works, or not understanding how to use it to your advantage so they blame the system.........

If everything caused resolve and you were immune to everything while under the effects of resolve........
They might as well remove every snare, root, and cc from the game.........................
It would be the same basic thing.........

If you think roots/snares should be affected by resolve, that's because you have bad experiences with them and don't know how to handle them....

If you're one of those players that is saying "Because it's working as intended when you can be stunned all the time" I suggest looking at what you're doing wrong, not how resolve is working..
I'm not calling anyone bad, I'm saying I have no problem WHAT SO EVER with stuns/roots...

I do not get stunned and then die before I can ever do anything...
If that happens to you then I can't respond.

This is impossbile. You are lying. If you have a video proof, post it. Otherwise, you are a liar.

It works for me.

The resolve game mechanic is in place to prevent too many hostile abilities that cause total loss of character. Snare and Root do not prevent total loss of character (you can for example still pass the hutt ball, you can still use your abiliites and you can still use a consumable).

Skills that cause a mesmerize or stun effect etc. does not work on a target that currently have resolve immunity.

Snares and Roots are not affected or affect resolve.

If your force/tech accuracy is low enough or if your target have high enough force/tech resistance (or even immunity) then your memerize or stun effect etc can miss (or get "resisted" which is the same thing really) even if your target does currently not have resolve immunity. Force Shroud is a good example of an ability that does this. There are other examples.

To recap; Resolve work in the expected way for me. Every single time. Maybe you have different expectations on what resolve should do compared to what it actually does...?

Yes, you get it. Thank you.

That's all I've been trying to say. Not a single person, for or against resolve, can honestly argue it is/isn't working without knowing what BioWare intended and how they envisioned it.


"How fast can the car go?"
"I don't know, don't ask me that. Just know the car can go!"
"What's the top speed?"
"C'mon, what's with the questions - isn't it enough we put a gas pedal inside?"
"What sort of MPG can I expect?"
"These questions are starting to annoy me, do you think *I* know that? Just buy the damned car!"

That's a very, very, very broad description of how resolve works. There's no mention of what is/isn't CC, they DO mention tuning resolve values, so it'd be nice to know how they have those tuned; past, present, and future. There's no mention of the mechanics of how it works aside from the generic "push pedal it moves vroom!" style.

This is very possible. Being suffered from such effect several times.

And you are simply blind.

Stunned twice for 4 seconds = 1600 resolve. Even if you are a moron and you used CCbreaker immidiately on your first stun, it is 17,5 sec of CC immunity. Than knocked down twice = 2 GCD at least, so we already used 20 seconds. No time for being knocked back twice and stunned twice anymore (and 2 knockdowns = 600 resolve, 1 knockback gives 400, so you are at 1000 again).

If you are not a moron and you used CCbreaker on second stun, no other resolve-affected CC can happen in that 20 sec period.

Both you and previous posters are liars (and trolls probably).

I liked in lotro where you got short term immunity after being cc'd. Think it was like 15-20 sec. So you couldn't be stunned twice in a row, or rooted/slowed.

As if Hutt Ball wasn't broken already. Adding roots to resolve won't make a massive shift in that. Sorry if you think spamming your roots to fully resolved targets is perfectly fair. You'll actually have to think about how you apply CC, not just spam it and pretend you're good at one particular arena.

Hutt Ball is just a contest on who has the most sprints, leaps, and pulls to begin with. It's a stacked map that depends more on team composition than anything else. If adding roots to resolve breaks that then I welcome it.
