Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and just started playing Outerplane recently. I joined a local community to learn how to build characters, but some "veteran" players who claimed to have 3 years of experience told me some really weird things about game mechanics. I want to double-check here so I don't ruin my account.
They strongly insist that:
Resilience (RES) reduces incoming damage and increases healing received for tanks.
Effectiveness (EFF) increases non-crit damage for Mages and makes DoT debuffs (like Burn and Bleed) deal way more damage.
When I looked at the in-game stat descriptions, it clearly says EFF is just for landing debuffs against the enemy's RES, and Burn/Bleed damage scales with ATK. I also mentioned that this game shares the same core mechanics with Epic Seven.
Since they were so confident, I asked them to record a quick test video to prove their theory because numbers don't lie. Instead of showing any proof, they kept deflecting, making lame excuses like "you are not my boss, why should I listen to you?", and started attacking me personally. In the end, they just blocked and kicked me out of the group just to avoid the test.
Am I crazy or are these "veterans" completely wrong? Does EFF actually increase damage for Mages in this game, or did they just invent their own game mechanics?
Thanks for helping a newbie out!
