My guess is that the 80% resist cap was part of a test build that accidentally got pushed live. It's a decent idea in the abstract but obviously something that wasn't fully tested (if it had been, they'd have found the issue with Zombie, the pyro pbaoes, elemental affinity, etc).
My guess as well. Hopefully they get this, the crashing that's been reported, and the health bug fixed soon.
I was looking forward to playing tonight, but guess I'll find something else to do til it gets fixed.
