So I have an alternate character which is an archer. Thanks to this dandy fucking upkeep patch I now have basically no gold to pay for my equipment. Not only did this patch nerf archers (again) but now I have almost no chance to even come somewhere close to the top of the scoreboards because I can't use my good load out.
Now I don't want to bitch over chadz's tunnel vision when he makes patches although I would oh-so like to. But rather come up with a somewhat solution without waiting for the upkeep to go back down.
Allow the marketplace for alt characters so I cant actually sell the loom point on this character and/or give money to it from my main. I don't know why NOT having this option would even matter. Who cares if a rich player can just supply 10 different alts fully. Let them play what they want.
Just a tip: when you go to patch something, think about the results.
For example:
Raising upkeep =
- Less heavy armor
- Less money in general for any new player.
On my main this upkeep doesn't even matter. This is just basically fucking over people with no money as is. I think about 10% of the community agrees with this patch, and 8% of that 10 are trolling.
With love,
Hisagi

would be nice if first 3 gens had a discount on upkeep, like only half or a third

Yes I do agree that the new upkeep system does seem a little extreme. I still feel it needs lowered down just a bit more.
Honestly though I think before this patch upkeep was fine where it was at, it was enough that the average person couldn't constantly use a top gear load out.

I can wear this stuff forever (66k) and still getting profits.

That is not 66k. It's 66k including heirlooms, which don't increase your upkeep cost.
In upkeep terms, that looks more like 8k (armor) + 16k (sword) + 6k (helm) + 10k (gloves) + 2k (legs) = 42k.

Maybe I've not understood how moneymaking works, but I'm losing money and my equipment is worth a total of 22k.
If I use both my crossbow and the katana, I lose money.
So, how are you making money? Do you have some way of ensuring that your x stays high enough? What have I missed here?
-
Are you using types of weapons you have a lot of WPF in? For example, if you use 2h but have 1 wpf in 2h, it will break more often.
-
I use a katana(which is 2-handed) and my wpf for it is 160 or so
-
Then you must've been unlucky with the multipliers then. I use around 40k of equip and I still gain gold..

But you also use a crossbow, which you must have ~1wpf in. That crossbow gets repaired a ton because of it.
Stop bringing the crossbow, and you'll make money.
