150k.

Those who have over 200-250k are either ninjas/archers or play a lot in peasant gear.

I got 16k I wear at least 30k to 40k of gear but if I get too much I buy something then I can't select all my stuff so I sell something cheap

On average each of my characters has between 30-70k... except for my shielder who for some reason just loses money hand over fist (same armor, same x-bow, just a sword and shield instead of a 2her or polearm) and is down to 2k   :?

I have about 60k. I try to keep above 50k at all times. I don't know why - I just feel safer knowing I have a 50k buffer.
Title: Re: Gold, GOLD, GOOOOLD I TELLS YA!
Post by: Count_RisArch on February 11, 2011, 10:17:47 pm
190k or so.

Started with 4k before the patch. Wear my un-heirloomed Banded Armor, Warlord Helmet, Scale Golves and Mail Boots. My weapon loadout is an hierloomed Heavy Bastard Sword +2, a Long Dagger and occasionally a Wooden Shield.

Comes to a grand total of 32k.

Never struggled to make money post-patch. Although it may have something to do with my resfusal to wear plate of any form nor wield the grossly expensive top-tier weapons.

You should split the 0-50k in "0-50k BECAZS UPKIP SUX" and "0-50k because I like the shop".

Yeah, I agree. I have around 20k on each of my characters...but I'm an item shop whore :D I hardly even use expensive equipment; I just buy it all!

The fact people have money ingame is the exact reason the actual economy is screwed.  Spend Spend Spend.

To me the game is a fashion show - every match is a chance to try on something new.  Whether I punch you in the face or cut off your legs matters little, it's what I'm wearing while I do it that really matters.  Pay attention - I actually put that outfit together to kill you in fool - did you even notice what I was wearing?  I'm throwing axes, but my outfit is mismatched, did you notice?  No?!  Fools, wake up, there is a fashion emergency in isle 911 and we're all at fault...

My archer Nanna has 200k or so, (then i went crazy and started buying all the gear I can use as archer) She makes about 3000 to 6000 a map or so.

My one hand shield Baldr has a constant 20000 (always buy armour for him, and new weapons.) He makes about 2000 to 3000 a map.

If people can make astronomical sums as we can make here its to low, if you can make so much gold then there needs to be balanced.

I'm sure that anyone who plays a decent amount and dresses as a ninja and only uses a katana could have a huge amount regardless of the amount of upkeep. Don't make it more harsh just because a few specific sub-classes (and archers) are doing very well. Any worse and I'd say the game will go from 30% archers, 30% ninjas and 40% the rest to 50% archers 50% ninjas.

On the NA servers, these numbers are not possible without a high modifier, or playing in peasant gear all the time. I just did the math, and if you AVERAGE an x3 modifier, which is significantly above what THE average modifier is(1.9), you'd make 3750 gold per map if the entire map duration was used for each round. This isn't even taking into consideration the cost of the equipment that you have break. If you use even ONE top tier weapon that breaks, with no other equipment breaking, that drops you below the 3k mark alone.

If you use 35k worth of equipment, divided equally among 7 slots(head, body, legs, hands, weapon, weapon2, ammo), your estimated repair cost in the above scenario would be approximately 1400. So you would have a net gain of 2350 in about 30 minutes if you averaged an x3 at the 35k equipment value.

The issue is, if you have a lower modifier for extended periods of time, not only does it suck to lose, but you get TERRIBLE xp and gold. At 1x, your income would only be 1250, while your expenses would remain at 1400. The reason this system works now is because all of those people you see wearing expensive gear, swinging expensive weapons; They lose money very quickly at low modifiers, depending on how expensive their gear is.

Anyway the results look balanced, 79% have under 200k, ninja/archers have more, trolls have 500k+.

I'm pretty sure Strategus will be a gold sink once Strategus + cRPG gold is one and the same. Which seems to be the general plan.

I'ts x3 i calc with, then give and take a little, but I do usually end up in x4-x5 when on my archer. Lucky I guess.

Well x3 is a very good average, I think 50% of my playtime I am in the team that gets owned 0-5 (autobalance ftw), yesterday I even had an 1 hour x1 record.

Funny thing about autobalance, 90% of the times I get kills in the first round I get balanced, 90% of the times I don't get a kill I don't get balanced.

11270 currently because I recently bought something before realizing I didn't have the strength for it. I usually float between 15k and 25k while wearing expensive but manageable gear.

It all depends on gear. We'd expect a ninja to get rich. Heavily armoured people and cavalry will have trouble breaking even.

You can link this thread with the repair poll thread, half the people are broke, half the people didn't like the upkeep system (and even the xp system has its problems). Reducing upkeep a little might be a good idea.

Don't be sad, it's better to have nothing to spend money on than to have no money because you chose the wrong playstyle.

Well I have to say I get fucked more when I play 1h+S, allot of +1 rounds but on my archer I am usually very lucky. She owns a full set black armour btw... While my 1h is still wearing paper clothes and sleeping in a box next to the subway =)

Post by: Zekerage on February 28, 2011, 02:19:43 am
I've got over 200K, but that's because I play with a War spear as my main weapon and I'm usually naked/wearing peasant clothes, just because that's how I play. It's not that armor costs too much.... it's just that it makes me too damn slow, and I'm spoiled on being fast and maneuverable.
