Title: Repair Costs
Post by: Vandor__DesNordens on March 21, 2011, 04:22:36 pm
Hi All

If chadz read this:

Please change anything on repair: its not so nice with the repair because if u watn to take a better armor first time u must run with peasant armor that u can earn some money (because the repair costs) u only earn 50 Gold per minute (x1) and if u be in the looser tema u cant earn money. Its very hard to earn money i think. Perhaps we can change anything like other gold per minute like :

x1 = 100 Gold
x2 = 200 Gold
x3 = 300 Gold
x4 = 400 Gold
x5 = 500 Gold

Perhaps only !!!

U can take a little bit higher prices but at the moment its so hard to earn money if i see that some people had 500 k gold to the time i had 4 k :/

Please ... Perhaps u can anything Change :D

Nice Greetings Tibbers

Repair costs is fine. You can easily run with 15k-20k worth of body armor alone, especially if you do not carry the most expensive weapons and several of them. You'd be surprised how effective are some weapons below 3000 g worth. And dont carry a bloody xbow unless you are a real xbowman - if you do and the costs are bankrupting you, you have no right to complain.

Maybe decrease the repair cost to 70% from what it is now?
E.g 600 repair cost for drez lam armour
down to like 420 repair

oh, how nice another thread like this.

like others said its really fine. no one can afford to play permanently with complete high-end gear, and thats great. personally i think repair costs could be raised a tiny bit (or lower income if you like), but not essential.

In my opinion, repairs are VERY balanced right now.

I'm running around the NA servers with a lolstr build, and having a good time with it. I wear a lot of plate and carry some pretty expensive weapons (dropping about 3000 or 4000 if I end up repairing everything at once), and I still maintain my money supply ( +- 5,000g from my budget minimum, +- 50,000g max).

I think it's fine, to be honest. But if you want to increase the money supply, I can't say I'm complaining x)

I think the income and repair costs are perfectly balanced.

Repair Costs are way too high and items are damaged too often.

Also why do i have to repair my Horse for 1300+ Gold, after it was wounded or died?

I agree. You should pay for a new one instead.

Never see me complain about repair cost because i do the work and earn the gold to support a very costly build. I'd like to see the cost increased for everything.

Yesterday went 19-3 in battle with roughly 25k of equipment ( yes not amazing, but just using an example ), wearing peasant clothes with a great long axe and 3 stacks of heavy throwing axes, was earning alot of gold and still getting the kills.

Throwing is lame?

Upkeep is very balanced atm only thing bad on using high tier armor is that the new wpf % removed on weight is slightly high.

I was feeling myself slow on a character with 20 agility, 6 athletics and on 160 wpf in 2h with sarranid guard armor which shouldn't be the case.

The problem for you is that you're probably trying to constantly wear high tier gear - the upkeep system is intended to stop that.

If the x1 was changed to 100 (which is doubling the original value), then everyone could then wear double the value of armour and weapons they currently do. This would mean everyone could afford to wear high tier gear all the time which takes us back to pre-patch.

WHAT? HARD TO GET MONEY? Heh!

I've earned about 250k since new patch came. ;)

Yeah really, if you have money problems you are either a low level gen 1 or are doing it wrong. Using mid-level gear you can make an OBSCENE amount of money. Yesterday on one of my characters I bought 3 horses 'cause I don't have anything else to spend all this money on.

Everything is lame when you get killed by it according to some people.

Partially agree but just because I caught myself saying the same thing once... be sure to add up the original cost of your items you are wearing before they are heirloomed. The in-game total for an item increases for heirloomed items, even though that increase is not calculated in the repairs.

Current breakage and maintenance rates (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,2394.0.html) allows the average player to continuously field equipment worth between 35,000 and 40,000 gold (buying price) on the battle servers.

Or you could just go team stack on siege to make a little more gold...

I agree, repair costs are too high, you already spend enough money on purchasing.

I personally am fine with the repair system, as it works for me.

At lower modifiers (X1) I equip a 14K build, and at X2 and higher I put on my 35K outfit and I still make money either way. If I do not care about making money, I can usually break even and even make a small tidy sum from the 35K outfit in the long run.

I like that the maority of people are running around in medium armor, as that pleases me.

Also, to be fair, if Goretooth can use that black outfit of his, then I am content that the higher builds are viable.
