Title: Lower the price of "wealthy" items?
Post by: IR_Kuoin on November 07, 2012, 01:08:04 pm
Looking at the armor stats of these robes they aren't really "justified" prices. 200 + upkeep for a Priests robe with 8 body armor and 6 leg armor. Most of these low-stats-high-upkeep armors looks cool  / fun to use when low level, but the price for them, not fitting?

sincerely a guy who is to attached to his internet gold

I completely agree, I can't be arsed paying 200+ gold for my epic kimono of doom when I can just take some shitty looking armor for 5+ gold upkeep with better stats.

I Think this price was increased because men were able to wear dresses.

That armor is for the 1%. Deal with it, peasants.

If I as a male can wear dresses once more I don't mind paying extra for the Prada robe.

No, bad idea: these items are expensive for a reason, and that reason is: IM RICH BITCH


Im serious, if you cannot afford the upkeep these, you ARE a peasant and dont deserve these items, they are not for plebs, they are for us nobles. Their price reflects how they look and not their armour value, noone who is wearing that stuff is wearing it for its min-maxing potential, they wearing it because they are pimps and thats blingbling

Like BlindGuy said, they are "expensive" for a reason.
If anything the prices should be increased further so that those who wears them gets a higher status.
Personally I think they are too low. 10.000 would be more suitable.

I'm no peasant little Templar guy, having enough money to pay for your upkeep doesn't mean you don't want the peasant clothes to be the price they "deserve".

LOL, they ARE NOT peasant clothes, thats what u have not understood: They are Noble's clothes, and clearly look different from the ACTUAL peasant clothes.

 I know they don't look like the regular peasant scramble, but their armor stats are lower than most peasant clothes, which barely have an upkeep price. I just find it silly to put 200+ repair on clothes that are lower than most peasant armor.

Nobody in c-RPG is a noble unless they own a fief, otherwise you are just some rich sod who possibly has a horse.

You are missing the point. Take a look at real life.

Rich people don't complain about low armor values. They wear expensive clothes to seperate from lower class people.
They don't care about how protective their clothes are...

So if I own a fief and wear these clothes you will address me as "My Lord", and give me the respect a royal noble deserves? You better, elsewise I'll have your tongue.

Nope, being one of the Fallen Brigade I'd tell you in no uncertain terms to go stuff yourself, and watch with dry amusement as you can't enforce your threats of taking my tongue. You'd be a noble, possibly rich, possibly poor, but I would not care one whit.

Tell me Riddaren, since when in this modern age did rich people wear expensive non-protecting armor?

You know the medieval age is over right?

Got your tongue! Silly little rascal. Next time you'll watch your words.

Everything else you say after this in this thread will be read as "sadfdhfgdgdfg" as you have no tongue.

Rich people wear clothes with an extreme emphasis on form over function. That is why they are so expensive despite having no real value in a fight. The armor rating is low because a wedding dress (for example) is not at all designed for combat.

You are taking this silly thing very seriously.

Never. I shant be ordered around by a mere COMMONER.

Not but in all seriousness, the upkeep on the items really isn't THAT bad, I'm sure you can afford it. If you really can't, I'll donate you a few thousand as I'm a generous NOBLE with many a splendid coin.

As my first post stated, I only said that I think the price you have to pay for the armor value is a bit silly, and that it would be fun to use them as a low level char. which can't really do much the first levels.

The webpage clearly say its armor, having the "Body armor" stats shown, and the body armor mark on the shop

You fail to appreciate my many real life holdings and titles, serf!


Also noble =/= being a lord,  traditionally the nobility were made up of landed aristocracy but the two are not mutually inclusive and i belive the same goes for Calradia.
