Title: Upkeep INDIVIDUAL items?
Post by: PieParadox on January 06, 2011, 11:11:09 pm
I'm guessing many people already had this idea, but is it not possible just to create higher upkeep on certain items (specifically plate)? I mean percentages go up as armour cost goes up, but why not just make the percentages different at a certain level of items, such as when you start to move into mail, then plate?

Great idea, this is a good way to kind of section off equipment into their own categories instead of just having across the board upkeep.

I didn't get to quite explain myself more since I wrote this in a hurry, but I believe that creating higher upkeep on certain items would limit the amount of times a person would be able to use heavy armour. A higher upkeep (15%-20%) on plate and lower upkeep for lighter armour wouldn't really cause the problem of having naked people running around, but allow heavy armour to be used occasionally.

I feel this would solve a good number of problems with the balance of plate...?

Thats stupid, you already pay 2k for the plate mittens thats enough, leave the plater alone and let them play with their gear

Yeah I don't agree with higher percentage for higher gear.

You already pay exponentially more upkeep with higher gear simply because it costs so much more already. I would be severely disappointed if Plate and other high tier weapons disappeared from the game (This coming from somebody who doesn't own plate or any of that stuff). I just don't want to see EVERYONE in high tier weapons and armor, and I think the patch has solved that. If you build a good cushion by playing medium tier for a while, you should be able to use your cash to play in the highest of gear for a bit.
