Title: [Latest Patch] Armors are now made of paper
Post by: Agouri on July 01, 2013, 08:53:52 pm
Am I the only one bleeding gold like a motherfudger? I could almost break even with plate+danish greatsword, I only bled a little.

Now I can'tt even break even with heraldic+longsword. EVERYTHING breaks, every round, no matter the defeat or victory. 1200 gold per round.

Have you noticed similar behaviours or am I just unlucky?

Sounds like you're just having some bad luck, I've been about the same in terms of income.

However I do feel for you, back in the early days of upkeep I was losing so much money using cheap gear I almost quit the game, it was so frustrating.  Hopefully you find your luck again soon

Your words of kindness sooth my heart in this time of need, thank you.

the problem you are facing stems from the lack of ritual sacrafice to appease the crpg gods. Go out and find a fitting sacrafice a small animal will do fine, squirrel, duck, snake, etc. Once uou have your sacrafice simply remove its heart and insert it to your CD drive while crpg is running.

have used this solution many times.

Oh my gods, dude. You are leaving out like half of the important things. The ritual has to be performed at a crossroads, during the witching hour. You can also forgo the sacrifice of another life by spilling blood and libations. Crossroads spirits from the americas prefer rum, european spirits prefer wine, and russian/siberian spirits prefer vodka. A fine cigar shared with the spirits at the crossroads will do wonders as well.

May the golden-heeled maiden of Tartarus smile upon you! As Hades lies beneath our realm, Hecate's domain lies beneath Hades. Let your prayers sink deep into the soil.

Don't perform witchcraft without proper education. That's like playing with a jackhammer and not reading the instruction manual.

Yo if you haven't read any grimoires then don't try to do magic bro. Magic done improperly will not only fizzle out uselessly - you also stand a good chance of angering spirits of the place or ley line walkers who come upon your botched ritual. Without practice or guidance, you are likely to end up calling forth an Outsider who can break their bonds and cause a pain worse than death.

For real? Or is this some kind of irony without smiley?

Because I always thought that every item has a chance to break after the end of the round, and not a certain amount of items.

I mean if your armour has a chance x to break after a win and a chance y after a loss, a dagger doesn't influence it at all, because he has his own x and y chances. You know what I mean? It's like the bad, old joke with the mathematician who brings a bomb on his flight, because the chance that there are two bombs on one plane is almost equal nill.

The random aspect of upkeep was a foolish idea from the beginning. Every item should have a fixed upkeep per minute equipped, with variable gold/XP rewards depending on performance+proximity to objectives.

In average I'm paying repair for 3, 4 items a round, even with low price gear I'm not gaining any gold unless on x4 or x5 which I rarely get on siege more than 3 rounds out of 10, so I'm stuck on same amount of gold. For ppl like me who don't rely on market or strat to make gold, this is really hard to make profit of.

And that, has encouraged many ppl to play in peasant gear lately just to escape upkeep!

it would interesting to see how much upkeep all the people have who say they are LOSING money.

on my main Tojo I have 1,778 gold repair bill if everything breaks.
my STF has a repair bill of only 250 gold... (to make money all i have to do is last 5 xp ticks at x1   =250g)
x5 on my STF makes alot of gold

I think that upkeep should only be paid by the winning team of a round, Discouraging armor-crutches from determining the battles outcome, fearing the loads of income coming their way. Also, it might be more realistic in the sense that even though they achieved victory they still got beat up in the process. Whereas the dead team wouldn't pay shit because they are dead. Then again, there are obviously flaws in my idea. Just my opinion.

Upkeep itself is a flawed mechanic. You can do what you want, it will always remain a bad system. No way to find a good solution without removing upkeep.

I think the game randomly chooses a random amount of items to be repaired, but if you add daggers to your inventory, there´s always a chance that you can get away with a cheap repair.
I´m using it for my 2h (2h and two daggers) and I recorded the repairs for quite a time: it seemed to work for me.
Still, I recorded my repairs for nearly two weeks 2 years ago and don´t know if the system has changed by now ;P

The repair chance triggers for every item separately, so there's no way to reduce this chance by wearing more cheap items.  :)
Although, if ot works for you, why not...

If you get a smoke bomb kill in a given round, you won't pay upkeep that round.

Ask cochon, he will verify.
