Game Balance Discussion / Re: Upkeep system flawed

« on: July 19, 2011, 04:13:21 am »

Considering I am only level 20 and this is my first week playing I cant seem to make anything.  I am an archer in given to me beginer clothes and I have the Tartar Bow with Bodkin arrows @15 and after I kid you not.. 30 battles my money hasnt went up or down.   I did siege for 3 hours last night and battle for 3 hours today and I am still at 7k.   Now I did make money to get what I have now but, it seems I have either hit the cap or just very unlucky.  I checked the last 10 maps.  And I paid every upkeep on the arrows in 4 out of the 5 rotation and some I did the bow as well.

Now I know people that have been playing for a while have 200k and all there the gear they want and so on and its not a problem for them for to run around but, to bring in new people with this is rough.  Now I dont expect to be in full plate by now but, I do expect to be able to buy something better then the starter clothes after 30. And I know I put out for the bow and arrows... but, like I said I cant win or lose anything at this point.  If I put out 4k on stuff I could very well go broke.

Its harsh to begin with.   Not so harsh after you have been around for a while I figure.

But, just my thoughts on it.

Suggestions Corner / New Player... Things I see..

2H spam is horrible.  The people that are topping the charts in all matches are 2H spammers.  I can not even get in an attack with any class I play except for an archer at range.  They can put me on my heels the whole fight.  And I just find that hard to believe.   A Pole Arm and a 2H Sword should put some weight restrictions on a lot of things.  Like I think there STR requirement should be a lot higher then it is so an Agility Build is just not going to happen and if it does go toward it then there is a hard cap.  This is max blah blah.

15 STR for long 2H sword with 40 cut is to low imho.

The people that I see top the charts never block they just hack and slash and I would rather see it to where they have to block once or twice.  But, as it stands now they never do.. they just swing away.

But, I guess that is the way of the game.  Swing Away. I wanted to try this and try that but, I am going with the swing away build and its working for me as well.  Just wish it were a little different.  The game is a lot easier if you never have to block because you can speed swing through almost everything. =D
