I also lost a lot of money with the patch because of that.
However, what I don't understand is that the break chance is at 4% and the repair cost at 5%. So I would say that on the long term, in average we should lost around 0.04*0.05=0.002 --> 0.2% of the total cost of our equipment each round.
If we also consider that in average, we win 50% of the party we play, we could say that the average earning is of :
100 gold (with several wins in a row sometime it should be something like that) * the number of minute, so lets say 3 minutes per party, so we could consider that we win 300 gold per party.
So we could calculate the total amount of equipment we could wear that will be compensate by the earning. It will be 300/0.002= 150 000 gold
If my calculation are right (I hope so^^) on the long term, we should be able to were for 150 000 gold of equipment without losing or wining money on long term.
However, I played yesterday for like an hour, with 40 000gold of equipment in total and I was lucky to make 15 victory in a row and I still lose money... or i should have won (200*3 - 40 000*0.002)*15= 7 800 gold.
Of course I now that we can be unlucky, but I played during maybe 5 or 6 hours then and I always lost money, whereas with my equipment I should have won money easily (40 000 is a lot smaller than 150 000)
So I think that the patch is a good thing, and the ratio as given (4% chance to break and 5%cost) are good, but I have the fealing that these are not the number really applied in the game.
I do not have made the calculation, but it seems to me that the 5% cost to repair is good, but the 4% chance to break seems to be clearly wrong to me (it seems to be at 20% or 30%)
Can anyone explain me if I am wrong or if you have an explaination about my observation??
