General Discussion / Re: Rusty Yellow Arena Helmet

« on: January 07, 2011, 05:02:56 pm »

There is no option to repair it, and I can still wear it. I was under the impression that if an item was broken you could no longer wear it.

General Discussion / Rusty Yellow Arena Helmet

« on: January 07, 2011, 05:00:40 pm »

I am now the proud owner of a rusty yellow arena helmet. This is different than the yellow arena helmet I previously owned. It is not broken, as I have no option to repair it and I am still capable of wearing it. It looks the same as my old helmet and only has 1 point less armor. Is this some new item age system? Will It continue to deteriorate until I have to buy a new one?

Negative or positive, I always find it nice that people care enough about me to hit my respective buttons.

Actually you only have to spawn naked and then leave. You dont have to play next round at all.

yep, screw the autobalance. lol

I don't have time to read the whole ten pages, skimmed through the first four and didn't see this, sorry if its a repeat.

You should be able to leave between rounds (or at start of round) without all your equipment breaking. It makes casual play impossible.

That's a good idea actually. We'll just have to run the naked mile for a minute or two before we leave for the day. good call.

I will apologize. I am a whiner. I've made several posts since patch came out and most of them were complaints. I do like the patch. I like that I don't see as many archers as I used to (srsly, those guys were annoying). I like that I'm earning more gold and xp now. I like that players who have been around way longer than me don't automatically have an advantage because they can afford the best equipment.   I like the new in-game level-up system, which i'm not sure if its working right but it'll be pretty cool once the bugs get worked out.

I also like the strategus entry-announcement tie-ins, and the fact that the game tells me now when i've dinged.

I guess the reason I have complained more than I have praised is that there are things that I feel need attention, and those are the negative things not the positive. I know it's unfair; chadz needs to hear he's doing a good job, and he is. I very much enjoy playing Crpg and I doubt i'll stop until i have to. I would just rather see the mod grow up than sideways. There are fundamental flaws in every game and every patch, and while some of them are subjective no one will never know if the changes were good or bad for the community unless the community says something. Fair enough?

It's simple. If you leave, leave the server. If you are on the losing team your gear will downgrade. Even if you didn't participate nor get gold/xp.

Leave the slot open for other people.

I did. After a game completed I logged off. My equipment was then broken. I guess its okay if i played for a couple hours like tonight. But a lot of times I'll log in for a quick round or two. This will bankrupt me.

I wasn't in the middle of a round at all. I was at the selection screen before a new game started. It wasn't even mid-game. The map had just changed.

I don't understand. I was playing for a couple of hours after the patch came out, and my team was winning and we were having a time. Then I quit so I can go shower and eat, and when I come back I see all my gear is broken. I didn't quit in the middle of a game, and my team won the last game. Why do I now have to pay a fortune to fix every last piece of gear i had on when i stopped playing?

I think most of the frustration comes from the fact that you have no real control over it. If you're a great player who gets stuck on a crummy team you're doomed to pay for it.

Theres a chance every time you lose. I've noticed that at least one thing breaks every lost round.

I've noticed something as I'm playing on EU_1. It seems as my team keeps losing, the players on it can no longer afford to upkeep their arms and armor, and since we've all been good little doobies and sold off our noob gear most of us are SOL in the short term. Every round more and more of my team spawns naked, and the opposing team still has all their gear. We're stuck in a losing spiral because of it. QQ

I retired the other day, only lost 10 levels but my xp bonus isn't calculating properly from what I can tell, and my inherited wpf disappeared

General Discussion / Repair costs (equation)?

« on: January 05, 2011, 03:29:51 am »

Anyone figured out how the cost of repairs is generated? Is it a fixed percentage of cost or some other random concoction?
