Overpriced Melee Weapons

[Grumbs]

Oh if prices really reflected use.. One could balance them against usage statistics with a simple formula.

Perhaps limiting change of 1% per week or something so not to create to much rage.

I suggested this many times before, and it would take care of a lot of 2h Kuyak heroes as well as certain types of polespammers.

The unique chars would gain the most from this, and punish minmaxers and archetypes.

I'd only really support this for force multipliers like cav or ranged. Having lots of the same 2 hand + same armour rather than mixing things up doesn't change a team's balance, because the gear is relatively balanced already. They all fulfil the same role more or less (within the same weapon type). I think this addition would be more to please people that don't like the aesthetics of certain gear combinations. If gear is OP then it just needs to be balanced and not so many people will use it. If they still do then thats their choice to make

Thomek, what do you mean exactly by "price should depend of use" ? Classes with low number of choices (ex: archers, crossbowmen) should pay even more because they are using a weapon that others use. I would be fine if it would apply to absolutely everyone AND on a server. Why should I pay more if no one is using the longbow for example on EU1, but some others do it generally...

[Thomek]

Well.. of course where there are not many options like for ranged it should be different.

The whole point is to introduce a bit of capitalism in that the prices reflect demand. And demand, but yeah, mostly theoretical at this point in the mods history I think.

It's being talked about. (err has been based on the activity of the forum at the moment)
