New repair values are much too high

[Vibe]

Hey guys, i guess all of you have bought all the armors and weapons he wants to?
You all have the set of gears you want?

So why do you want more gold? For doing what?

More looms!

With a Kettle Helmet, Black Lamellar Vest, Red Wisby Gauntlets, Splinted Greaves, and a Heavy Bastard Sword (I also use a destrier and a courser occasionally) I have gained 140k gold since the upkeep patch. Also I have noticed no significant change in my personal gameplay since I switched from Heraldic w/ tabard to Black Lamellar and Longsword to Heavy Bastard (my only equipment changes since the patch). I don't mind the upkeep, doesn't seem to effect me.

infantry and archers are doable with the new upkeep, but what if you're cav like me? you either take a horse that's not worth it, you can't make money because you take a good horse or you take a good horse but your dead with every attack that hits you because you wear fucked up armor

Using 9 K gear and reguly winning my UAM (united africam militia) char is only just making cash (4K in a couple of nights). With the old system i would probably have around 7 k in the same amount of time.

On my more serious characters 19-27K is proving to be the limit. Which is stupid in my opinion, one should be able to splash out on one item in their load out or carry a full set of mid tier gear.
Before the Patch I was able to wear 50K on a very successful Cav 2H build guard armour, Great sword, Langes messer, cav shield and the list goes on that was silly but honestly this new system is far to limiting- combined with the return of throwing and hard hitting bowman it really takes away a bit of the achievement  that in the real old days was associated with saving up for new and "better" gear.

I'd rather upkeep for armour be increased actually. Still way too easy to roll with a lot of expensive gear.

That's a total 41905, tbh I don't believe that at all
I'll test it though, using this build

I lost 10000 gold in 4 maps. That's with multipliers as well, often at least a x4 on a few of them. If HA are suffering, how the hell is heavier cav going to survive?

It doesn't. I went on my champ charger, with thick coat of plates for 1 round and lost around 6k gold. I'm thinking of re-spec'ing into an archer or something for a while untill the upkeep is fixed.

That's because your setup is about 25k gold.

that's because you aren't cavalry, stupid archers whining about losing money when they equip bodkins, bull! if you have a longbow, and 2 stacks of bodkins, you only have 22k or so on equipment, and don't say your armor costs a lot! cuz it doesn't!!! cav is losing money, archers aren't!

Arrows act as twice the upkeep as normal. Two bodkins is about a courser 20k+

still, you can make a lot of money when you take the most expensive bow and arrows, even with 1 stack of arrows and a langes messer

only 35k

A courser is two bodkins, a heavy lance is a rus bow, and wear light armour as well and you are good to go.

But I see your point. I personally can make a wee bit of money with bodkins, I just usually use normal arrows for the increase in ammunition (54 instead of 34) and have done so since the slot system first came out.

I am unsure what to think of the new upkeep system, as making gen 1 alts and leveling them to 30 I can sustain up to 41k of gear(gen 1 so no looms to inflate cost) yet a bunch of people on the forums claim they lose money after just 21k. Maybe I get the valour thing far more often then normal, but it only comes only half the time when I lose.

i get your point too, but the point is(lol) that if you are an archer and you take that equipment you have the best possible, if you have 31k as cav, you are almost seen as a freaking peasent and you can't do a lot of damage(ofc there are people who can, but most can't)
