Using the crpg calc pack, to retire at gen 1, it takes 74 hours and 6 minutes. (It does state that its only accurate to lvl 30 and the time I'm giving is based on an average of x2 multi).
That's 4446 minutes to retire at gen 1 with an average of x2 multi.
If you play 4 hours a day, it would take approximately 18.5 days to retire.
So for people that can roll a x5 constantly on siege/battle, this doesn't really apply especially since they're most likely multiple gens with extra xp per tick. However, getting a gen in a week seems very quick.
Add in goofing up and respecing half-way through and you can see how I have about a month and still Gen 1. Nowhere Near a week thank you.
Say I'm QQing that's fine but you're not helping your case any. I already admitted I'm a newb and that's the point isn't it?
I DID the work to get my gear I already said I did that grind. I understood that grind and put in my time twice basically (because I screwed up my build the first time and found my real play style). IF the game is designed to be a grind and require you to work 5 times longer or always be on and have a 5X multiplier or what have you that's fine. I'm just pointing out that it does NOT do well to garner newer players.
It works fine for those who have been in the game forever. Who have stash of cash or what not. I have even said that the upkeep is just fine when I'm rolling well.
What I have said is that when you're doing poorly it punishes you on top of you having done poorly in the first place. That's a double punishment for no real reason for the NEW players.
Am I asking to be rolling around in plate with a super armored horse? No. I've told you my modest set-up and obviously that must be too good for everyone to be rolling around in when doing poorly. Again my point isn't that there should be NO upkeep, my point is there should be some way to adjust it so it's not so punishing when you're doing poorly.
Finally if the mod WANTS to be a grindfest and hardcore only dedicated players that's fine. I accept that. But if you want to get newer players in here you might want to adjust the upkeep. Because obviously the upkeep isn't keep YOU guys out of what you want, it's only effecting those of us who aren't "dedicated" or multi-generational which if that's the point so be it.
Oh I have a 116 polearm WPF.
