idea from a noob

[serbal]

i had some nice gear not the best one but a nice set worth 35k and i had 20k gold in pocket after like 1 hour after getting lvl 26 im down at 3k left then i read on forum and see that it normal for equipement to have to be repaired as "random" but man wtf i repair my sword like every round and it cost me 500 gold while i make arround 150/250 per round...

so i decided to do as all ppl say and go with a cheap set worth less than 10k and now i cant barely make any money either, i keep getting to repair 3-4 equipement every round making my 200 gold per round gone every time, it lame

so now im back as a peasant running arround naked and with a cheap weapon that worth 300gold and getting killed every round so my team is like having 1 player less in it and has more chance to never win, that such a great game....i just dont see the point of getting gear that you cant use when getting to lvl 26

so i think all this repair thing need a revamp, here some ideas:

lower repair rate from random to if you die you have 1 item that need repair (1 ITEM MAX) and add if you tk a teamate you get 1 item more to repair per tk

another idea that i think would be the best but that cant work since this game dont use stamina is to make "basic class item" that are unbreakable so you can play whatever class you want but with noob gear on and if you got money then you can get better gear that can be breakable,

like a basic heavy armor set would weight a lot and be unbreakable but if you choose to use it, it drain stamina when running and you walk slower, the stamina ingame would make balance better too, no more ppl with 2hs that just keep swing 2 time faster than 1hs with double range,no more ppl that run forever to avoid getting close to enemy, you choose when to attack when you see a fail in enemy defence not attack always till enemy die or till you die from getting an arrow or a backstab

stamina would require a new stat/skill attribute or make it based on atletism and the higher it is, the higher the max stamina point and higher stamina regen get

that my 2 cent, feel free to flame and insult me for my spelling error as i dont speak english as first language

I think the repair is now at its best =) My gear costs 40k, my armor and hammer repair is 680g and shield 450g and my boots/gloves/helmet isn't far from those either. So it's very usual for me that my repair per round is 500-1,5k so the only time when i make money is when i have x5.

I had 65k week ago i went down with 15k and today i got it recovered to 68k xD so in the long run, you don't lose money and you gain it little by little. <--- But this happens only if you have some back up money like i had my 65k (i started the gear when i had 30k so you could say that was my backup money).

Serbal- "like a basic heavy armor set would weight a lot and be unbreakable but if you choose to use it, it drain stamina when running and you walk slower, the stamina ingame would make balance better too, no more ppl with 2hs that just keep swing 2 time faster than 1hs with double range,no more ppl that run forever to avoid getting close to enemy, you choose when to attack when you see a fail in enemy defence not attack always till enemy die or till you die from getting an arrow or a backstab"

To be honest, I like the idea of stamina as well, but they have already tried to accomplish this by showing that weight reduces your running speed and your WPF. Also, if you are an archer, you cannot wear loads of armor because it throws off your accuracy through the wpf degradation (if that's a word).

the key word is "tried"

Repaircosts are cool as they are atm, because the "constant tincan times" are gone.

Even I as an archer hardly make gold and that's how it should be. It's still possible to play in full plate for a long time, just farm some gold.
Don't know what you are doing wrong, but get a pilgrim outfit or something similar and your weapon and you will make money over money

Your weapon breaks every round ? What are you ? An archer with a side sword ?
Seriously, if you have over 100wpf in the weaps you're using, the beaking chance is reasonable. If you have 0 wpf though, it's bond to break more often.

i got 130 in 1hs so i dont think it the problem,

been thinking of a new idea tho, make the item able to be used for X round before it need repair and remove the random factor, that could work too i guess..
