Heir loomed weapons break less

[owens]

I think a well made xbow should break less than your averagely made xbow

[Vibe]

no

[sF_Guardian]

No

[Cup1d]

Why less? Better weapon - more to pay.

Still think that loomed weapon must have repair bill more than standart.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

No

no

YES YES! 

[Dexxtaa]

Nope.

Makes no sense.

Say your dad gave you his car, which was his dads car. How often would it break down compared to a brand spankin' new car?

Yeah.

[Christo]

These days?

(Some) new cars are made like shit so you have to take it to the service early on, this fails, that fails. Of course this is a modern marketing example, but I get your idea.

I say nay.

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

Nope.

Makes no sense.

Say your dad gave you his car, which was his dads car. How often would it break down compared to a brand spankin' new car?

Yeah.

Well, what do you think would be the best weapon, an old used, rusty, aged, Bec de Corbin, or a completely new one? I think they should break less... (armor too... (tincan should be a possible playstyle))

[Patricia]

The simple fact that an old as fuck weapon possibly repaired several time heirloomed down the family tree actually ends up being STRONGER makes no fucking sense.

Also tincan IS a playstyle, I played an entire gen in lordly gothic plate with lordly hourglass gauntlets with armet and cased greaves with a greatmaul/MW longsword for a total of 79 body armor in 36/3 11 IF 12 PS build and in the end I actually gained about 40k gold, playing entirely exclusively in plate.

Realism should not be used in this argument because the same wear and tear argument could be used against items you've had forever but not heirloomed yet. Everything already breaks and repairs as it is.

And even if you insist on realism, you could still turn it against the argument saying: The weapon turned out to be well-made, better than your average sword, and that is why it was chosen to pass down to your heir.

All that should matter is the balance of gold repairs, not realism. So long as the reductions in break chance were not drastic, I'd personally see no problem with it.

This argument is not really realism based but gives incentives to loom the most expensive items rather than bolts. It could cause a rise in the number of loomed horses as well

[CoWorm]

I'm against anything that lowers upkeep costs. It should be the same for everyone. Bad enough that those of us who have played for abit have equipment that is better then newer players, but make us be able to wear heavier and more expensive gear as well without gold penalties?

tincan should be a possible playstyle

Seems to me that it already is, I see quite a few tincans and other very heavy armor users running around every day.

[Rebelyell]

its better weapon why not?

[CaptainQuantum]

No, I have fully heirloomed everything but my boots, and I don't think I should be running around with MW german GS and black coat of plates all the time (which in total gives 59 h 71 b and 63 l). Seriously this would be a horrible idea, I don't want to run around with so much armour all the time either, since it gets boring having so much hp and I start to spam.

[PieParadox]

No because this would be a even bigger buff to already overpowered heirlooms. If anything heirlooms should be more expensive since the heirloom is in every way better than the unheirloomed item.

Too many conflict realism viewpoints. Foe example, realistically, an old heirloom (lets say a car) from your parents would cost more maintenance than a brand new car wouldn't you think?
