I'm done with C-RPG unless upkeep costs change

[gdijim]

I've been playing c-rpg for about 4 months now, and it's a really enjoyable mod.  However, after certain patches, the upkeep costs for even moderate gear have become un-coverable.

I refuse to play this any longer - the devs guys merely exaggerated a problem that already existed - High level, super-long term players can run around in full plate without an issue, while people who are relatively new to the game have to run around in sub-par gear all the time.  The result is a few awesome players that get 20 and 1 KD ratios, and then the rest of us who are merely fodder.

You can call this what you will - a rant, a whine, etc.  But I refuse to play a game where I can't even play with the gear that I own consistently.

And before anyone says "Sell a loom point" - go screw - there's no reason I should have to sell a point that takes so god-awful long to accrue, simply so I can use my gear.

I'm done.

Roger that.

As melee, I have never ever had to consider upkeep when deciding what I want to wear. And my usual amount of gold is 3000, as I keep buying new stuff and then selling it to buy something else. So yeah, I think your rant is exaggerated, rather than the upkeep.

Anyhow, adios.

[Troyicide]

yeap when your gear is costing over 25k and such its harder for you to make money. If it wasn't this way it would be tin can city

[chadz]

I'll change it right away.

[gdijim]

Laff - chadz, you can be flip all you want sir - but the fact is more than a few folks feel this way. 

It's not me that's going to lose players.

[chadz]

And more than a few folks feel the otherway.
Welcome to crpg.

Upkeep is fine.

[Wookimonsta]

WHAAAAA
LOOK AT ME! I SUCK SO HARD I CANNOT UPKEEP MY ITEMS! AND WITHOUT MY ITEMS I SUCK EVEN HARDER!
WHAAAA

Fixed

[BADPLAYERold]

The total cost of all my gear is 87k and I still break even or only lose less than 5k gold a day. If anything upkeep costs are still too low.

[gdijim]

And while you're at it, take out banner balance, because that also does nothing but creates a great deal of in-equality as well.  How many nights do I log on, and stay consistently at 1X because the entire other team is some 'super-clan'

I'm trying to be constructive, but geez man - I've had it with broken gear all the time.  I'm not going to waste my time at a game where I consistently suck because I can't play enough to maintain my gear.

And it's not like I don't understand where you're coming from, being a developer myself.  It's not easy to balance.  I'm just letting you know that I feel your recent attempt at balance did nothing but screw newer people in your fine, fine mod.

I'm sorry you're bored with the compaints, but maybe you ought to have a look at them instead of getting bored.  Obviously I'm not the only one with these problems.

I ride a rouncy, use a light crossbow/bolts, and have a sword in board in chain gear.  That's hardly over-powered.

Btw - this is Release_Arrows (sorry forgot to add my in-game name)

Get a money stack pal.

Like 50-75k.

Then, laugh in the face of upkeep.

I agree about the balance part though, current balancing is retarded, banner or not.
And it's been like this since months, made me play a lot less, it seems that devs don't care about the lousy balancing method.
'Working as inteded', I guess.

So... if someone has a 20/1 score, then it's DEFINITELY because of his items, and not cause of his skill, hey ?

Has it ever occured to you, that "old" players also have more refined skills than new ones, and that it's, probably, the main reason they can top the scoreboard.

I can use a 40k gear without loosing money, and while still having good stats. (even though i'm a rambo archer who loves going into melee, just like my master, Tenne)

If one thing is wrong, it's the mentality of the market place, or how to sell one loompoint for 450k and be in heavy gear for 2 all other generations.

Upkeep is too low to deal with some very-rich-and-abusing-it-people. But at least, it's better to have a few known "banks", than just everyone in plated gear.

Not counting looms, my polearm character has an upkeep of 41 or 43K... Makes money.

You know that if you play native, due to having to earn your gear hard and slow then lose it next match... It is even harder to use mid gear or god help you high?

Thank you for your feedback, I hope your next game is more fun.
