A startling development (the naked losers event)

[Gorath]

ffs don't bring that "WELL IN YE OLDE TIMES PPL USED TO BUILD HOUSES FROM MUD AND THROW ROCKS" in this conversation. I got caught with losing team 7 matches in a row last night and the repair bill of my modest, speed-focused gear was almost astronomical.

Working as intended.

Gorath pls stop being such a bundle of sticks.

why rant? before it could be seen as if you have to die non-stop till you get enough money to be a tank. now you have to win and to get gold transferred from strategus to keep your equipment in top state. during medieval only about 3% people could afford plate armour and top gear. massive cavalry attack are seen only on movies. so get cheaper gear and use it. if you see that you got into bad team, get with your teammates into heavier gear and try to win.
don't fancy teamwork? too bad - miloš dead 

So what you're telling me is that a Kheg bow + bodkin arrow + studded leather should set someone back 3k gold if they all break at once? This is a cheap as one can get and still be somewhat effective as an archer.

Go back to 4chan Gorath, I hear anonymous needs their gimp back 

I don't think I've seen a post by you that wasn't some tripe and unfunny Internet meme.

this aint the goddamn dark ages, this is a computer game, and it used to be a pretty fun one.

I also fail to see the reason for achieving anything in cRPG, be it LVLs or equipment. You'll eventually just have more to lose at the next reset.

If you stop breathing.  Deal?  No?  Aw.

That's ok, you're new.

Imo the repair costs are fine. Since patch i have been using medium gear (total cost around 17k) and with around 2-3 hours playtime i have earned 3k, and this is the way it should be, not being able to upkeep some expensive mail/plate etc all the time.

Just my opinion.

[Spawny]

Medium gear...

I hit 17k with just my 1h sword and huscarl shield.
Always nice to see my Masterwork Long espada eslavona costing 11.5k gold alone. Add 6.5k for a huscarl and I can use that, but I can't afford any armour.

Nice.

Bye bye

This is not medium gear, masterwork was never medium and huscarl is one of the best shield.
You will have to downgrade your equipment for something cheaper.

The problem is that this is what everyone will do in the end. 70% of people will have the same armor/weapons (there will be differences of course, but there will be many people in the same gear) 20% will be peasants to gain money, 10% will have been peasants previously to gain money and will now have nice armor/weapons for a few rounds.

The 70% will be in a happy medium where, on average, they make as much as they spend on repairs. This may have been the plan that chadz had in mind as people will now have multiple sets of gear which they change depending on the way the battles are going.
