Gold is worhtless

No. Double or even triple upkeep. Soon we will be back at seeing +1 for 300k, less useless tards carrying xbows with 50+ armour, less plated goons making up for skill gaps by crutching gear, less Horsexbows on mamlukes.

that wouldnt fix anything, you would pay less for +1, +2 or +3  item but thats because you would have lot less money, so its same.

No, YOU might have less money. I will have same money. If upkeep seriously affects you at all then you are cructhing on your gear.

[gazda]

so you would try to save your money that you curently have by going around in pesant robes ?

[Leshma]

No, you wouldn't. Triple upkeep means paying 3 times as much for bodkin arrows.

[Gurnisson]

Basically my max upkeep would go from 777 to 2331. Wouldn't mind it that much, but saying that it wouldn't affect your money gain at all is just plain stupid.

[Draggon]

Made a suggestion post about fixing this here. 
See watcha think.

[BlindGuy]

No, you wouldn't. Triple upkeep means paying 3 times as much for bodkin arrows.

Why would I start using bodkin arrows?

EDIT: felt I had to clarify: When I use bow'n'arrow, I own MW arrows. Like a Bahaus. Kills you just fine all the time Leshma, bam straight thru your headband. I do like you tho, you are easy to recognise from range and are stylish to watch fighting. Then, like the prick I am, I shoot you dead.

less plated goons making up for skill gaps by crutching gear

[sarcasm]Yeah I hate those crutchers....when they help my team win I make sure to insult them and tell them they should wear rags so we lose since I hate winning. Course if they can block and actually demonstrate skill maybe they wear plate..you know to survive better....How dumb for them wanting to survive. They should only wear agreed upon by the leet non scrub community gear. [/sarcasm]

do you guys remember crpg before the upkeep patch, everyone had best armors that they wanted, wepons, horses, it was very unbalanced, and unrealistic, but it was MORE FUN, and itsnt that a core value of a game, fun, something that you do in your free time, and have great time doing it, not worrying will you be able to pay upkeep for armor you want.

fun for whom? not the new folks, i remember the treat mill, i didn't get a kill for 2 weeks when i started playing crpg(with only a few hours playing time before that in M&B nativ) I told my friends on steam like ... yeah my first kill ... i got one ... finally
well as peasent around maniac madmen in heavy gear ... no fun ... my only hope was to gear up myself and perhaps become better over time as well, both helped, but it was a long walk. So i do feel that especially for new guys the upkeep system is actually beneficiary.

[gazda]

back then, after 2 weeks of less then casual gaming, you were not pesant anymore

I very well remember playing as a peasant repeatedly (alts and retirement), and it was always fun back then. With such a gimped char, the goal wasn't winning or killing, it was surviving. That's quite refreshing in a MP game.

[B3RS3RK]

Yeah, good old times were awesome.

Also it was just extremely satisfying to get a kill as peasant Today it´s more like meh...Since if you are at least level 10 or so you can start making your first kills.

Great fun back then.

Also I remember the ENORMOUS satisfaction when having your gear together...
I was so proud when I had my Transitional Set + Steel shield, weapons and Destrier.


I used to watch myself the first seconds of the battle, admiring my beauty.

Today you can buy that Set after 1 day of hardcore or 2 Days of medium gaming.And then you have to pay upkeep for it, which kinda ruins the feeling that it´s YOURs and that you EARNED it.


Still, todays cRPG is fun and I like the fact that there are a lot less tincans and such.That´s why I think Upkeep was an okayish decision in the end.

But DO NOT under all circumstances raise the upkeep.That would kill the last bit of fun.

everything was far less stressfull, when you lost, you wouldnt mind, you would say, darn they beat us, and you would go happy to the next round, now when you loose, 100 stress elements come to your mind, fuck there goes my multi, im always on x1, useless team i need multi.
