Another mad idea late at night. Base weapon upkeep on popularity!

[Espu]

Everyone: Y u no have  anything sensible to say??

I like the idea. Dynamicismium!

[Chagan_Arslan]

i have an interesting spin to Thomek idea !

make upkeep based on popularity of a player! so that new/casual players would pay less and hardcore grinders would pay more

base upkeep * player popularity = win

[Mlekce]

Now that i have awsome items everyone want to nerf them and make it unusable. What about new players? Rich will use Op weapons all the time,i mean like they give a fuck about upkeep,but new players and poorer would be even easier to kill. I would not give a fuck about it because i will retire forever and sell looms so with 600k i can use whatever i want for few generations. Your idea is mega shit,so don't post again crap like this.

[Beauchamp]

there is something good in the suggestion, the most OPed weapons would balance all by themselves in terms of cost without devs needing to set up anything. i really like it.

[Berserkadin]

Sounds like a fun idea, and I dont care since I'm no kuyak wearing danish GS my old friend.

Yeah! I really love this. Not biased since I use a lot of weapons very few others use!

[BlindGuy]

More like, no one has any counterarguments at all.

This could at least be a factor in weapon pricing. It would smooth out current balance issues an op weapons.

Im ALL for this. Have fun paying over nine thousand a round for spamtana. As for black hood, and llamelar, have fun paying for them too.

[Thomek]

I don't mind if I were to pay more for my katana.

This would in a subtle way create slightly more variation that's all. Rewarding those that use rarely used weapons and armor.

Or do you really think the prices for weapons are perfect as set by the devs? What we have now is fixed prices set by the devs..

Are the set prices perfect?
No.

Do fixed prices lead to minmaxers looking equal in Kujaks and Danish Greadswords, optimal archers, optimal cav?
Yes.

This would create a dynamic auto-adjustment of prices. I don't think it should be just RAW "supply and demand" creating new prices, but rather the pretended "supply and demand" would be a FACTOR in the new prices.

This factor someone else than me would know better how to decide.

+1 to this, and ofc some clan can just burst prices on some items, to make bad for real users of this items.

This along with diablo 3 an war of the roses comming out soon might kill the big servers reducing it to 64 slot servers   

[Rainbow]

I actually like this idea.  Nobody wears the gear I wear. 

[Diomedes]

I like the idea.  If the devs balance it right, most items should remain largely unaffected.  Those that will be affected are the more boring ones anyhow: Kuyaks, Danish longswords, Italian Swords, some bows, some arrows, steel bolts, long spears, katana, huscarl shields.

I'd be happy if folks used these items less often, or just branched out a bit more.

+1

[Kafein]

This idea makes a lot of sense and could lead to more diversity.

But it fails very seriously about one thing : Weapon categories aren't all like 2h and don't have 5196021653065161854670137095768465 identical high tier weapons.

It would seriously nerf classes that can't base their choice on what they like but rather on what is available. The heavy lance is the only decent possibility for lance cav and its upkeep would explode for no reason.

In other words, it would be fair if every class had at least 5 versions of their main weapon like 2h do with DGS, GGS, SoW, Claymore, GS and even a few cheaper ones. All these are different, but not as much as horn and rus bow (although I can't say one is really superior to the other), or lance and heavy lance.

So maybe only do this for armor ?
