The real issue is that damage taken, even without taking other factors like speed bonus, (i.e the effect of armor) is way too random with high armor values. Here's a graph as an example :

As you can see, the variance between min and max damage for a 40 damage attack is very high with high armor values. For example, the min cut damage taken with 29 armor is 10. The max cut damage taken with 72 armor is also 10. This means someone with nomad robe & leather gloves might receive as much damage as someone with 72 armor (which requires at least 2 looms to achieve, and that's if you're using milanese plate & heavy gauntlets).
Of course on average plate is much more effective than leather / mail, but because of the random element I find plate a very risky choice. It will ALWAYS slow both your movement speed and your attacks, but it won't always effectively protect you. Sometimes you may survive 8 hits, sometimes 3 will be enough.

The armor damage reduction formula should be reworked, so that damage taken is less random and much more predictible. Currently it's not worth it to get above transitional, because the additional protection isn't worth the additional weight and cost, especially since bad luck sometimes negates the extra armor. Gothic with bevor is probably the only viable 53+ armor once loomed, thanks to the significant increase to head armor.

Make real tincans slower, but add more chances to soak nonheld strikes if your body armor points is more than 70

Plate is like an Iphone.

Cheaper stuff can do pretty much the same, but it makes you feel special.

Beg to differ, no armor except the Gothic Plate with Bevor can obscure part of your screen in first person.

What part of «real tincan» you do not understand? You can have 68 body armor with overall weight 19kg. It's not a tincan weight.

You can have 69 at most without heirlooms. 68 with only 19kg would mean lordly lamellar armor with heavy gauntlets, so that's 6 looms. You can't balance the game around gen 10+ characters only (people usually loom their weapon before armor).

[Rebelyell]

Agree with thread

If its expensive why its shit???

[Moncho]

Oh i started playing around a year and a couple of months ago, got to gen 7, didnt have a single armor loomed (i had 1h, shield, and arrows).
Then I decided to stop playing so i deleted it. Now im gen 4 and have 4 loompoints, all in weapons for a change. Also, im a ragerespeccer
I had a lordly mail hauberk, but meh, back to hybrid archer so i traded it.
Btw, hope you enjoyed my headshots earlier today, tzarofQQya
