Buff plate [Added poll!]

[PaulD]

I don't think the devs should necessarily change armor values, but I think that they should consider rebalancing armor weights. It kind of makes no sense that an armor that weights like double the weight of another armor only offers like 20% more defense, and almost ten times the cost.

Diminishing returns!

I understand that, I'm not saying make it so every armor has the same cost effectiveness, but right now it is kind of silly when you see heavy infantry doods just getting Light Kuyak or Byrnja instead of something heavier (even if they have the str for it) because the weight and price trade-off isn't worth it.

i find transitional to be the turning point in armor....any heavier than that right now and the weight/cost isnt worth the armor value.

i have +3 transitional ...21.9 weight, 58 body armor (23 leg armor) and think repair is like 1300 or so?  love it.

as for the full plate....kinda feel like devs dont want it to be heavily used.

[Torben]

add poll,  dude.

[KaMiKaZe_JoE]

I agree that plate armor needs a buff.

Honestly, I would prefer to see plate baddies as rare tanks on the battlefield, that inspire awe and fear in their enemies. Alas, what with the marketplace and selling of looms, it'll just be OP because everyone could tank it up.

Still, I SUPPORT A PLATE BUFF. Shits too expensive to not be useful. I mean, for fucks sake, my courser costs less and grants me retarded k/d.

[ThePoopy]

atm plate make the wearer glance cus of low wpf, more than it makes the enemy glance at you cus of high armour rate.

[cmp]

Also, you just supported another nerf. Can I please ask you to stop balancing this mod and stick to coding?

Sure, the same way I can ask you to stop playing it.

[Leshma]

Deal.

[Vibe]

I would add more weight penalty on plate, buff the armor value and decrease the upkeep. Make plate a gameplay choice, not a choice for those who have enough gold. Same for horses.

[zagibu]

You mean, so that you will have an even easier job of dealing with them? We could also make it so that you can't move in plate at all. Or that the WPF reduction is so high a plate user will glance on cloth armor with a loomed bec.

Or we could just remove it altogether. It seems to be the intention of the devs anyway. A game of leet-peasants running around with uberswords hiltslashing each other.

70+ body armor isn't enough guys give them more !

I think I read somewhere that 1h swords still damage them, this is outrageous.

cRPG.... lol

BTW for the poll I chose decrease upkeep, but I could definitely go for another armor nerf (not plate) just recently got my kuyak tier armor x3 heirloomed and it's stupid, I get 59 body armor with my x3 gloves.

Your sarcastic banter implies you haven't read any of the thread

[Elindor]

I do overall agree with balancing being done between armor value and weight, etc....and almost ignoring cost...since lets face it - item cost isn't a big deal.

So many MMO's go "oh we'll balance magic by making reagents expensive...."  LOL....just lol. 
Every economy gets over inflated.  Never balance by cost.

cRPG has done a pretty good job of this, just reiterating this point.
