Uhm. Because cRPG became more and more grossly unfair for new players.
Levels, skill, looms, all made it extremely hard to start out pre-patch. Much more so than us vets ever had to endure.. Afaik those looms they get are OK, but not fantastic weapons and armors. And they can't select what they want either. They get 1 armor and 3 weapons, one 1h, one pole, and 1 2h. And I think they are untradable too.
So plenty of motivation to keep grinding. Or would you rather it would be that devs stole looms and levels from old players?
thats what i said from the beginning, and all i got was "qq more" and "learn to play" blah blah, i had beefs with people when i used to get my ass kicked and respond "just wait till i get MY looms"
i got my ass fucking handed to me for months until i got just 2 armor items and a weapon...and the people that used to talk shit to me when i went on about how unfair the game was, started talking shit to me cuz i started whooping their asses
when ii finally got all my armor loomed and my weapon loomed i stared hitting the top of the board, and have been there ever since. because i was dedicated.
crpg will never be fair, but to give new players THAT BIG of a pass....one or two items i would have been fine with
but hands, body, head armor and a weapon +3? AT THE BEGINNING?
fuck that, new players dont deserve to be victims, ill give u that...but giving them the same gear it took me 2 years to get, the beginning of which was sheer hell, thats pretty irritating, i worked hard to get were i am.
also pretty much makes every guide and "come to crpg! \ what is crpg?" vid pointless now, the aspect of starting out as a peasant and working your way up to being a champion is completely destroyed with this idea to give new players the same items veteran players have.
