i will continue until i am broke. i'd liked this mod so far and i just wear gear i enjoy, but it seems i can't afford my gear anymore; i am still wondering, though... is this working as intended?

4% means 4%.

What are you complaining about? Need some money? Strip naked for one map.

Is this intended? I think neither my team nor i would have much fun, would they?

[Radix]

I wrote it in suggestions and I will write it again. Current system is based to much on LUCK, U cant rely on unstable income which is based on luck, simple as that. I've been whining about upkeep and someone told me to chnage the armour from plate to lower, so I changed freaking armor to lamear and gues what, I nearly ended up as a broke. When I was lucky enough to have x5 miltiplayer for serveral rounds I could upkeep plate with result 0 so no income but no lose. Then I spent 3k on lamear armour and was unlucky to have modifier x1 for a long time and from 9.5k I have 700 gold left. It is not about if u can or can't upkeep ur items, its all about luck. Thats why i dont like the idea, being able to upkeep something is knowing how much I earn and how much I can spend, the problem is I never earn the same amout of money so how can we even talk about upkeeping?

What are you complaining about? Need some money? Strip naked for one map.

lol, advice of the year. So u suggest to me that I will run  naked for about one hour to earn enough money to wear plates for another hour??? how does it differ from grindind now then???  I have more interesting things to do than runing naked and dying just to get some money. I dont play that much and it seems like I cant just enter for an hour have fun and log off like before...

[Hirschblte]

I think my set is medium as well and i don't even think about wearing a blade or ar helmet anymore (hope to reduce the chance), but even at medium you'll lose gold. I don't want an upkeep to support everything at max; i understand this intention; the problem is: it seems to support either a horse OR a lance, but not both. this is pretty strange.

[Dwarden]

there needs to be some small bonus based on how Your actions helps Your team

like these
+damage done (biggest bonus based on amount of total dmg delivered)
+kills (small bonus)
+objectives taken / defended (medium bonus)
+VIP killed (small bonus e.g. owner of some castle from Strategus)
+highest rank enemy killed (small bonus)

Stop losing so much?

Red tunic over mail, leather boots, mail guantlets, klappvisor, sarranid horse, lance, heater shield, nordic champ sword. 
*edit for gear total*
48459g  Gear cost total.

Over the course of around 30 maps yesterday averaging about 6 rounds per map I went from 32k to 43k.  Today I've played 3 maps so far, averaging around 6 rounds per map and have made a 2k profit so far.

Bump with 9 round data sheet.  Going out for a smoke break.

[Mala]

Thats a nasty losing streak Hirschblüte, but in the long run you should able to pay your bills, even with the long hafted blade as backup weapon.

[Gorath]

I suppose I should note that except for 3 rounds, ManOfWar_Takeda, Balboroth and I were on the same team all the time.     So that might be part of why the large winning streak was happening.

[Leshma]

As someone said, I don't mind upkeep but I woudn't mind seing it removed. Too lazy to switch gear, if there were one button to switch between gear combos maybe I wouldn't mind upkeep at all.

Also I think that all money we pay for upkeep (tax money) goes directly to chadz char so he can play as black armor tincan whenever he likes it and therefore have fun he said he didn't have before patch.
