Repairs

[Lemon]

Just curious - do we think repairs are really necessary? I think we're so late into the life of this mod that if someone wants to use plate they can probably afford it, and the repair costs are only there to keep new players from easily catching up. Big thanks to Bugnir for donating 50k to my newest recruit Knowledge_Boy, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to even use the gear he bought with the 20k you start with!

Do we as a community still think we really need repairs?

My vote is no.

Maybe give new players a higher starting amount. Or get rid of repairs for players under gen 3-5.

There were actually several new players on NA last night. Either that or really old crpg players that are senile and have forgotten the website and how to buy gear...

revert to level 31 retirement

no repair costs will probably result in a lot more armored horses and crap like that though.  Go for it though I wouldn't mind carrying spikes for free.

Why not build a big patch/fix strat and reset everything so everyone is =

I thought that was the policy, is it not?

Might as well play native then as everyone is =. How long do you think people will stay = in crpg if that is what you are looking for?

Repairs are life. Each time your heavy gauntlets get repaired, you feel it up your ass. That is what makes it precious.

lol the reason i brought it up is because I have 3 irl friends who i've got to start playing... so we do have new players.

Plus, it's better to make policies that favor new players NOW, before they come, rather than after they leave because they can't even afford to use the gear they bought with the money they started with. And Asheram, c-rpg will never have full equality due to the meta/builds/levelling etc, so why add another paywall for new players? A vet in full looms and plate is gonna rape a noob 99% of the time, so why not let the noob at least have decent gear?

If we want to see the mod survive, we need to make things friendly for new players, or else we will never retain them. There' are reasons the mod died in the first place, and it's more than OKAM.

My post was a response to Novamere who wants to wipe everything so all are =, but how long til the ones who have more time to play make it unequal again.
I have no problem giving new players stuff I even suggested to give everyone a top lvl char with full mw gear. I just want to work mine to get him to that point someday maybe and not have him wiped and waste the 300 million xp that I have already ground out, I still have 350 more million xp to get him to lvl 38.

Increase repairs. I still make money spamming cav. Money management was an interesting part of the game.

I agree increase repairs for anything in the top 50% of cost for its class.  This would be the best.

Repairs are costly though. My felt cap rips all the time and it costs a whole gold to repair it. Fucking sucks mang.

Seriously though, I can go plate (not that I do on most of my chars) and make money. I do have a couple alts that are cav that can break even or slightly lose money but that's only when there's a bad streak of repairs. If its normal even those will make gold.. at least a little bit anyway.

So yeah repairs need to be looked at and adjusted or just removed. I know they were there to stop people from using plate and the heavy cav all the time but no one cares at this point anymore since most people have millions of gold or at least enough to keep it going through a x1 streak with bad repair bills.
