Upkeep on the up and up?

[Cecil]

This is not a complaint or a "new" way to do things post.  Quite the opposite.  I have only one question/problem (more of a concern ) with the upkeep system...

Is the upkeep system on the up and up?

The reason I ask is because I've seen the patch notes and saw that items have a 4% chance to get damaged.  But for some reason, every round, something gets damaged. At least one mind you... most of the time it's 2 or 3 items.  It doesn't seem right to me (then again, what do I know. lol )

So what do I want?  Well, besides to have millions of dollars and 10 hot females that will to do anything (yes I mean anything)....
I'm just asking chadz or whoever else has help developed this mod to just double check to make sure that the system is working as intended.

I think it's because each item has a 4% chance to get damaged each round, so if you're using all 8 item slots then you're going to have a higher chance one of them will be damaged.

If you're completely naked and you only run around with 1 item then you're only going to have a 4% chance of having to pay a repair bill that round.

I'm fine with the upkeep system currently. At least, this is from someone who doesn't use plate armor, or horses, or anything really expensive.

So then I guess another question would be:  Is it 4% per item stacked or is it individually calculated.  if its stacked then it's 24% (with all slots used)  but if it's not then it's still only a 4% chance....

[OzyTheSage]

Each individual item has a 4% chance I think.
When a round ends you have a 4% chance your helmet breaks, a 4% chance your armor breaks, a 4% chance your boots break, and so forth. Sometimes you will find that more than one of your items breaks at the same time.

It's 4% x T

Were T = minutes passed during whole round, say 5 min passed:

It's 4% x 5 = 20% chance per item.

[OzyTheSage]

It's 4% x T

Were T = minutes passed during whole round, say 5 min passed:

It's 4% x 5 = 20% chance per item.

So, if you finish a match quickly you have a smaller chance of paying upkeep, interesting. The problem is... you have to finish the match quickly =p

And you gain less gold, so you're more or less the same in the end.

[LordSnow]

so 20% is TOO HIGH

If this is true, then it seems my concerns in the OP are unfounded.  Can some1 confirm this?

Yep, he is right. But there are different % chances for winning and losing team, dont have the numbers right now, check the v.201 changelog

[Beleidiger]

I am Confused now is it each Round or each minute!

[Leiknir]

Each end of a round you will get a (minutes passed)*4% chance that something breaks

when i run around in my full gear (150k) i loose about 1-2k an hour. This seems fine, perhaps a bit on the low side.
when I run around with low-mid level gear (mail shirt,shoes,mittens and nordic fighter helmet with the same weapons) i can make 6k in an hour.

Yeah. with 40 - 50k gear i make a small amount of money overall.   With 20 - 25k gear i make a ton of money.

We're defenitely not playing the same game. I run around with 30k equipment and can hardly upkeep it.
