Give gold per day bonus with retirement

[Kafein]

To balance things out and make the upkeep less of an hard and harsh cap on equipment, this is a suggestion :


- Each generation gives a character 1000 gold PER DAY


This helps casual players, because they don't play often so 1000 gold per day means a few rounds in better equipment for them. But it won't affect hardcore players. Even at gen 10, 10000 gold are fast diluted into the cash flow created by upkeep and gain of a day.

It could be good with lower values too, or a slower than linear progression like ("gold with gen x" = "gold with gen (x-1)" + 1000 - 2 * sqrt("gold with gen (x-1)")

Code: [Select]

gen 1 : 1000 gold
gen 2 : 1936 gold
gen 3 : 2848 gold
gen 4 : 3741 gold
gen 5 : 4619 gold
gen 6 : 5483 gold
gen 7 : 6335 gold
gen 8 : 7176 gold
gen 9 : 8006 gold
gen 10 : 8828 gold

Upkeep is fine. Stop trying to circumvent it.

Social security isn't sustainable in real life.  What makes you think it will work here?

[Morieff]

No way. I've earn too much gold since .200 patch.

[Whalen207]

That's because you probably run around in a wedding dress and throw rocks at people.

I have 23k cost equipement, i've made about 130k gold.

cool idea! I will retire three chars and come back in two years and whack your asses in plate and flamberge!

seriously, why do you think its harsh and need to be balanced out? Yeah sure, if you only play casual you won't have the money very fast to use high tier equipment. But for every playstyle and built there is, you can choose an adequate equipment set so you won't lose money (but earn some) and should get along very fine. And like every other player after some good rounds you can even consider buying/using some better equip. what do you want more?

btw, how does a "casual player" retire these days anyway? (with bonus of course) For my sensation I played very hardcore since the patch came out and i'm still nowhere near lvl 31. What I call a casual player would take months to get to lvl 31. And if you get there you shouldn't have money problems so this idea is really screwed, sorry.

That was the intention of upkeep.

Think for a second before trolling please everyone, 1000 gold per day means nearly nothing. People won't come back in plate with that. This was intended to allow some diversity. As you probably noticed if you played lately, less and less different armors are seen on the battlefield, only a few are cost efficient, and any armor above 10k make your money melt like snow in summer. Higher gen char could use slightly better equipment otherwise useless.

BUT I CAN'T USE MY FULL PLATE, FLAMBERGE, SNIPER XBOW AND PLATED CHARGER ANYMORE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Calm down... Did you ever saw me playing, and what gear I used prepatch ? No ?

So I suggest you stop trolling

That was the intention of upkeep.

So what about removing all these unsustainable equipment ? Their sole purpose is to make some people that leeched some money to go berserk during a few rounds and kill everyone ? Yay !

I have 23k cost equipement, i've made about 130k gold.

Very nice, and then ?
