Durability changes too harsh

I just did my daily expert duty (tam tara hard)
I went in with 100% durability and came out with 65%, smooth run, no deaths
Sorry but I think this is a little too much.
And come to think of, why the hell do I lose durability anyway when I just heal people, I'm not even being hit, how does my armor need repairing.
Stupid system is stupid

they did too increase the price of the teleportation sneakly while the recent patch...

ps: i can understand that they need to add gil sink, however, the one the most affected are not the high level player, but the new player...

I didn't even do any dungeons today; just a few beast tribe quests and a boarskin took my NPC repaired gear from 100% to somewhere around 60%.. The gear I had repaired myself didn't see as much loss though. Wish I had more crafts leveled if this is how it's gonna be. >_<

I thought something was up, even with the TP reduced rates FC buff I was like "whoa, 400 credits to Quarrymill?" and I wasn't even that far away from it. Freaking SE... and yeah, like someone said earlier, only hurting new players, I remember being new and TP prices were already sappin' my gil, now they up'd it even more. Dumb move is dumb

Yea, being a relatively new player on a legacy server, I already feel like I am fighting an uphill battle for gil.
Most of the markets are locked down already, everything I try and sell gets undercut, and everything I want to buy gets bought up and re sold for a higher price.
I should really consider a transfer

It's a fantasy world and the least relating thing to ours you can find is that? Never mind the giant demon with swords slashing the entire party XD
All the same, you are using your gear's "energy" or whatever BS spin you want to put on it.

Understand that they are probably taking into account the Favorites and Token discounts now. I mean, I can Return to Gridania, and teleport to Limsa Lominsa for free. That's the whole of Eorzea crossed with nary a gil spent.

yeah, if you don't have friend for help it can be harsh
i did notice this change mostly because i'm leader of FC and i have a few new player that did joins in the last month. then i have not a lot of choice for the guild benefit recently
- reduce price for the tp
- reduce loose of durability

but i can fairly imagine how hard it is on new player all alone, my best advice (since i can't really help) it's to find a nice FC that can help

Yea fair enough, I am just blowing off steam here really.
I never had an issue with the durability before, I just think needing to repair after almost every dungeon now is a bit much.
I hope they tone it down a tad

Well, they kinda nerfed gear damage way back when people were bitching and whining about the repair costs that coil was generating.
Then they reduced the cost of repairing at an NPC
Then they added gil drops to dungeons
Then they allowed us to repair beyond 100% if we do it by hand

This is the first time the pendulum has swung back the other way with repairs though, so it might be a fair thing.

The rate of degradation does sound a bit rich though, might be something they'll adjust in the maintenance today.

yup, I am burning through my dark matter like crazy! They will probably adjust the price of that too in order to sink more gil.

This is odd. I played for several hours today (a lot more than usual) and while I did repair my gear once, I didn't notice any sort of change. I guess I don't recall when I last repaired my gear, but there didn't seem to be the kind of change people are talking about. I did 4 boarskin maps, 12 alexandrite maps, an expert roulette (Stone Vigil HM), a trial roulette (Ramuh), ST, 3 S rank hunts, 5 A rank hunts, 12 Ixali quests, and 7 daily hunts (6 sets of normal mobs and 1 FATE boss), and perhaps a few more things I may have forgotten.

Hmm, I hadn't noticed at all actually. This might prompt me to look into leveling a craft (or being more careful with other spending) so that I can keep up with the costs. I'm guessing that the daily hunt marks barely break even if you teleport to the area now?

Didn't even notice. The Gil I carry keeps going up that I don't notice the teleport rates at all.

So you expect other players to lose their dura cos they get hit and you get to walk away free without losses? Fail logic is fail.

Yea yea, Like I said to the other guy^

I haven't really noticed my gear breaking faster, but then I always repair my gear whenever I'm near a capable NPC anyway regardless of how much durability I might be missing. I didn't even notice the increased teleport cost since they're pretty trivial anyway.

I don't think new players have to worry. The rate of gear decay, cost of repairs, and teleport costs (when you factor in three favorites and a free destination) are lower than when the rest of us started at launch and us non-legacy players did just fine. There are also many more ways for fledgling adventurers to earn gil compared to what we had at launch.

At least it's not like 1.0 where your teleports were severely limited and you were forced to rely on other players to repair your gear since npcs couldn't repair gear to 100% and there was some gear they couldn't repair at all (at least while I was playing).
