Please get rid of repairs.

[Gramul]

It is an effective gil sink. I'm avoiding using the NPC whenever I can for repairs because it costs too much. Maybe you do moneymaking guild leves all day long, but I don't. Most of the guildleves i do are faction guildleves, which give almost no gil.

That's great for you, but it doesn't change the fact that making money in this game is basically the easiest thing in the world. You can make back what you spend on repairs in under an hour.

You know what was a good deterrent to death? Experience loss. With this system, I can just strip when exploring dangerous areas and only suffer damage to the stick sword I picked up from an early quest.

I'd prefer they either drop the repair system altogether and concentrate on something that makes me legit fear death and doesn't get in the way of the gameflow.

Experience loss yes. The same % as FFXI, no.

Id probably be 48 lancer after that last pickup moogle party I had lol.

Yeah, what was that, 10 percent? Something crazy high.

[yaten]

I don't know about you, but to me that's a lot of time to dedicate to earning gil for repairs. Maybe for someone rich like you it's not much of a factor, but for me it's a significant cost and I avoid it via player repairs whenever possible.

Except the first time, you're usually fighting through dangerous areas, not exploring them. So you fight naked to save repair costs?

And while death is by far the biggest contributor to gear damage, weapons wear as you use them and armor wears as you get hit. You'll need repairs eventually even if you bend over backwards to avoid the death penalty.

I see your points, and as valid as they are, I still prefer an XP loss system. It just happens and I can fix it without having to run to a city or outpost, calling up a friend to meet up with me, or hoping that someone nearby can fix it. It doesn't get in the way of gameplay and interrupt the flow. I just think there are better ways to punish the player for death...or continual gameplay.

I'm not any fan of repairs really, but I will pass on EXP loss. Spending some gil, even if it's a noticeable amount, doesn't carry the same feeling of work being undone as EXP loss.

[Eard]

sorry, but thats just stupid.

item durability make you leave a game? aha..h

and i think nobody would think like that what you are mentioning in the end.. seriously..


on the other hand i think its ridiculous that you just can sell items at 100% durability

what? do you know how fast equipments lose durability before they made the changes? you mean you love having to repair your equipments every.****ing.single.time you're out in the field for 30mins? and having to lvl so many crafts just to repair something?


and what's up with your last sentence?

[Eliseus]

I agree, we need to increase the drop rate
