[Dev1070] repair system: what do you think?

[Icopico]

Hello everyone, i made this topic to talk about the repair system, which is a very important thing to fix in this game in my opinion.

Think about it: you can get to 20 in a couple days with a disciple of war/magic and you will need in no time 4-5 craft at the same lvl to carry out your own repairs by yourself.

Do you think this is balanced? It just forces people to have to deal with crafts even if they don't like to

The repair thing is really a nice thing but admit it guys : The repair NPC is just RIDICULOUS...he's just useless.

So what do you think guys? i like crafting but i'd appreciate a way to repair our gears without needing 4-5 crafts at 50, That's not fair to the people like me who don't have 30-40 hours a week to craft.

So i'm officially asking for a NPC who can repair things as normal crafters, or at least equip that doesn't decrease if durability if the lvl/class is right ( that would actually assign a meaning to the fact that you can equip just everything. )

Let me know what do you think

POST UPDATED AT JUN 03 2011:

The posts with most Thumbs up are the ones regarding the idea of getting rid of the whole system. (almost on every page)
That being said, as the "materia crafting" system information is released, crafters don't have to worry anymore about losing utility in game (look at posts of page 15 of this thread).

Approved.

Especially after LV 20 durability of the weapon decrease simply too FAST. 100%--->40% in less than 4-5 hour

No durability decrease when you match requires of armor/weapon is very GOOD.

I have all 7 of the crafting jobs that can do repairs at R34 or higher so I have a ton of time invested iin crafting. That being said I do not like the repair system.

Personally I'd like the whole system to go bye bye. its been a broken mess since alpha and it should go back to being a dumb idea that never got implemented

Totally agree.

This is a great idea! It make sense to wear the right equipment..

Better than everything you said is:
Make GLA, LNC n MRD have a full set of gear created by ARM. (with some good set effect [VIT and HP])
Same to WVR(DEX and Piety) and TAN(STR and VIT). with respectives classes and sets(effects).
then I think we can have only 2 craft classes and it'll be enough to self repairs.

"Make craft class useless = no thanks"
"Make group work useless = no thanks"
They feel really well when they can help us with repairs.
Excuse my brazilian english \o/

The repair system requires you to contact crafters to get your stuff repaired to 100%. This could be another player or yourself. You do not have to level crafting if you don't want to. In addition, you can pay an NPC to repair things to 75%, hardly useless. Also, gear damage is abysmally slow to accumulate now.

Stop complaining for the sake of complaining

I understand...but now durability decrease is simply too fast after LV 20

We don't want to transform craft class in useless class...but now simply that's not balanced..

We are talking in high ranks.... above 20-30; mainly 40+ grind...
