[Dev1070] repair system: what do you think?

[Zanfire]

the only decently high craft i have is goldsmith and even i dont want accessory's to degrade...its a huge fricken pain...seriously at the minimal id like it to be removed from them.

In general though, as someone who doesnt always like to craft much, it feels like a giant burden going through 10+ pieces of gear, having to take them off, bazaar them and wait for multiple different crafters to walk by and fix them, or spend my time shouting for them. The repair NPCs should fix them full for not such a ridiculous price and crafter fixes should be meant for on the go. Not only that but it should be a simple thing, i dont want to go through the already semi clunky menus to take off every piece, then seek repairs and set rewards.

Yea i do like WoW's repair system a little more, only having the main pieces of gear and weapons/shields lose durability... having rings and necklaces lose it is a bit annoying... taking all the gear off to repair it and putting it all back on again takes quite some time...

like when I go out mining and my armor degrades, I'll take a good few hours of mining to then head back to town to repair my armor. I really don't want to mine in my undies.

i have been leveling crafts only for the simple fact of repairing my equipment.. it sucks, i want to play the game, not sit in a room all day leveling 5 crafts just so i can level my one DOW class. Personally the only classes i would like to level is Alchemy and Goldsmith, but am forced to level up others crafts for repair... Lets face it, trying to find people to reapair your stuff sucks, especially since the equipment degrades way to fast.

My suggestion to SE would be to Lower the degradation on everything by half, and make crafting MORE FUN!

you realize theyve halved it like 3 times now right?

lol, apparently thats not enough?

i guess not
having to repair every few weeks is still too much for some people

let us remember the daily or hourly repairs we used to have at launch

for me its daily right now, i finish a few leves and its already at about 50%.. maybe its because im soloing , but its still too fast.. lets not forget to mention equipment degradation while crafting ><

sadly yes, its just too fast still.. Hopefully SE just lowers the repair NPC price to a reasonable sum..

If weapons didn't degrade so freakin fast, I'd be for the repair system. It's nice to pocket some extra change as a crafter when you see someone looking for repairs. The icon system could let you know if a repair is capable of being attempted by you. Other than that nice perk for crafters, I think the repair system is arbitrary and unneeded.
