[Dev1070] repair system: what do you think?

[TheVedis]

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 ><

when i solo i still dont gotta repair that often

are you using level appropriate gear or are you one of those types wearing endgame stuff in your teens?

Yep, i repaired my silver scepter, did ONE leve -> 90% durability... and after other 3... 62% ( all this in less than 2 hours )

I don't know if this system was supposed to be a Gil Sink or what...but there are better ways to do gil sinks without compromising the attributes of players...

ive explained this in other threads

certain gear(usualy ones that are "low durability" will break rather quickly
wands/scepters/staves are among these


we are still using the same exact repair values from launch, the difference is they go down slower, but when they had very little to begin with, itl still go down quick(that 90% now was 20-30% at launch)

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