Repairing Repairs

[WillRiker]

What are they going to do about the tanner guild quests? The argument that this destroys lore does have some merit. This destroys all of the lore built up for an entire class. There could be other lore conflicts as well, but that is what I have come across so far.

The 20, 30, and 36 tanner guild quests revolve around properly repairing items. Heck, the core of 36 guild quest is learning the recipe to repair some shoes. To paraphrase a quote from those quests... "repairing an item is just as important as being able to make an item."

It is just as important. Who says it can't be made more convenient?

I'm afraid you are mistaken my friend. it has already been decided that this can not in any way Break the Lore of this game. I mean, how could randomly turning every repair item in the game into a single fix all break the lore? It doesn't make sense.

(Now This post of mine is a Troll Post. Thought you might want an example so you can stop randomly shouting TROLL!)

I'm sure it will be worked into the lore, just like any other change.

Speaking for myself, I don't really give a rip about the lore at all. Not that many people really care about it enough.

As long as the game mechanics are solid, I don't mind broken lore since I'm not going to read it all anyway. However, some people do care, so I would want them to fix it up later, after the more important changes are done.

What could possibly drive you to play a game if you don't actually pay attention to what is going on?

[Kiote]

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but i hear this all the time and it drives me crazy. Why would you play a game if you dont care about the story? It doesnt make sense to me.

[Arcell]

I care about lore. I read all quest text and guess what, this change doesn't bother me one bit.

I'm in favor of it because it's much more easier to handle.

How many people sell their eq to the NPC rather then repair it because the material outweigh the armor?

At least now, it stabilizes the whole system, where a low level armor = low cost repair.

It was either this or lower the number of equipment that needs repairing. (which I also endorse)

It's a little fluffy since material -> gil is still makes a messy model, but alternatively you can introduce "rare repair rank" if you want to introduce some really uber equipment, but make it a pain to upkeep.

You DO realize this game is being fixed right? You understand that it has been going through significant changes, and will continue to do so in the near future. The new team came in to fix the game, and the community gave them the go ahead in the polls.

The game is still incomplete and in a pseudo-beta status. If they had to worry about the current lore each time they wanted to change something, nothing would get done.

They can fix the mechanics first, and then worry about the sugar-coating.
