Let us FIX gear to over 100%!

[Seif]

God I hate gear damage.
It's like playing an FF game with a pt member constantly poisoned to some degree. FF games have let me revel in my OCD perfection (constant saves 99tents phoenix downs everything on my party at all times etc.) until gear damage came along.

I wish gear could be repaired to over 100% so you could play a while knowing that ALL your gear is in top condition and it's going to take a while before the negative statuses kick in.

Let me pay a little extra or use more materia to fix my gear to 500% please?

Also I'd like to know what others think it's a foreign thought that somebody would actually like gear damage of any kind...

buy 5 of the same equip then your problem is sloved.

But surely 100% is 100%, if 100% is 500% then 100% is only 20% and so repairing to 100% would still be 100% and 100% would be heavy gear damage. If something is repaired then it is repaired.

Maybe to like 125%.
Have it so the higher the crafter's rank, the better chance he has of over repairing something.

Doesnt reduced stats for gear not happen until below 30% damage(yellow gear damage)? If so I think the system is rather fine as is. What I would like is for each craft to make repair kits that you use on yourself like an item that fixes your gear in that craft. Such as weaver make an "Emergency Stitching Kit". You could then buy these and take them with you and use them when you need them without having to be slowed down with needing to get repairs every so often. If you want to take this a step farther maybe have this kit only last a set time like it will hold you at 100% for an hour before degrading and returning it to its former damaged state. So you would still need to get a crafter to repair but it offers a temporary solution so you can finsih whatever you want to do. And if you want to you can you use this kit at 100% and your gear wont start degrading for an hour.

Love it

100% is max. You can't go over 100%. It's against mathematic laws

so say we have 10 people on one server one year, then 40 people the next year. What is the percentage increase, it's 400%

On topic! People are always going to be annoyed with any kind of death penalty, I bet people on FFXI bitched that EXP loss was too high. My personal opinion would be to lower it slightly, or do a staggered % loss (10% then 7% then 5% etc), but that's just my two cents.

I think it would be nice if there was a 'propper' place to sit with your gear waiting to be mended, for example the Menders' row in market wards (which I think used to be for repair mats?) could be used. I have had my bow up for 3 days with no repair (a few hours each day that is).

What a useless post, this is actually my first post ever made on these forums.. Talk sbout garbage

[Takelow]

I disagree with you OP.
My opinion is that 100% must be reserved for crafters, as done in the current system.
As true classes, Crafters must keep some sense in this game, and repairs is one of the things that give sense to them.

It is crazy how some people consider the game only through their own experience, and not as a whole...

Bingo.

You've just summed up the attitude of a huge portion of forum posters... everywhere.

It boggles the mind to me how you'll see people say something is broken and needs fixing.. Others come along and explain that, no, it's not broken, it works... and proceed to explain how it's working just fine for them. Instead of saying "Okay, well let me give that a try and see how it works", many of them will just continue with "Nope. It doesn't work. It's broken and needs to be fixed".

In short: "I don't want to have to adapt to change or learn something new. I don't want to step out of my comfort zone. I want to continue doing what I'm already doing, and have the game change to suit me. And if the game isn't changed to suit me, then that proves that the devs are clueless and don't listen to their players"

I've seen this mentality pervade the attitude of a lot of people... in every MMO I've played. I don't think it'll ever change.

Sad.

Run into this all the time. When you give a perfectly good case on how the system is working properly, and that it's just not being used properly you get this "Stop White Knighting"

But, what can you do, right? People gonna complain

I am all for the repair system. Enjoy it very much. Keeps things social. Keeps people using the proper gear. Keeps crafters crafting. Am curious what the Materia System will bring before I vote for 100%+
repairs.
