Repair Cost FIX 09/12 - and Ilvl req. for Dungeons

[nimrod]

Greetings,

The development team is aware that there are times when you cannot participate in content so easily and without worry, and I’d like to let you know future countermeasures we have planned to address this.

1. Significantly reduce repair fees and the cost of dark matter
   While the focus will be placed on high-levels, we will be significantly lowering the overall fees for repair and the cost of dark matter.
   
   
2. Addition of item level requirements for high-level dungeon participation
   We'll be adding a requirement to participate in high-level dungeons and hard mode primal battles that will make it so you need to have equipment above a certain item level equipped to participate. To coincide with this, we will be implementing a system that will display the average item level for your gear in the character window.
   
   
3. Addition of a party recruitment window
   We'll be implementing a bulletin board type of system where you can recruit party members that are only on your world. When recruiting, you can indicate the dungeon you would like to do, the roles you are looking to recruit, the levels, etc. (We'll be announcing the details soon.)

We will be addressing #1 after the maintenance tomorrow, and #2 and #3 will be implemented after patch 2.1.

Or you could post the actual thread instead of Reddit.

3. A "Local World Only" option will be added to the dungeon finder. This is not a checkbox, but more of a bulletin board where parties looking for X Role of Y Level will be able to post their requests. Please hang on for more details.

Point 1 will be added after the 12th of September maintenance. Points 2 and 3 will only arrive after patch 2.1

Wow I don't think i even thought of this, sweet.

The repair cost and dark matter thing is great but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the option for us to repair each other's gear.
