As our universe expands with more and more users, a clothing system that allowed garments to be produced with low condition and have no noticeable difference to garments of high condition, would be an imbalance that would only get bigger the longer it remained. The solution was to allow clothing to deteriorate when used, as they do in reality.

I have Nothing about clothes or armor decaying, im just against the Equiping tax.. if i want to try out a specific combination then im punished for that . well i guess i stay in my Vigi forever now and dont bother repairing/take of clothes.


A: Dont tax removal/put on armor.
B: Decay Clothes over time instead.
C: If you own shins give the footguard for free.

Amongst other things participants will be able to apply different materials like wool, leather and latex to customizable garments. This will allow talented tailors to compete in a free market with unique high quality clothing.

a future in store for Eto now too

Very unprofessional MA!!

Still as stupid as before imho.

I still say , NO to the 2pec clothes and armor money!


The explenation has some meaning now ok I get it , for armors still no way , not acceptable.

I will try to do an effort on the clothes mather. I am willing to accept this but only if :

TT (like Alice said) on clothes is reduced imensly.

Why ?

Well cause if my piece of cloth is at 100% repair with a tt of 140 ped , and I would like it to look washed off like with jeans or so , I would have to equip and unequip it for hours to get that look.

On the other hand it is just not fair that we who bought clothes now have to pay enourmous sums to just get our clothes to look a bit good. For me personally that is going to be well over 150 ped and I don't want that sorry.

I bought them especially because of their low tt and now yuo want my ped to repair them for that amount?

Clothes with a max of 10 ped tt is what I sugest , nomather what it is , the markups will remain the same anyway due to materials needed to craft.

now to compensate lower tt of clothes for the tailorers, implementation of more residue or wool tread it is I think a good solution so they don't start loosing even more because of the tt.

Coming up with a new and nearly plausible explanation is no justification for this new fee. Don't play the shell game, respond to your customers!

Please consider my complaint about this fee registered as support case #120378 as unresolved.

In the same support case, please reread the comments about "Jumping the Shark". I think you missed it.

Please explain how this fee will reduce lag as described in the VU announcement. As a professional network administrator, I fail to see how this financial policy will alter the server farm capacity, bandwidth utilization, or anything else related to the physics (not physx) of MMORPG gameplay.

Are you familiar with the term "jumping the shark"? This change almost has me seeing MA at the poing of juming the shark. I am considering leaving the game over this and the continuous CTDs happening with 9.0.

I no longer feel I am getting my moneys worth from this game. Please do what you can to return planet Calypso to the place of fun-time robot and monster slaying that built your fan base.

ARGH!

more false information. the link isnt even real (goes to community dev blog, last entry 30 Aug). how does this "explaination" fit with the charge for armour? the lies annoy me more than the act. and the lie is the worst of all, "jam tomorrow".

If you had told us the real reason, upfront, then half the outrage wouldnt have existed. the other half would have gone by not imposing it at all.

[sob]

i dont really care to much about the extra decay since cost its only going to be equal to one or two missed shots a day. IF it reduces lag i might even save some pecs.

however... the way MA handled the situation (a pattern we have all seen for quite a while) is very unprofessional if you ask me. when they made the clarifications regarding the banks i asked... what would be next.
and the fact that i had to spend over 400 peds to repair a small amount of my clothes
i really hope future inprovements of the tailoring profession makes up for this.

what really bugs me is all the foot guards and plates i need to get to complete my armor sets (6 plates and 19 foot guards) it will cost me thousands of peds and alot of time to collect them.

i really think they should give us a pair of foot guards for every full set that we have!

it makes absolutely no sense to introduce equip decay to reduce lag when you add more armor parts! (unless you want more money of course)

MA have to stop lieing to us and stop giving stupid expliation that obviously holds no ground! we are not stupid
