Armor Deterioration Changes

[Borr]

I hope the shoes and glasses stay on the avatar when equipping or removing armor in VU 9.0.2. At this moment it is 4 pec for wearing foot guards (and replacing the shoes after removing the foot guards), after VU 9.0.2 it will be 3 pec (1 for the armor, 2 for the shoes).

Decaying clothing is ok, but decay should be the same as for armor and shoes and glasses should not be removed when wearing or removing armor!


(Oh: nearly forgot about hugging Marco hope you had a good vacation, where did you go again?)

[Kirov]

As predicted, MA starts with a big tax, then rolls it back a tiny bit, and people are thanking them for listening. People are so easily manipulated.

In the future MA will convey more information about changes and upgrades before hand and have discussions about it. I will also make sure that the MA mission statement/vision will be made available in the next couple of weeks, to present how and why MA do things and what we intend to create, long-term.

Can I please have a hug before I get flamed? ,-)

Hug: Phew he rides in like a knight in shining armour (non decaying) to slay the MA Atrax. This must be the first time MA has ever reconsidered a VU element based on customer feedback. Welcome back - your input has really been missed.

Gentle glow: These changes seem to have put MA into a position of competitive disadvantage and sent a lot of players running for other games. Lots and lots of your in game advocates who like clothes, are socially skilled and have been big supporters of MA are really, really irritated by the 2 ped decay on clothes. Is this decision also being reconsidered?

It is not the armor per se, but the new ability to quickly change a lot of parts during a short time frame.

And, to make it clear - the changes comes in effect when VU 9.0.2 is released, which is expected to happen Tuesday, 16th of October.

Yeap... how about clothing decay to be something along the lines of 0.2 pec decay for every hour that the item is worn and the avatar is online?

Somebody playing 365 days a year x 10 hrs a day (talking about extreme gaming here) with 6 pieces of clothing, would have to pay 44 PEDs per year on decay, which I think is more fair than the on/off fuction.

That way you won't make the tailors' business unattractive or the clothe addicts to think twice before trying something on.

[Outman]

Can you make an option to disable armor hot keys in return for no armor decay? Also if you guys need cash this bad you should think about another LG.

If you want to encourage the use of L armour then make it better. This is just like u did before, taxing auction to make shops apear better but doing nothing to make them better.

This type of taxing is the last resort of an unimaginative mind.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

No, it will not. It is a fundamental part of the whole clothes and beauty system upgrades planned for the near future. Clothes has had a condition bar since Entropia launched and it is unfortunate that it took this long before we activated it, therefore creating a "culture" where conditions of clothes didn't really matter.

Hug? When you'll look like Angelina Jolie :P
