Astralporing.1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Armor gets damaged only when you die. If you didn't die, there's nothing to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Why would one have to die to repair? Just go to a 'Repair' anvil, 'Repair' NPC, or use a Repair Canister (single-use or endless). Now, one _does_ have to be defeated to incur broken (damaged) armor that needs to be repaired.

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah, indeed. GW2 is not like some other games that have progressive degradation of gear just from it being worn in combat. If you die ("are defeated"), one piece of undamaged gear chosen at random will take one point of damage and become damaged (fully functional). If they are all already damaged, one piece chosen at random will take another point of damage and become (a) broken and (b) not functional, and © invisible on your character (it remains visible in the Hero panel). In SWTOR, gear takes damage just from being in combat (or larger chunks if you die) until it is at zero, at which point it drops from fully functional to fully non-functional. In Runes of Magic, gear takes progressive damage in the same sort of way as SWTOR, but *also* becomes progressively less effective as it degrades.

Because that was the design decision made by ANet back when they were producing the game. If you need a _lore_ reason, then part of the enchantment of enchanted armor is that it self-repairs unless catastrophically hit (i.e., you were defeated).

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 > @"paShadoWn.5723" said: > And that is exactly what I am questioning. And the answer is that if you aren't defeated / killed / etc. - call it what you like - you don't *need* to repair your armour, and indeed you *cannot*, because the act of fighting doesn't damage it. EDIT: but if you're asking why it works like that, well, because they built it that way. I'm not sure there's any actual *lore* reason for it. After all, why does the progressive degradation in SWTOR only affect the gear's strength when all the durability points are gone, compared to RoM where the armour becomes progressively weaker as it degrades? And the answer in both cases is "because they built it that way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 > @"paShadoWn.5723" said: > And that is exactly what I am questioning. Then you should change the question you posted. Because it seems you are not asking about why you cannot repair your armor unless you die (the answer for that one is simple, because until you die it's not damaged). What you seem to really want to ask is why _the armor is not getting damaged unless you die_. Which is a completely different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The same reason my cute fluffy sheep backpack increase the damage of my hits against enemies. It is purely a game mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
