otto.5684 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This will hurt people who are not experienced. People who are very rarely die anyway. It does not make the game any harder, just much less convenient to new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plz pick one. I suspect that removing the cost involved changing the routine in the program which calculated how much to charge by adding a X*0 at the end. I also suspect that changing the system which _applies_ the damage to armor would have been much more involved. If I'm right, it would not be the first time ANet took the easier path.

bluberblasen.9684 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 just remove armor penalty ... its useless in this game... for people who bought Endless Repair Cannister give them their money / gems back for fair trade off and change normal cannister into transmutation stones.

The gold needed to redo your gear every 3 months for balance updates is way less than the easy gold you can make in game with an hour's play every day.

maddoctor.2738 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 > At the moment I don't feel like damaging the armor means anything. It might be some RPer in me or something. But I would simply love if the blacksmiths weren't doing this for free. And the RPer in you doesn't tell you that as a master armor smith it's silly to give your damaged gear to others to repair it. You can craft a morphing armor that changes shapes when entering combat, you can craft armor that is engulfed in flames or has particle effects. But you can't repair that iron helmet that broke when an ogre bashed you in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one armorsmith in Dragon's Stand makes me shake my head every time. She's right next to the anvil, so half the time end up clicking on her, and she grouches that she's busy, do it yourself. Really? Would you talk to a high ranking officer that way and expect to not get slapped down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer this not to come back. There are also other issues where you have WvW where you are always damaged. A few silver here and there doesn't sound bad but in WvW that stacks up quickly and you make little enough. > > Armor is auto-repaired when you are in the WvW maps' spawn area. Why would I go back to spawn if the keep is closer? Your statement is correct, but so is mine. If I choose the less efficient rez at spawn then I have even further to go to return to the fight. If I rez at the keep I must repair. Hence there is already a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenedge.9675 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Once the Auto-loot mastery is unlocked, the player should auto-repair and perhaps auto-sell junk when passing close enough to an anvil. The Anvil menus are a big time-waster. Besides, when I return to the Royal Terrace, the valet should be handling those chores. ( Wishing the valet could also crack some troll noggins ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
