Should upgrading Gweapon result in shorter Dura time

slippermouth

In my personal opinion, Dura should not be affected by your AP, It is a joke to think of the money you pay for plat's to upgrade to a +12 or higher Gweap, only to find out that you have to repair your weapon every 20min's. No other Mmo is like this, so why should MWO be like this?
Dura SHOULD be measured by the amount of hit's that you do, Or by the amount of time you use your weapon!
It is an outrage to think that the developer's want you to spend money on repair oil's 24/7, and you can't really bot anywhere far from town because you get stuck in tele's and whatnot and by the time you get to your training spot you have to repair!
Please share your view's on this issue and tell me what you think.

mage dont need to repair weapon lol even +20 weapon

slippermouth

Mage's are of no concern then lol

Have the weapon level increase dura?

xqme

uh..botting wasn't meant to be 24/7 anyways. xD

ilikepotatos

repairing every 10 minutes is a joke they should change it especially since having to repair more often means having to rely on the bot to get back to your spot and leads to more instances of it screwing up just making the problem worse

slippermouth

Thank you for your view's, i'm assuming whoever clicked no hasn't got a repair time of under an hour,


Yes cloud.. this could solve it, if they make dura like go up by 1000 every level of upgrade you might actually get 20min's before repair lol

Botting isn't supposed to last 12min's before a repair don't you mean?

I didn't vote, but my opinion is thye need to raise dura on items or lower the repair price.  Current dura is hit dependent.  So a whip/sword/bow would lose dura more quickly than their counterparts.  There's no real fix but I think they did this to better manage people hunt longevity, and moey of course....but that's all obvious....Or a stone that replaces Pet HP for Dura Increase.


BETTER YET.......A Pet Amulet that raises all equipment's dura by a percentage or fix value.

i dont understand why people keep selling their mnemonics....they're given for a reason.

as for the voting...i clicked both..
reasoning: archers get hit less (high dodge), so they get more out of their equipment before heading back.. but warriors are tanks...and shouldn't have to repair every 10minutes b/c that isn't really tanking..if it takes 30 minutes to kill a boss.

but then again. MWO already says you can't just survive with just one set of gear.

DON'T leave a comment if you aren't goin READ What i wrote,   This is about WEAPON dura which last's 12-20min's before it break's for +13 and Up, And as for the other comment, dura goe's down by damage done.. NOT hit's landed.

ThatOneCloud

Yes.. anything to funnel dura into something else, perhaps this is even a chance for them to create another mall item..
"dura badge" exp badge in reverse, as dura would normally go down, the badges dura will go down instead.

slippermouth

.........Bump?

Blacken

Nice  Idea

Aussieyobbo

Would be nice if durability increased even a small amout for each + of grow weapon.

slippermouth

Yeah, It should really not go down at all, it is called an Upgrade.. not a downgrade!

noobie77

maybe add +10 dura for each upgrade starting +10 and above......

slippermouth

Bump until we get more dura

Harthwar

This only really effects archers, cause their dura is so crap anyway haha, But yeah I go through stacks of oil like nothing, doing zodiac runs and the like.  I do agree dura should be calculated on the amount of hits instead of the amount of dmg your doing then it would be consistant all the way through, jus increased IAS would make ur weapon break faster.
