Leveling impossible after update - Page 4

Silver_Hawk4 · 07-20-2008, 04:30 AM

I like the suggestion of upping the Durability (perhaps a certain 20%) on Warrior gear. Other classes whose repair bills are considerably low won't get off tooo cheap...Since they do fight toe to toe it makes sense that their gear would be WAY more durable than say.......a Robe that's barely hit.....

And yes, mostly i like to level my knight on my own without a group just to chill out. And no level 4 knight has a conju with him.

Yes, its a point I realized months ago:

The ranged classes are dominant, in everything

Yes, it pretty much makes good sense. A warriors equipment is, supposedly, involved in much more close combat and is therefore better suited and it seems only natural if it should be a lot more durable (it's metal, damn it!).

On the other hand, a mages tunic is made of textile/fabric, and could more easily get tattered and the staff is not seldom made of wood (not that durable, imho).

Another solution that would be really nice - although it needs a lot more work - would be that knights could be part of a military order in their realm (and of course their gear, or at least their shield, should wear the sign of that order). This order could then pay knights for their "noble" deeds (i.e. knights gain a lot of extra gold when killing a realm enemy).

This would only help high level knights. And with the cost/reward relation like now there will be no more high level knights. Gold will run out much earlier.

True. Either my suggestion was a bad one, or it has to be modified a lot. Perhaps killing anything should reward knights with more gold, not just realm enemies. The downside of this is that the combo conju+knight w/o armour would mean a lot of income and low expenses.

It might be better that NGD introduce lower repair costs for knights, and perhaps those lower costs could be justified by the presence of an order who pays 80% of your repair costs (or whatever percentage seems resonable)? But there's a risk that all other classes lend their damaged equipment to a knight who does the repairs at a lower cost. That leaves us with two options, right? 1: Knight gear is more durable. 2: Knight gear is cheaper to repair (the order pays xx% of the repair cost to any blacksmith who repair items with their logo, perhaps?).

i noticed the same thing.....it is because the quests stop aafter lv 40

UmarilsStillHere · 08-02-2008, 01:04 PM

starting to only buy new weps ever 2 lvls and armour ever 3-4 and use whatever i can from the clan armoury

Update:

I continued leveling though the reward is as low. I dind't sell loot with boni but therefor also didn't buy any weapons or armor. I made half of my 3 levels in groups. But nevertheless, I have around the same money as three levels before. Without having many items to choose from from other clan members I would have had to buy some stuff. This would have resulted in way lesser money. I would be bancrupcy when buing a level 50 equipment for my graduation.
So in the end leveling a knight without a clan or other chars to make donations isn't possible.

My money is plummeting like a brick since the update. I'm down 300,000 already.

And i do shoot a good 3 dozen or so mobs a day. Before that was plenty to keep my gold total slowly climbing. Not any more- now i'm hemorrhaging money.

Meh.. IMO, the knight class is flawed in so many ways I stopped playing my character, and took a small break from Regnum all together.
-Attack sucks sooo bad. I know they're not supposed to be very strong, but a barbarian of my same lvl and setup gives damage as much as 3 or 4 times as I do :/
-Blocks, which are knights only strength, is very much luck based. Sometimes I block well, sometimes I don't at all.
-Most of the spell tree is flawed and useless IMO.
-Cash problem which will become more and more of a problem as I lvl up.
-Lvling up is sooo freaking slow. I want to spend my game enjoying the game, not doing chores.
And I'm not counting on NGD to fix the situation, things only went downhill since I started playing with my knight.
So when I start playing back, I will probably play with anything but melee. I could choose a barb, but then they also suffer of the same cash problem (although to a lesser extent). Although I don't know which ranged class to play with :/ Guess I will try them all
