Durability is awful

[Hans CakeStealer]

It's neither fun, or an interesting mechanic that adds complexity, its just annoying. In fact my legendary axe breaks after a dozen fights, that's not fun gameplay.

Agreed. I am so over durability in games.. I'm looking forward to being able to toggle it on off or get a mod to remove it if I have to.. once again adds nothing to the game.. just tedium.

I think with tweaks it could add elements of planning and preparation.
Idk, I'm personally someone who effing hates that games like Skyrim removed it. I get it, it can be simply inconvenient... But There was an element of progression and risk/reward to using your fav weapon in Morrowind for example.

Idk. I think without any durability system it just feels goofy and low consequence.

Hmm, I've barely started this game but was actually thinking to myself that the durability system seems less annoying than a lot of other games.
Seemed to go down a lot slower than, say, Valheim or Ark.

I didn't have any issues much at first either but later on it seem to get worse.

Well, I guess I'll find out.

When out exploring and running around I can easily go through 3 weapons... then plop an altar down go repair n come back......

if you are just boss farming or chest farming using altar and logging in and out to respawn chest/bosses its not an issue cause you can just go repair n come back but its a bit immersion breaking when not one but 3 of your trusty legendary weapons keep crapping out on you!

I guess it depends on how you play if this bothers you much or not too.

Look on the bright side, at least the durability system here isn't as bad as it was in Firefall.

You could only repair your hard-earned/crafted gear a limited amount of times before.. poof, it's gone. Taking up a slot in your inventory, providing no bonuses, and can't be repaired or deconstructed for materials. (I think decon was added later after 95% of the beta players left, though.. and again, implemented very poorly IIRC.)

It was that shoddy implementation of durability that killed the game, all because Red5 didn't want to listen to the beta testers. :)

If your response for something that needs repairing after approximately a dozen uses is just "repair it", then you're missing the point.

Can you imagine if you bought a hammer, started building a fence, and after about 20 feet you have to repair or buy a new one? Do you see the ridiculousness in it?

Is the hammer an an ancient type made of ancient techniques?

Because if you're comparing a modern hammer to one made in a time like the game takes place in...you're the one being ridiculous.

Ancient hammers very often broke, it took dozens of them just to build a single home.

If it's fun or not is a matter of opinion, but your example is just ludicrous.

This game is supposed to have survival challenge in it. Part of that is making and repairing items, especially tools and weapons.

You don't even have to spend resources to repair like most of them, so you're already beating the curve.

Any more and they may as well just turn on easy mode.

[Ruges]

I am just happy it does not take resources to repair.

[BANANAS]

I don't think the durability system is harsh enough. I think when a tool breaks it should be deleted. :P

[Caldrin]

just look and click the very first crafting station you make and poof everything repaired for free.

[Miqail]

current durability of gear is too frequent making it more of a chore than enjoyable game play. No I'm not using ten slots to carry weapons and tools to enjoy adventuring.

At least it isn't as insufferable as valheim's durability mechanic where you basically have to return to base to repair anything because to repair higher tier gear you need to lug your entire crafting station and station add ons with you to repair your equipment.

Or you could just carry the materials for a portal to quickly hop back to your base and repair your gear. Much easier.

In regards to enshrouded I do agree that melee weapons could use some more durability.

Durability isn’t an issue for the most part imo. It’s very easy to travel home for repairs and your inventory has enough space for a few weapons of each type easily.

By the time your stuff breaks your rested buff is also probably running low and you’ll be ready for a quick trip home anyway. Not to mention you’ll usually be nearly full on inventory by then too

palword durability is way worse but they both suck

[Cormac]

Had the boss fight in the capital yesterday. I used 2 1/2 wands in the process! Luckily I just got one before and had 3. The last piece with ice although that's not effective. It can't be that I have to have half my inventory full of weapons for such cases. A weapon shouldn't break during a boss fight! At least! After all, I can't tell him wait a minute, I have to go repair it.

Dont play the genre? It is like that in all these games. Palworld is "ThE BeSt GaMe EvER" and there is durability on even clothing. You can mod the game for single player too? Dont know what you want to hear. Its not a real issue.
