Durability

[Krais]

is it just me or does durability seem really low? not breath of the wild low but not far off :D

No, it doesn't.

Because you can build a workbench just about anywhere and repair your gear. The repair bench takes next to nothing to build, and you can dismantle it for the mats back.

If it's above a certain threshold, the repair cost no mats. At all. That is ridiculously OP. If you run the durability way down, then you have to kick in extra mats to fix it. Still cheaper then making a new one. Even an item reduce to zero durability can be repaired.

Overall, I like the system.

sweet thanks, i didn't know about the free repairs, if you can just do that then why not get rid of durability altogether? seems a bit daft to cheese a mechanic like that haha

its annoying anyway repairing your gear to not loose mats bec its under 80-70% after every 3-4 fights is nuts.

starting equipment should have low durability, that is why you work hard on getting better equipment

all survival games are like this.

that's fine an all, but i'm in regal armor an have chitin tools shouldn't have to repair as much as i am but it's only my opinion, ark durability was way worse hopefully there will be mods an i can just double all durability :)

thanks for all the replies

Are they going to add the ability to craft an M1A1? How about a Mosin? An AK would be nice then, I can show these tiny creatures who's boss.

I feel the weapon durability is a bit low. I understand wood sword should be easy to destroy as its first sword but now I am using flint sword I only get 1 more bug kill before its already 2/3rds gone. To boot, repairing it requires you to traverse the map to get the mats and thus breaking it again on the way back. Flint should be dotted around the mini beaches on the rivers after you go find it first.

Could always meet in the middle and introduce equipment upgrades. Upgrade for more durability etc. Just a thought.

I find the current durability to be quite balanced. Same with the repair system.

I find it pretty easy so far. Most tools stay in the green for a full day's use so you can easily repair them for free every night but I suppose it depends how much you're grinding for resources or how much you're fighting things. If you let it drop to yellow then it costs and if red it costs more. I think it's a unique mechanic. Maybe they could add a repair kit recipe so you could bring one for emergency use to repair a weapon or tool. But you can do the same really by having the materials to make a workbench with you.

Low durability doesn't make the game harder past the first hour. After that it just becomes annoying.
It's not difficult, just tedious.

Tbh I just use wemod and only use the no durability cheat when I don't feel like repairing every 10 mins. At first it was pretty basic survival game fair but the longer you play the more you realize it's *way too low* and becomes utterly annoying. If I get into 2-3 fights my stuff is about to break. If they had a full durability system where you could upgrade an item's durability I think that would have been perfect(like valheim). That or just raise many of the values.

[Tom Merge!]

I'll raise this with team!

The need to carry around stuff for a workbench just to repair stuff feels off, it's just a unfun mechanic overall. Would kinda like the whole repair mechanic to just go away, it feels dated and adds nothing to the game more then less inventory space and/or tedious grind.

Cold is similar that you need to carry around stuff for a fire, however i can work with that since it's season based.
