This is just a question/suggestion: Is there any chance that the amount of learning you get from hand worn armor can be upped? Currently in DR the amount of setups that allow for someone to effectively learn three armors is pretty limited and make wearing 'full armor' (arms, chest, abdomen, legs) not feasible. In an effort to make more set ups work I was thinking maybe this could be glanced at?

After an hour of testing, wearing a field plate (HP) and an Brig Helm and Chain Gloves, with similar esq ranks I was 34/34 HP, 30/34 LP and 1/34 Chain.

Kodius had mentioned he didn't want you to be able to just interchange a single piece of armor to train it. He's been setting it up so you need to use more armor pieces to be able to train it.

Basically, people have been using armors to build tdps for years and really little else. He doesn't really want that to be the case, so he's been trying to make training armors require more investment than just changing out your gloves or helm or greaves.

I dont disagree, but it just seems odd to me. There arnt a whole lot of skills in armor skill set even with the addition of defending and now endurance(at some point) so training secondary, and tert armors are one of the few ways to milk that skill set for tdps. I guess its more of a issue with how the skills are split up, where as weapons each are moving to fulfilling roles, armor is more of a situation where you go up a scale for more protection but more hindrance.

It be nice if the armor types (light, chain, brig, hp) remained but the skills were instead changed to Armor Maneuverability, Protection, Deflection, etc.

Anyhow thats going into the weeds. I dont think theres gonna be any major changes soon.

Sincerely put, your over enthusiastic approach makes people ignore you even without the button. It makes your posts tedious to read because they are diluted and repeated to nausea across every topic in every thread, and you make the same point, usually by rambling.

It would be a great to EVERYONE if you would simply pick one place, and make a single concise SINGLE post on the topic at hand. Think about it a few minutes before posting.

Seriously, your posts are too diffuse. They lack meaning because one can see it and assume one will read the same thing in 40 other topics not related to it.



Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

I don't like to use this for the simple fact I'd miss some gems that are worth reading. But as others said I've started just skipping past your posts/threads because once I've read one, then I've read them all.

Noted. I suspect some years in other game forums competing with thousands of other posters to get a word in has made me a bit predisposed to taking a shot gun approach. I'll try to be more conscious of it.
