can armor be repaired if they are not in “damaged” condition
What I’m talking about is that, if their durability is depleted by Certain amount
Can they still be repair
oh okay
Not the fucking game tanked my performance badly
Honestly being able to repair armor before a break sounds, better honestly
chat why are there 300 messages 
i mean id hope, but i dont really see what could be more lucrative than somethin like max fleets which takes no effort 
Here’s how i’d fix Armor Durability.
Enable it for WHOLE dark sea.
Hear me out. Sure, its annoying, but it will be a new thing we need to keep track of and make it a new challange, if Vetex is dead set on keeping it. By whole dark sea, i mean:
- Water Poisoning damage should damage armor 1:1
- Atlanteans and all inhabitances damage armor with 2:1 (so 50% of damage dealt to you is dealt to armor)
Maybe decrease the galleon-durability ration to 1:2 so that they are more accessable? But idk yet, havent played.
And what i think will be a REALLY good introduction - Add armor damage to Argos, Caluvs, Allanon and Jarl, so on top of injuries we also get damaged gear, proportial to our body damage.
God damn that’s a lot of posts since that patch note was posted, understandable why. Vetex did something that literally nobody, NOBODY other than him appreciated or thinks is a good idea. 99.9% of human beings involved in AO do not like this armor break mechanic.
Lowkey the method might just be to hunt dragons until your armor is nearly broken and then off yourself
Consider that a damaged chestpiece would have a base value of 400.
400/3 is 133.3
a 100 drachma repair wouldn’t be enough, you’d need 2.
If he did this he better make the Dark Sea way more rewarding for the time spent in there. Otherwise I’d actually quit the game immediately, forever. Screw all my save slots, all the money I gave him through gamepasses, I’d be done, completely sick of this shit. That is of course a hypothetical.
next update: your armor now has a chance to either lose its enchantment or completely be destroyedif it had the ruined modifier upon death
you cannot recover it unless you consume 3x repair kits worth of its original price to rebuild it piece by piece
Oh, well there we go the built up damage at least goes away on death and server hop, that’s so much better actually. Still makes the Dark Sea even more obnoxious but that is actually a significant improvement. Still think armor breaking has like no reason to exist but at least now it’s just slightly less pervasive. Clearly he’s not going back on adding this BS though.
Vetex pls see this and add 
For once listen to non-testers.
no that’s not much better… vetex is trying to promote immersion and realism, but due to his ungrateful and toxic community he’s being forced to back it off because of constant backlash
the ideal arcane odyssey is an arcane odyssey where players get punished for challenging strong creatures they’re not yet intended to be facing, and armor built damage plus repair kits are the perfect execution of such concept
someone dying and suddenly having their armor completely repaired for free is not realistic at all and goes against what he’s trying to do for his game to further improve it
Y’know, I get that Vetex wants to make powerful creatures feel powerful, but there’s so many ways to do that without just annoying the player. If he wants to take inspiration from Elden Ring then maybe he should just make the game have better performance with tighter and better timed parrying and dodging mechanics so that he can afford to make enemies with powerful stats and movesets without it becoming unfair. Like Prime Radahn is bullshit, but he’s fun bullshit because you can eventually out skill even him (or be a loser and greatshield poke).
The main problem is that its only Marine life, animals and Dragons.
Not say Atlantaen or lvl 125 fighting a lvl 750 Thorn general.
Either make it universal, whole dark sea only, or dont add it at all.
With the addition of armor durability, repair kits and dragons being able to inflict “ruined” durability on armor.
Does that mean we can use repair kits on the Ruined Fulmenor and Ruined Sifenya to restore them to their former glory
