Lifebind Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) The repair costs seem to be extremely high for the amount of credits you can earn. Currently I'm having to level an alt for money because my main's gear is red and I'm broke. Does anyone else have this same problem? It's costing me 50k credits for a full repair when my gear is red and that's only after about 10 deaths. The game is new, people just hit 50, and are wearing green gear so of course we are going to wipe some. How can you expect us to farm so much for repairs? I'm still only wearing 2 epics so I'd hate to see what the cost is going to be when fully geared. Not only do I wait on the Q to play, I now have to spend time EVERYDAY farming and doing dailies to even see the fun content that I actually want to do. Bioware, I love your game and I really want to play it but you're making things really difficult and frustrating. Please lower the repair cost or increase the amount of credits from dailies.

Tsillah Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Why are people wearing green armour? You can get orange armour all over the place that you can add mods to, so your armour is up to date for your level. Seriously, when you race through a game, I guess you never took the time to learn about what goes on in it. In my view, this problem is totally your own fault.

OtterNation Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I manage my credits, pay for my abilities, my speeder skill, etc etc and I have zero problems with credits. Learn to manage it a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does orange gear cost less to repair than greens at lvl50? He's complaining about the cost of repairs, not his inability to collect decent gear...

Lifebind Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm only wearing a green belt right now, epic boots and pants and the rest are orange mod gear. Also, I'm an Inquisitor who wears light armor. Does anyone know if repairs are different based on the gear type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafter Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I keep seeing people complain about being broke in this and I can't figure out how that's possible. Even after speeder, gear, skill, and leveling crafting I still have plenty of money left over. Repairing armor isn't a problem because by the time the armor is close to broken you will have made enough to fix it from drops and quest rewards. Basically, if you are broke it's your own fault.

Lifebind Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 seriously stop dying so often. good grief. I'm a tank, so it seems I'm dying more then others if the healer doesn't keep up (even on trash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAnaethil Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm a tank, so it seems I'm dying more then others if the healer doesn't keep up (even on trash) Idk, I've taken three tanks to 50 and never had a problem. Didn't have many deaths, and didn't really have the best healers around if any. The key is to be strategic and deliberate with what attacks to use. Knowing when to stun or when to buff can make all the difference in a battle. Also health management, stims, mods, etc are key to surviving longer if not indefinitely. Not trying to rag on you, but it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_Kitlor Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm a tank, so it seems I'm dying more then others if the healer doesn't keep up (even on trash) It's not user-error on your part? How often are these bad healers dying compared to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdanta Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am a little confused, repair cost can be steep only if you broke your gear ex. 0/200. Then your wallet will take a hit, but other then that, the repair is fine. The reason why it is fine is you get enough credits doing missions/story/finding items to sell/PvP etc. They give you credits, the only time you will ever find yourself in trouble if you do not manage your credit flow. Example is you spend all your money on leveling your crew skills, training, dying over 15 times a day, and burning your crew skill missions without doing any mission gathering/questing.

GhostNine Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 What is your current level? Are you implying that if I repair regularly that I will hit a point in the game where the repair cost spikes up like inflation?? I'm only lvl15 but I'm taking my time and learning the game.

owenthorn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 no, repair costs, as well as most things BW sells in game are way too steep, they need to lower the prices, they are insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfwich Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Don't know about OP but my repair costs have been pretty reasonable. Offtopic: Judging by the OPs signature he is definitely a Blue Mage Mental Misstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroye Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Most I've ever spent for repairs is about 2,900 credits and I'm lvl 33 tank with all up to date purple and orange gear. I make a ton of credits from selling pistols in the auction hall anyway, not like it'd hurt to spend a little more for repairs. Sometimes I even replace the gear before I even need to repair it. If you're dying a lot, it's because you're not valuing your death count enough. If anything that's sufficient reason to INCREASE the penalty.
