@Esoba said in Durability is depleting WAY too fast + Tanks are getting screwed!:
(...)However, I'm talking even basic copper weapons/armor(...)
'(...)One thing you should really understand is that metal weapon and metal armors are valuable, it's not like in many other games that you've played, where you just craft 1000 plate armors each day, that's not the way it works, you can maybe craft 4 of them in one day if you're really hardcore, because they require several ingots (...)'
That's how I understood what Prometheus stated in the video. The question would be, can you play and enjoy the game without metal weapons and armors as a player? May reply would be yes, in this test I didn't have a metal weapon for the first 10 days and I still don't have a metal armor. I didn't solo legendary creatures, but I could kill most normal beasts.
What I would do though is add a 'tier in the middle' where you have the uttermost basic items that you can craft 'on the fly'. Some items that you can craft in your own house, which offer slight benefits and then the full metal items which require a city membership.
