Level 33 Armors

[Retaliator]

MediumArmour is clearly better than AncientArmour.
While a choice could be made between offensive and defensive stats this isn't even the case as it's a 2 DC for 1 AC trade while swapping a level 15 for a level 33 armour.

Also note RoyalRubyRobe has the same AMC and yet more AC than AncientArmour while it's also used by Archer, a ranged class which doesn't seem to make much sense as melee classes will get it even if an Assassin is a glass cannon and not a warrior they shouldn't have lower defenses than a ranged class on similar level gear.

On a more serious note since stats are just stats, being level 33+ and using a level 15 armour because it just feels like its better is pretty demoralising and humiliating as its 1 of the 2 items that actually show on your character

Demoralising and humilitating to wear med armour?
You have the element of surprise when noobs attack you. You have better stats. People will offer you money for it. Is looking pretty so important.

More annoying if anything getting to 33 and still being stuck in the same med armor. I wouldn't buff sin or any other class armor but med armor should be nerfed.

I would like a dc 0-2 or 1-1 or something on the level 33 armour... I was honestly expecting it to have a little dc

maybe we need to wait for level 40 armours to get better than medium ones :P ...

MediumArmour is a good alternative to level 22 armours IMO but moving on...

RoyalRubyRobe: AC: 3-12 / MAC: 5-7
AncientArmour: AC: 4-10 / MAC: 5-7

If you actually considered that and believe archers just purely deserve more AC than assassins...

To actually serious people I'll show you the gravity of the situation,
Many Assassins are getting to level 33 and swapping whatever armour they're wearing, including mediums for the level 33, the very same assassins are assumed to previously having swapped a quest ring with 1-3 dc or something like that(just unsure on min dc) with ac 0-2 and acc+1 for a Coral Ring...
So the choice in gear of going dc over ac they did in the past they're just undoing it by again swapping 2dc for 1 ac as opposed to what they swapped earlier except they also wear no helmet...
In other words unless you want to stack ac on an assassin rather than being a pew pew glass cannon there's no upgrades in armour since MediumArmour, I speak specifically as an Assassin as it's the class I'm playing but I'd suggest that all the level 33 armours are redone. The game is a lot different with 5 classes as opposed to the 3 we're used to and the stats on the armours are pretty random and broken as opposed to well thought and suiting each class.
I'd suggest giving the proper offensive power to assassin's armours as I see them as a glass cannons, even more destructive power to archers while lowering their defenses since they're the range class, abuse on warrior defenses and tao and wizzard should be easy to balance around that as one is a supportive class and the other is the massive AOE pwnage

Also it's come to my attention that all fate weapons possibly have the same amount of stats just changing the main offensive stat of each class if this is indeed true it's kind of ridiculous and needs as much attention as the 33 armours

Part of the problem is when you hit 33 you can't wear all of your kit if you have a 33 arm in an assassin you can't wear a helm due to body weight. I agree all arms could do with looking at as personally don't want to have to wait till 40+ before I can get a decent arm and wear my full kit.

put leather boots on to be able to wear helmet, may need to drop stone also - and if it works, give me points for being helpfull LOL

Doesnt work, even with the black quest boots.

Arm should be good the higher u go, becuz like said before they are 1 of the only 2 item that shows and i dont really fancy running around in light armour until im level 41.

The weight thing has been like this on most servers that follow the euro model and was same USA which followed newer official Korean. People have become so used to having everything right away. There's a couple of levels where you have to pay attention to this and soon enough you will be past all these niggles. Just get on with it.
Medium armour isn't that common is it? So its only a small group players who are affected.
The lucky players who have med arm are complaining that its too good/isn't pretty and don't want to wear a 33.
The unlucky players who haven't a med arm want it nerfed.
Well........

 

[Pottsy]

I have Med armour and I'll be swapping it out at 33.

I looked at the stats and 33 armour is better than Med? I don't know where your getting the fact it's worse?

Body weight has always been a factor, I couldn't wear full kit with Med armour until 21 lol...you just deal with it

 

[Retaliator]

I dont see level 33 armour as an upgrade due to my choice of stats, what's worrying is that Assasssins who've chose level 33 armour have done the opposite gear choice swapping the rings I've mentioned so...

 

[Kinneas]

I have never really understood why MediumArmour is so good anyway. From the name alone, you'd think it would be a midway point beween LightArmour at 11 and HeavyArmour at 22 (I'm talking stats, I'm aware it actually is in level requirements), but instead it vastly beats all of the 22 armours and arguably 33 armours as well.

I'd say nerf MediumArmour, but I'm sure that suggestion wouldn't go down well. But come on, it's pretty stupid if you think about it.

 

[d1craig]

The fact is its suppose to be pretty rare. Here it isn't. If it was rare this wouldn't be problem.

on a side note I was hoping the level 33 aours would my have looked the same as the 22 armours.

iv just had a look and it seems the people who are going on about med armour being better than the level 33 armour is that it looses out on 2 dc, you gain more AMC and overall more Dura from your new 33 armour.

Yeh but AC/Amc isn't worth **** on a Low rate.


If i stack full AC in BC = Still get raped
Stack full DC = Still get raped but not as much because i kill quicker.


On a low-rate server AC/AMC are redundant stats, and only DC/HP matter.

Youll take a battering and your armour wont last as long. if you plan on levelling in medium armour then your going about it all wrong :/ 33 armours withstand more of a beating.

Nevermind, zee whineys won again

yep absolute arse tbh, people like myself who have grinded to buy medium armours because I fully expected to use til 33 have been royally shafted. And this is all because somebody didn't want to look like a noob... yes I agree the stats are a bit mad compared to even heavy armour, but people like myself have adjusted their gaming strategy to accomodate this, now I've basically got 3 armours that are worth sod all.. cheers for that.
