I’m sure this will all be figured out in time. I hope everyone stays patient. Game balancing, especially while introducing new systems, can take ages.
I understand this, I know it’s early days but unless we speak up about our concerns, the devs will never know of there existence.
I had a read through the new armor mechanic and I’m not really convinced, I suppose we’ll see how it pans out, perhaps if the armor was in three classes and had greater bypass damage reduction, say leather-10%, Chain-20%, Plate-30%, it would justify the high price and little difference in bypass damage reduction.
