Fuse sounds like the perfect compromise to keep durability as a mechanic while appeasing the people who hated breaking weapons. you can consistently re-fuse the base weapon to something else and keep it from breaking as is my understanding. --- http://i.imgur.com/Rqk1DYV.gif - Super Bowl XXI/XXV/XLII/XLVI Champions - NY Giants Eli Manning SB tracker: 2/2 Superbowls 2/2 SBMVP's ...

chrono625 posted... Fuse sounds like the perfect compromise to keep durability as a mechanic while appeasing the people who hated breaking weapons.My coworker has the game already. A weapon can only fuse to one item at a time. Once it's fused, it becomes a more durable weapon, but not impressively durable. And when it's close to breaking, you can undo the fuse (the 2nd item gets destroyed). It retains its status of being close to breaking. If you fuse to a different item, it will still be close to breaking. So really not much different in that department. --- Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/kid_prodigy23 ... Copied to Clipboard!

There is no benefit to it. And there is certainly no benefit to everything being as flimsy as it is. A durability system is unnecessary and unfun; at best an "its not so bad" feature, which is not the same as being good. And if you REALLY have your heart set on durability, it's possible to have one where weapons last longer than 5 bokoblins. --- Haven't had a good sig idea since 2006 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Supposedly good ones, too. Anyway, I'm almost done with Dead Island 2 which also has weapon durability but they last, you know, more than one zombie worth. And you can repair them endlessly + even upgrade them to be your current level. It's nice. Wish Nintendo listened to the justifiable complaint about the durability. Keep it in if you want, but please just raise the fucking limit.

The amount of chests I would get to with a weapon worse than everything in my inventory was awful. Getting rupees or materials to upgrade my gear were far, far better than finding copy 1902187123908 of a weapon I've already seen before. If the weapons had literally any complexity to them at all then maybe, but when the games combat is as simple as it is with only a few weapon types that ALL play the same way...it's stupid.

And there is certainly no benefit to everything being as flimsy as it is.I can kill up to Tier 3 enemies with 2 points of durability loss on weapons with over 70 points of Durability. You are grossly overblowing the "toothpick and paper-mache" argument that has never existed in the first place, and if you really, really are that upset about durability just do like the speedrunners do and use durability transfer exploits to make weapons last forever. The ONLY time Durability is a major concern is in the early game where you're equipped with Rusty weapons that. Y'know. Are literally rusted out pieces of shit. Even the Great Plateau has some rare Knight's equipment that will last several encampments against the Tier 1 and 2 enemies you find there. And hey, TotK fixed that. Blue Bokoblins drop horns that turn rusty weapons into Soldier equivalents. --- Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't. It's something we decide for ourselves. ...

Maze_ posted... I mean when the argument for it is literally "It's not THAT annoying, my weapons last AGES before breaking."It gives you an ever-changing inventory of resources to use and encourages diverse gameplay and making the best of what you have. It grants you small rewards everywhere you go and also pushes the player to engage with more of the world to restock weapons that have been lost with time. It also ties directly into the game's theme of loss and ruin, so from a both a thematic and mechanical viewpoint Durability is an important and good game mechanic. Just like how TotK's theme of rebuilding and creating something new is explored through the Fuse and Ultrahand powers. The argument that "It's not annoying" only arises when people attempt to claim that weapons break too often. Which is as you've correctly pointed out is a bad faith argument from the start. --- Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't. It's something we decide for ourselves. ...

As for durability, I've been trying a "straight to ganon" run recently, and I've gotta say, it's great for the sruvival feeling of starting BotW.........however in longer playthroughs, after a while it just feels pointless and getting new weapons just feels unrewarding when it's usually worse than the stuff you already have --- FC: 3840-6927-7945, have OR/Y/SM4SH/PSMD/S/US I'm a youtuber, here is my link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRj1lj8EWzRtw3jp3HUXCxQ? .I play games ...

Though at least with TotK, the fuse system might be a good middle ground at minimum. Elden Ring doesn't really promote using the other weapons all that well honestly. It's good in the first area then it gets worse. I used Moonveil for like 80% of the game. If I wanted to use another weapon I'd need to upgrade it to Moonveil's level in order for that to even be worth attempting. Whenever I did try and I realised the weapon sucked it felt like a waste of time and resources. Most of the time it wasn't an option as I didn't have the high enough bell or whatever and not enough resources to get it up high enough anyway. On top of that most of the weapons I collected I outright couldn't use due to my stats. It's also a different system in general. No weapon in BOTW is important.

Maze_ posted... I really can't think of any benefit to weapon durability. You're looking at weapon durability the wrong way. The dilemma Nintendo had in the development of BotW is that they created an open world where you can make a beeline to the final dungeon with 20 minutes or so (less than half if you know what you're doing). How do you balance the game so the players don't pick up endgame weapons so early and steamroll all enemies? Enter durability; the lazy as fuck solution to the above problem. --- https://i.imgur.com/WmIB016.jpg https://i.imgur.com/53FGj6K.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!
