An ideal solution would be that stat-based EQ is still usable, but with more
realism than the current insta-wear-and-remove of 100kg of EQ.


What we need is a Tune(tm) and here are some suggestions:

- Make wearing and removing a single piece eq of eq take some time.

- Make EQ have "battle ticks/stats".

- Make swapping an exp-based skill (yawn). Or make the skill speed up
wear/remove.

- Or all of the above.

Some of that might be heavy to implement, but they're just suggestions. The
current system sucks, but we still need stat-eq so the new system shouldn't
completely destroy swapping, just make it more realistic (a bit less used or
less effective).

This was a bit hasty, so maybe someone can come up with something spiffy? :)

I agree, wearing full plate should take some time and I dont mean just few
delay secs, but minutes. It's not a jogging suit that u can slip into for
christ sake.

you realize this kind of \"feature\" would completely ruin the game today, right? sure make a skill that we have to dump 10m into to be able to swap instantly, making it take minutes swapping a set just wouldnt work these days.

Good idea, but have you both forgotten that bat time differs from RL time? 5 min in RL is 1 hour in bat or so. So the delay should be in seconds. :)

That would be most useless and annoying feature ever and for what? To gain
realism in fantasy based text game. Oh please.
