Armor decay seems REALLY bad right now… I just spent about quadruple the cost i did before the update on a small hunting trip using full knight on atrox.
EDIT: After testing the armor again the problem did not exist the second time all the pieces were repaired. So if you have not yet repaired your armor do so before you attempt to use it for a real hunt. I’m am 100% positive the first time the armor was repaired the cost was much higher than normal.

oh FFS deja-vu :rolleyes:
MA I suggest your get yourselves set up with a bloody LESSONS LEARNED DATABASE, each VU list the things you ‘could have done better’ and just go thru the list fixing them again in the current VU’s merged code!?!?
We should start one for players …
1 - dont use armour 1st day VU
I seriously hope this it the same bug resurfacing but maybe my nice boar decay wasnt ment to be 
Had the same experience with my vigi,small trip that usualy cost about 1-2 peds repair was now almost 20 peds
I realy hope that this is just a bug :smash:
omg ;o
I’m DL’ing the update atm and i hope it’s only a bug, cos i dont want armors to get nerfed :mad:
How could you MA !!?
I really hope that that is only a bug…
I loved the idea of having a free choice of armor, really… 
Also it’d probably be bad news for armor crafting folks :duh:
[SIZE=1]Shouldn’t such massive bugs be easily spotted within a minute or two of testing? Correct me if I am wrong…[/SIZE]
it was a bug last time, the amounts of decay sound almost the same .
True…
Maybe it’s just a little (unplanned :whistle: ) reminder how nice the armor decay is now and will be fixed in a while… xD
dont use armor till fixed then eh? try hunting atrox or shit without armor. like atrox young orso?
f***, f***, f***
31 ped on vigi on what should have been 4 ped repairs

I’ve been hunting the same mob for the last 2 weeks, and the decay on my shadow has been between 20 and 30 PED. just returned from a hunt on the same mobs and my armor repair was 143 PED. What the hell is going on here?
Why is MA changing decay on the armor with each VU??
Stop trying to suck the last drop of blood out of my vains, please…
And when did u guys experience this major decay? I agree that the first day after VU the armor decays more but that is always fixed as we have learned from previous updates no? 
I work with software and to merege 2 seperate VUs together must be a total nightmare, I can imagine that the code was fixed for armour decay in the last VU but not in the new one, the code for the new one has prob overwritten the ‘bug fixed’ stuff, give them time, they fixed it last time and I’m sure they’ll do it again
– BUT DO submit support cases, posting here is one thing but we need support cases logged —
Yeah, dejavu. Fix it asap, MA. :wise:
Well, it seems like the trend is still ongoing. Every VU there is always something that costs us more PED in Decay, repairs etc etc and it always lasts a day or so before it get repaired.
I think this is MA’s way of charging us for there Updates. :rolleyes:
Personally, for this to happen every VU is really getting stupid. I could understand it in the beginning, but surely by now MA should have this in the bag and be able to release a VU without the bugs they just repaired in the previous VU.
Looks like I won;t be hunting anytime soon. :rolleyes:

I’m sure the engineering staff is using some type of version control system, so any code changes made previously are always carried forward. Some one would have to intentionally"roll back" source files to a previous version, or manually make changes to the latest version, and check those changes back in.
I’m sure there’s some type of tweaking being done.
Agree they should goddamn learn the hard way
Besides betatest any VU’s with avatars that only have 100ped on account and 3 repaired honor swords, 1 valor and 1 determination, angel armor and go take on armax bull olds, trox guardians and gakkus
that sure as hell will show decay fuckups

lol yeah, they won’t even have enough to make repairs after their hunt.
oh dear… Better get fixed…
wtf is going on…this better not be true…and if it is…well the u just lost a nother player MA

yes but a VU update must have been simpler with only 1 dev team, with multiple dev teams multiple VUs being developed at one time and the need to integrate bug fixes into each its inevatable that mistakes will be made, it scares me to think of the number of individual code modules that make up PE!
Our dev team at work have made similar mistakes.
Cut them some slack after all the update was done quickly
