1.0.3, Attack Speed Changes, and Hypocrisy

[Chesspiece_face]

Nice to hear it's not impossible now.
What is your opinion on the increased repair costs, do they seem significant to you?

Repair costs essentially make fighting in areas a little above your head pointless. Repairing mostly broken gear will run you upwards of 20k so if you push for progression and end up hitting a pack that destroys you, you are still going to be in the position of quitting game and restarting. Less so because the pack is impossible and more so that the cost for repairs isn't worth the trouble.

I have a feeling that these changes will end up pushing a lot of people back into Act 1 farm mode. You will start out feeling elated that you have a fighting chance against stuff you didn't before but after you see those repair bills shooting up chances are you will just go back to the place you know you can farm with impunity and not risk higher levels until you vastly outgear it.

We shall see.
