       Opinion: Why I think durability should be added
       By: smb718 Date: May 26, 2014, 7:51 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       When I first joined this server, I thought no durability would
       be nice.  It saves hours of farming that would have been
       necessary.  However, I've changed my mind.
       One of the problems is the availibility of guns.  Quite simply,
       there are too many guns on this server.  If there are a 1000
       guns, then someone decided to make 10 more, then there is 1010,
       and it will keep adding up.  The end result is a huge amount of
       guns.  Large groups will have a nearly unlimited supply to where
       they won't have to worry about losing a few.  They spend all
       their time simply fighting eachother, and killing any
       unfortunate new players who happen to get in their way.  This is
       what I don't like.
       With durability however, the "economy" of guns will reamin about
       the same.  Instead of ballooning into an infinite amount of
       guns, the rate of gun production and gun depletion will roughly
       level out.
       With no durability, there is very little need for farming.  When
       farming, you are much more vulnerable.  New players, who are
       already at a disadvantage, have to spend most of their time
       farming.  Because of no durability, the other players don't.
       This puts new players at an even greater disadvantage.
       When this game was created, it was intended for weapons to be
       somewhat rare.  It intended to make sure they are hard to craft.
       Most of all, it intended for them to eventually wear out, and
       force the player to actually work to acquire another one.
       Adding durability will ultimately level out the playing field.
       The groups with hundreds of guns will eventually start to have
       their supplies get depleted.  They will be forced to farm, just
       as all the other players have too.  They will be forced to use
       their metal to create these weapons, and will use less metal to
       build gigantic metal bases.  It will make this server less of a
       battlefield server, and make it more multi-dimensional.
       EDIT: This post mostly focused on guns, which is my main
       concern.  However, this also applies to armor as well.  Kevlar
       shouldn't be something so common that you can wear everywhere,
       but into battles.  Then the other types of armor will actually
       have more use.

       I agree that durability would ultimately help the server out.
       However, can you only make armor and weapons have durability? I
       don't really like durability on pickaxes and hatchets because
       they break way too fast.

       You both have some good points which I agree with. Let's wait
       for the other staff members to reply.

       Durability on weapons and armour should be nice.
       Maybe, if there is a option to add half-durabilty, i prefer
       that.

       Yeah durability seems to happen too quickly. If there was a plug
       in that could slow it down that would be perfect!

       While I'm sure it will have some advantages it will also have
       disadvantages. What if there are people who already have a ton
       of guns? They will be even more overpowered then they already
       are.
       I don't think this will work well. For example you just started,
       you made your first gun. You have to use it a couple of times
       and it's half broken already..
       Now image you already started a long time ago, you have a ton of
       gun's. Well you're overpowered for sure now! Because the noobs
       (aka new people) will have a harder time getting the gun's &
       they will have to face the fact that they break over time.
       I say no. I don't want this.

       The people with lots of guns will eventually run out.  Also,
       guns last a decent amount of time.  A shotgun lasts 100 shots.
       It only costs 12 low quality metal to make, which is like 30
       metal ore.

       If we add duribility dont we have a prob that all the ''OP''
       guys just raid everybody. I mean now guns arent a problem so
       the''OP'' guys dont have to kill the noobs that much to get
       resources etc. and spare more of the noobs. I think noobs going
       to get shot faster instead of having mercy. My oppinion is nope
       ;D people will just get picked off guard while farming. But 1/3
       of the duribility would be nice.

       Hello guys!
       I agree with the Weapons, but not with Clothes or Pick Axe or
       Hatchet.
       +1 for the Weapons
       -1 for the Clothes < they Break to way to fast, 1 Bear attack
       takes to much on the Clothes in my Eyes
