durability is for immersion in an rpg
durability is not fun
durability does not balance anything
it immerses you


in a survival game, it is used for balance

this isn't a survival game


Let's not get shackled by 'realism' to the point of introducing unfun tedium.

Futhermore, the repair process goes like this.
I open my inventory
I right-click on an item with yellow/orange indicator on it
I see a bar go from empty to full in about a second
I completely lose a repair hammer

Does any of that sound immersive to any of you?
It wasn't immersive for me either.

Edit: If the system is changed to provide a richer experience, keeping it could be good, but as-is it's a case of less-is-more.
