[MP] Gloves

Maybe it's just me...but gloves seem relatively useless. The added protection is absolutely tiny compared to the cost.


Is it just me? Are there any plans to boost these a bit? Am I missing something obvious?

 
Low weight and decent cost for a few extra points of protection that can really help. Only useful when money is plentiful I guess, but still. Sometimes I prefer good gauntlets to armour though, because of the speed reduction.
 
I always thought they only protected the hands. If they add to the torso I suppose they aren't that bad, although still pretty expensive.
 
They add body armour, so yes, to the torso. They are mainly good for looking snazzy though. :razz:
 
Gloves are actually very useful. They appear overpriced but there's sound economic thinking behind their prices.

E.g.:
You're a Swad Inf with a Haubergeon and ankle (free) boots.

Option A:
1000 gold to upgrade to a Brigandine which would net you +5 B. Armor +6 L. Armor at +1 weight

Option B:
880 gold on mail gloves and Mail Chausses would net you +4 B. Armor +12 L. Armor at +3.5 weight

So you may choose option A if you're just slogging it out with infantry. But if the enemy team has good archers, you may find option B better.


*edit* oh and the super expensive gloves simply serve as a way to spend your money when you're rich. To squeeze out those extra few armor points you need to spend more and more money. Just like IRL!
 
Yeah I like that the best gloves are so expensive.

Gives you something to spend your money on when you're doing really well.


And as Laz pointed out, the low-tier ones aren't too bad value...
