So, a lot of people right now run around with very little on their body, and then suddenly whip out a claymore out of their inventory.

Things like two handed swords, etc, should be shown at all times in a sheath or something....you wouldnt keep that in a backpack.

Or, instead make the game show what weapons/armor people are equipping, take x4 as long and require people to invest skill points in "preparations" to equip weapons/armor faster (If that is what they want) getting really tired of this myself.

I've seen people equip entire plate armor sets during a fast raid in record time without spending a single combat point in preparations(NYI), the very purpose of having guards is questionable now that every peasant and their mother can teleport to their home to equip full plate and a 2H sword within a minute.

There is currently no risk involved with running around naked and teleporting to your home to be battle ready in a split second.

Yeah, couple things need to be addressed here....

1 - more complex armor and weapons should take longer to equip than simpler ones. Plate and such should take a while.

2 - you should see weapons, especially big ones, in sheaths.

3 - there needs to be reasons to not be naked all the time....seems like hardly anyone wears armor. is this because they want max speed bonus, and armors protection isnt worth the slowing? whats the issue here...its silly.

If you get hit without any armor on with a decent weapon you should be dead in 2 shots.

the reason most players do not wear armour constantly is is the drain on our stamina when they are doing their normal duties or just trying to get from point A to point B.

I do agree that the dining of armour should take different times, as it can be a long procedure to properly put the armour on.

2 handed weapons displaying something if they are in your inventory would make things interesting at least. Nothing like pulling a great sword from your pocket.

Good topic, great suggestions.

+1 to each of the 3 above me, I think it's an important conversation to have/topic to cover.

Perhaps this will be something that is greatly improved once Combat Preparations skills and the core framework for the entire concept is implemented.

Not that we can't talk about it before then, I just think it'll be greatly mitigated once it's implemented - the worst and most common problem in any Alpha
