Crafting question

ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
in Ashes of Creation Design
does anyone know how crafting will work? or a general idea i am huge into crafting in MMO's well i was in EQ2 as it was fun and kept me busy and entertained and use to be rewarding, however i couldn't stand crafting on WoW as it was boring as hell! I am really hoping AoC will offer a fun crafting system (kind of like a mini game to gain durability and such) and not just click and turn your linen into cloth.

    We know professions will be a big thing but in regards to crafting itself I don't think they have gone into detail yet. I'm not sure about a minigame as if something requires great timing then people with high ping could never be as good as someone else. I do hope they find an interesting way to go about it unlike GW2 which was along the lines of: gather 1000 of the materials from this zone, then 1000 from the next... then 1000...
    Probably an exaggeration but it felt like such a drag or a pocket emptier XD

    EDIT: Think back to some game play we saw, the guys freehold had various building that seemed to be related to crafting so it seems that there is more to it than just gathering enough of a resource!

    Since crafting/gathering will play a huge role in order to upgrade the nodes, I don't think they will take it lightly. However since pretty much everything you've built can be destroyed, it won't be a pain in the arse. Of course rebuilding/building a metropolis will be no joke but for the early stage, I think it won't cause you to work overnight.
    As for equipment and stuff, I don't know if we have any info, but in a post ( sorry can't find it again T-T) the devs said something about high-level materials and monsters/boss drops being required to repair ( upgrade too maybe?) equipment of higher tiers.
    That's how far my memory goes about it since I didn't really put too much attention/thoughts into it.

    @tayale sadly I never played eq, so I can't work out how that video shows anything different or more immersive than other mmos... what's going on that makes it more enjoyable?

    For crafting all I remember being said is that gear is going to be fully customizable at high tiers with dials that you adjust for the stats, beyond that I don't think much else has been said.

    well its kind of like a mini game sort of? you click those buttons when they pop up and use them to increase the durability and crafting process faster .
