Hi all, I played the preview weekend, and had so much fun playing the classes I failed to try out Crafting. I was wondering if anyone tried the crafting and what they felt about it. Positive feed back only please. Thanks |

I'd liken crafting to a mini-game. Not exactly deep but more a fun diversion. |

Only a noob tester as yourself would come to the conclusion you did.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp. |
Crafting is more of a 'bonus' for the game. Not something to make or break the play but items will give you a helping hand. I worked the apothecary after I had gotten a stack of general items for the craft. I am most interested in Talisman making because I had quite a few gray items which has open slots for upgrades. These often had better armor bonuses than the greens which I was wearing but the greens had stats to offset the minor + to the armor the grays had. I am wondering if some of the gray items with a class specific talisman might end up being better overall to certain areas of the game, i.e. carry a set of gray 'talisman' items for PvE and have a set of greens/blues etc for PvP. *shrug* Time will tell.

What do you think the game will be released and they'll sudden;y make crafting amazing and all will be well? Also SWG had amazing crafting and Horizons had amazing crafting and I really loved EQ2's system too, you have games like EVE Online which just bring crafting to a whole other level. |

NO, wrong again. I'm just saying WAR's crafting system is brand new and "pioneering" none of us have any idea how it will be when its finished. They get an A++ though on originality. |

It's my feeling that crafting is really about the product rather than the actual process.
It's an entertaining distraction which doesn't require a whole lot of thought at the end of the day.
It think it fits into the game though. |
