Greensteel Deconstruct?

[Junts]

IIRC...Turbine also ignored all the pleas for changing Reaver's Refuge crafting for quite some time......they eventually got around to it tho...so who knows.

They tacitly acknowledged that it was problematic and implemented several small changes designed to make it easier (which they did, just not easier-enough) before going with the big one.

They've never even begun to tweak the way shroud crafting works even a tiny bit, even when they came in and did other things that use the same mechanics and materials (tod rings), an addition that coincided with one of the rounds of tweaks to reaver's refuge.

Throwing around insults because they tell you the truth isn't very nice.

The game's senior Dev said that it wasn't in the cards. As much as many of us want it, as much as there have been 1000 threads as was pointed out by the person you called names, its probably never going to happen.

and if we really wishes better for the game, we'll get rid of GS altogether

Will this be included in update #8? We've been waiting quite a while for this.

From what I've seen it isn't included as part of Update 8. In fact I don't recall the Devs ever saying it would EVER be part of the game.

From a couple angles. You can't pull all the ingredients out of a cake once its made; So from a flavor standpoint, it should not be done.

Ingredients are the form of currently in our game that has been most stable in value over time. Allowing some sort of recovery would flood the market and drive value down. From an economic standpoint, its not a good idea.

I know that there are horror stories of messing up items and recovery would be nice. I wish there was a window that popped up saying, "hey, do you want to put the oder of donkey ****oo on your greensteel item?"

I do not think that just becuase these items have been surpassed in some way or that they are no longer as viable as they use to be that they should be able to have their ingredients salvaged.

I do believe remembering the conversation come up in a ask a dev discussion and if I'm not wrong Tolero was not against it.

I don't find anything that says that the devs are against it, as there was as far as I know no prior adversity against reincarnation until that happened. I think the bigger piece is how and what it will require (coding) time to be done. We still have age old bugs in the game and I would imagine that each update cycle is filled adding more content rather than releasing 'altered' functionality.

But not posting an objection to it does not constitute a promise to ever implement it either. The Devs could be fine with it but it still may never make it into the game. Not really the Devs call, at least if they function the way most programming divisions do. They are told by others what to add and they make it so.

If Turbine is absolutely committed to no greensteel deconstruction, common sense would say it is in their interest to state in these threads that is the case to prevent this argument from happening over and over again.

But it won't prevent these threads. People will still continue to post "Green Steel Deconstruct?" threads even if every Turbin employee personally posted that it would never happen. As has been pointed out, people don't always search for an existing thread on a topic before creating new threads.

But I can tell you that if they did post that it was never going to happen there would be so many threads created protesting the decision and demanding that they change their minds or "we'll quit paying/playing" that the Cube would tripple in sizes practically overnight.

Issue here is it only takes an hour to go to a store and replace cake ingredients. GS crafting can take days/weeks maybe even months and thats all based on if your lucky enough to get the right ingredients in your drops.

I am aware it was not mentioned. I do this at every update to 'remind' the devs that we still want it.

I agree with Anjilas point. They have not denied it. Simply said it would be hard to implement. We can uncraft epics, etc. We should be able to do the same with GS.

True. Personally I think that even if a dev came out and said no, it could still change at any time. If Turbine thinks that there's profit to be made, it serves the gaming community better and have an insignificant impact on the over state of the game, it'll happen sooner or later.
