Make crafting a puzzle game!

If you don't win the puzzle you lose all the mats used and it will make a big BOOM animation.

I guess I am okay with this suggestion as long as it's optional.

It's already boring, now you want to make it boring and annoying.

No thanks.

You never crafted in Everquest 2, did you?

If you had, you would never have made this suggestion.

And, for the record, I have never ever played puzzle quest and never even heard of it until someone posted the name here in this thread.

You've also obviously never crafted in Vanguard. It had puzzle based crafting, and it made you want to tear your hair out.

This thread was only 8 months dead, hadn't quite developed a proper putrescence for proper necroing. 10-12 months dead usually smells better.

sorry I'll try harder next time.

* that means that 8 months must have been the length of my last absence from the forums cause this was still in my subscription folder :/ *

I'll wait a year before digging anything else up for communal inhalation.

/hell no

really?
if you like puzzle go do a raid or two.
i want to craft a new toon entire items list in less time, not more.

also. the crafting is expansive as is. having to figure out some1 else idea of 'guess my number' and loose expansive essences (and other hard to get ing. like purified shards or marks) if i fail is by no mean "fun".

keep my gear out of your fun. have puzzles in quests or events. not in crafting.

a puzzle OPTION where you could win 100% success on a 54% or higher.

a puzzle OPTION where you could win 100% success on a 54% or higher.

I Like that idea. if the number cruncher won't let you craft then why not rely on skill. (Or at least a quick jaunt to DDO wiki) The level if success would increase the percentage incrementally, so even if you didn't upgrade to 100% you may reach 95 or 80. Of course the difficulty of the puzzles would have to increase as the percentage decreases, with 50% being near impossible. but not completely impossible.

and the puzzle generator would have to have a random permutation algorithm in it to make sure that there are no easy answers for the 50% puzzles.

but yes. signed off on that idea.
