The tale of the three forks : the Cannith Crafting Update pass

[Xionanx]

Months later and this topic is still here... It's nice to leave to play another MMO, pop in here, and see old familiar dead horses.

I 100% with Uurlock on two points:

1. CC needs to be EQUAL in "POWER" to Random Loot Gen. (Capable of making the same effects)
2. CC needs to have 100% flexibility. (put what you want where you want it)

I disagree on the "Grind" and "Implementation" portion(S) of his proposal.

I think the grind and levels need to removed, that access be gated purely by how much money you are willing to spend. Make platinum worth having again.. make people interested in selling "Trash" on the AH or the Brokers because they actually NEED Money again.

I have NO faith that Turbine will do anything close to a "Good" job on this. My tolerance for what passes for "Development" and "Community Involvement" here reached a peak months ago..

Turbine, IMO, needs to get its act together with DDO.

I do agree that some unique (and even potentially powerful) effects that are available from cannith crafting and nowhere else would be great. There's the more power you seem to want (for the grind you already did and feel a little resentful over?), and it can come without invalidating other items.

Please, campaign for a more interesting game where every type of item is interesting and has something to recommend it. Not for more raw stat inflation.

I believe IIRC that NoWorries said that even though all recipes for all new loot / cannith crafted / RGL are in one database (recipe box) - that all recipes will NOT be available to all systems. Examples of this is unique effects / set bonuses from LGS / named will not be available to CC/RGL. Some RGL effects will not be available to CC; and some CC effects (specifically legacy) will not be available on RGL.

Uniqueness.

The grind can be mitigated through plat/AS's/TP - buy essences with plat / trade. Buy xp / success boosts with plat / TP. Grind by created shards (plan the work - work the plan). Easy to level that way if you are willing to dump resources into doing so.

WOW.. this thread....

75% or so was spot on, some was off, some didn't make it - but overall... so far from what I see on Lamannia I like where CCUP is. Could it be better? Yes, nothing is perfect, but now CC might have a solid future.

Give it another 6 months, and then let's see what you/we think...

nothing survives the test of time.

only thing more powerful than water is time; the only thing more powerful than time is water and time combined. :P
