How End Game Crafting Should Have Been

Yogscast Video of Archeage Beta Boat Building

Something similar to this needs to happen for end game crafting. Team crafting of things such as usable boats would be great! A bit more involved would be a bit better in my opinion but this still seems like a great addition to the game for 2.0 or a future expansion. It almost seems similar to what a lot of people were expecting for end game crafting in this game before launch and the developer restructuring. (Which led to a lack of focus on crafting despite the great overall improvements.) Of course it should take a large linkshell (or free company) and a bunch of crafters, with a lot of materials to complete such a large project like the boat in the video.

a better link.

Being under Yoshi now instead of Tanaka, I wouldn't think this is still planned. I definitely hope it is though.

Seeing with how the new Dev team has been operating, I'm willing to bet that if it isn't still planned, something better is being developed in it's place.

It's fun that any other mmo has some feature that FFXIV had to be...

It would be a dream come true. :3

Didn't they say hamlet defence would have end game crafting and gathering activities ?

Maybe we have to build stuff for the grand company to protect the hamlets etc.

I believe the official statement from waaaaaaaaaaay back was, we don't want to implement it until we have a reason for it to exist and content for it to be included in. So probably 2.0.

I like the crafting aspect of Archeage, especially the house & boat, but I don't like that you can get mugged or killed while getting mats from workbench to build site >_>

Hmmm.. the water in that game looks very nice. I think it's an area where this game could improve a bit.

Judging by the recipes changes from the previous overly-complicated "10 steps to make a t-shirt" system to our current recipes I doubt they will add synths that requires multiple people to be working on the same craft. What happens if someone botches (or d/cs during their synth)? What if someone is "trolling" and botches a group's synth on purpose? How would durability and quality work? There are a lot of issues with a system like this.

With the upcoming Hamlet Defense we are going to have DoH & DoL classes working to help in the defense so maybe we'll get a taste of how they want group crafting to work in the future from that.
