Thread: Specialist System in 3.0

I have liked being able to craft all my own gear, is this is no longer possible, I for one will be put off crafting/the game itself.

Having a game where you can (and pretty much have to) level every craft, but then only allowed to craft certain items, would imho be insane.

And game will drop to stupid grind. I see how my friends who cleared coils starts to grind it for drops becauce they don't know what to do... Craft will be stupidgrinded too... 8 craft classes + 1 combat to 60 then 1 to 100 and a lot of problems with item exchange between alts... I think they want to kill this version of game. For me, i don't know what about others.

The reason they won't say is that details can change between now and then, and if there are changes people will go all kinds of crazy and spout out stuff like "so and so lied to us" and "they should quit their jobs".

Precisely. In the recent Reddit interview, Yoshi couldn't give many details on the new classes because "we're still tweaking them".

What he said. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

The problem is the leveling process, or rather the progression of a character, gets extremely monotonous with a game like this. I'm talking about the main story scenario. When it comes to making a new character and leveling it from scratch, it feels very monotonous to me; something that shouldn't happen in an MMO genre espesically for leveling. I can't go out of my way to level via side quests because content and end game is still locked behind the main scenario.

I get what you're saying, and what Nyalia is saying too, but I also want to add, it's a lot of fun to talk about, guess and imagine. I'm sure we will eat up whatever the Devs cook. And thanks too for paying attention to threads like this.

Meanwhile it's open season on crafting speculation for 2.5 after the saucer patch, right? Because ... I thought it was going to be small until I found out June 23rd was Heavensward. But you can't leave us hanging in the same stage of zodiac and crafting there! What's going to be in that patch!?

PS: "However, it will be possible to have various specializations on a single character."
Awe yeah! TY Grekumah!
