716 quality synthesis!

[tachikoma]

why do people keep saying the HQ changes are for 1.19, they are not for 1.19. They have said they are looking for feedback on the changed synths in 1.19 so they can make the HQ changes in 1.20/1.21 and not screw up the whole system.

Ok I see it missed a page of threads including this by Sonic, seems he said what I did already:

We already know the NQ/HQ change isn't coming in 1.19, it's coming in 1.20. The crafting changes to materials is coming to 1.19. You're right, we don't know if HQ is gonna be applied to materials, but I rather NQ materials than gather all the HQ materials then fail to get HQ item. It's just time consuming. To me that never was skillful, it was all luck, which you're getting confused for skillful play. Also their comments about skillful play doesn't apply to the crafting system, they were talking about the battle system.

It seems like they want the crafting system as non-tedious as possible and to me that's a good thing because crafting sucks.
