Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

Greetings,

Thanks for all the feedback!

As we've been receiving lots of comments in regards to the number of players that are required for company crafting, the dev. team is currently considering making adjustments to where some of these company crafted items can be handled on your own.

This would be huge, we are a small group and it is a bit cumbersome to get everyone in the area at one time, even though that's all that is needed.

I'd love to see them removed for the Aetherial Wheels. I can easily craft those on my own, but need 3 others to finish it.

Yes, yes and triple yes.

I can see the point to having 4 crafters, but eh yoshida, community and socialism doesn't quite work well in this game.

I dont think it should be added to Private estates... theres no FC content as it is... at least the FC crafting station made a reason to be in a FC, I know there will be people who dont want to be in a FC... but then they dont need the crafting station, since it was created for airships originally to get certain mats and Diadem, and they made a way for ppl without a FC to do Diadem ... but thats my 2 cents.

I think a parallel system should be in place for estates.

For example, no reason not to allow home facade building for personal estates.
But also no reason for personal homes to need to be able to make wheel stands/buffs.

As to the airships:
1 Ship per personal home, a small ship that can travel to all the sectors, but likely can only hit 1 of the furthest out in one journey, or 2 of the closer sectors.
Reasoning?
Some of the airship mats, are just far too rare on server Market Boards for far too long making it so the average player likely will never see them/the items crafted from them. Also, even for a player in a FC that reliably finds and shares the rare mats w/ members, the reality is, there are now so many different rare mats+sectors to aim for that it is hard to keep up with everyone's desires, once again meaning it's hard to meet everyone's needs. Also FC's have access to diadem/diadem HM esp. But in order to do Diadem on a regular basis, they need to hold a ship (or more depending on needs) back, which means even less ships being sent out for mats.

Like right now, in my FC:
2 People are waiting on 6 Drav. Motes each.
1 Person is waiting on 4 Potters stones
Several Raiders are highly interested in V materias
Several people want Tincalconite
1 Person wants Antique Rugs
1 Person wants Shrub Seedlings
2 People want Oriental Grass
3 People want Fine Alumen

We keep one ship 'Diadem Ready' at all times, this leaves 3 other ships to go out on missions. We also have to unlock a couple of the new sectors yet. So with everything going on, it's almost impossible to accomodate everyone. Which is why, if personal homes, could send a small ship out, even if it could only hit 1-2 sectors each trip...it would not only help lessen FC loads, but would keep the server Market Boards more vibrant w/ the rare stuff, and make it so average players could maybe get some shinies.

And this isn't even factoring in, within most fc's the ave. member doesn't get much say in where airships go/how they are used.

Basically, I think there's a way to make it so personal homes can have a parallel system that doesn't really undermine the FC workshop worth.

There have been no changes to how workshops work in the last patch, I hope the dev team haven't forgotten about this one! D:

Good news. Why only "some of them" though? There is no reason why 3 people should just stand there and just watch crafting of any item in my opinion.

[LionFranco]

Nope, with the airships it should require more than one person, no matter what. Same with the outside of the houses. But with the aetherial wheels and stands, only one person should be able to do those.

Why. There's no argument you can make regarding the wheels that you can't make with any of the other workshop items, and visa versa.

Exactly. I don't see a reason.
