@@HaunterV If they are doing it correctly, beta will fly by compared to alpha. Alpha phases tend to reflect the size and complexity of the project. Beta phases tent to reflect the numbers of errors and omissions you have made. If you wrote perfect code, and missed no requirements the beta phase would be just as long as a clean test takes. It may be copium, but the longer and more careful the Alpha, the shorter the Beta, because you have fewer bugs, and requirement gaps to fix and retest. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the length of the Alpha is not a very good guide to the length of the Beta.

@@henrythegreatamerican8136 That will be difficult because ALTs are fairly restricted on the same server. You certainly will be able to reach mundane levels of Artisanship, cooks/alchemists/stablehands etc., but whether you will be able to have an array of top level artisans is debateable, particularly if this will break the economy of the game. So if you want just a moderate food buff before your Raid you can have an ALT make it. If you want a top level buff, then either one of your raid needs to be a dedicated Cook, or you can go to an inn and buy one. I think that is the Intent. Obviously you can multi-account round it and so on, but I think that for the average player a WoW style crafting community on one account is going to be impossible.

Just because crafting will have the best weapons doesn't mean you will have to engage in crafting, it means that you need to earn whatever the money is to buy the gear from crafters. If it's going to work it all needs to be in balance in the economy allowing players to play whatever way they want. The key with an MMO is to keep the power differences small enough that players can choose whatever paths they want and have fun.

I don't agree at all with the last sentence. Fun/engaging to me isn't "everyone is capable of beating everything". That ends up in "insert your MMO" gameplay where you lose interest in a second if you are not fed with new content. I believe/hope that in ashes to craft that particular armour/weapon will need an insane amount of teamwork for only one player to enjoy. The most promising player that will make the best use of it.

So, the crafting system with a gameplay feature is a very cool idea. If they can execute it correctly, crafting might actually be skillful AND fun and lead to some crazy good gear depending on how hard the minigame is. I'm going to reference SAO Abridged(look it up on KZitem it's very good) episode 7 or 8 where the blacksmith creating one of the best Swords in the game from a boss drop material goes throught like 3 different mini games at the same time and it's insane and nearly impossible but it looks fun and like the skill cap could make for some truely remarkable things. Imagine for a moment the top blacksmith in a server is a streamer or youtuber that just crafts things on stream to show their skill in their craft because the game is challenging and the rewards are great.

What I hope for the minigme (if it exists) is a layer that affects quality instead of something that is absolutely required for every mundane craft. You make an Iron short sword, the minigame gets a perfect, and the result changes to a "durable" or "sharp" iron short sword... a boring alternative would also be getting an already upgraded version of the weapon "iron short sword +4".
@Bananenbauer123

I hope that it adds to the chance of the craft being of higher quality. Say at maxed out corresponding crafting level you are guaranteed quality 6 out of 10, but 10/10 crafts can only happen if you ace or almost ace the minigame, and even then it's random.

All I've ever wanted in an MMO is one where someone could own a shop like in Sword Art Online, and another player comes in and buys gear from them directly because they know that that particular player makes high-quality stuff. Most MMOs don't differentiate a sword or helmet made by one person to the next other than name...all the stats are the same, there's no unique colors or logos, it's just "craft thing; put on market." I'd LOVE it if there was some way to tell that someone has a sword made by this person, and you could play the game with the goal of becoming a renowned weaponsmith if you wanted to.

The perfect crafting for me: Choose design (skin) that consist of few zones Each zone could use different materials providing different texture and stats. (So for example you could make denim jacket resistant to cut dmg, or you could make same design leather jacket resistant to stab damage. On top of that you could populate different zones of design, so you could add woolen inside for extra hear resistance etc. The most important part would be is what you use is what you get. The closest game in that regards would be FFXIV base game, where you actually can see material texture chaning depending on material used, and if it included gems etc, you actually seen em in final product.

On one hand I don't like that the best gear is made by crafting. It just feels good to drop a legendary sword from a dragon, probably lodged in it's hide by a knight centuries ago. But on the other hand, most well written shows portray how legendary material is dropped from a slain beast(dragon scales, horns, maybe magic ore from an elemental) and then made into legendary gear by people. We'll see in the game but this one is the one I am worried will make the game less fun for me. As I really like getting random upgrades from drops, and I don't usually metagame running the same area 100 times for a perfect for a perfect drop bc it's just boring to me.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this, but say I wanted to be an alchemist mage. Would I ONLY be able to truly master alchemy? (a processing profession?) or would I be able to master herbalism as well? Feel like being proficient in 1 job per artisan category would be best (gather, process, craft). That way everybody also gets to craft high quality items of some sort (and engage in those mini games as well). Also, I would hate walking by highly valuable herbs as an alchemist, but the game won't allow me to pick it up, or it's like way less efficient/chance to fail, whatever. I also think that most processing, by comparison, would probably be the most boring category. Turning mined ore into ingots probably ain't that exciting compared to exploring the game world to find rare ores or crafting a legendary sword.

You will be able to master alchemy an 1 other processing. You won't be able to do herbalism (master herbalists and master alchemists need to negotiate trade).

Gathering is a very active job, crafting is assumed to be an active job with the minigame, but processing? I can only imagine dumping a bunch of raw materials into a refinement building and then it will process basically by itself. Will see though, maybe processed materials also have mini games and are bulk crafted.
