See title.
Professions are a hot mess in DF. The worst experience I have had in gaming all my life. That´s how bad of a system you have created here, and I used to love making gold by crafting!
If the old professions were too simplistic this is the very opposite. What a mess!
Just scrap it all and start over again. This isn´t salvageable.
The problem is they’re timegated since the amount of knowledgepoints you can get every week is kinda limited, and also that you can’t reset your mistakes. So you can spend your early knowledgepoints on the wrong stuff and gut your profession, after which it will take months to get enough points to fix it.
But I do like the idea, it’s fun to collect those knowledgepoints and to pick upgrades your profession.
Depends how you’re doing them. I’m finding it quite difficult maining two professions: Jewelcrafting and enchanting. I can’t mine, but atleast I can disenchant. It’s all so expensive to do without the secondary profession
You already made a large topic about this couldn’t you have just kept it to that or do you just love attention or something?
I will say again, the new professions system is brilliant and I am loving it and hope they don’t ruin it in any way such as allowing talent points resets.
‘‘This is the worst experience I have ever had in my gaming life’’ - You are either trolling or a complete and utter drama queen or you have wider issues you should see a therapist about.
There isn’t a ‘wrong’ way to do it, it’s designed so everyone has an area of expertise. At worst you are missing out on something very minor like ‘‘cant gather whilst mounted’’ big deal get over it, you’re able to do something else instead. If you could reset them almost everyone would just copy icy veins and the whole point of the system would be undermined and ruined.
This system is so interesting but min/maxers want to ruin it the same way they ruin everything in WoW once they get their claws into it.
And this folks is why people cannot and will not provide any form of feedback nowadays.
He made this exact same topic yesterday and it got something like 150 replies, he could’ve just bumped that one.
Is there a reason why you keep making new threads about the same thing? i think all of GD knows your opinion on this matter so far
Not delved much into the professions but it seemed a bit convoluted and I just couldn’t be arsed. To be fair I haven’t put a lot of time into the expansion yet, but perhaps Blizzard went a bit too “all-in” on the professions.
Time will tell.
Hyperbole and spam are not feedback.
Profession will never be relevant as long as this game will have 4 raid diffifulty levels and m+. You will always be better off doing 30 minute dungeons than wate time skilling up profession then farm resources to craft 1 item what could and will be made absolote by single dungeon run. Imagine you spent several daya to craft aome high end ger than you go into m+ and you replace that item in 30 minut dungeon run.
Professions only work in games where gear progression is long term thing, doesnt get absolote and takes lot of time and effort to get items.
You do know that any M+ player and raider needs consumeables crafted by professions, right?
Your whining doesn’t count as “feedback”. Enough WoW features were ruined because of your “feedback” already.
And since you have every right to express your opinion, I have every right to criticise it. I am 100% with Morrag on this. Current professions are fine. Are they perfect? Hell no… But they are a step towards to the right direction. It is designed as a slow grind with some gear here and there. The first knowledge points you are getting are easily attainable. Therefore, during the first weeks every person will have a field of expertise, and that’s fine.
If you don’t like the system you can pretty much avoid it.
It was never designed to replace gearing from raids and dungeons. Gear from crafting is a bad luck protection. That’s how it is designed. And I am personally ok with it.
If you don’t like the system you don’t have to engage with it directly. You can pretty much gather the materials and post a work order to get that gear yourself.
I think it looks good, but I have a huge problem, and that is that I am an Alchemist and Leatherworker… No gathering on my main, which makes this extremely painful. I do not wish to drop any of them either, as I have had LW since vanilla(Alchemy since TBC). This is also my main, so the Alchemy is very much for raiding purposes. Dropping any of them for gathering feels like a giant slap in the face that I am not ready to do.
WoW’s professions cannot easily be made great, since we have “iLvl” and fixed stats. The best you can hope for is a higher iLvl and there is no gear variation outside of that.
For the best profession system into an MMO, look into the very first, 20 year old, SWG.
Close to the same system as we had in New World, it’s an extremly improved system which is fun.
I think you should take a month or so in getting used to the new way proffesions work, rather than make posts about it, in the first few weeks of the games release.
It’s not a difficult system to master once you take some time with it.
This is simply not true due to the finishing/optional reagents. You can specify which stats you want and also add additional effects on the gear you are making.
Seriously think they should’ve introduced it step by step and not made experiments the only recipe you can skill with to max from 50 on. That’s just lazy work. I’d be fine with experiments covering the last 10 or 20 skill points and after that provide exclusive recipes the will produce relevant consumeables for M+ / Raid content / gear equal to it. But timegating the entirety of professions from 50 on behind one type pf recipe is not only obnoxious but also rather uncreative.
Accidently put it in the wrong forum, and I feel so strongly about it that I wanted to make another topic, yeah. I am so disappointed. I really mean it, I don´t even want to play the gme because of this, at all. Leaves me feeling deeply frustrated.
