      It looks interesting . . .

      Although I haven't actually played the game and have only read various articles and looked at various screenshots -- it seems the crafting system lacks complexity.

     

      I was hoping for something very complex, where some kind of 'know-how' would be needed ala Star Wars Galaxies. 

     

      I suppose it's OK, since the focus is PvP . . . but still, . . :(

    I guess someone has to say it....

     

    its not PvP based.. its RvR based... there is a different

    If WoW = The Beatles
    and WAR = Led Zeppelin
    Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

    Guess you haven't been paying attention / comprehending very well then to the various qoutes that this isn't Warhammer Age of Crafting, World of WarhammerCraft etc.   It'll take some time and patient to learn all the possible combinations but its not meant to be some SWG live as a crafter Game.   Its a cool system but its not a Crafting game.

    Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

    You don't need a World of Crafting to have good crafting in a game.

    Yea you do actually.  The best crafting always comes from games where Crafting is a progression path instead of a side job.    Games like SWG need this sort of crafting since the best Gear & items are PLayer made...The WAR devs have been saying this for months the best items come from RvR...anyone thats 'disappointed' because it snot 'hardcore' enough crafting and then has the gall to say they've been paying attention ... obviously is lying or really poor at comprehension.

     

    Besides your opinion doesn't count you keep calling it WoW crafting when its Far from WoW crafting since WoW and SWG crafting involve the pattern system.  Buy Pattern make item....thank god WAR doesn't make you buy damn patterns.

    I personally think WAR's crafting is pretty cool.

    I really should start a thesis on MMO psychology. For many people it's not so much about about what WAR is it's about how much it's *not* WoW :)

     

    It's amazing the amounts of hate against that game ^^
