Looks like whoever is lucky to go to Gamesday event this summer gets an exclusive ingame item: The Skaven Skin Cloak! Makes me jealous that I live in the south!

Cheers!

heya,

Thanks a lot vmoped, That crafting podcast was awesome as hell,and it is only a preliminary  view of the total system.  I am really  starting to believe  Mythic  when they say they are not releasing this game until it  is great,and it is  well on its way to being just that at this point in time.

Thanks for the info!

Cheers & thanks Vmoped for all your spare time you took on bringing those links, news and infos before May newsletter!



Edit: Oh and we finally have a chance to see Mark Jacobs (Lead  Designer) speaking, hehehe... and yeah awesome podcast.

OMG Hellz Yeah!  Now thats what I call an awesome crafting system! 

Also I don't plan to play Order anytime soon, but that White Lion class is the first pet system that actually sounds like I could enjoy!

I am a little disappointed that they do not have armor or weapon crafting in the game (they could add it in the future) because those were the two professions I always took.  However, the "new" craftign system does seem to be fresh and different enough to be entertaining.  I hope that when a gathering profession is chosen you automatically get a pack for that gathering profession to store stuff, and also that your pots to mix ingredients will be a container seperate from you bags and will not waste gear inventory space.  Very cool info!

*gazes at the crow and shakes head* im pretty sure whatever is in the video is just a sneak peek / minor taste of the crafting system.  They've never in all their podcasts given the whole shebang away in one go.  Especially considering this is the first time ever they've released any detailed information besides a mini video a few months ago.

The guy specifically said in the beginning of the video that this is what they have so far, and more could come or changes to all that!  They wanted to get the crafting idea out there for their fan base to see what its about.

Mythic has also said on countless times that their game isn't going to be heavily gear based, so what u get from quests, scenarios, PQs, instances and city seiges will prolly be more than enough then you use the Talismon Making craft and upgrade the gear...maybe!

Purely awesome, a game i ll want to craft in, i can t wait.

Guys... crafting is almost exactly like WOW. I know I will be flamed because of this, but it's the naked truth. Big disappointment and a sad surprise... couldn't they make something better? God...
