It's no so bad so far, bro. Later on after you failed to craft armor or weapon and lost all your resources you will rip hairs on your butt.

hahhaha true.... I played first time and literally wasted 4hrs of crafting due to not being able to craft an "easy" recp......
This level of frustration is insane and funny at the same time.
Right now I just wanna see how many hrs it takes to make a simple thing.

MOMENT ...
That's a joke, isn't it?
I mean the thought alone, I collect rare resources for hours to build something nice, because fail, and resources gone, hours played for nothing ?
♥♥♥♥, it's good that I've read here, there's no better reason for me not to buy the game.

Well, its not a joke. And a cetrain level it s ok. Because it forces to have people specialicing oin areas and to cooperate.
But my point: Being a starter.... crafting basic things.... marked as "EASY" failing 5 times in a row..... which took you 4hrs to gather / craft.... without any result .....

After reading this.... i think my point really is: The Label "esay" does not match the propabiliets at all since I had this fails so many times.

I would want to know what "EASY" means in termns of %. Because I imagine I would be 75% ~or something. Now failing 5 times would be 0,25^5 ~ 1% chance.
I could accept that since its stil RNG .... but I saw this so many times in Leatherworking or Flechting or Carpentry....
IT seems Easy has a less then 40% chance of success... or something.... SO DONT CALL IT "EASY"

no it's not, at no point is it okay to waste people's livetime, this mechanic is a complete disqualifier for the game

Yeah, I wish more there would be player skill involved, but player skills means often there is a way for bots to always make 100% perfect crafting products. I'm not a fan of random numbers and I hate to look on a bar and hope I have enough luck.

But that is it, you can have very bad luck and than it fails several time even it is easy. But you can also have luck and you success at a very hard item twice in a row. I had that with my iron axe in Alpha 2.

It sucks to get bad RNG but feels sooo good when you hit. I wasn't a fan at first of the random crafting but I am now.

The altars & miracles feature on their roadmap could work like that too.
You will become a true believer, when the Gods of Pax cast a bless upon you after enough sacrifices and rituals.

Makes you miss the old days of Wurm were you could destroy a wagon with one fail .
But the lost is cruel and could be toned down some .

Here is a crafting system from the old Vanguard MMO by Brad McQuaid (in good memory). We've got history on those MMOs, some were having very nice ideas and mechanics, some others not. One thing remains: they were teaching.

Issue with Vanguard was Sony buying it out and then forcing early release .
They knew it would be better then EQ so killed it .

If you fail on a craft there's a chance it will save some of your resources, but they drop on the ground around the crafting station and need picked up before they de-spawn.

So far my crafting is progressing well, I have full chain mail, a sword, buckler shield, a good spear and a longbow with flint headed arrows. This was at the end of day two, I don't know how fast you guys want to make crafting increase, but at this rate it will be all done within a month.

This game is designed for group play, list it or not. It's not a single player game. It's an MMORPG and there is no avoid chopping trees or mining

Best roleplaying experience ive had in a long time

Im a solo player trying to build a clan of new solo style players in game through play.

Ive got ever Crafting Skill, except Baking and Jewelry, to level 10-15 and its been so much fun.

It sucks to fail at crafting something big, but its better then locking a player out completely and have unlock = always made

It's definitely my top sandbox MMO by far, and its day 5 of early access!

It's the best crafting system in any sandbox MMO. Getting the first iron axe and pick was a huge accomplishment. Crafting them after 1 or 2 fails at a super early level was awesome

Leveling and resource gathering should be tuned up slightly (maybe by 1.25 or 1.5)

Even as a solo player I feel super accomplished and the windfall moments of having the game open up are awesome

Welcome to the old world...
This is rooted in the old school MMOs like dark age of camelot...
It's not for everyone...
And as soft as todays gamer is....they may have trouble finding a big enough audience at all.
