REMOVE LOCKED SMITHING PARTS

[Shy]

Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that all the parts are locked and it takes 750,000 tier 6 swords to unlock all the parts. I Just want to make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sword, not spend days smelting crap in the hopes I might unlock the parts I actually want to use. Currently smithing is a non feature, and might as well be a money printer. Who's idea was it to lock everything fun about smithing behind a low percentage chance at unlocking even a single of those hundreds of parts?

It adds nothing but grind to the game. Nobody wants to sit there and smelt swords for hours on end just to be able to make a cool looking sword that has the same stats as any other sword. It's not like you can take advantage of the smithing to create god weapons, so there's literally no reason to have everything locked.

Ridiculous.

the system should be that when u smelt an item u get those parts for that particular weapon, then the stats being based on ur skill, so u can get the parts for end game weapons but the stats would be terrible till u got ur skill where it needs to be

Y u so angery

you need to understand that the entire game is built from the ground up around the idea of grind, i have no doubt in my mind that the original development team of warband is gone and at this point the management has been taken over by some corporate bufoon

Even with the mod removing stamina for smithing, and going through tons of weapons, still have less than 6 blades unlocked at 135 smithing skill.

I like the idea of getting a part specific to the weapon you smelt, even like a 25% chance would be nice.

While I agree with you ... I must point out that your attitude SUCKS dirty pond scum.
A simple & precise feature requests feedback would get more traction.
This is a beta afterall.

Or are you just going bonkers because your locked up in quarantine because of the 2020 Outbreak?

The dev's are listening. And community modders for Mount and Balde are crazy good so eventually that should change.

Yep, the mod to unlock all parts came out like 2 days after release, right after the stamina mod.

It definitely still needs some work. I suspect they can't simply just unlock as you destruct an item because there are way more craftable options than there are canned weapons.

Maybe make the chance of unlocking a *new* to you component be a function of your level, say every 30 skill points. So up to 30 skill your chance to unlock a Tier 1 component is 75% and -25% for each other tier (ie 50% for tier 3, 25 for tier3 and zero for tier 4 and 5. At 90 to 120 skill you have a 100% chance to unlock a tier 1 or 2, 75% for tier3, 50% for tier 4 and 25% for tier 5.

Or they are very much under pressure from whoever is funding them to give results (money) NOW, it seems a trend nowadays...
Either possibilities match with such an unpolished EA release.
