Return of Reckoning

Can any1 tell me plz whats going on with crafting skills? can we use them or not?

No you can't use them

Crafting is not considered a priority atm

crafting should be the last priority in my opinion.
1. Lag/crash free gameplay
2. Working abbilities/tactics
3. Working keeps,BOs,Scens
4. Itemization(rvr sets,pve drops)
5. Crafting

Absence of crafting doesnt affect gameplay expirience, but crashes, bugged keeps,abbilites or items does.

Dev team does an awesome job and I am so, so thankful for what You guys doing!

Crafting plays a big roll in itemization, probably the biggest aside from renown abilities.

OP was asking if crafting works, he didn't ask for suck up to dev responses.

To answer your questions,

It looks like +3 talis were working, Github found a few that do not work though. Some potions were working, some are not. The t1 recruit potion was working yesterday, not sure about today.

Scavenging: Can't scavenge 5 levels below? I think?

I am not saying, that they dont. I am saying absence of crafting doesnt affect the gameplay we have now and can lead verry fast in to imbalance fully potted/talismaned vs no pots/talismans.
It should not be the priority at this stage of development.

i'm currently working on crafting culti apo talis scavange and talisman slotting are coded now and work we need bug fixing and exploit finding on those though
the bigger issue is we need to fix a ton of items in the db before it will fully work at least we got some helpers to do that so my dev time isn't used for that

I thought that Tallis and pots and stuff won't be implemented till t4 to study balance first atleast that's what az was saying

Those are a big part of balance, there is no reason to wait till T4. Whats the point of studying balance if it will all change once you throw talismans and potion buffs into the mix? And ATM we really need some stats to make up for the missing ones from renown abilities to hopefully take us out this really boring OP healer snooze fest.

The warhammer crafting system - always hated it. And it'll add even more balance problems.

Let's assume we got a player who stocked up on expensive blues and epics. He'll have epic talismans in no time. At this point, I hear the melee train rushing in even louder.
