Crafting/Gathering and mmorpg
Ombra:
I can explain it to you... usually in MMO there is no cumulative delay in gathering/crafting, but the action itself take time or more stage to complete.
For example, mining take about 10 per ore, or if you need to trasform the raw material many times before get final product.
avv:
Comon man, the gathering was polished and tweaked so long and it's working pretty good now. No way it's going to be dumped. What needs to be done is to get rid of cheaters and botters like vederas said. Encourage players to do stuff with the same char while under cooldown, instead of leaving bots gather stuff while you watch a movie or play another game.
In the end making every crafting place findable for everybody would kill bots too. Ever seen bots in unsafe mines? Remove gathering areas from bases and scrap private mines.
Bots aren't that big issue however, they give unfair advantage to players and somewhat wreck the economy but they aren't crawling in your tent at night and stealing all your valuables. In other words, they aren't doing major harm to anyone.
Sius:
Crafting should not be only way how to obtain stuff. Fight and loot your reward or quests or something else... anything. But being forced to farm-craft stuff just because its only way how to get is is not good.
HertogJan:
Most MMOs have kind of a crafting/gathering system and often a profession that comes with it.
I don't see a problem in that, nor in the way it's done here.
It doesn't take time in FOnline, instead you get a cooldown in which you can do other things.
Go hunting, do a quest, ...
Some people make it sound like they don't like it as it costs them time and they just want to level up quickly.
There might be a better solution or a way to make the current situation work better, the game is still in beta after all.
FischiPiSti:
I honestly dont get it whats left to complain about.
Gathering and crafting became dynamic and fluid since wipe. I go to mine, gather untill im full(~12 min gathering CD because i have small frame), go back to base, craft stuff, go back to mine to gather more. It takes roughly 10 min in TB to get from mine to base, craft, get to mine again. I can wait 2 mins... Or, it takes the same amount of time at higher levels to go gather HQ materials in RT. This means that its hard to use dual logging for crafting, and doesnt give any meaningfull advantage.
Only problems i see with crafting atm, is that brahmin hides are dangerous to farm as allways, and junk is hard to gather.
