    I feel like this system IS the framework for the antiquities system. You go around farming pieces that lead to a complete piece that you then can equip. They simplified the system by making it an equipable piece vs a spell/spell skill line.

      Thoughts about spell crafting
      It could take up the slots for poisons and you can have 2(maybe more depending on if it evens works at first) and you create then using a potion system where they're always active or they aren't always active like poison cooldowns or a lorebook finding system to unlock recipes for new spells as others have mentioned like Mages Guild or the Order

      It's like everyone is ignoring what the Devs have done and said and can only see spell crafting through rose-tinted glasses. The hype is out of control and if it doesn't happen or isn't exactly what people want the outrage will be huge. haha

    This would be the kind of feature the game desperately needs to spark some positivity among experienced players and maybe even get a bit of a hype going. The standardization of skills they have been working on for a couple of patches is a pretty good framework to fit crafted skills into, so they don't become too powerful. However, there is also the risk of crafted skills ending up as re-skins of skills we already have. Adding utility while keeping the power in balance is certainly not an easy task.

  • @turtle-bot3049
    @turtle-bot3049 Рік тому +2

    Honestly, this system should have been done (even if it took last year and this year to get it right and do it properly, I would have 100% taken a system like this that took 2 years to develop and implement over ToT that we got last year.
    The way it was thought out and explained in this presentation looked incredibly easy to balance as well, especially with the current standardization we have now where spammables do X damage, burst does Y damage, DoTs deal Z damage, utility does something, healing is mostly standardized and ultimates have set values. They even went into things like giving skills a cast time to gain additional effects (the whole give and take that naturally creates balance).
    e.g. you pick a base lightning damage skill, non ultimate, single target, 28m range, spammable with no cast time and it will be self balanced because it will fall under the standard laid out under the current system, or you could go for an ultimate, AoE, fire damage, has a stun, with a radius around you, it would have either lower damage due to AoE and stun or it would have a higher cost to use it.
    If this exact system is what they were planning to do with their "hybridisation" changes (or standardization/homogenization of skills as some call it), then I am much more on board with the direction that hybridization has taken the game, since this exact system allows players much more freedom of builds while not creating huge unbalance issues since everything has set base standards. But that is only if this exact system is what they were going to implement with the hybridization/standardization changes they made.

    I had a notion that it was essentially an excised feature. There's something very edifying and intimate in getting into the code of a program. Myself and some friends love to take things apart and see what is going on inside, including indicators of aborted or possible future features. A couple of them saw what appeared to be frameworks for not just spellcrafting, but also a means of creating your own spell scrolls like in days of old. Educated guesses and nothing more, of course, but it did get me very nostalgic for my mark, recall, life detect, and chameleon spells. There were other things, but too garbled to make much sense out of.

    "Flexibility". I'll tell ya, they nearly calculated the fun right out of that game with how balanced everything is. I know games are supposed to be balanced but they almost made every choice you make, moot with how everything has a formula that scales. Like EVERYTHING. I enjoy the game and will continue to play for now but when they say Flexibility I wouldn't count on anything really giving you an advantage. Just flashy lights and colors who's damage output is exactly calculated so you don't do too much or too little.

    Whats with the big focus on spell craft i thought we were pushing for a year of getting some fixes and non game breaking bug also less constant combat change. Not another mini game. Less combat changes and a better reward stucture in game items not more crown crates and Not spell crafting atleast not now i could care less fix the game. I dont understand the push in this narrative. I understand this is something you would like Nefas but is it the priority of what the game needs ? If the issue is some new features how about some freaken console feature like a simple mini map when they add 20 types of crown crates the game doesnt break but when its regarding a feature its like whoa whoa hold on there buddy that will break the game.

      It's probably because the last 2 years chapter features were really boring for most players.

    Problem with spellcrafting is there are gonna 2-4 meta spells week 1, knowing zos there will be a grind like mythics, every player will be racing to get the meta spells week 1 and all the others will be worthless. This would do nothing but add a grind plus a few skills to the game, personally a chapter wide system should be much more than a few new meta skills and another grind.
    Also, it seems like too much work for Zos to dig up a ten year old abandoned feature from millions of lines of code.

    • @attinger117

      What do you mean by meta spells? Like players will figure out the best use of the system to make a spammable, a dot, etc and those options are just better than spellcrafted summons or buff abilities? I feel like it’s far too soon to pass judgement on a system like this without having any information on it. At the very least, worst case scenario, it will add new abilities to the game which eso desperately needs.

      I don't see how a system like what is described would become overpowered for pvp beyond what is already in the game.
      Especially now with everything being standardized under the zos balance spreadsheets. There would be some strong combos of effects for sure, but those would have that strength mitigated by high costs (7k+ resource cost to use), low damage (only tooltips for 5k damage with 7k+ spell damage), given a cast time to use it and/or being forced into an ultimate slot instead of a spammable ability (which gives it an inherent cooldown) or a mix of some/all of these trade-offs.
