The main purpose of crafting stations should be mass production of reagents and commodities.I would like to see an option to create 20 flasks or 100 potions or thick leathers at once, also mass milling and creating inks comes into my mind. But requiring a crafting station to create armor or weapons would be a bad experience, when you need to rotate between bank, auction house, and now the crafting station as well to do that.Also Enchanting and Jewelcrafting should be possible everywhere, to create item upgrades inside Dungeons and Raids for the group on demand.Update: it would be a nice upgrade to the auction house to send purchased stuff to the bank directly (the mailbox would only contain the auction house letter that the purchase was done and the items were sent to the bank). Just add a checkbox to the auction window to send to the bank.
Listen up, nay sayers.There wasn't a lot New World got right. But one thing they did get right was crafting. The most hype thing in the world was standing around at a crafting table rolling items with your friends, streaming in discord, losing your mind when you pull out a BIS item. It was a great social experience.If Blizzard can replicate even a portion of that with the work orders and crafting tables systems then we're in for a wild ride. But that's the question, can they do it.
I don't like this change
Blizz what are you doing? Immersion that inconveniences isn't going to be popular.
Reminds me of having to find a moonwell to craft mooncloth.
Rogues gonna be lurking around the crafting stations.
People acting like anvils and forges weren't a thing this whole time, hilarious. This is fine and as long they're common enough at fp and added to old main cities, hardly noticable. Keep flasks, pots, cauldrons, and chants off of it and it'll hardly be inconvenient.
This is exactly why I was against classic being a thing, because now they think retail players will like these inconveniences. It adds nothing to gameplay besides useless padding. Terrible change. It's not suddenly more immersive when you arbitrarily stop being able to do something except if you are standing next to someone else. I remember when they tried this in legion with just some things for quests and everyone hated it, so they didn't bring it forward. They keep having to relearn the same lessons over and over again.
Runescape vibes. Sounds good to me in theory; looking forward to see how it'll play out practically.
So it's like BC and Vanilla then where you can only make certain things at certain places? As long as it's in the main city I guess that's ok.
