This is why community is important. Killing someone you know is so much more fun than killing some random nameless person.

Your guild is a hard-tie connection. I believe we were talking about weak-tie (or soft-touch) interdependence at that point. -

Star Wars Galaxies allowed players to blend resources at a crafting station to average out their stats. A mobile version could make sense for Crowfall, and it would introduce an interesting dynamic for considering whether or not marginal increases in quality are worth the inventory slot. -

Design changes: possible impacts on "skill based, no grind"
Isarii replied to courant101's topic in General Discussion
I've got to be honest, @courant101, while I normally enjoy your posts, this one seems a lot like you're narrowly focusing on one specific low-to-no context quote from early development, while ignoring everything else they ever said - even from the same time period. Crowfall was never marketed to us as a murderbox where we hop into the campaigns and kill with as little preparation as one would have in games like Call of Duty, which is what the thread title of "skill based no grind" leads me to believe you expected. Many of us wouldn't be here if it had been. Take, for example, Thomas Bl -

Friendly Fire isn't something you tack on at the end...
Isarii replied to freeze's topic in General Discussion
So no, they didn't say they were going to implement it wherever possible. They said you could be hit by friendly fire wherever friendly fire is possible These are two drastically different statements. Guess you're the one who didn't bother to read it. -

That's possibly in Guild Wars 2 - a game that doesn't even have real PvP. You're reading far too much into that to try to grasp some support. The fact that they've mentioned friendly fire before isn't in dispute. Whether or not it's a core or niche feature is. -
That's not how wikis work! That's not how any of this works! All kidding aside, I get it, but it's not really a wiki if that's how they're going to be maintaining it, lol.

I'm not sure that friendly fire is exactly as core a game mechanic as certain forum members seem to think it is. While Crowfall will feature it, it's going to be relegated to a few, almost certainly lesser in popularity, campaigns that the majority of the players will never touch. Experimental campaign features are exactly the type of thing they've been saying since the beginning will be tested in a live environment - even the ones they've been mentioning from the beginning. Friendly fire is not being tested now because it isn't part of the core game experience; it's as simple as that. -
Surely making more forum posts will help.

Well, they have repeatedly said they're focusing on combat first, so if I had to guess, the reason that we're not getting crafting updates is probably because they're working on combat.

One thing to consider that I'm not seeing mentioned here is that high TTK contributes directly to the prevalence of zerging in PvP, as it lessens the impact of of a coordinated smaller group against a disorganized larger one by making it easier to counter the smaller team's tactic as more time is allowed to do so. Where a surprise coordinated stack of AoEs may have flattened a large portion of a zerg in seconds before, a high TTK would give them a lot more time to regroup and recover, even if they aren't that organized of a group.

This wouldn't work. As timing is key, interrupts need to be quick to fire.
