Het craftsysteem van TOR - Wow achtig?

Er is een verhaal verschenen over het craftsysteem van TOR wat nog wel gebaseerd is op speculatie. Men verdenkt Bioware er toch van dat TOR een WoW achtig craft systeem gaat krijgen en zeker geen SWG craft systeem.In dit artikel wordt de verschillende craftsystemen besproken:Ancillary crafting Ancillary crafting is very limited compared to games where crafting can be the entirety of a player's experience. In MMO games such as Blizzard's World of Warcraft, this type of crafting is included in the form of player professions that are secondary to a player's chosen class. Any player can train up these professions to produce consumable items or minor upgrades for equipment, but gear is gained primarily through the looting of enemies and not through the efforts of a crafter. This form of crafting—and I feel this is a major point in its favor as far as its inclusion in TOR—is actually very similar to the crafting and item upgrading that we have seen in BioWare's single-player games, such as Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age: Origins. Dedicated craftingDedicated crafting on the other hand, which I also tend to call a "sandbox" crafting as player-run economies tend to appear in open-world sandbox games, made a notable appearance in Sony Online Entertainment's Star Wars Galaxies. In SWG and similar sandbox MMOs (e.g., Ultima Online, Darkfall Online), the majority of items were crafted by players rather than looted from NPCs or given as a reward for quests. Crafters in these games were usually only crafters, having sacrificed their combat ability for crafting ability. In SWG, crafters would use large quantities of raw materials to construct items based off of blueprints. For example, a blaster rifle might need 100 units of X, 50 units of Y, and 25 units of Z, so a crafter would buy or personally collect the best types of X, Y, and Z in enormous qualities, put the raw materials and a rifle blueprint into a factory, and then walk away. When they would log back in hours later, they should have a number of identical, complete blaster rifles ready for sale to players who were supposedly constantly burning with desire for said blaster rifles. Three aspects of TOR make me confident that it will include the ancillary crafting of DAO and WoW rather than the dedicated crafting featured in SWG: the narrative focus of the game Zie hier het volledige artikel: LINK
