Minor Ideas on crafting expantion: Metal, Wood, Cloth etc.

LuxLunae · January 2015

Now this idea might be stupid to most of you but I want to hear what you think about this.

So when we eventually have player homes/guild homes in the game.

Should we be able to use the raw materials to craft furniture? (colors, size, etc)

Should we be able to enchant the furniture? (Enchanting the bed so that when you rest in it it gives a timed buff.)

crafting V-pet and mounts clothes/ armor (just for show, to discern from other peoples pets. Was there an elder scrolls with horse armor or something?)?

any other ideas or is this a dumb idea?

Should we be able to use the materials to craft? Sure why not, it could add a range of furnishing options, especially if we can craft furniture in racial styles, Breton Couch, Dunmer Bed, Nord Wall Hangings.

Should we be able to enchant the Furniture? No, our houses should be our cosmetic havens, but if we start adding enchants then they become mandatory, which ruins a great deal of the charm. I want my Home to be there because I want it, not so I can get a 5% buff to health or XP.

I would like chest-of-drawers and Weapon & Armour racks though, store stuff, and display nice but not needed gear.

We should also have the option to let other see our homes too, but make it so they can't touch anything, not even the plate of sweetrolls I leave out (Bwahaha)

I somewhat agree with you with the enchanting but I was thinking like one of those food buffs..that increase stamina points by 9 for 35 mins. Which can only be used once per day. Something very minor. I might have thrown the word buff a bit loosely as they have changed what it means in 1.6.

Ok, if it was comparable to food buffs (but obviously not a food buff) and we were limited to how often we could get it (say once or twice a day, to stop people overdoing it) then it could work.

Although I read on google people say fishing is worthless, what do you think about using the crafting small boats (crafting it more will dictate how much fish can be held or something) and fishing rods (the better it is built the larger the fish it can handle) to fish out at large fishes further off the shore. Then turn them in for money or some type of contest?

Or should fishing just die off?

Agree with all your points. The best part about player housing would be to show other people, and have your own designated area to customize as much as you wish.

Fishing is actually receiving a boost in 1.6, as you can skin the fish you reel up, for then to sell them at a higher price than before or use them in various recipes.

Yes, we should be able to craft basic furniture once there will be homes. I can easily see woodworking gain some new things to carve from dead trees... maybe some of the furniture might also require a bit of cloth or leather (beds, couches, etc)

No, the furniture should not give any special perks through enchantment, if anything, the apartment itself should offer those benefits.

Of course, lots of other furniture will likely come with archievements, much like dyes. Tropies and the like. Who wouldn't want to hang a beastie head on their wall now and then to show off their hunters prowess? Possibly also a picture to hang on your wall for completing a map/questline and stuff like that. And of course, some furniture might be dependent on your character and alliance. Guess we'll se, someday.

That's what I was thinking too. Should making the furniture be able to put up both wood working and cloth levels? Or should it be that we must have a certain level in order to make the furniture? or both? or neither?

Gidorick · February 2015

I have a feeling furniture will be more a Cash-shop type item. Hopefully we will buy the designs in the cash shop to make in-game.

One idea I thought was cool that you had @LuxLunae‌ is vanity pet "accessories" I would love to be able to outfit my Beta-Monkey!

or my horse...

TheShadowScout · February 2015

I am pretty certain, horses like that will someday be possible. They are already starting selling special appereance mounts in the cash shop...

Although it certainly -would- be cool if your horse did not change its "gear" visuals with its stats, but had those seperate... stats, AND craftable horse equipment to give further bonus instead.
Say, mount skill taking speed/stamina/capacity to 50, or 60, or whatever... and then you can choose to slap metal armor on your horse for extra attack protection, or you choose the cloth saddle bags for extra carrying capacity, or the light leather racing saddle for extra speed... independent from your horse color. And coming in different versions for different bonus size... different styles like all clothes... except its only one gear per horse. And you can switch that gear at your stable... mix amd match the gear and the horses you have for your desired look&stats...

I think you're onto something. By removing the stats from the mount they COULD let us outfit the mount to have the stats of that specific mount higher. Good idea!

Well they've said we will eventually be able to cook with the fish we catch, so I have hope for fishing still.

The problem with boats is they require extra coding, which would slow down the game, after all we would want them to bob and move at the proper speed (no speed boats). I personally think we have other games for that, fishing simulators for one, which do a better job than this game would, and give a better fishing experience.

Although I would like to see the fishing have more complexity, having to react to the fish, letting the line out a bit, etc.

Would it be better if there was a small ship on the boat docks that can be rented that just warped into the middle of nowhere for that person? this way it won't have to process anything but the player and the boat.

Also would you like fishing to include [WASD] or just keep it simple as it is?

Like if the fishing pole moves left hit the A button to move it right and if the fish moves forward hit the S button to pull it back. Then tap the slash button to keep reeling it in. Or is that too much interaction?

Yeah I wanted that too because when I was walking in game I thought that I had my monkey out. I was wondering why it wasn't following me anymore. I later found out that mine was lost somewhere in the world. Warping usually fixes that lol.

newtinmpls · February 2015

Okay, first off, Dunmer wall hangings would be much better than Nord ones.

Second, I would like to be able to mount my Longfin and display it to visitors to my home.

If it was in a seperate fishing zone, the boat might work, the problem is that you would get a lot of people doing it, some would just want to sail, not fish, not sure how that would play out.

But you would get a lot of people doing it, which as the PVP crowd will tell can cause huge lag (although that may have been down to people crowding very close rather than just population).

It's a nice Idea, but I think the lag it might cause would put the Devs off.

Something like that, you have a guage for the line strength, and you get move the rod left and right, and reel in the fish, or if it gets too strong let it out a bit to tire it out.

Something we can actually call fishing, not just press "E" when the float goes under. Mind you I appreciate this might cause lag too, and might be why they haven't done it, but if that's the case they should tell us so.

In MY day we did fish that way. Bamboo poles and bobbers and all. Frankly if you want all that casting and reeling and such, go play Fallout or some higher tech game....

Or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
(wouldn't call it high tech, but that has that style of fishing)
