Spellcrafting ? What ever happened ?

JamieAubrey · August 2016

It was talked about and now no new news will we hear anything about this or has it been put to the back of the pile

Dude who's brainchild it was, the konk,left for greener pastures about 8 months ago now.

Also, they can't balance things they make, you expect them to be able to balance player made spells?

It's a system that is super delicate for game breakers, we know how those are handled

I believe the devs that wanted/envisioned spellcrafting left ZOS. Can you imagine the complications the current team would have in implementation and game-balance?

They realized what a balancing nightmare it would be (my suspicions) and basically cancelled it.

The part of spellcrafting I think would be cool is the chance to make your character thematically interesting. Like an all flame based sorcerer for example. The bad part is that it could so very easily lead to NB's with big shields or Sorcerers with stealth.

I think ZoS realized that in order for it to be useful it would potentially blow up the game, but if they didn't make it strong it would be useless. Rock and hard place, so they cancelled it.
