I like it.. lets me build to need based on the toon. It has shortcomings though. They killed augment slot drops and you can't do set bonuses. Also, most of the really nice boosts/combos aren't available to crafting

Would be nice if they brought back some of the effects that got killed off right before they switched over the system.

Personally, I love the idea of full customization, and wish they would update so if you hit the top ranks of crafting, the limits of what can go where fall off. The caveat can be that it's BTA only. Would also like to see Quality bonuses added to the list, reserved for 390+ ranks, and Artifact bonuses reserved for set bonuses which only become available
@ Capped Crafting

Make it so an effect has multiple stages and the extent of the effects would be based on the level of the crafted item

Set bonuses could be derived from combining multiple effects from different items.

I know it's never going to happen.. but it would be SO fun..

When they finally manage to drive the stake into DDO's vampire heart, it will be on a crafting bench, and the stake will be made with 3 tiers of mats.

Umm, they already have 5 tiers of mats in the current Cannith Crafting system.

I always assumed they read this article and thought it was serious:

You know they'll half-ass killing ddo.  They'll settle for 3 tiers and call it an improvement.

When it dies, they'll cast res on the DDO's soulstone.

Just IMHO cannith crafting is in perfect position right now. Its easy and cheap to lvl-up to 250-300, you can fit stats you are missing and will be as good as most named until endgame. It really helps to catch up if you dont have, say, heroic gs or other good stuff. You still can get better random loot gear, yet it very rare to happen.

The only thing I want them change abot CC is broken spellpower on weapons. It've been turbined for ages and well known issue, they still dont give a fuck, even now, when energy dps so far behind.

Another issue is legendary slavers. There still no alternative for DC spellcaster, so they force people to farm it till they get old,or bother other folks to help with farm. Thats just terrible and totally not fun IMO.

Currently DDO's endgame is about higher skulls legendary runs both quests and raids. Dont know exactly when it got, I play only for two years, so seen it since started :b

I've farmed slavers so hard that I never want to go in there again.

IMO the next raid should have an option of applying a unique stacking craft to any piece of gear---sans the eldritch rituals.

Update it?  It deployed with bugs like all of their other systems and won't even see any bug fixes before ddo is a thing of the past.

Making the slaver items is pretty easy.  Getting the mats for the set bonus that only rarely drop in pt1 is the kick in the nuts.
