Kouensha Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Before anyone says anything, I realize that this question may sound incredibly dumb and I apologize. I'm very hesitant to get into this game ATM because of the changes to crafting coming with 1.2. Mostly talking about increased drop rate of schematics. I really enjoy crafting in MMOs and I'm wondering whether its good to hold off and wait for 1.2 or just go ahead and really get into the game. I have played around with the classes and stories but the better chance however slim it may be to get increased drops for schematics is holding me back. So the main question is, should I just start really getting into the game and find the schematics later on or wait until 1.2 to really get started? I realize how dumb this question may be but it has been bugging me these past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urothefox Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would say get into the game now. With the changes coming down the pike, I envision a revitalization (to some extent) of crafting. There will be price gouging. Best to get things squared away on one or more toons before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyksak Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Honestly (and sadly) if you really enjoy crafting and consider it a substantial part of your MMO experience you Will be dissapointed with this game 1.2 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphik Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Definitely play now, especially if you have your Legacy already. The patch shouldn't be too far away, hopefully only a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to stack both Legacy lvl to over 32 and tonne of Creds =D PS: My suggestion is do not craft but gather (scavenge, artifact, biochem) while lvling and choose your crafting at lvl 50. I did that with 6 out of my 8 alts and I have so much mats its unbelievable. Edited April 3, 2012 by IPaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to pick up one of the soon-to-be-removed speeders for him before hand, since he's going to be my main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is great, Myself and my family play 6 days a week, raid Wed and Saturday and absolutely love the crafting system. We left WoW, EQ2, EQ, Aion and AOC to play this game and we do not regret it. Perhaps you can take your bitter pills elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaMayhem Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 You should be hitting the game hard saving up mats and credits for all the things 1.2 is bringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two sides to every coin... just like everything isn't doom and gloom, everything isn't sunshine and puppy kisses either. The crafting system can use a lot of work, and thankfully they are beginning to address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this game also, but I am not blind to the fact that some parts of it need work. The crafting system in SWTOR is bad. I have seen worse but there are a lot better systems out there. Now OP, I would start now. Decide what crafting skill you wish to do and then just concentrate on building up mats for that skill. Do like a lot of people do and hold off actually crafting until you hit 50, just gather until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDiggy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My advice is not to get into the game at all. All but a handful of servers are dead or dying. People are leaving in droves, and for good reason. Stay very far away from this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you arrive at this conclusion that (All but a handful are dead or dying)? Can you pick my winning lotto numbers for me? You seem to be on a roll....
