BioWare talks SWTOR's 1.2 crew skill changes

I've already read this and like the idea of adding a bit more complexity to the system and making each skill more useful. Heck my Slicer will now be able to make even more money as he sells the mats to make the Augments.

Glad to see crafting being made to be more endgame relevant.

Eve pretty much gives me the depth in crafting I need. I love TOR because its a super casual mindless play. When my brain hurts from Eve, I jump to TOR to just kill stuff and be guided down a story path.
Im happy crafting is getting some work, but it really isn't TOR's problems they should be working on.

Player interdependence is the key to a good crafting system.

Imagine a system where players NEED one another, and must communicate or even cooperate; such as actually GOING to a distant place and speaking with a particular individual or exploring some remote wilderness. This would be a great platform for acquiring the most rare components. Those who did so can rightfully say "My guild and I spent days and had to take down a pirate lord in order to complete X mission to get this thing." This should exist outside of the Flashpoint missions, so that acquisition is indeed a rare and treasured thing. It would give the character a sense of being "well-traveled" to have gone somewhere and done something not readily available to everyone else.

And it would make the universe seem larger, and more dynamic. Imagine that.

Quick - have an intelligent SWTOR conversation now while the GW2 fanbois are busy defending the GW2 payment model in the story above. hehe.

The fact that they are making ship droids more useful -- and that there will soon be a way to shut them up -- is welcome news indeed.

The crafting improvements are also extensive and encouraging.

SWTOR craft is ridiculous - mostly because amount of craftable and sellable items is limited to 1-10 per profession. Also there are just handful of players left on most servers so there is no actual market.

Subscription expired today and left sour aftertaste like if I paid $60 for beta-test of mediocre game. Next time I'll play it when the game will be F2P.

No use for Slicing?!

I am dissapoint!!

1. Look at how Galaxies did crafting.
2. Do that.
3. ???
4. Profit!

this actually might be the only thing they've done right since launch :)
