Can't say I'm enthused about the crafting though. Few things turn me off faster than crafting.
What are you talking about, this game is an ArcheAge killer for sure.
But the damage of the weapons scales on a specific attribute designated to the weapon, so even though you can have your attributes in strenght and use a fire staff, your damage with the staff won´t be nearly as strong as someone who focuses on building intelligence. This allows for more variety when building your character.
That doesn't sound like enough variety to me.

No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
As I stated the impact your attributes have on weapon/skills damage is minimal. There’s a reason for instance everyone was carrying a fire staff regardless of spec.
Wow. That's called lazy coding.

Or is that intentional?
The fact this has builds and the ability for my to place attribute and skill points makes this a one of a kind type game and a rarity in this poiser genre. All the most popular games have ZERO character development I can control.
I am starting to realize when you guys say something is boring or not impressive you actually mean you dislike it because it actually looks like it requires a little thought and planning and actually has rpg elements beyond equipping gear with better numbers.
I know this specific article is the one that got me to actually look at this game. Before this I just assumed it was trash and tripe for console barbarians and had nothing to it. Now, even if it is one of those crafting games people call survival games I will still buy it and support it just because they actually have rpg character development I control - unlike every single popular mmo all you guys love.

It is just a simple take on what we have had in several games.So you'll skill up that particular weapon,it is a solid idea as a standalone idea.It branches into 2 choices,i am never in favor of point allotment,it is what we called 30 years ago as min/max and is always best to go min one and max the other.
In reality the entire design is typical,i can't really complain,it is not like it is a bad idea but i don't like point allotment and i don't like having to toss one choice away ,there should be a way to earn all the choices,it gives the player more options.
Overall though,you have to wonder how much it ruins pvp,then again i know combining pve and pvp together is a terrible idea.I would rather have them remove pvp entirely and just slowly add in PVE elements over time to keep us interested.Also there would less chance of this game using pvp to further exploit a cash shop.

Not that i spent weeks or months thinking about an idea but here is one....
If yoru handing out points,then remove points for pvp.This would be a near perfect way to "control" pvp.So basically what it does is remove a gang from just rampaging the entire game 24./7,they would have to not only take a break to build their points back up but they also make themselves vulnerable the more points they lose.
Only the aggressors lose points,the defendent perhaps gains a point for each kill.

I think it sounds interesting as well, but just wanted to note that a lot of western (and popular!) mmos have attribute and skill point choices that heavily shape your build. ESO, GW2, and D&D online are three just off the top of my head.
Totally agree. It seems, that lack of depth in progression of your character will be a problem. I don´´t need some crazy variations, but this one is just too simple.
>>PVP,this is why i keep saying you cannot mix pvp with pve becasue pvp needs to be closely balanced.So they just give each player the same 1 pt each time to allot.
If there was no pvp they could go crazy with cool ideas but soon one character has a better build pvp is broken.So this was their best option,a simple safe approach.
Then again if they removed pve it still wouldn't help pvp because they still need a simple way to balance it.I honestly can't say they are doing anything wrong,except tryign to mix pve and pvp togther is the only mistake.
