View Full Version : Suggestion: While in Craft mode

When a crafter is working at an anvil station and in crafting mode, they are stuck with a narrow view in front of them (first person) for 20 seconds, they can not see whats going on to the sides or behind them.

My suggestion would be to give crafters the ability to scan around them while locked for 20 seconds, or give them the ability to move camera view behind them so that they have time to get out of a bad situation before they are totaly surrounded.

What has been happening is that a large group of players will quickly surround a crafter when they start pounding the hammer and very quickly kill the person working at the station who can not push through the group to get away, a few of the attacking group stay out of combat then quickly loot the crafters grave. I have seen this happen frequently over and over again, while none of those doing the killing go red ... they make sure to have very good standing before doing this by killing their guildmates of another none alliance race multiple times.

I hope this will be looked into and a change made, I do not mind being killed, it happens to me often but usualy by my own fault .... however being killed in this way there is no protection against, and asking a friend to watch my back while Im stuck for 20 seconds making 1 item each time is silly and should not be required.

Right click while crafting, then you should be able to look around while still crafting. Just don't move.

One more reason to find a trustworthy player city and craft there ;)
Player imposed laws > game laws

also this.

If you are crafting something shouldn't you be focused on the craft at hand and not be looking/scanning around? This is how work/crafting related accidents happen by not being focused on what one is doing.

So I guess that means I am not in favor of being able to look around.

Try getting on top of the anvil before crafting, or bring a shield while crafting.

True...but it's a game...

Unless the crafting in the game requires a lot of focus from the player (looking at the progress bar?) then yeah sure why not but it's just click...wait for item to be created, yay you're done. :D
