    That is actually true, and the reason why I'd like them to not use cooldown. But if they do, I trust them to implement it well. I won't rage.

    at least this will be in too. now they've to manage to balance their base crafting system around legendary items; e.g. crafting should be there to only create some basic stuff, masterworks, minor potions etc.

    No need to worry (I hope). They managed to keep a nice straight line so far. But if they want to compete with DFA, they need some increase, because the current trend will lead under DFA's line. Personally I predict the end result between the two graphs.

    They need something big, modtools or Ziets should do it.

    I don't know about Ziets. He is awesome, but how many people outside the Codex and RPGWatch really knows him and his work?

    They also managed to keep interest up nicely during the entire campagin so far. Something DFA and W2 failed to do (Actually making DFA's jump near worthless in comparison). Which means their update policy worked.

    Though, yes. I think if they announced modtools or Ziets this has the potential to jump quite a bit.

    People know Mask of the Betrayer. Which has considerable word-of-mouth (Always helpful for upping pledges). Not to mention he is an actual person that can be brought onto the project. This gives more of an incentive to donate than a nameless feature.

    But isn't it funny they offer TOEE combat system to vote for, when they clearly stated numerous times they are going rtwp?

    Anyway I voted: TOEE, Fatigue based system and I don't like the directions rpg's are headed in. :D Hope my vote brings some :incline:, because that's the only thing I registered for on their forums.

    I've been helplessly building momentum since I accidentally wandered into GD, had the temerity to try to explain that rape was a bad thing, and received unanimous disagreement. I should probably stop. I am getting plenty of material for the long-awaited The Gender Scrolls: Dongguard, though!

    wat

    It's a random poster. I don't think any of the polls are official obsidian polls.

    Crafting was only way to get decent gear for Warriors in the middle of Drakensang 2. I like how it was made there even the hunt for coal and rare ores but I don't reason why skilled weapon and armor smith would leave adventuring in the first place. This was very :obviously: craft then... Although RP smith who uses his adventures to advertise his products and gain rare materials would be interesting. I am sick of farmers and Unlucky Nobles.

    I wouldn't mind something similar to Ultima 5/6/7 kind of magic system where you have to make/mix spells from the reagents and then have mana/magic points.

    That was a pretty mild experience, all things considered.

    But that's true. Using a regular thief in an IE game? LOL
    Never played Frayed Knights but KotC didn't fix the resting problem considering the number of people in this forum who thought it trivial thanks to caster-supremacy combined with the crafting system.
