Crafters name on items

Postby PappaPapula » Sun Dec 24, 2023 4:16 pm

not sure if the idea came up already, but it just struck my mind.

why not mark crafted items with the name of its creator?
it sounds like a little change but the mindset behind it could change alot.
it could encourage some sort of "crafting-pvp". who makes the best swords etc..
"wow you got a smithy hammer of XYZ!? that mustve costed alot!"

maybe even leads to those crazy faction industry guys to sell out their insane ql tools, i mean it spreads their name!

Imagine getting koed on charter Bay or Dew, get stripped naked only to find out creamy cock in your inventory made by "СommitViolenceAgainstMinorities".

Ragnarok Online used to do this. Cool idea in theory until it puts a target on your back to be raided.

Example Scenario:
Gargamel gets knocked out after buying what they didn't know was one of w15s highest quality Boar Spears from a neighbor
The crafters name on the item is Maramasa
The attacker turns out to be part of Snails crew
Snails crew finds where Maramasa lives and raids cuz Anvil Upgrade

I like the idea, but the example above is why I think it's not a good idea in this game.

I think no problem if it will be opt in. For example creator of item could add short description with "made by X" or something alike.

This small things actually make game more fun and memorable, no? The game doesn't even have a chat filter, so another form of abuse isn't a big deal...

This - if you're confident your base is secure enough against raiders and such, sure, put your name on the item you crafted. Could even probably just reuse the livestock brand mechanic for it.

Some artisan credo for people keep on mass produce high quality items name or brand mark could be good.

Just making some shit for your daily needs with your name everywhere is kinda cringe.

Sadly, the HnH playerbase will only use this to troll. Expect tons of, hatecrime, racist and nazi references.

Yes, that's why you shouldn't get any salary because for sure you will fund terrorism.
