Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General When is the crafting system getting patched

I know what's in my own game, where I went, and what I did, and what I've done, thank you.

If you and anyone else want to continue insist that you know something about my game when you don't have that information, have at it. But you can argue with yourself then.

I'm not debating this with people who insist on trying to tell me information they cannot possibly know, while trying to use some random excuse to justify themselves.

Enjoy talking to yourself!

I haven't gotten that far yet so I'll check that out when I get there. Thanks.

tx, most of us here have played the game for much longer, and more times than you have.
When we say there's always a hammer there, it's because the hammer is coded to be there every single time no matter what.
If the hammer genuinely was not there (at either of the two places), then its because your play through is bugged and all hammers have disappeared from your game.
I personally find it to be more likely that you simply missed them, or can't find them in your inventory, or accidentally sold them. Those are all mistakes that I have made before. By contrast, I've never heard of someone having all hammers disappear from their world.
But hey, it's possible. Maybe you discovered a new bug. There's no way for anyone but you and the Larian bug team to know for sure.

Tx, you do realize that hammers in the game are considered weapons, right? As such they will not appear in the "Ingredients" filter of your inventory. They will appear in the "Equipment" filter.

That being said, there absolutely is a hammer at each location stated previously in this thread. They are not random, and will be there EVERY SINGLE play through. So, the fact is you either missed them, don't realize that you already picked them up, or you have some very strange bug in your game that affects hammers, which is highly unlikely.

Or, you are simply a troll.

Judging by the fact that he is particularly ignoring the chance that his game / saves may be broken and he should try to fix that, I don't know where you'd get that assumption from.

How about everyone just get something straight right now because this is getting moronic.

I never said I had an issue with not having a hammer, in fact I don't even care...If I get one, I get one, if I don't, I don't...That's not even what this topic was about. All did was point out how the crafting system needs a patch and why. This whole not having a hammer just happened to be the example I used. If I had I known how stupid people were going to get with this whole situation and continually try to contradict me, then I never would have even mentioned the hammer situation at all.

So for the last damn time:
There are no hammers in my game ANYWHERE OK! It doesn't matter if they're supposed to be in places, it doesn't matter if they're weapons, the hammers are not in the places people said, I didn't miss them, I didn't overlook them, I didn't pick them up and sell them, and any other thing anyone wants to throw in there, for whatever reason, they simply aren't in my game for SO FAR..that's all there is to it and that cannot be made any clearer...

Furthermore unless you're in my game to actually see this first hand, quit trying to justify what you're saying and trying to contradict me with idiotic nonsense excuses that cannot be applied and get over yourselves already!

I'm now done with this discussion.

Then you should be posting a bug report. Or just post a .zip with your save file, so we can see for ourselves how right you are.

No need to be hostile, just tryin to help. Peace!

Tx, point taken. However, if you truly cannot find a hammer in those locations, then you have a seriously bugged saved game, and you SHOULD NOT continue. Seriously, if all the hammers are gone from your game, who knows what else is affected.

Try this, start a new game, and get your characters into Cyseal (the first town). It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Go to the forge behind the abandoned Blacksmith's house. If there is a hammer there, your other game is bugged.

OK, this guy is pure troll. Check out the other thread he started:

http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=531158&nt=2&page=1

Doesn't mean he's troll. Just means he's kinda odd. Plenty of odd people on the internet.

If you happen to read what I said in the topic itself I found tons of hammers and not one repair hammer, but on this play through I found a ton of repair hammers, but no hammers. So I personally don't believe they aren't in the game, I just think the game is just being finicky is all.

I also never said ALL my hammers were gone, I said I haven't come across one yet. There are still a few things I can try

There is one place someone mentioned that I haven't been to yet (Something about a poison garden) so I'll see if it's there. I
I can also just keep seeing if I can get one from a chest or merchant by using the quicksave reload trick.

But let say there are no hammers in the game and it is bugged. Is continuing on without one really going to affect me being able to play? Is there some place I cannot progress in the game without one? If not, then does it really matter if I find one or not?

The game is not being finicky.
If the hammers were not there, it's because the game is bugged. Not finicky. Bugged.

And if the game is bugged then you should stop, submit a bug report, and start a new game. If you still can't find a hammer in the new game before you fight the orcs, then contact Larian regarding your permanently bugged copy of the game.

Can anyone prove that the hammers are supposed to be there? Where is the information that says these are set in stone.. Just because people have them there doesn't mean they're a permanent part of the game always there. And just because people have been playing this doesn't mean anything when it comes to this. Also working for a company doesn't mean you know how the developers programmed the game either.

If they didn't program it or have the schematics of the game then they have no business saying things are a fact they cannot possibly know that, and then use the excuse they've been playing the game to justify themselves. I also don't care how many people
all say the hammer is supposed to be there, no one has any actual proof. A bunch of people saying something isn't proof, that's just people agreeing...So to avoid any bullshit. I go by actual facts not a bunch of people in agreement. because if I wind up pulling a hammer out of somewhere then it proves the game isn't bugged.

I wait until there is verifiable proof there is a problem, right now there is no proof it's just people with a statement,

NOW TO BE VERY VERY CLEAR I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, I'm simply saying what people use for justifying themselves about certain things isn't valid and hearsay is to be taken with a grain of salt until what they say has been proven. Which can only be done by a developer themselves saying so, or show the schematics for the game showing it. Anything else doesn't matter.


Because I don't care enough to start the game over and I already stated 2 times that I don't care if I get a hammer if it doesn't affect me playing the game and I don't need one to progress then there is no point in starting over

Everyone else seems more bothered by this than me because I'm not even bothered by the fact I don't have a hammer.....I've made it this far without one so it's obviously not needed.
So again if I pull a hammer out of a chest or somewhere else, then that proves the game isn't bugged and why I don't listen to a bunch of people all in agreement saying something I make my own decisions based on what I personally go through not what a bunch of people are saying

You're wasting everyone's time with this thread.

It's funny how people change their tune when they realize they could be wrong and really aren't arguing with facts.

But anyway this thread is about how to make the crafting system better, and not about lack of hammers. The thread was perfectly fine until someone started this bullshit with the hammer, and changed the topic.

Well, nothing easier than that



If that's not there in your game, you either picked it up, or you have a bug.

Aside that I agree with the original post, and I am no fan of the crafting system either. If only that were as easy to fix as it is to show where hammers are...

Hmm, seems they deleted this guys' posts over at this other forum I go to. Makes it hard to judge for oneself.

But the point is, I knew this username looked familiar.

That's impressive. He made 39 posts on the POE forums and never even got past level 1 on any of his 3 characters.

With any luck, his eyesight is based on movement and this thread can die if we stop bumping.

If you choose to delete it doesn't show; and he was banned before the feature to show characters, so there would be no way to tell if he really never had one.

But if he did have one, he raged and deleted it over something.
