The controversy over lootboxes stems primarily from their use in pay2win games. That is, the contents of lootboxes affect gameplay.
All premium items in Fractured are cosmetic, so lootbox controversy doesn't apply. Do whatever you want, I don't care lol
@darian said in Insurance / blessing system?:
@fibs I think this is bad, since it detracts from the thrill. If you're not taking risks, everything is easy, and easy means boring. Still I wouldn't completely dump the insurance idea. I mean, you could have items insured for a small weekly fee, and should you loose them, the insurance company could pay reparations. The fee would be established based on your reputation with the company. Still this could totally be done by enterprising players with the already planned in-game mechanics, so devs don't really need to create new systems.
I was hoping more for a very limited blessing system, primarily in that "soulbound" items (such as legendary weapons for The Prophesied Hero) can't be looted so they may as well follow you back to your respawn, yeah?
And also, knowing the decay time on corpses would be helpful. I presume corpses can't be looted by other players on Arboreus etc
@jetah said in Foundation Rewards Question:
@fibs I'd prefer if the foundation rewards (at least those that currently exist) stay exclusive to the Foundation. I want to see people needing to be active on the forums to get those items posted.
I absolutely agree, but it's possible for any of the Foundation rewards to not be strictly exclusive, especially if the Foundation system is removed partway thru development.
Fractured features item drop on death. Players who die have to return to their corpses to retrieve their gear and items.
This system was popularized by Ultima Online, which also featured a "blessed item" system in which certain items were NOT dropped on death. Later in the game's development, it became a bit too easy to bless items with increasing common blessing scrolls, and eventually players were able to bless items by repeatedly paying (trivial amounts) for "insurance", having to pay to re-insure each time they died.
Does Fractured have any conditions in which select equipment is not dropped to corpse, such as legendary weapons that soulbind?
@finland said in Foundation Rewards Question:
@wolfenlightstone you have to reach it by scaling up the foundation levels by being active on forum or in the future by joining as becker from kickstarter. I really doubt that you will get it by plaing. The game is planned to be B2P with a shop. So usually shop thingy are not achievable by playing espiacially mounts and cosmetics.
It's possible for some of the Foundation Rewards to also be purchase items in the shop, similar to how getting cash shop points directly is one of the Foundation rewards.
I don't know how high I can get my level before a release becomes available but we'll see :^
I'm gonna have to go with Rogue Galaxy (PS2). It's a Level-5 game.
Colorful without being too anime, good character cast, not absolutely loaded with dumb missables and other RPG pitfalls, generally fun and simple but not too simple combat system.
The dumbest thing about it is probably the item fusion system, which is esoteric and has secret conditions to get certain weapons. I think there was also an awkward build-a-factory minigame, it's been a while since I played.
@kralith said in Suggestion about hunger/thirst:
Like @Gibbx said, if the gods wanted to taste coffee like milk and sugar they had give them the flavor
Did the gods brew your coffee for you? No? Then I guess you should eat the beans raw lol
It's an unfounded rumor like the fourth Triforce piece.
Currently suggesting that Demons, Abominations, and any hypothetical demon-humans, must drink coffee black (to match their souls) while everybody else must drink it with something in it
@gibbx said in Suggestion about hunger/thirst:
this is possibly the worst analogy of all time.
@kralith said in Suggestion about hunger/thirst:
@Fibs analogy is very bad, it's like comparing apples with pears.
Only because you don't like the analogy. Black coffee is simply not finished. You're weird, like people who put ketchup on a plate and eat it straight.
Black coffee is like eating macaroni without any sauce or cheese
I'm only at 30-something lol
Go for quality, not quantity, so that you get picked for the weekly raffle! Potential +5 levels a week!
I'm expecting Fractured to have many job openings for goods movers and escorts / guards thereof. There may even be player banks and insurance companies (opening the way for amazing ingame scams ala EVE Online.)
Most buffs from food in video games are based on how enjoyable the food is rather than how nutritious. It's a morale / placebo system.
This game sounds phenomenal so far. I'm definitely gonna try it out 
I think a certain MMO wants that It's Like Dark Souls money
