@Frankol23pl said in Free key to Alpha test:

@Bhan yep i wish i can suport but 24 $ its too much to acess to Alpha. I thing a Alpha need to be at free not to pay.

Alphas are rarely a Free endeavor anymore...the supply of potential testers is a lot higher than the demand now. Your lucky to get much free Beta time anymore, and practically no Alpha.

That being said, keep watching the forums, as near the end of the testing phase of each Alpha so far, they have opened up a small window of free play to stress test the system with the increased load, usually 2-5 days worth, and you might get in on that. You can also experience the game vicariously by watching those of us who stream the game.

This is originally a Kickstarter, crowd-funded project, and thus, when you support the game, your actively paying for the game's development all around. There is no big Uber-company behind this, Dynamight is a small studio putting this together on a small budget. They've done better than they expected, but in today's gaming world, charging for Alpha access is definitely a thing.

Actually, such a feature has been suggested many times. I think the gist of it was, blueprints are placed so willy-nilly that it would quickly bog down all the resources of the game if you had additional resources going to track all the various blueprints in the map.

This is why others have made different suggestions that would limit the amount of derelict blueprints out there. Time limits on them if they aren't completed, and especially if they are never started, etc...

I live in Belarus, our monetary currency is closer to the dollar, for example, the price for ps 5, like everyone else, but similar products, with a price intended purely for Western / Central Europe, are bad for us. 150 euros, this is our 500 Belarusian rubles. For 5 rubles, you can buy food very well. For 30-50 rubles, you can buy yourself a good mouse with laser optics and 10,000 dpi, for 80 rubles you can buy a power bank from xiaomi for 20,000 mah, for 200 rubles you can buy a lower-middle-level phone, already for 400 you can buy a good one, and for 500-600 rubles, you can buy a laptop with a processor from Intel, and a discrete video card that can easily pull this game. So yes, for me, 150 euros for an unfinished game, despite the fact that the developers already have enough money and they just milk the players to the last cent, that's a lot.

130 Euros is 142 US Dollars right now, so I don't know where your prices are coming from. The USD and the Euro are fairly close at the moment.

As for what your stating about milking the players...that's not it at all. All games and game companies are out to make money, so they can keep improving on games and make more...that's basic economics, that means they have to value their product, and decide when it is worthwhile to put something on sale, or lower a price permanently, or add/remove an incentive. They aren't milking anything...they are standing pat on prices that frankly do not need adjusting.

Just because it's not sufficient of a deal for you, in your budget, doesn't mean its not more than worth what it costs. You just think of your needs/wants more than others, which is purely natural...and the developers think from a business standpoint. Overall, Dyna has been outstanding in trying to make as many players happy as they can, and they continue to do so, but they simply can't make all of the people happy all of the time, and still remain in business.

I'm one of the ones who said they have plenty of capital...RIGHT NOW. More exactly, I said they have already made well more than they expected and are not currentlly in drastic need, but that all companies can use additional funds. Even having said that, your complaint, although I'm sure the developers have heard, and even considered it, because that's the kind of people they are, will most likely not be fulfilled, because in the long and short run of things, it is not what's best for the company and the game overall. A sad fact of the matter is, in addition to countries like Belarus having a weaker monetary unit, they also have less impact on the global marketplace...and that is actually why their money value is so much lower than others. In other words, the potential gain is not worth the actual loss of revenue you propose. You want the better incentives, buy the better packages...I live on disability, and I've gradually upgraded my package since I first got it during the kickstarter. If I can do it, it can be done. I don't know what your budget is, but if it's that tight, then investing in a new up and coming game is probably not the best use for your rubles in the first place.

Please, people, it's like day 1 of Horse implementation. They started out with Server Request Overload, so let them do some balancing before complaining too much!

I'll be streaming:

https://twitch.tv/gamerseuss

I generally stream 6 days a week. I should be streaming quite a bit of Fractured too, especially on Nov. 7th for the Extra-Life Charity GameDay streaming.

Yes, so did EQ. If you download and play it now, it still has the ability to customize your GUI and save presets.

Ok, ty for comment, mb i buy this game, adept edition, but it's sad.

as a Kickstarter, your getting a heck of a deal, especially as the kickstarter campaign is technically long overwith. Normally, when you back kickstarter projects, 5-10 backings give nothing but a Thank You, and it's a minimum of 20 before you start to see any incentive. Right now, the company isn't even really in drastic need for sales, so they can wait until you can afford a higher tier anyway. They've already said they've made more than they ever expected.

Companies always need money, but not enough to add anything to the Adept pack. Wait, they might do a sale later that adds value and/or decreases the price.

A full list is already available in the Shop

@Meziljin said in The fun is about to begin!:

how much it last? only syndesia? no new races?

I wouldn't expect new races/planets introduced in Alpha until late, like just before Beta comes out. We're talking Mid to 3rd quarter 2021 at the earliest

What is boring for some is the bread and butter of other players.

I find PvP boring and irritating at best, many others revel in PvP play.
I like Skilling and practicing magic, whether it's magical combat, or sitting for hours enchanting, I can sink my teeth into either. Some want to go snipe others in PvP while others want to handle raid after raid after raid, and still others are quest junkies and want to complete every quest they come across.

Best thing about Fractured is that it's trying to provide a game for several tastes out there.

Plus the Human world is supposed to be the only world with any kind of Tech Levels...so any skills related directly to tech would at least be discoverable only on the Human world, that's not to say other races couldn't journey there and find some small knowledge in that regard.

@TrueCrimsonFTW said in Water system:

@GamerSeuss So something like an embassy systems?

pretty much

@TrueCrimsonFTW said in Water system:

@GamerSeuss What is your view on different tax for different guilds? I think that would definitely add to the politics.

A by guild system I wouldn't be a fan of. To me, that seems a little too fine controlled for what a port authority would handle...on the other hand, a Guild/Town could set other Guilds/Towns as either Friendly, Neutral or Unfriendly, and have an automatic +/- % added to the taxes in a town based on this rating, and a town that doesn't manage such a list would automatically treat everyone as Neutral

@d3Sync said in How will work the repair system?:

I don't really understand a system with no repairs. Meaning, no degradation. Will there be an alternative degradation system? If items remain in existence forever, then eventually, the game will be saturated with high level gear. Only in rare occasions, IE PvE, will items be lost forever. I can understand wanting to try something. But a player economy with no item sinks sounds impossible to succeed.

They said there would be no Repair system, not a lack of degradation system. They already have a degradation system in place actually. The only difference is, as gear degrades, you can't repair it, it must be replaced when it reaches 0% durability, that's all. A distinct item sink program, but without any kind of real dampener. I mean, you can use enchantments to increase the durability of an item, so it lasts longer, but this of course takes up one of the item's enchantment slots (or more, depending on the tier of the enchantment used)

@TrueCrimsonFTW said in Water system:

@GamerSeuss could you expand on this? I am very interested in your idea right now. I am not being sarcastic. Let's actually talk.

If you mean expand on the idea of goods being transported between continents, well, obviously you couldn't use overland methods to move such goods, but there is bound to be some goods native to one continent, that become needed in other trade markets, so if someone is enterprising enough, they would want to export to other continents, not to mention between worlds, and this would require a different paradigm when it comes to ports/fast travel. Going from one continent to another with tradegoods should be possible, but really just from specific port to specific port on each continent, and the same is true between planets, going from specific nexus point to specific nexus point, and these means of 'fast travel' of goods and services should incur a separate tax from just your standard gear on specially designed 'cargo ships'

This keeps with the immersion of the game and the player driven economy model, but allows the ports to mean something more when it comes to going between continents.

@TrueCrimsonFTW said in Water system:

I just wanted more economy systems

Yes, but they made it clear from the very beginning of proposing ports that they would NOT be another Economic option. It is nice that they let Governors of the hosting city profit on taxes from the fast travel, but that's pretty much it. Ports are a quick way to get from one side of a continent to another to go help your guild or join in a raid, but they are not a way to bypass having to actively move goods around the continent or whatnot. Between continents, they may let goods be transported, but they would of course incur a heavy tax as well.

They explained from the beginning that the Ports are specifically not for moving goods around as it would defeat their economy model, but instead, are a compromise on quick travel so that someone could join in with a raid with their friends from across the continent relatively quickly, or come do a rescue party kind of thing.

The entire economic system of Fractured is based around physically having to transport goods from one place to another overland. This is to prevent several of the issues found in other games where this kind of player driven economy breaks down because of mass marketing.

@Razvan said in Foundation level 400:

@GamerSeuss
If you're active on the forums, it's not that hard. I've only been here for a year, level 308. Haven't recruited anyone. Being active (daily points, weekly drawings, points from surveys and newletters) gets you a lot of points.

Oh, I'm sure, I spent the first couple years not very active at all, and I'm at lvl 222. I was just explaining how someone could make 400. There are actually lots of ways...the weekly point giveaway, filling out the after test surveys, daily postings, recruiting, its really not that hard, I just gave some examples of how to make it real easy.

@Scozzi said in Foundation level 400:

Myyyy goodness.. how!?

All you need to do is:

1. Have been with the Foundation system since the beginning
2. Post daily
3. Recruit several fairly active other members
4. Read, and Share all the News Articles

Please remember that for the most part, Founder Pack awards are for when the game goes completely live, except for things like Alpha/Beta Access
