GZ everyone!

I would probably fit in as combat settler. Love housing, and love PvP.

"Convenience" can be different things depending on game mechanics and type of game.

For example, selling character bag space in a game that also has large housing storage and multiple teleports to the house would be a simple convenience, luxury that's not really making you "win" anything.

In a game that's full loot, and features manual travel and restricted character carry capacity, selling bag space would be P2W.

So depending on a game, a same thing can be either a P2W or a simple convenience.

If cash shop is made right, and features only a real convenience, that this will be good for the game. Just need to be careful what to put in shop.

I loved playing Wildstar, but I remember it was really buggy game. The core was lacking development quality.

But overall, the game was fantastic. Also, I really LOVED possibilities of housing design.

You can just go for those titles that seem interesting for you, and put in an effort to collect those.

I think that people who try to collect "everything" in game always have a painful life.

Capes you say... does that include only classic capes or modern capes as well? Capes that slide sideways down one shoulder... perhaps ponchos as well?

There will be animal taming, and animals will be able to fight for you. Independently of that, there will also be cosmetic pets available.

@Specter I don't think these points got added. Mine didn't change.

Congrats all!

Problem with gift cards is availability. They are not available in all the countries.

Lets take an example of already mentioned Blizzard gift cards. They are for example available in Poland, but not in Croatia.
Now, someone from Croatia has no way of using those, even if he would ask a friend in Poland to buy one for him and tell him the code, it would still not be possible, because Polish Blizzards gift cards are only usable on accounts that are registered in Poland, and have Poland chosen as country in settings, during account creation.

Now of course that player from Croatia could do a "few steps" to lie that he is from Poland, and register his account as polish, and then use gift cards from there (which he would still have difficulty buying if he doesn't want to do online shopping in the first place) because he would have to physically travel to Poland to buy one every time, or have a Polish "sponsor" friend.

So you see even a company as big as Blizzard has certain issues with gift cards (due to monetary conversion issues). So gift cards are not in any way a good solution to anything.

Now imagine a small company, get engaged in gift card business... I don't think so.

No details yet. Everyone is waiting patiently. Well, some are waiting a bit less patiently.

Guys, you are winking at each other a bit too much. It's concerning.

Wait, did I just wink there? Uh...

Programming isn't that great anymore. People from India will code you online anything you want for a dollar, and all companies rent coding services super cheap online now days, at mercenaries.

You would be better off with learning carpentry.

@Roccandil will indeed play beastman, that's why he promotes "PvP only" item loss.

I think, on the other hand, PvP should in fact extend the item duration. As you clash your blades with someone your sword becomes sharper, and more experienced.

Whoever doesn't PvP, or PvPs only little, his gear should decay faster. The more PvP you do your gear decays slower (but it can be stolen). It's balanced like that.

@Xzoviac said in Anti-Hack/Cheat/Bot:

The difference between bank security and a random game is completely different, online companys get breached and the Db get hacked all the time, banks do not

Banks get hacked too, don't you watch the movies?

You just need to create octopus trojan with 8 binary tentacles and steal a bank employee desktop password by posing as mailman.

Gear decay makes sense, to keep economy going and the need for new crafts active.

I only hope existing gear will also be able to be broken down to basic components (perhaps getting lesser amount back, depending on what is items current durability).

Well most topics have been discussed already "to the death" so it's either a "chill time" or drama arguing about stuff we don't know enough about yet. I prefer chill.

That being said, everyone can use new threads to post some of their own interesting suggestions. Devs surely follow the community, and if there is a suggestion interesting enough, that fits into Fractured philosophy... you never know what will catch devs interest.

@ManosMer

Everyone will be able to craft his own equipment, but this is a full loot system, and players will be loosing all their stuff when they die in PvP and enemies take it from them.

Some of the players will put an effort and craft own new equipment all the time, sure, but many of the players that want to focus on PvP and not on crafting (constant re crafting would take a lot of their time) will chose to just PvP most of the time, and use the money they gained to just buy new gear when they lose old one, and then go do more PvP instead of "wasting time" on crafting it themselves.

This is why crafters will not be out of job.

If I'm not mistaken, and, of course, if it doesn't change in any way, you can have 3 character slots by default. You can then have more character slots by buying higher level tier pack, and most likely you will be able to purchase extra character lots in cash shop later independently.

Each character will have it's own progression (knowledge, skills, game play related character abilities), but cosmetics purchased in cash shop (or through tiers) will be account bound.

Also you will be able to have one house on each planet, so if you want more houses, it's convenient to have alts of different race, as your evil aligned demon will not be able to reside on Arboreus, so you will need a beast character if you want house there as well.

Ok then, gaming company can hire Liam Neeson to go FIND cheaters!
