The daily posting rewards only leads to obvious silly threads that get spammed & end up only using server space.

I am the 5th top poster in these forums with almost 1,8k posts now, and have never missed a day of post since I joined here.
Not a single one of my posts is "daily post" in daily thread. Each of the post I wrote is constructive and serves a purpose.

So no, daily requirement isn't a reason to post silly. The reason are the type of people that join forums.

If person wants to post constructively, he will, regardless of "dailies". If person wants to post silly, he will, even if there is no daily requirement.

Maybe when bitten and poisoned, you need an antidote, but antidote can only be made from snake of certain age, and same type that bit you.

If you do not find such snake in certain period of time (give it some more liberal timer, because we don't want too hardcore setting for this) you will die, and drop your stuff.

Grats all!

@Gothix it wouldnt be as active as it is now if it wasn't there tho.

Perhaps, part of the people for for sure be less active due to that. But I think those who are active right now because they like to post, would still post regardles, so forums wouldn't really "die".

But it might be little less activity yeah.

Anywhere in the world but on predetermined spots. And those spots are scattered all around the world.

It's not that community would stop being active without foundation.

It's just that people like having something to do "that stays on paper". It's the progression spirit in all the gamers.

(It's why I thought of extending foundation rewards, at least through something symbolic, such as new forum titles.)

Went and posted video of Fractured game play, with short description, to one of new WoW classic server discords, that has around 7k players signed for now.

P.S. They made a nice photo with me, where we all looked a bit tired

Nice post.

I would just add that in horizontal progression game, crafting effort isn't actually on crafting the gear (which was already stated it will be quick and easy), but on customizing it horizontally.

The more horizontal modifications you wish to apply to your gear (fit it more for exactly specific type of monster you will go hunt, for example) the more effort should it take.

So players will have easily obtainable gear, so they will never be "naked" for long even if they lost everything, but will still need to put in the effort to obtain highly customized gear, designed to be highly efficient for very specific purposes.

Need carnivorous plants near it though or mosquito will own us.

@Znirf said in When will shop items become available ?:

The bought items will become permanently bonded to your account, as you noticed all of them are pets or cosmetics things, so there is no need for a later refund.

You might wanna recheck that info because in all MMOs I've seen people test cash shop by buying lots of stuff they don't even need, just to see if it works. They are then later refunded on release (stuff taken away of course), so they can buy only what they actually need.

I'm still curious if some extra rewards might be added to foundation (at least some new forum titles) since large number of people is above level 200 now.

Every single player would benefit from "better" "more immersive" "super accurate" sounds, not just blind players...

I'm just saying that costs in development could be too great, and that this should only be considered if game becomes successful enough so this can be afforded.

Cash shop needs to be tested in game as well, so I'm sure at some point shop items will become usable for testing.
Question is only, when.

I still think it would be way too big investment, for something like this to be done pre-release.

If game is successful enough, alongside the upgrades later on, part by part, sure.

@Jetah could demon player be able to break free of control and shred human player to pieces?

@Triggy if you buy Alpha access, girls will definitely like you more! 100% proven and works!

About choosing your race:

If you are NOT a min-maxer then it doesn't matter, because you will likely more enjoy your game play if you simply chose the race based on your aesthetic affinities.

If you ARE a min-maxer then there is a lot more to consider then simply looking at racials...

For start, every race has different base attributes, and different attributes benefit certain classes more (table below):

Of course you will also look at your racials, but you should consider skill bonuses WAY more important then actual racial spells (that most people prioritize). Examples are Trolls +5 to bows or human +5 to swords/maces.

This is important in the endgame, when your weapon skill determines how often you will miss (important for fighting raid bosses), and +5 from your racial can mean that instead of 2-3 items of your gear with "+hit" on it, you can equip items with crit (or something else) instead that can then increase your raid DPS or tanking effectiveness (observe table below):

For example, as an orc hunter (300 bow skill) you need 9% hit on your gear to be hit capped (to get maximum DPS, and so that your tranq shots do not miss) while troll hunter with a bow will have 305 (due to racial bonus) and only need 6% hit to be capped. That means he will be able to have 3 gear items with crit more than an orc hunter, while still being hit capped.

This is valid for other classes, and other weapons as well.

There are also other factors to consider, some examples are Taurens bigger hit box window, or Gnomes low height preventing them being targeted by damage (but also healed) due to LOS issues, at same spots where higher races would not have this issue.

As a min-maxer there is LOT more to consider then simply looking at racials, so for a good answer at what race is best for you you should actually do some decent research yourself, and not trust most answers given to you on web by noobs (that think they are smart) who only look at part of this factors (hell, most of them are looking racial skills only)...

Hope this helped.
