This indeed sounds amazing, not only for disabled people, but having better sound experience benefits everybody really.

I'm just concerned about what kind of stress on the game would be produced by every single thing having unique sound. And what kind of space on players disk drives would that consume (not gonna mention on how long development time would be extended by doing this).

I'd personally be interested in seeing this upgrade down the line, post release, if game shows successful enough to warrant the investment, and if tests show game wouldn't be tangibly more stressed by this.

Having to type gets you killed lol.

With a little bit of awareness, you can choose when not to type.
For example when huge bear is looking at you and saying "grrrr"...

@Pwnstar said in Roadmap To Alpha 2 & Gamescom:

Do people on the Leaderboard get a chance to be in the Alpha?

People who advertise Fractured on various gamer web pages (or other similar places) do. Promote Fractured and post a screenshot that shows where you did it in appropriate forum section, and you get into drawing.

Congrats everyone!

Everything! I love the pace of an overall progress.

If you would like to get early look and sense how the game feels in this early stage, then sure, getting early (at least beta) access is worth it.

If you would rather play the full game right away, you will have to wait until game is released, but as things appear now, it will definitely be worth playing.

Of course. I can't remember seeing any MMO where private chat over long distance wasn't possible.

Additionally all the standard "stuff" will be available, like party chat and guild chat.

@ROCKARMY No, every character will have all the spells available to him (after he spends a long amount of time to learn them all, of course).

Different races will have different racial bonuses, and (maybe) some racial spells. But nothing extensive as you are suggesting.

It's too much to write about in one short post.

We have seen some armors, spells, PvP combat, housing and decoration, crafting (with workstations), plenty of monsters and more.

The best source of information is news section of this website, and watching videos that were posted by various players.

@Bardikens said in Bardikens' Compendium of Suggestions Part 3: Towns/Cities:

What would you like to see in terms of bribery?

I haven't given it a detailed thought, but perhaps some housing locations would be off limits for "regular citizens" and only available for VIPs, and VIP status you can either get by doing stuff for the city and getting rep with the city, or bribing current NPC major (expensive), which may also fail, and you get consequences in that city, your rep getting a drop.

Stuff like that. Something that would have bonuses if done well, or drawbacks if it fails. Perhaps chance of bribe working could also depend on your current city rep.

Everything looks nice! I like that elemental design the best.

Nice. Unfortunately this is too far away for me to visit (at that date), but I wish a great fun to all of you that will be there! Wish I could be there with you!

@Tuoni it will be easy to pick starting gear and go run around, however customization of that gear to fit for different purposes (go hunt specific hard fire boss) might take some effort.

Not all gear will be easily replaceable I think.. but no gear will be more powerful than some other, just fit for different purposes better, this is why it will not be hard to get back into fight, even if you lose everything, but once you get your general gear, then you will again need to spend effort to create customized gear... or go steal it from someone else through PvP.

I might be wrong, but this is what I think how it will be.

I would love Fractured to draw rom (original) The Secret World principle, where players knowledge and skill was the most important factor in battle.

2 players with exact equal gear (and access to same skill wheel), just different in their deck building skills and knowledge/ playing skill... one player could do 500% more DPS then other one, and same goes for other aspects as well, tanking ability, and so on....

Gear being completely equal, there can still be HUGE difference between players... and this is what I am hoping for.... for progression to be not in gear, but in players knowledge and ability to be efficient at playing.

I think fun of the Fractured will be not about who has "better gear" but about who has gear more fitted to his build and situation.

It should be about diversity, and creating different builds to counter other builds and creating (customizing) gear to betrer fit your current deck.

Player should then own many sets of gear (and builds) and appropriately use them.

Fractured should be about knowledge and skills of the player. Gear will only be used as supplement to that.

Nice post again.

Indeed, more developed town mechanics would most certainly lead to more engagimg gameplay, and differently ruled cities would benefit from different management system.

@Bardikens what do you think about possibility of bribery mechanics when it comes to NPC cities? With player run cities that possibility is already given.

I doubt, as that would go against manual travel focus, and would allow people to spawn an army to them easily, even with a cool down, you would have 50 players, each one spawns just one more, you now have 100 players.

I'm mostly enjoying to beginning.

Huge number of people rush the lands, still no high levels, so no gankers, just a lots and lots of low level open world PvP (of course alongside questing / leveling). It's why I'm rolling PvP server.

Anything that doesnt feel grindy can be nice. It just needs to fit the town and who has political power in it. Politicians can be good and evil so things that you do to raise/lower rep in particular city may be different.

People should get informed about the city before starting doing things without care. Also a knowledge system may come into play here somehow.

@Jetah As a highly developed mage perhaps, you might depend less on what you are holding in hands, albeit it may always have some impact. As a beginner (and medium level) mage your "focus weapon" would certainly have more impact on potency of your spells.
