We should start a Poll, Poll, Poll!

Hey some bugs might be fun.

Like for example, everyone always respawning in the same exact spot... on Tartaros.

They also reserve the rights to move it to December.

Patience, young padawan, have, you must.

@kralith it can be a haiku!

@TheRippyOne I discovered few things about that and leveled up in poll levels in the process.

For example, do not use dash - sign in the option text, poll doesn't like dashes.

@TheRippyOne good, good, feel the dark power of polls run through you!

@tulukaruk angels are supposed to turn the other cheek, and not use swords.

What should we expect?

Money for nothin' 'n chicks for free.

@esher said in ️Fractured mini-game:

(but, is it really pvp if the ennemy is chained to a wall and can't defend himself ? )

Unless you are unlucky (not precise) and your dagger hits the chain and frees the target.

Hmmm... how about ONLINE tavern poker, where players in taverns across different planets can play together (but to connect they need to open a portal nearby first, so a signal (very loud yelling) can pass through).

@albuswolfer said in racial abilities:

@target so, will need to be trained, or not? because if humans don't have nothing, not sure how they will balance it

Humans use bodily implants (steampunk tech), that they will not have from start. They will need to learn it and build it.

@muker said in ️Fractured mini-game:

@esher Well, we're talking about mini-games, not pvp safe

Hmmm... PvP poker... using cards... and daggers.
(in fact that was more or less an actual poker through most of history, and even today in some places)

Hopefully in official Classic people will be more interested in AV.

I played around on private servers, and people were bored of AV there. They only did it until they finished reputation grind to get the rewards, and then they never joined again.

Problem is AV doesn't give much honor (it's not used to rank up in your PvP ranks). AV is for rewards, and for the fun of it if you like it. To rank up PvP you need to spam other shorter battlegrounds.

People on private servers usually only played AV when it was AV weekend and rep/honor gains were increased.

@gapaldur said in Just a few questions.:

Were certain parts of the map influenced by real life?

This one is simple to answer. No artist is creating something from nothing.

Every artist is using his imagination, and his imagination has grown through his life from many experiences gotten from real life.

So indirectly, all artist works are influenced by real life.

Now you could say that Fractured terrain is created by procedural generation, so this part of creation is separated from artists direct work. However, artists still created the underlying engine, and they are doing tweaks to maps after it's been generated.

So answer to your question is still yes. Even if devs didn't outright copy real word terrains into Fractured, parts of map (and all other art work) is influenced by real life up to an extent.

@albuswolfer said in racial abilities:

@muker so beaskin wouldn't know their form? or the demons their racial one? so how we will learn then?

No official info was given, so we are all speculating.

My guess is that general racial abilities (that are specific to one particular race) we will have from start and benefit from them right away.

General spells and abilities (that all players can learn, regardless of what race they are) we will have few basic spells on start, and rest we will have to discover and learn.

I mean, we eat deers even in real life, so I see nothing strange about this request.

@albuswolfer said in racial abilities:

@muker i know they have, i am asking if they will need to be trained or what. it wasn't explained in this case

I would guess that we will have racial bonuses unlocked and active from start since it's like that in every MMO out there (even though an official statement haven't been made yet).

For spells and abilities, it is confirmed that we will have to discover them in the world, and then do tasks to level them up (we will only start with a small subset of abilities, at level 1). Player will likely be able to chose particular starting set out of given options, but eventually every player can learn all abilities down the line.
