We do Halloween in my country but I'm just lazy.
I personally think that automatic translations would add more confusion than help.
You would get chat where half English is broken and not understandable. It would be huge pain.
(Perhaps some basic, pre determined, phrases that players could click on. That sounds ok.)
I still don't understand the question.
Fractured is full loot MMO. If someone loots your equipment, it's his now. If he will return it to you because he is in ally clan, it's his choice. If he doesn't wish to return it, you are free to attack him to try to kill him and take it back.
Unless you are talking about clan management, where clan bank finances member gear, and you want some kind of automated report so clan leader (or officers) get so they know what exactly members lost in war. But I guess that would not be easy to implement.
@ZagZag other races will have other advantages that demons do not have.
For example humans will have steampunk tech, body enchantments, advanced siege equipment, etc.
Beast kin have large safe zone to escape to where demons can't go at all. Meanwhile beast kin can travel through whole Tartaros. It's risky but they can. Demons have limitations where they can travel to.
Each race has something else.
@jetah said in Limited/rare items?:
why do people associate legendary with OP-ness?
Because it's how it works in WOW.
@greenfire said in Forum Privileges:
I'd like to propose allowing members to post videos, perhaps it can be something integrated with the alpha when it comes out, or members who have shown that they aren't simply going to shit post when they do share. I for one would love to be able to see video once members are creating it, rather than only posting links, why not allow an embed for certain ranks on the forum?
I'd guess because of forums storage space capacity limits.
Forum already went crazy once when it went out of memory (at that time devs noticed they partitioned the space wrong and they fixed it), but even so, space still has limits since devs are running this on their own server.
Structured PvP is called... Syndesia
Tartaros is here for unorganized chaotic PvP. Whoever wants structure in his PvP has another planet to play on.
@Jairone you are correct that selfless WK is rare, specially if no bounty is involved. Community policing works more in line "I will protect my own town people and my own guild members, because they help me too and they help my town".
So community policing is more commonly localized, people hunt evil players in their own areas. It's tied to players own town or guild. So people that play solo and live outside of towns usually don't have anyone to protect them, but I guess it's to be expected. If you live in the community and help the community yourself, then community might help you back in time of need. If you are solo, and help no one then no one will help you also.
(Also note that this poll only asks players to chose their favorite type of PvP. If they chose natural group, that does not mean they will not WK as well, or do several additional types of PvP.)
@Pepix no need to waste resources on that. If anyone needs translator, he can just use google translate (or something else) and then paste translation as his post, or when reading posts in other language internet browsers (for example Chrome) already offer simple right click + translate option, and you have the text translated to language of your choice.
@grofire said in how do you want your pet and npg?:
@jairone you didn't understand...
In most MMO games, party leader will decide if the loot is personal or anyone in party can take, IMO it's a bad design, I think that only the player should decide if he want the loot or give it to other players in the party.
If you are playing with party then everyone hits the mobs at once, and healer heals you keeping you alive. You can not decide for yourself if you "give the loot or no" because it is not your loot to give. It is parties loot. And since everyone contributed to the kill, then loot is distributed according to party loot system, and not your decision.
On the other hand if you are in party, chatting etc, but everyone is killing own mobs without helping each other, then party leader can set the loot to "free for all" and you can loot your own mobs. So no problem there as well.
And in above scenario If party leader is an as..... and he is manipulating loot (not wishing to use FFA), then why are you in party with him in the first place? Just leave and play with someone else, or form your own party where you are the leader and will set fair loot rules. So again, no problem there.
Also remember that even those players that are not in party can loot the mobs you kill (and get flagged as thief in the process) so while deciding what to do with loot, be quick or you may lose the loot all together by some opportunist random player that happened to be nearby and picked it up quicker than you.
I love this mechanics, I'm glad devs are designing it this way.
@dcccxix said in Some suggestions/questions/discussions:
Added more lines in the initial post.
Enlarged the wall of text you say?
City walls, level 2, construction completed.
(some of) Customization suggestions for Fractured (as an isometric game):
I don't think pet can run / fly around and collect items on its own due to loot flagging system.
It's not only about looting players and getting flagged as thief like this. Remember, other player can loot a mob you killed, and get flagged as thief, and you can do the same if you loot the mob other player killed, or loot someone else's remains, while he is "corpse running".
So I'd rather pet doesn't collect anything. This mechanic just goes against open PvP full loot system, where you have to quickly decide what to loot and what not too, even in middle of combat where several players can compete for the same loot that's on the ground.
Pets that loot for you would just severely damage this system.
(auto loot mechanics helping bots is also an issue, but we don't even need to get into that because an above issue is enough to make auto loot mechanic a very bad thing to have in Fractured)
@muker said in [PvP Poll] If you had to chose, what type of PvP do like more?:
It is a pity that you did survey 1 answer, not a few(
I wanted to see what people prefer the most, if they had to chose only one.
If I allowed people to select more, I couldn't see what they like "the most".
I myself like the most PvP that occurs naturally and spontaneously over different reasons, while you are playing the game doing something other than PvP.
For example, you are grinding, exploring or something else, and something happens that naturally leads to PvP engagement. I like both solo and group action, but since I have to chose I'll chose group because it's more fun when it's social, and you laugh with your friends about situations afterwards. Also, the more people engaged, the more fun it is for me, and team tactics and organisation comes into play.
We are all reasonable adults here, so fluff off everyone and welcome!
@zephyrstormborn said in Betraying your faction and its place in the ever-changing world:
I would love to become an angel by betraying the demons and rocking some angel gear and helping another faction even, I would just like to know the limitations that have been thought of so far if any and what everyone thinks on the same subject!
Not all details about Angels have been revealed yet. We are all waiting for more info.
So far we know only few details, that Angels will get a modified skin when you become and Angel so you will look different than Demons, you alignment will be good so some mechanics will change for you, and you will be able to live permanently on Syndesia.
Devs are still considering more details, and things may change as we go. Ability for Angels to travel through Arboreus etc. so take everything with a grain of salt, game is still 2 years away from release, and even devs are still re considering some details.
@mazikar said in Where do you want to live?:
Safe... I would like to live where it is safe!
It's called Arboreus.
@target said in Mouse / Keyboard control:
which isn't possible with mouse only movement
It is possible because you can mouse click on some spot away from you and while your character is auto moving to that spot you can cast stuff clicking on players in other directions.
It just might be a bit more comfy with WASD movement (if you prefer playing with keyboard movement). It's why i prefer to have an option. I play every game with keyboard movement and mouse casting, it's just a lot more comfy playing like that.
Honestly I'm not sure if I will like playing with mouse movement, I might just give up if I will not have keyboard movement option (I might try it regardless, I'm just saying it's quite likely it will push me in direction of some other MMO. Just a honest statement).
Taking away an option of personalizing your game controls, today, is just a really, really bad decision from a game company.
