@therippyone said in About the possibility of being Published:

I heard that was happening, but not much else - what happened?

Basically Intrepid is self publishing in US only. They didn't want to self publish in EU due to complicated EU laws / requirements to self publish (multiple staff for support for several languages, privacy laws, etc.) so they decided to go with external publisher for EU, someone that already has the network, the staff and everything needed.

I don't know why in the hell would they opt for mycom though... that was an awful choice.

Steven claims he made sure that Intrepid keeps full creative control, and game will remain subscription based with CS holding only "cosmetics", but people just don't trust what mycom could do, and rightfully so.

Many EU players are currently considering to roll on US servers (regardless of the lag) just to not have to deal with mycom.

@RedHorseman417 Welcome!

I'll just do a quick listing of links to developer spotlights (that you can also find in news section of website alongside some other interesting stories):

1. Spotlight 1 - Races
2. Spotlight 2 - Planets and Travel
3. Spotlight 3 - Knowledge System
4. Spotlight 4 - Skills and Spells
5. Spotlight 5 - Attributes and Resting
6. Spotlight 6 - PvP, Allignment and Crime
7. Spotlight 7 - Towns and Politics
8. Spotlight 8 - Soon TM

I would also suggest joining us at Fractured MMO discord channel. You can always get some extra info there, and also @Kralith makes good coffee.

@jetah said in Limited/rare items?:

I searched 6 pages of @Gothix comments

I feel very special now.

On topic: I'd love to see rare items exist, as long as they aren't too powerful compared to "normal" items and as long as they can be looted and passed from player to player like that. It would be an extra incentive to PvP, never knowing if some player you loot will drop you something rare.

"Shall I avoid a thief flag, or shall I risk searching the corpse, hmm."

@pepix said in will they include cash prizes?:

some games are starting to create prize events, in these events the players have cash prizes, do you think it's something to be added to fracture?

Hey, if they become extremely successful and start swimming in cash, why not?

@grofire said in Limited/rare items?:

@gothix yes calling someone liar is very aggressive... maybe you forgot it?

Claiming that someone is writing untruthful about some subject is very aggressive?

Dude, what world do you live in?

@grofire said in Limited/rare items?:

@Gothix keep writing in a few posts about that, and is really aggressive about it

LOL... no comment

Question now is what happens when beast kin player drops below 0 and still above -2500?

He is still not abomination, however since he is not above 0 he can not chose good, so he is stuck on neutral I guess.

However it is written that beast kin can only chose good on Arboreus... so is beast kin player now banished from arboreus completely, or he can still travel to non safe zone as neutral humans can?

(I guess that would be the case, and in such scenario beast kin players can actually be neutral on Arboreus, but with travelling limitations same as neutral humans).

@Specter

@grofire this is from spotlight 6:

If your character’s Karma is below -2,500, you can only choose an Evil alignment. Below 0, you can pick only Neutral or Evil. Above 0, all the three options are open.

Speaking of race, the following limitations apply:

• Humans are born with slightly positive Karma, and can choose any alignment.
• Beastmen are born with a highly positive Karma. When resting on Arboreus, you can only choose a Good alignment for your Beastman character. When resting on a different planet, you can instead pick Neutral too. By doing so, you are allowed to commit criminal actions that could lower your Karma to the point your home planet and race will start rejecting you, walking the frightening journey that end with the transformation of the Beastman into an Abomination.
• Demons are born with a strongly negative Karma – and they can’t make it better on their home planet. Therefore, as you create a new Demon, you’re restricted to an Evil alignment. When resting on other planets instead, you can gain Karma to the point you can set your character as Neutral too. Eventually, once your Karma is sufficiently high, you can start walking the path that will lead your Demon to reach its Redeemed form – the Angel.

So I guess for beast kin:

• above 0 - only good on Arboreus, good or neutral on other planets
• -2500 to 0 - only neutral
• below -2500 - only evil

@Benseine Let me join you in the lands of evil!

Ah so beast kin can't switch to neutral on Arboreus (outside of safe zone). Ok, I guess I misunderstood that part then.

It would be nice if a controlling guild gets to decide how their guards react on different events, with some city configuration UI.

Simplified examples:

• attack any negative karma character on sight
• attack any positive karma character on sight
• attack characters on sight based on their current alignment
• if you notice 2 characters in combat (one good one evil) engage and help the good character
• if you notice 2 characters in combat (one good one evil) engage and help the evil character
• attack on sight if character has thief or murderer status (or aggressive status)

More options could be added, and town guards could be configured separately from patrolling guards. And perhaps separate configuration could be possible for different times, during siege, during eclipse, during normal hours,...

I know this would be some amount of work for the devs for sure, but it would be awesome.

And wishing for Paypal support, for us, noobs without credit cards.

If Fractured released separate character creator before the game release so we could play around that would be amazing.

Could even have some community contests, designing characters.

There was talk about "legendary items" in some of the posts. That's what I responded to and wrote what I think could happen if we would get legendary items. I don't see what you don't understand.

I guess if you don't understand by now, you will not understand at all. So I guess I'm not gonna try to explain more.

So from spotlight 6, we were able to learn that guilds (alliances) that control cities will be able to hire NPC guards (if they have good city) that will patrol through landscape outside of the city and will attack "bad" players on sight.

My question is, for balance purposes, if a guild controls an evil city, can they also hire NPC guards that will patrol around the area and attack "good" players on sight?

Syndesia is supposed to provide equal opportunity to good and evil players and let GvG determine what happens. So it would, imho, be only fair that if good guilds get to hire good NPCs to help them, that bad guilds also get to hire bad NPCs to help them.

Will they be able to? (Because nothing about this is written in spotlight, only good patrol guards are mentioned).

It's predicting what will happen if something gets implemented. That's what we do here, predict and theory craft.

Someone suggested legendary weapons, and I just listed some potential issues that can happen if that gets implemented. Issues are not only game mechanic issues, but player psychology issues as well.

@grofire said in Limited/rare items?:

@gothix when anyone saying something about PVE or items or whatever, you jump saying its PVP game so its wrong, same as you done in this post.

If someone asks for protection from PvP on a PvP planet, of course I will write that I disagree. I have right to write my opinion same as anyone else.

Or do you expect player that disagree to write nothing so devs only get PvE players feedback on certain issues? lol.

@tulukaruk said in Demon Redemption:

@grofire I'm pretty sure you can just switch to neutral right away.

Which probably isn't exactly accurate as it says beastkin can only pick neutral...

It's location dependent.

Best kin can pick:

• only good inside safe zone on Arboreus
• good and neutral, outside of safe zone on Arboreus
• good, neutral and evil on Syndesia and Tartaros

(neutral is enough that you can attack other person, so outside of safe zone on Arboreus, they could switch in rest phase to neutral and then attack other beast kin)

Humans can pick anything anywhere (except safe area on Arboreus where they can only be good, but outside of it they can be whatever they want, with ofc. considering consequences they will get for it).

Demons can be only evil for a while, until they buff their karma up, but this will take time.

@grofire said in Limited/rare items?:

you need to understand it, and give place for other players with other play style to speak on what they want

Where am I preventing anyone from speaking? o.O

@jairone said in About the possibility of being Published:

I think the biggest thing will be what legal agreement information, if any, can be shared to show the depth to which a publisher will disrupt the system...

And we all know developers tend to not disclose their contracts with publishers.

So the only thing left for players is to judge the publisher through their own personal experience (and through other player experiences) and then judge the game based on who publishes it.

(AoC) Steven can claim he has the grip over my.com, but players have only his word on that. And players have had a lot's of bad experiences with recent MMOs being mostly money grabs, and it's hard (naive) to trust anyone's word today.

This is why choosing a "trusted" publisher means so much more than a few percent of income up/down you have to agree to share with them. A "trusted" publisher will mean a great bulk of players coming to your MMO, that otherwise would skip it in case of "not trusted" publisher.
