Better to steal food from nearby cities

Yes, make me richer

Seriously the mouse can't interact with anything at all.
So cant cook food or pickup food from ground to stop yourself from starving unless you already have edible food in your inventory.

When the summon is the only thing used against the target, it does not provide any agro to its caster & thus no looting rights.

Would like to join a guild that is primarily human or at least is planning to operate mainly on syndesia.
Would also like the guild to have atleast 50 people or growing v-fast.

I play from Australia & have a family so wont always be available for raids etc.

What can i do for your guild?
I would create stategic charts, each for a specific task.
Eg, resource gathering, seeking knowledge, town valuation, etc

What makes me better than another for such tasks?
I'm not, specially if you know who the ruller of the 3 planets is.

Regarding Territory Control

• Asside from Sieging, will there be other ways to force/change who owns what Territory?

• You said you were designing for solo play as well as group so, would solo players be able to Siege a city by themselves?

• Can you be Sieged or lose territory while Offline?

I also noticed this with the campfire & have been using the same stones & sticked from the start.

@Xzoviac said in Suggestion: Different spells have different armor requirements:

Allowing more play styles not everyone wants 3 set ways to play the game

One of my favorite all time magic builds is the Battle Mage from Dragon Age: origins
Tanky & can cast a number of spells (with reduced mana re-gen & efficentcy)
But great for a secondary tank option

If it was released with the current system i can all but garentee that 60-70% of people would run around with light armour, so they can cast spells & the other 25-30% would run heavy but only to compliment friends, tank & rush other players. (the remaining % would be people who dont follow the meta)

The same goes for stats, if there is no reset system, the same % of people would put their all their stats into whatever gives the most versitility & dmg while using abilities that keep them safe, such as teleport, heal, slows, stuns, etc.
Normally people would do a full magic or full archer build etc, but if you cant change stats, expect people to do builds that allow them to use almost everything.

You can just look at past games games to see player behavior, its not like it will have a massivly different effect when the core elements are the same.

I hope we will be able to go up mountains again, like i could @ the start of A2T1

@Jimbolini said in I hope your happy FRACTURED team!!! :

My original system was older is was
Intel 2500k with 8 gig ram and AMD R200 video card. (Windows 7)

Even if it was an old system, you should have still upgraded it to Windows 10.

The new system is not top of the line, but plays the game on Ultra with 60fps and smooth.
AMD 2700k with 16 gig ram and Nvidia 1060 vid card (6 gig) - Game is now loaded on SSD drive as well.

This is a rather beast processor for that video card, i take it you didnt build it but got it from a store?
At least you got it on sale tho.

I can see what @Jetah is getting at, the only problem is that unless there is an ability to switch agro, if your the first to get agro & you only want to collect resource or whatever. Your going to be doing that while tanking & you don't have a say in the matter.

The trees that spawn in these zones such as around the goblyn shammy and the treants hinder more than help.
They block the movement of the mouse & cause you to click on the tree rather than clicking on the ground or an enemy.

If there was camera rotation this would not be a problem as players could simply rotate the camera.

For the purpose of gathering branches, players also would not do so in the middle of a battle.
Thus they serve very little purpose being in a battle zone when they could be on the outskirts waiting for players to take the branches.

Just killed the Goblin Shammy & got the popup saying i learnt the Fire totem ability
I made a fire to learn it & found there is no new ability for me to unlock.
Even if i search for it the only thing that pops up in saerch under "fire" is Arcane missiles.

I beleive the instability comes from the admins spawning in items & teleporting players etc.

I say this because just after @spectre came online to help someone who was stuck in their house
The server became really unstable
My spells wouldnt cast instantly
Sometimes when they did cast they would not register a cooldown, so i couldnt cast it properly until the cooldown was up (but i would still do the casting animation)
NPC's would not hit me right away even tho i was in melee range

These things only seem to happen after an admin has been online
Not saying its bad they do these things, but until a fix is found perhaps they could limit or find alternative methods of helping.

I did a quick test based on @Yitra picture and what @Prometheus said

I found that the slot that the item is in when you refuse to delete the item when the popup comes up. Is the slot that will recieve the delete order when enter is pushed.
Just move your item over 1 & it wont be deleted.

When standing outside your house, you can not interact with an open door to close it.

Need to Stand at least this far inside to be able to interact with door & purple region is the only area of door that is selectable.

@Prometheus
I dont specifically remember when, but i do recall that screen popping up multiple times for things that i did not want deleted & i would then press the cross to close it.
So that does make a lot of sense to me.

@Xzoviac Diablo 2 didn't add resets until 10 years after its initial launch & even then you only got 3.
Regardless Diablo revolves around vertical progression not horizontal progression, so the 3 resets suits it's style of game.

@NeroulGB Agreed, i think that it shouldn't be super easy to re-spec.
But that doesn't mean it needs to have a limit or be super hard either.

If there was a hard limit, then its like putting a timer on when people quit the game.
Say you have only 5 resets.
Use 1 on your first or maybe second day because you didn't like your chosen attributes.
Use 1 after a week or a month when you feel you have a grasp of what your doing.
Use 1 when the guild you joined recently asks you to fill a specific roll
Use 1 when you decide to go back being a lone wolf
Use 1 when you join another guild because you got lonely
Your guild wants to try something cool, but you got no resets.
So you go beg on the forums for more resets only to get no response.
Frustrated & not wanting to do everything all again on a new character you go find something new to play.

I logged out for a bit (didnt exit program)
came back to find all the water had evaporated
