1m to logout to character select or quit but your character stays in the game world for 15 minutes! this will encourage people to keep pushing till they reach a town or have friend that'll babysit till the character is gone.

@dandy7

i'm going to guess that will happen because you will lose in a 1vX fight. The amount of skills available to the group will always be better than the base for the solo player. I do see some unofficial no-pvp times being coordinated so people can gear up. I also expect to see basic to intermediate gear as the best demons will have on average. To invade human and beast planets we'll need numbers to offset the gear difference (if it's more than 10% between naked and top end).

@mereni
and knowledge points and learning slots.

but there are other items that could be included that change the convenience to easy mode (not sure p2w phrase would be accurate).

@sunlion
swamps are high humidity too so near dusk and dawn it should have fog or mist.

@phaethonas said in Be Careful with Pay For Convenience, Please.:

There is no such thing as pay for convenience.

These terms (pay for convenience, pay2advantage, etc) are nothing more than p2w apologist crap. Essentially they are basically p2w or they will be turned p2w down the road.

That's what this post is implying.

My point is that too much Pay for Convenience can be bad. While the image depicts children with school bags it could be replaced with nearly any video game avatar.

@jetah said in hint for logout:

yes, many games with pvp have a time where your client is at character select or it closed, and your character is still in the game world. This happens in Eve Online and WoW to name a few examples. a 15 minute timer doesn't mean you have to sit there waiting the 15 minutes to close the game or swap characters. it's the amount of time the model stays in the game world. i thought you knew although i could have explained it a little better.

so you saying that every time you logout, your char will stay in the wold, and you will not be able even to see if someone attack you and run or fight ??

Yes. That's how it works in PvP games. Otherwise people will run and force a disconnect by unplugging the ethernet, disconnecting wifi or removing power to the router/modem. It was a commonly used system in UO back in the 90's. The answer to that was to keep the character in the game world for a period of time to force the player to fight or to run to a safe area (like a city).

@Basileus

I wasn't aware the system worked like that for Eve. Was that there since the beginning or was that changed?

@Rotul @grofire

the logout timer we're speaking of is when the character in the game world vanishes. It isn't the timer that you have to wait through to change characters or exit the game. It's there to prevent abuse from people wanting to 'terminate' their connection or client so their character can't be killed.

example is when you are chasing a demon. you get some attacks on them and start to run. you follow. they turn a corner and hide in some bushes. your camera position can't really see it that well. you continue to run around hoping to see them. What the did was jump in the bushes and pulled the network plug on their PC so the client disconnects. With a 15m logout system the demon will stay in the game world for 15 minutes. This give you time to find them and kill them. With a 1 minute system you might not find them.

I'm sure there's a term for what I'm describing but I'm not thinking of it.

What we're not saying:
you press escape, then press logout or exit. Then you wait for 15 minutes. That isn't what we're saying. That timer can be 1 minute! or instant if you're in a safe city.

@grofire said in hint for logout:

@jetah have you played a game with logout timer? I did and I tell you 1 min is more then enough, it's never feel safe.
If looting someone taking 5 min that a bad gameplay design. It should take 5s so you can keep fighting.

games are now too easy and hold your hand too much. UO had the ability to put bags in bags to keep stuff safe or to organize them. if looting takes 5s then there's a problem.

@grofire said in hint for logout:

@gothix so you gonna wait 15 min looking on your char, doing nothing, nice game experience

yes, many games with pvp have a time where your client is at character select or it closed, and your character is still in the game world.

it's a blend of a few ideas. there isn't any one game that describes it well enough.

it's mixing the arpg with mmo. it's mixing pvx but also keeping it mostly separated on planets with occasional invasions. no class restriction.

I believe this game, if executed as i believe the vision is, will bring back the exploration that current games lack. this will or should feel like we're playing a video game for the first time. so long as the 400 abilities aren't in static spots for everyone.

@logain
they have other skills developed already. in that video they could have had a fire so they could swap skills (didn't have to show it).

the game looks like a generic arpg from that video. now it's possible that video was there to showcase the environment and actions between the electricity and water but wasn't mentioned in the first post. it looks well polished, similar to the level of blizzard (a compliment to you and the team @Prometheus), but it is lacking.

@sunlion said in Player killings?!:

That's all ok, but I hope the game will not be plagued by ganking, camping etc...

you should read those Spotlights on the main page

@grofire
1 min isn't enough. this is a sandbox game where death has meaning. if you know your logout is 15 minutes, you'll spend 14 minutes making your sure character is safe.

i don't want safe worlds. i would play wow if so.

we don't know of 5s is enough time to loot someone. it could be possible that bags can be placed in bags like happened in UO. i've heard of stories of it taking 5 minutes to open all the bags to get to good gear while the other bags had junk in them.

@sonnypk said in A compilation of everything we know about Fractured.:

I have a question regarding the Alpha and Pre-Alpha phases, after the Alpha phase, will the server have a Master Reset?

all testing phases will have wipes. we'll definitely have a wipe before the game releases.

There could be a wipe every patch if something is changed enough.

@greenfox said in Mega Update - Cheaper Packs, Pre-Alpha Keys & More:

I studied your pack price, again.

I am probably would get an knight or lower version.
As lifetime sub isn't what i really want.

I would prefer more UNIQUE KS skins, pets, buildings or emotes of some kind.

PS: PLEAES make an Homepage based selling site too for packs .. I and alot of other people, don't own creditcards. In europe it's not the norm to have them, as we can do that with our bankaccount cards just fine. When you add homepage selling, do some early birds there to for fairness. + You can keep selling KS packs or reduced benefits packs while going through the phases.

you can't use your bank card online?

400 abilities and 7 schools of magic..

Those Spotlights and News sections on the main Fractured site would give more details.

@grofire said in hint for logout:

15 min????? Just say that every time you logged you lose all your items.

if you're running from a fight, logout shouldn't be a safe option. If you're in town or in your house it would be instant.

@severinus said in Body building:

@jetah I really like this idea. It gives the choosing of inadjustable attributes some flavour, as you can actually see that the skinny guy has to use magic, as there is no muscle on him to properly wield a sword, whereas the strong warrior with plate armour should look more muscular in comparison and the dextrous fighter slimmer, but still not too skinny.

I watched an anime where physical build was a base to magic. Stronger body, meant stronger magic (to a point I assume).

@dudewithpizza

wouldn't be surprised to see these as cosmetic mtx.

@kitsandkats
assuming you specialize in crafting, or none at all, it'd take 1 or more professions to craft the parchment.

@tulukaruk
i've played poe since the league started and my wrist hurts because i have to use the lmb to move my character. it could be better if i had the option to bind a 'force move' to something else.
