I've played games for over 28 years. From Atari console to NES to Super NES to N64 even the Sega Genesis to vanilla UO, preTrimal, to DAoC, to Wow, to Eve Online and many more inbetween.
If you are a solo player. You will need help in Fractured. There's no other way to say it. You wont move materials in a caravan without a team or a few teams. While the NPC encounters may be solo friendly the rest of the game wont be.
@mae said in Quests for classes:
But it just seems strange having quests in a sandbox game in general, where everything is expected to be player-driven
I like how Eve Online did it.
They wrote the plot but didn't write how it ends. They allow the players to determine how a story will end.
example was a capital ship was in 0.0 (complete lawless space) and entered into low security (they have guards but not many). This character destroyed a station and was in the process of escaping. The developers mentioned you can try to stop the ship or try to help it escape.
Some players went to assist/defend the capital ship to help it get away while others tried to destroy it.
in the end the capital ship made the escape. I'm not sure what happened after that but that's how you can have a story, quest in a sandbox but not script the ending so that the players can decide it.
@therippyone
i'd prefer to see holy and evil or good and bad. to always call the negative karma evil and the positive good doesn't do the evil justice or doesn't do the good justice. good and bad are opposites, holy and evil are opposites but mixing them is just blasphemy.
@roccandil
well dead games do that. what game is it? I've played eve online and i dont think a single player contract is moved via NPCs. a player has to do it. there are players that make their living moving goods around.
I use should because I can't say for absolute how it will happen in Fractured.
@33Hp
I don't see Fractured being solo friendly. You will need a guild to survive this game. If you're a GM of a trade guild then you know for a fact that you need players to move goods from point a to point b. there's nothing around that. A solo player will have to wait till the city is restocked or do that trade themselves. solo players try to be self sufficient which I hope they'll never be in this game.
for the most part, everything is player created. why trust an npc to bring goods from your camp/city to another city?
@alcriblp
according to the KS goals, it's just the 1 unless we hit the floor 2 goal.
@muker
caravans is just 1 or more vehicles hauling materials. it doesn't mean it's automated. players should be driving the ox (or other animal) with the cart while players are protecting said cargo.
@Roccandil
this isn't a theme park game where everyone is a hero. this is a sandbox where everyone is a nobody just trying to survive in the world(s). if you want to pay someone to transport your profession goods to another town then you should need a human to do that not an AI.
don't get me wrong, if DS comes in here and say there will be AI transportation then you bet i'll be there to steal everything!
Good in fractured does not mean just or virtuous, it means "I choose PvP under certain conditions". Neutral means "I choose to PvP under a larger variety of conditions" and not indifferent. Evil means"I choose to PvP under any condition".
that's a good way of seeing it!
@Benseine
we should have that option yes. but i doubt it'll happen.
@tsoo
in this game a good alignment means you aren't killing other good players. it means you aren't killing neutral players but you can knock them out.
so yes good here means a good guild shouldn't be out to kill another good guild.
@muker
it's bad when you take a sandbox game and have AI controlled caravans when players should be doing it.
@vortech said in Labyrinth 2 soon ?:
Good news! That means we're closer to the enhanced character customization
TAILS!?
@trelia
i dont think it's been mentioned, actually.
we assume a good guild wouldn't want to attack another good guild. I feel like there should be a type of war declaration on the human planet but i'm not sure what would happen on the beast planet.
the beast planet will need a way to deal with bots, and a war dec would allow that but they usually dont join guilds.
@muker
realistic is no NPCs at all. but there has to be some.
i hate when npc's do things that players should do. crafters and transportation should be a players job, not an npc. I'd prefer if only players were merchants but i hate being a player store to sell goods.
instead of merging guilds you created an alliance.
but that prevents players from doing it.
Just because it’s a streatch goal doesn’t mean it’ll happen at release. It could be a post release thing.
i'd assume the guild and alliance system will offer wars which will allow you to attack, although maybe not kill, players of the opposing guild/alliance. at least on the Human planet. Beast planet you can't even attack another good player. demon planet doesn't really care what you do.
i also assume beast and humans killing demons is normal and wont affect their karma. or at least they can be knocked out but not killed.
when did we get interplanetary gates? I thought it was all walk or use a mount.
@roccandil
then why have the developers spend the time to code, do UI and bug test it?
@roccandil
that's not something the game should enforce. the game should allow any guild/alliance to break at any point.
the whole point of a sandbox game is there are no hardcoded boundaries. now the karma, gods, planets are there as part of the rules but those should be the only ones.
@wolfkomodo46 said in Mail & COD:
Also, since players can't carry items through the teleport gates, I doubt the items can go by themselves through such a gate either.
yes they can. it's the only way to get materials off a planet via the gates outside of being forced teleported off the planet. i expect to see caravans read to enter the portal so materials can be farmed and returned.
