Thanks for that!

It’s taken me 9 months to get to 180.

Give it time it isn’t a sprint.

@needlehawk
it takes time. really nothing more unless you can pop your referral somewhere. I thought the same thing 9 months ago when I first joined. But visiting every day, posting some comments, engaging with the community and doing the foundation quest, I'm now over level 180.

Assuming the Foundation stay until release (or just before) then you have 2 years to go.

@gothix said in How is the Development Team going to solve...:

Fractured has an advantage that it will give players "the old school MMORPG feel to it" and players are here because they want that. So Fractured does not need to include "super ultra 16-D multi laser sun translucence support that will come with DirectX 16".

I like that description!
and you forgot Ray Tracing!

DS said they wouldnt sell power. The VIP isn’t power if it’s traded.

DS wouldnt be breaking their word because they aren’t directly selling items.

No.

They didn't just say "they wouldn't sell power". They said "There will be no P2W".
Allowing RMT would be P2W.

then there would be no trading at all in game because RMT will exist with trading.

Whether you wish to admit it or not, RMT will exist. Either DS can make some cash off it by selling VIP to players that trade it or they spend cash and man hours tracking down accounts that RMT trade, and deal with stolen credit card charge backs (which hurts them in fee's).

Dynamight Gold is cash shop currency!

@zenopo
why waste development time to change eye color when you can't even see the characters eye in game? it's literally a waste of time and funds to do it.

@specter
people will make 3rd party market sites for easy searching. I'd suggest at least have that in game.

it could be completed after the release of the game unless they stated before live release.

@warlunhardt said in Will Fractured upgrade on what Albion Online did:

we don't know the full details on gathering other than you put stuff in a cart.
character builder on website wont matter because you have to unlock skills through exploration. but i can see 3rd party doing this.

Fractured will have separate bank per town!
slow combat (not fast because they want people to react)
static map (unless you're on the asteroid)

People are still playing WoW; a 14 year old game. People are still playing Eve Online another 10+ year old game.

Hardware always moves faster than software. Look at the newest DX version vs what software is using.

What happens when a KS backer decides to upgrade with the forum packs?

I've been here 9 months with over 2k post and I might have post in the daily thread once. over 99% has been legitimate comments or topic creations.

I'm sure the intention was that people would engage with others and thus keeping the post comment points but eventually people just started a daily post and kept with it.

If there is a cap then eventually everyone can catch up unless the whole foundation system is removed.

My problem is that Reddit sub is pretty barren because of the foundation system.

@lovechildbell
i'm saying there will be RMT outside of the game. but if DS can allow the VIP to be sold with in the game to other players then it allows those players to have access to VIP which they may never have otherwise (unless they were selling goods on the 3rd part sites to buy VIP).

Can VIP to gold in game be P2W, yes. but will many choose for it to be that way, probably not. They'll get a boost in gear but then realize gear isn't so powerful as it is in other games and they'll reconsider when they lose it to PvP.

Blizzard has done well when they introduced the WoW Token. At first it was only for WoW subscription time but now it can be used to add to your Blizzard balance, thus allowing you to buy games (D3, COD, Destiny2, etc), Overwatch lootboxes, even the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket. DS could copy this system so that the VIP is consumed for a lower value (than the sub) but allows the person to buy anything (i'm sure some exclusions will exist) in the cash shop. Again this would allow a person to buy the box but have access to everything in the cash shop and VIP.

@lovechildbell said in About the VIP membership:

so I'm a little lost can someone explain to me how being able to sell vip is pay to win?

The idea is your trading cash to buy VIP which can get you items or gold. The gold is used to buy gear or consumables.

In this instance a player, or even a bot, has to farm the content first.

@demilich
but it'll be easier to level now with the KS backer emails pointing to a news post so you can tweet and FB it.

But i agree the free stuff is great for just being active on the forums, it's the first i've seen from a developer.

@gothix said in About the VIP membership:

I guess it's not possible to convince someone who wants to P2W, he will look for anything to say, just to try to get it.

I'll be done with this thread then.

and it's not possible to convince someone who chooses to ignore what will actually happen in the game. P2W will happen via 3rd party sites. there's nothing around that. VIP doesn't give advantages, so far, so allowing people to play the game to get it isn't P2W.

@gothix
the leveling xp needed could be reduced for the first 150-200 levels if they decide to increase the levels past 300.

actually a hard cap on the level would be a good thing as more people would eventually get there.
