The no-classes and pick your skills to build what you want is yet another major reason why this game appeals to me.
Been so long since we had that in a game
I know, right?
I kinda wish Bethesda would just stop re-releasing Skyrim and get on with the next Elder Scrolls game already. 
The Lich is actually tempting me away from my plan to play as a demon.
I really enjoyed the necromancer in Diablo II, and if Liches get bonuses to necromancy and magic abilities as discussed in the Q&A (subject to game balance, of course) then that might pull me across to Syndesia.
Currently happy with my plan for a tanky hellfire demon and switching to Angel in my endgame. But I'll be watching the Lich closely as it gets balanced out to see how it comes together. 
Post launch I think I'd like to see more races for Syndesia. Beastmen and demons both get some variation, but Humans do not. Might be nice if other races get 'discovered'.
Elves and dwarves would be the two obvious ones, but that's a little cliche even for me. Not sure what would be good, but I'm not a game designer. ^_^
I'm going for a melee/tank hellfire demon type of build. So if I have 8 abilities, I'd expect to fill them something like:
I was a big fan of Diablo II.
Something about Diablo III never sat well with me. It was very pretty, but felt a bit popcorn-ey. My character in Diablo III never felt like my character.
I tried Path of Exile. It scratched the Diablo II itch better than Diablo III did. But even though it was unquestionably a massively multi-player online game, it didn't feel like an MMO.
I think Fractured is going to be the drug I've been looking for to scratch that itch in a meaningfully MMO setting. Plus, I think the system of different worlds and alignments having different rulesets has the potential to be really game-changing in an MMO space.
So I'm comfortable that I'm going to love this game.
In terms of how well it will do generally is a different question. It's going to boil down to a combination of how many people like me there are out there, and how effective Dynamite's marketing will be at reaching them. I'm not sure of the answers to either of these questions... So time will tell.
Hellfire Demon: I am a strong demon that burns things with fire.
Gloryfire Angel: I am a strong angel that burns things with fire.

@wolfkomodo46 Time... A lot of time spent....

So I might have you wrong. But I think what you're telling us is this:
Your daily post total is OVER 9000!!!!!1111111111eleven
^_^
It'll depend on the rate at which people buy the packages from Fractured now that the kickstarter is over.
Methinks that it will take a while, actually. Response to the Kickstarter campaign was slower than I expected.
@jozef said in Kickstater backers vs Fracturedmmo.com backers:
If I remember correctly. All non-early bird packages will be available for purchase after the kickstarter. All monetary stretch goals will continue after the kickstarter, but the number of backers stretch goals won't. So let's hope we get another 92 backers in the next 23 hours, so we'll get the unique spell effects. Don't know where I read that though, I did a search but couldn't find it.
Booyah!
I suspect I don't take the show seriously enough to qualify as a Whovian, but I do enjoy the shows.
Really looking forward to Whittaker's take on the doctor. I've been wanting to see a lady Doctor since I found out that cross-gender regeneration was possible in the case of the Corsair.
Don't equip anything you can't afford to lose. Problem solved.
Thanks for streaming!
This just makes me want to play a tank mage. I didn't want that before, but I'm tempted to try it now. 
I'm genuinely surprised that hellfire demons are winning out over the other racial sub-types. That's what I'm going for, sure. But I assumed that vampires or stealthy assassins would draw more interest than beefy tanks.
Will be interesting how this compares to the eventual population breakdown in the release.

:... Races in Fractured are not enemies...
Not sure if this is a Races/Planets question, or a Housing/Towns question. Will ask in both places, please ignore in whichever Q&A thread it doesn't apply.
How will NPC town defenders work on Tartaros?
In Syndesia and Arboreus it makes sense, they have a crime system and the NPCs can respond to the crime system. But Tartaros is lawless. So how will town defense work in the absence of a crime system?

@gothix said in Why is the Kickstarter (almost) failing.:
The real reasons:
- Small studio that people don't know about yet, and don't have experience with (uncertainty factor).
- Publisher is still unknown (there are lots of bad publishers out there so people are being careful).
- Not too much concrete game play has been presented yet (Mostly only theoretical info, artwork, and the basic game play. People need to see more developed game play to get a feel if they will like the game or not.).
Fixes:
- More promotion of the studio and developers themself (not only game promotion), it will help if people get to know the devs as well (the people behind the game) and not only the game.
- Announcing a publisher (that players have good past experience with) would help immensely.
- More development time invested into the game so more can be shown (time is needed here, there is no quick fix for this one).
Gothix sums up my thoughts way more concisely than if I'd tried to say it in my own words.
Only two things to add:
Dynamite's marketing is honest, straightforward, achievable promises, practical timelines, good ideas, and grounded ambition. I love that. But marketing is all about pushing the "Back this Game" buttons on the amygdala of the audience, and truth is just one of the tools for pressing those buttons, and nowhere near the most important. The best Kickstarter marketing strategy I've seen for games is to make it look like a nostalgically beloved genre is on the verge of collapse, but This New Game is going to save it - and you dear viewer can be part of that revolution! I think that Dynamite has made the mistake of thinking that a good game idea made by competent people will sell itself. It would be nice if that was true - but it isn't.
Even so, I was (and still am) really surprised at the lack of response from the community. Given how active the community is here, I had assumed that this would translate through to much higher level of interest in the Kickstarter. I'm still not really sure why more people from the community aren't coming through. The whole "I don't have a credit card" thing may be part of it, sure. But it feels like even with everything else suggested here that this isn't enough of an explanation for the shortfall.
