@brocki well, light infantry carries all their gear wherever they go and I not only had to carry my gear and 3 days of food, but some armorer tools (for fixing weapons in the field) and the radio with extra batteries for the CO.

This was back in the 90s, but I don't think it's changed much. If anything, troops have more stuff to carry with all the new tech gadgets out. I doubt gear/weapons have become lighter.

It's probably not uncommon for ground troops to carry 80 to 100 lbs. Normal large ruck is probably 40-50 lbs with gear/food, worn gear maybe another 20 lbs, weapon (depending on type) 10 to 30 lbs (M16A2 vs. M-60) with ammo.

That was back when I was 17-24 - would hurt too much now with all that walking and carrying stuff

@Brocki I remember carrying 100+ lbs of gear when I was Army infantry and it definitely affects mobility

I remember weight being a factor in game so this might be where various armors/weapons/etc can affect movement speed.

The video did remind me of something from Spotlight #3 that there are resistances for slash, pierce, and crush as well. So plate armor might be quite resistant to slashing weapons, but not as much for piercing and crushing.

@kellewic It has been mislabeled for a long time now. It is in the same vein as Ark: Survival Evolved or Conan Exiles. Small personal servers you play with a couple of people in most cases.

they have public servers (or at least did when I last played), but to add those were so shitty they only supported maybe 40 people.

Citadel

interesting. but it isn't advertised as an MMO.

It is. The description (from Steam) has, "This massive online sandbox RPG features elements of magic, spellcasting, building, exploring and crafting..."

https://store.steampowered.com/app/487120/Citadel_Forged_with_Fire/

Listed in the MMO category.

I played it for a bit a while back both on the public and a private server. When I stopped playing they had a ton of balance issues; not sure if it's any better now.

If this question was already asked, my apologies.

People asked me if there are community servers planned in Fracture?

Without community servers (and only official servers) there most probably won't be decent roleplaying possbile which is for some people (as for me) very important.

what recent game offered personal servers?

Citadel

@specter said in New Character stat calculator?:

@kellewic You can get to 21 by spending points if the race has +3 to an attribute.

OK, cool. Was likely remembering incorrectly the thread on attributes. Might be the 25 cap I'm confusing it with (thinking 20 was a cap with points).

Based on my understanding of the attributes and their costs:

Humans can go all 10s and 3 attributes to 18
Other races can go all 10s, 1 attribute to 11, 1 attribute to 20 (affinity), and one to 19

as kind of a min/max when looking at schools. Not saying this is optimal since I don't know.

Highest natural score is 20 - the attribute cost table goes to 21, but as I understand it, you can't actually get to 21 by spending points - and at the natural 20 mark there is some unique bonus that we don't know.

We also still don't know what bonuses attributes will confer, but based on various threads my guess is something like a normal D&D attribute bonus table where at 10/11 equals 0 then +1 for every 2 points - it's been said many times to get all attributes to at least 10 (guessing there are penalties otherwise).

A calculator at this point would only allow you to see a distribution of points across attributes, but have no idea what it means except that having whatever school's defining attributes high is likely a good thing (but we don't know what "high enough" is yet beyond "get them all to 10").

Also been commenting on the Fractured reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/fracturedmmo/ - not sure if the number of comments help, but figured it can't hurt.
