@sparky in parts i would agree with you, just i would not chose your words.
Call it fake faces on me, but in my opinion it is what it is, toxic people should take always a breath before they type anything. It does not help to fire them, with this part i go conform. But it also does not help to ignore them totally.
Yes healthy ignoring toxic threads are a good way, but it also needs a hard hand, same as when a small kid yells like hell and its parents need to say stop.
Nothing else said Prometheus.

In result no extreme way helps in case of terror. Not to look away, not to confronting them. The only way i see is, that the grown up community stand behind the Developement and let any toxic attitude wreck on the strenght of society.

Me got a bit disapointed, that we are here for month or even a year and support Dynamight because we believe in them and then some people comes in and try to mess up with everything.
If i‘m a new guest in a house i don‘t come in with a bomb and throw all to the ground and then wonder about, why the housekeeper kick me out. If i‘m new somewhere i look around and try to figure out the rules of the house and try to arrange myself with this rules.
Sadly in anonymous internet it seems opposite. Some people step into a house and think they are the biggest kings at all and don‘t care about anyone who is still there.
I really want to see some of you, how you would act, if you would be in a similar real life situation.
I‘m 100% sure, this toxic guys would be small even with heels and a hat in front of everyone of us. Maybe they even would be totally nice and socialized people. Why they can‘t be like this in the virtual worlds?

Just to clarify, i don‘t mention later ingame politics, that surely can be toxic in its Roles they play. But i wish, this people could stop to play roles as soon they are in conversation face to face or in internet case letter to letter.

@shillver said in I want a new MMO to play and saw a review on this game.:

@kralith If I go to any website for any game, I can pretty much navigate and figure out what this game is about.
This website does not provide that. Finding information about the game should be in the 'about' not 'news' the 'about' portion of this website tells me absolutely nothing about the game.

Okay, it bothers you to click a section thats called "News", because you want this informations in "About".
Maybe you are right, that the 7 Spotlights and 2 Video-Teaser could be placed into an own section.
That can be a suggestion to the Devs, but not how you comes by and criticize it.
If i go to many other websites for games, there are in this state of a game way less informations. I don't know which gaming pages you point out, but i think we are on totally different pages to look at.

There are no worth-while videos to watch about this game.
I can't be expected to listen to 12 hours of a guy(the dev) talking into a camera without a script diddling about like he doesn't know what the fuck he is going to say next.

If you are interested into the game, then the videos are indeed intersting for you.
You seems not to be that interested, otherwise you would not complain about this point.
In a state of a game, that we have right now, i don't want to see the totally cool absolute amazing ingame footage, i want to know by Devs, what they want to do and what's about their vision.
Beside this, the Teaser shows ingame footages and the Q&A Videos are just a talking guy, because he is answering our questions that we posted in forum and that was asked live while the stream.
What you expect more for now?

The wiki is non-existent for mechanics

As said by the others, the Wiki can't have any informations right now, because the only people who are able to be ingame right now are under NDA.

The About -> Company is barebones with no reputable sources or projects ever made

Said too, the company is a small Studio, thats made for Fractured.
And the Guys who made this have indeed some Rep, but maybe not that Rep you was expecting.
They are not an AAA Studio, nor the guys have worked at big AAA Studios. Cause enough for you to say "thats Crap"?
I feel sad for every gamer who think just the big player are the good ones that you can support and deny any Diversity in this case.

The FAQ is completely demoralizing by 'promising' things that it isn't going to be(P2W)

Can you specify this? Because i think i was reading other FAQ's than you.
I think the FAQ's are quite good, just what @Eurav mentioned, there could be a timeline or at least the link to the Developement Roadmap.

Both of the Gameplay videos look like ass and show off nothing unique and lack any creativity
The screenshots showcase very rustic graphics, like really rustic, like 2006 games graphics. And- I don't usually care for graphics,
I'll play 07Scape because it's a good game and the graphics match what I'm doing.
But it's a big yikes from me when the game is looking to be a competitor with another game when it's 10 years in the past.

For first, the look of the game is not the thing what makes the idea of Fractured unique.
And i don't agree, that there is any lack of creativity. But i think thats a kind of own taste.
For me an game in 2019 doesn't need a super graphic if it has a super gameplay.
And i am expecting for Fractured a great gameplay.
Beside this i like the graphical talent of Michele Sunti.

It looks like the ONLY thing that has any attention to it is the Leaderboards aka who spent the most money on a product that isn't even in Alpha yet.
5 Sections for something irrelevant. Got time to make leaderboards for donators but not successfully showcase the game.

Totally wrong, the Leaderboard is not about Money or Donators, it has absolutely nothing to do with any bought package.
The Leaderboard is a list of people who are active in the community since long time, some of them from start of the webpage in 2017.
These people are highly committed to the gaming vision. These people see the potential of the game.
And the Leaderboard&Foundation was there from beginning, so your conclusion about spending time into such instead of showcasing is wrong.
There will be for sure people who pledged the game, but there are also people who did not buy any pack yet for different reasons.

If you're actually serious as a company or dev, you can't be lazy.

How the hell you know, they are lazy?
You came by and just figured it out for what reason?

I have given so many games a try just because of 1 thing only: It looked like the devs were dedicated.
7 Days to Die? Atleast they're trying.
Terraria? Dedicated devs producing content atleast 4 times a year.
Battlerite? Dedicated devs.
I spent the last 2 days determining whether or not I want to even join the alpha at all after finally finding the information I need to form an opinion- which granted,
I shouldn't even of done, complete waste of time on my part-
I shouldn't have to do massive research for what looks to be a $20 game.
And just by doing so I've learned how this game is going to completely flop- because there are people out there with less time than me to go through the bullshit hoops to find out any mechanics of this game.
Deleting this account/pw from my chrome history and moving on. Last post. Maybe I'll try the game when it's out and the devs start taking shit seriously.

Wow, so much hate against a game that is not even in Alpha.
My serious question to you is, why the hell you spread your word here, if you don't like the game, the idea or the kind how the Devs handle it?
In your case i would watch the Page, decide if i want to dive in more, if not, i am just silently going further.
There are so many games out there, if you like them more, invest your time there.
It is not a nice behaviour to walk by a house and shit in it's garden, just because you want to say
"Hey i don't like your red door, but i don't care what is behind, i just wanted to tell you, your red door is shitty as hell and now i say bye. Maybe i am returning later to tell you again, that i don't like your red door."

@Sparky has Prometheus not said enough he is tired about these kind of bullying? You guys should keep this in private, because the continue of accusing does not help anyone in this forum.
You all said enough of this case, it is time to stop this war. Keep your energy for later ingame and fight like a real man in there.

@Baslak we don't know the exact requirements, but it FAQ is mentioned:

6. Will I need a NASA computer to play Fractured?

Definitely not! We’re working to keep Fractured available on mid-range computers and laptops as well, including those a few years old.

Ohhh nooo, don't drop the full-loot feature, never!
Because it will give us the special fear factor to do expeditions into harsh and dangerous lands.
The fear factor i always liked at my last game.
And since we will get different areas of safety and less safety, it should not be "a thing" if there will be full loot.

For the moment i can not decide to anything that i would not mind if it would droped.
For first, because we don't have an overloaded featureset yet.
For second, all announced features i like much and want to have them ingame.

@Gothix said in When will shop items become available ?:

@Znirf said in When will shop items become available ?:

The bought items will become permanently bonded to your account, as you noticed all of them are pets or cosmetics things, so there is no need for a later refund.

You might wanna recheck that info because in all MMOs I've seen people test cash shop by buying lots of stuff they don't even need, just to see if it works. They are then later refunded on release (stuff taken away of course), so they can buy only what they actually need.

Thats a good point, if we want to test all the items from shop, we would buy stuff, that we probably not would buy permanently.
But that can be maybe get tested in another way, that the studio will give us for a testphase all available Items, no matter if we bought them or not.

@sparky said in Now think Clearly Here:

Also, carebears aren't just PvE players but also PvP players who only target noobs to think of themselves good and get some easy gear since they avoiding the real competition.

Thats definetivly not a definition of carebear.
A carebear is someone who is caring and cooperative, and someone who just don't like conflicts.
A person who just target noobs and kill them can not be a carebear, because he is not caring, he is retarded.

There are some answers to find, we discussed it several times.
I just can say, that they are on a good way between being able to grind and not neccessarily need to do it. If it would have shown that it will be grindy as other games, many of us would not be here anymore. I am very sure about this point.
I like sometimes grind, if i want to do it, but not if i get forced to do it.
The level of Grind you already have in Alpha seems to promise a huge variety of things you will be able to do. It is good to have all these small things, you have to do, like picking up while traveling to the next POI 10 Stones and 5 Branches. People will know what i mean.

Well, i did a small research for comments by Prometheus about Grind.

I think, the first result can explain it in a good way about the idea the Studio has about it.

@Prometheus said in Feature Spotlight #3 - The Knowledge System:

@vs21314 said in Feature Spotlight #3 - The Knowledge System:

And they say you wont unlock them from grinding the same thing, but I feel like in the end there isn't much difference from grinding the same thing to grinding quest to quest or area to area. So its still going to be grinding either way.

Well, that depends on your definition of grinding I guess. To us, repeating the same action at the same location (e.g. farming a mob camp for hours) to accomplish something (e.g. leveling up) is "grinding", and gets us bored quickly. Having to do several different actions at different location - including exploration, crafting, PvE, gathering - is not really a "grind" - and you can even unlock abilities while doing something related to a totally different objective

To the Leveling:
@Headbash said in Is Fractured going to be as grindy as say Wurm On-line?:

....to get your character leveled up to a decent amount. Is Fractured going to be like that?

You don't level up your Character.
If you stand naked with an veteran beside a naked Beginner, they will have same amount of stats.
Well, there will be some differences depending on which Stats you chosed with your available Points when you create your character. Some will be more strong, some more intelligent, per example.
You keep these Stats with you, they will not rise.
But you will be able to be for sure better than the beginner, if you chosed your right Equip and Skills. Your dominance is based on the Knowledge you have.
And Knowledge is what you need to "grind". But you will be able to get them relativly easy, but to master them (not implemented yet i think) will take time.

One big wish @Prometheus for the Q&A: If possible, can you show us some ingame examples of building while the stream?
eyeclapping

@Jetah said in This game will it be free to play someday?:

@Kralith

i've used PoE as the prime example on how to have a cash shop

And it works very well for the company.
Beside that they have an amazing good game.
Wish i had some time for it again

@Farlander said in This game will it be free to play someday?:

I used to like subs for mmos because that evened the playing field for all players. However, I realized a sub made me feel like i had to play and then it became "I gotta get my money's worth" and I just quit playing all other games. So now if a game requires a sub I just pass it by even if it looks good. By the time you have played a game with a sub for a year you could have bought 2-3 other nice games.

Uhm... beside to have some ingame QoL benefit, i am doing a Subscription, if i think it is worth to support the Studio
Never had the feeling for this reason to have to play, because i need to get for what i paid most efficient.
I am playing a game for longer just because i am enjoying to play it, even more years exclusivly and literally massive
I think everybody should use it this way, to be sure, the Studio can continue their work on the game. We are the Customers and they have to maintain their life to be able to work for us.
A good thing of a games shop offers is, if it don't force us to buy something (topic Pay4Win), but if they give us nice Addons for our gameplay and look&feel. We will be pleased to get the one or another if we want so and if we have enough money to throw it into the pot that the Devs can maintain their game and their private lifes.

Exactly, the thing WE can do is, to talk about everywhere.
Show them outside of our forum, what YOU think about Dynamight and Fractured!

Write to well known Portals at your country, ask them for an hint on their page!
I got 2 nice answers till now, and one got today an article out.

Our support will be the strength of Fractured!

Guys! You just can summon @Specter with the @

@assassino The Vision of Fractured is so damn complex, you can't put all info in a single kickstarter page.
Although there could be a short description or the link to the news where it is explained.

VIP Subcribtions are nothing bad at all.
Especially at buy2play games, because that will give the Studio an extra commitment by players and a sure income.
And people will use it, especially then, when they see, that you can even do all things without any VIP.
Thats more a psychological thing.
A VIP that seperate VIP from normal player, because they get content that others not can have, is a bad attitude in an announced buy2play or even free2play game. Many Studios did this way and nobody of us want such.
Dynamight goes the way, where a VIP is a smooth thing. Slightly benefits, but not suitable for gaining extra power.

For Kickstarter, IF it fails, we won't get the stretch goals on website, but the packs will be there.
But i still believe we can do it.
Every small support helps!

@Tuoni I took the old middle Sign as an Symbol for New Order (Guild Profile)

@00 you can show it your virtual kids - the sheeps you will get to follow you.

Super nice guide @Silynx
Maybe add it to the Wiki, that would be surely helpful to have it there too, at least as a link to the forum.

@suruq Thats indeed a good question.
But maybe it is possible to create a real currency - "Gold Pieces" per example - by your own.
Lets say, there is a hard to get ressource that you can emboss to a coin.
At beginning there will be maybe not that much of this, but after some exploring and trading between player it will become more and more and is eligible to pay with it NPCs.
Beside this in trades there should be always the possibility to use material exchanges as value for "currency".
Since we have a strong crafting and player driven economy, it would be somehow disapointing, if all is just based on a simple and stupid "gold/silver/whatever" coin based currency.

For now, you can help yourself with the few informations on Wiki.
Those pages still need some more informations, but helps already anyways.

And yes @Xulu some more mouseover informations would make a good use for understanding mechanics ingame.

Hehe at @00 and @Agracore good to know there are others who did same
My Webcounter will let the Kickstarterpage stay at #1 in its list for long time.
