Welcome stranger.....it seems you found your way through the deep jungle. As you can see there is nothing here just my poor self, bare lands and a long coast line.
I have a lot of building materials available though....but not enough man power to start a settlement.....what should I do?
You want to help me to build up a town? Are you sure you want to help me? Hm since you have nothing else to do there is no harm?....I wish more people like yourself would show up.

Then let's start building the foundation for this town.
The name of the town? I want to name it Dùath sounds about right?
My name? Ah I forgot to introduce myself....talking about bad manners.
My name is Lil Cassiopeia and the gods have given me the ability to create a settlement and govern over it. But what is a town without it's people.....kind of lifeless right?

I want to make a town for merchants and crafters alike.
With great roads to several free citys so that many will find the way to us.
You are afraid of bandits and ravaging beasts? Hm good point but Arboreus is a relative peaceful world for travelers. The gods have created a rule for our races to life in harmony instead of killing ourselves. Sounds good right?
You are still afraid of the beasts outside and the unprotected road? I will personally take care of that as well. Mercenaries and soldiers who will align with our goals will be welcomed and good payed.

Criminals and wild monsters will pose no problems to my citizens at all.

Hm the foundation looks good lets put up a road sign and wait for people to gather.

Finally after finding some citizens the Governor declared the vision of her city.

Dùath is located in Arboreus and part of the The Moonshadow Dryads.
It will function as a diplomatic and trade gate between friendly minded guilds and cities in Arboreus and Syndesia.
Located at the sea the port town will allow adventurer to access the city from locations far away through a gate and execute trade business fast and smoothly.
Since big cities can accommodate 100 to 200 citizens it will be necessary to put a structured chain of command in place.

Leadership structure

The Governor Lil Cassiopeia is the highest authority in the city.
Dùath has an autocratic rule and the Governor is selected for lifetime. She will oversee the development and growth of the city and gives directions after consulting with the deputy Governors.

The deputy Governor is the second highest position and only has to answer to the Governor. The deputy Governor is announced by the Governor and only she can revoke the announcement.
The deputy Governor will support the Governor in her daily business of managing the city. The deputy Governor will also communicate with the representatives of Dùath and present urgent matters to the Governor.

Governor: Lil Cassiopeia
Deputy Governors:

City Council

The city council represents the citizens of Dùath. During the meetings directions for development of the city will be discussed. This includes planning infrastructure, trades with other cities, regulate taxes, territory management and possible alliance in consultation with The Moonshadow Dryads capital and its leadership in Kelutral.

The city council consists of Governor Lil Cassiopeia, deputy Governors and representatives of Dùath. The representatives will be elected by the citizens for the duration of 3 months. After the election period is over a new election will take place. The representatives will be responsible in collecting ideas for improvements and concerns from citizens.

In case several guilds are citizens of Dùath and they represents 10 % or more of the population the guild leader will be granted a permanent seat at the council table. I would encourage merchants, craftsman, mercenaries and adventures to form a guild for that purpose alone and excel at their craft.

Life as a citizen

We welcome everyone to become a citizen as long as his alignment is not evil and he agrees to follow the rules of Dùath. An application can be sent directly to the Governor or deputy Governor who will discuss your request. Once your citizenship is approved we will create a living space for you and help you with the construction of your new home.

For those who want to leave the city or are unsatisfied with the rule please give your concerns to the representatives first. We may find a solution which will ease your concerns and will convince you to stay. If you still want to leave Dùath then give your representatives the message and the city council will talk your request over.

If you commit a crime in this city your name will be tainted for lifetime so there will be no second chance. Murder, theft and treason there will be no mercy for those who commit these crimes or worse! Therefore criminals are aware you will be watched by our city guard!

Royal law

1.) Abusive language, hate, racism or similar actions will lead to banishment from the city and allied cities/nations will be informed as well. (major law)
2.) Crime, murder and theft will not be tolerated and will be reported by the city guard! (major law)
3.) To initiate a fight with a person who is a member of an allied city or kingdom is forbidden!
However, duels which are agreed on beforehand are allowed. (common law)
4.) To start a war in the name of Dùath is forbidden and the person will be exiled from the city! (major law)
5.) A citizen alone cannot speak for Dùath to another city or nation! Matters regarding the city are always discussed in the council. (major law)
6.) Taxes have to be paid by all citizens without exceptions. (common law)
7.) Every citizen must contribute to the growth of the city. Without active citizens the city will fall into ruins (common law)

To break one of the major laws will lead to the highest degree of punishment which is exile from the city of Dùath.
If a citizen breaks one of the common laws the city council will decide how to handle and define the punishment.

During the last Q&A several new informations where posted to asteroids and stuff which are significantly different than what was known before.

First the link to this section during the last Q&A

Asteroids

Are flying over a planet for a period of 2 or 3 days and during that time you can create a gate and teleport on it.
How to create a gate was unfortunatly not explainded.
You can conquer it (different information than in the wiki!) as a group via teritority controll system function as a raid and that gives you resoucrces or sigils as a reward.
You get very rare or even uniqe resources only available at the asteroid there.
Sigils (unique items) will be available which gives bonus to a city or a player and there will only be one type of this item in the whole world!
If you die you will loose all your gear but thats not that bad in relation to the reward.
Yes these will be mainly for PvP players but I think the rewards will also get some PvE players into the mix it sounds like fun!
Asteroids will fly over every planet so everyone can try it and conquer it.

Labyrinth

Labyrinths are another form of late end game content but only planned for an expansion so very far off in the future.
You enter complete naked and have to create your gear within the labyrinth with the things you find there!
Its a dungeon crawler where you can grind down level by level and it will be harder with each level you go down.
The deeper you go the more rewarding the items you can get. What exactly can be found there was not described in detail just that resources are involved as well.
The maps are always randomly generated by the system.
How the system works regarding teleporting out (using scrolls / a spell?) or stuff was not mentioned.
Once a player dies he will be kicked out of the dungeons so it is kind of hardcore.

Events and world Boses

Arboreus will have their own open world PvE events for PvE players. How they are looking and what they are including was not revealed.

World bosses will be implemented after the next test Fall 2020 Alpha in the vale (skeleton dragon ) and it includes several phases before you can access the dragon so it will be interesting to try it out.

Hopes that new information is usefull since some of the ones availble in the forum are partly outdated.

Cheers Lil

@WaterMerchant

That comment is completly unnecessary......you didn't get his point at all. shrugs
I am with BlueGoblin on the topic.
I am aware that there are safe zones and there are free to kill and loot zones okay.
The problem is that it will be like Legends of Aria where nearly all the more advanced resource nodes were in PvP zones and you were nuked by hard core PvP players while just wanting to gather your materials for crafting.
So you are forced to gather people around you just to make sure you are not robbed of your loot while walking from the mining location to the crafting area in the city.
This can be frustrating for players which have not much time on hand to look for a group or solo players and that would reduce their fun in playing the game.
Thats what he meant in general.

@BlueGoblin

We will talk about that topic later I guess how we will proceed in the next test and what to do with the new changes.
Nevertheless should it not discourage us I think once Arboreus is available we will have a more PvE friendly environment.
However I do fear that this may take a while and I don't want to stick around for 5 - 6 more PvP tests before the PvE continent is available. Would be a long stretch even for myself since I really dislike PvP.

@Ostaff

I can only hope that will be the case and that the devs will balance out each planet. Maybe even different city systems which are exclusive for the planet and their environment.

Cheers Lil

Hello travelers,

Dùath is opening the gates again for ambitious blacksmiths, crafty miners and greedy merchants.
It's time to get the economy rolling!

You can find us west of the Vale of Shadows.

Let's have some fun.

Cheers Lil

Welcome beastman to the lush forest of Arboreus. It seems you are lost here and looking for the way to the next town?
Interesting indeed……may I offer you a seat for a little talk?
It seems you need some rest from your long journey and a little drink could help. It‘s on the house as well!
Let me tell you something about this town and our territory while you have a drink of the good stuff.

Guild structure

Our wise and humble leader Xzait leads The Moonshadow Dryads and tries his utmost to build an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere for all of us.
I, Lil Cassiopeia, function as Xzait‘s right hand and support our wise leader in all needed matters.
There will also be multiple officers to help us take care of the guild.

Basic benefits

• A small, tight knit community of honest, forthright and trustworthy players
• A mix of players that have experience in previous tests and new ones with minimal experience
• Players logged-in most days, spanning across multiple time zones
• Respectful and peaceful players settling in Arboreus, land of the Beastmen.
• And of course having fun!

About us

• We are going to be a peaceful PvE focused guild, but we will also welcome players who are interested in friendly PvP, like duels, or PvP enabled instances, like meteorites.
• We want to keep the guild at a manageable size.
• We are already having connections to several ally's and are happy to work with them in the future and adding new ones over the course of time
• We will be settling in Arboreus mainly but members can also explore the other planets freely as well if they wish to.
• We are encouraging people who want to excel in trade, gathering and crafting to join us, as that is where our main focus as a guild, will lie.

What we would wish from our members

• Don't be abusive to other people in the server. This is a chill, friendly place and we don't need people ruining that.
• Treat everyone equally, reguardless of rank.
• Lets enjoy the game and have fun!

@Jairone I agree that a short development time under 3 years is very ambitious for Fractured. Most dev teams these days have the problem to keep the publishers happy more than the players. If they are at risk to not meet the estimated release date the publishers are forcing them to release it anyway.
They want to see their invest to give back some revenue. This results are frustrated players cause they think they play a Beta instead of a full released game.
Only big companys with a name can shift out their release dates again and again (Blizzard) cause they have a proven track record. Hard to do so for new or little companies.

Hi Vyr,

I bought a Aristrocrat Pack just for the fun of a butler who serves me.
Well aside from that the Founder Castle is very intriguing and I hope it turns out quite the eye catcher.

cheers Lil

Hello together,

it is time to test the foundation of the city management in the next A2-T3 test!
I would welcome everyone to join me in our conquest near the Vale of Shadows.
The city is already claimed (see below) and we have space for additonal people.
It is located just southwest of the southern starting point (star) on the ocean so no big way to walk either.
Hope a lot of you will join to test this out with me and enjoy the great view over the sea.

Cheers Lil

@PeachMcD thx for the reminder my friend.
I already have created Duath a couple of hours ago.
It is right east of the starting town in the south near Vale of Shadows so you can join.
I will message you the city password.
@Xzait same goes for you

I am totaly for D&D like character creation. I personally have enough of those games where decisions have no consequences.
I find it good to try something and if it is not working to start over again as a learning process. It is not wasted time in my opinion since we will get faster to the same point since we gained knowledge about the game during our first try.
Games these days are realy user friendly and alow a lot of margin for errors which you can correct.
I like the old days like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale where you were sitting hours on character creation to get the best possible party together.
So no attribute changes after creation for me.

Hello together,

I had to fight with personal problems the last 5 days starting on Saturday which leaved me in doubt If I even can pariticpate in the next test.
Therefore I disbanded the city and got to go to solve my personal problems.
I apologise to everyone who put their trust in me in building this city for the next test.
I thank those who reached out to me out of concern and replied to those yesterday as well.
I hope Dùath will continue in the future after I take a longer break after the next test to sort personal things out.

Cheers Lil

During the last Q&A Prometheus explained they are planning to implement support classes like Bard (yes!), but also Necromancer, Summoner and Animaltamer.
Also interesting is that he confirmed that charisma has not so much use in the game right now. It will be important for taming pets later on or for bards to increase their songs for example.
The option to charm monsters and let those fight against other monsters is a nice idea.
The controlling of summons seems to work differently for Summoners and Necromancers.
While Necromancer pets just follow you and attack your target the summons of the Summoner have a pet bar similar to that of a Tamer.
Also they will implement the ability to buff your party or debuff your enemies.
Once this one is in the game it will create a complete new dynamik for the party.
The bard will be the most interesting character for me.
It was mentioned that he can only have one passive aura active (like the passive mage skills) and will have combat abilitys to kill monsters as well.
He can play buff and debuff melodies, which is the main objective I guess.
Its time to get some nusic in the tavern!
What are your thoughts on that?

Cheers Lil

Since the test is coming to a close I want to thank everyone who participated in building and maintaining Dùath.
I hope you will join me in the city during the next test as well.
Until then I whish everyone a nice Christmas time and to stay strong and healthy during this chaotic times!

Cheers Lil

@Arheyn ""No sorry go fuck" if that is your way of communicating we won't miss you.

@PeachMcD unfortunately this is the old Q&A from March the last one was from begin of August between Morrolan and Prometheus.

@Gothix Prometheus mentioned that it will cost some money to create a different song for each bard spell. As for now they will simplify this and maybe later on work on this task.

I also want to add that blood magic school for Necromancy using life is also coming. Also important is the restoration school with more healing spells like aoe healing/buffs so people can actually specialise in healing people.

But timeline when this will be available was not mentioned. My guess would be somewhere in Beta 1.

I think we are too far away from the release to know how all works out in the end. Things may change through development but I wanted to include all possibilities.
Would be nice if some elite monsters patrol the roads and looking for some food? 🤭
Maybe also a monster invasion into the city?
Same would go for Bandits as npc if they decide to implement them.
Why not give ppl the opportunity to earn some coin by killing those for others who would like more to focus on crafting and trading?
Would be nice if crafters /merchants could make a living without heavy fighting.

@Prometheus thx a lot for clarification! Looking forward to the progress and can't wait for Arboreus.

Cheers Lil

I know games where it takes one whole day to produce one item. 8 leather in 16 hours is not a problem for me. Why the rush? Don't know if it is good for the game to give access to everything that easy. I like the idea to built something up even if it takes time. Other games make the mistake of giving ppl everything easy cause they demand it and later on the same ppl get bored quite fast cause they run out of content.

@Zaskskor I think it makes more sense to ask that question in the Italian forum section?
