I have a (possibly naive) question. Wouldn't a 'good alignment' guild/city have trouble maintaining their good alignment if they are supposed to attack people for farming their territory (there's going to be plenty of 'farming' characters with good alignment that would be used to contest these resources). Or they'd have to get special characters meant for that purpose with a 'bad alignment', but that seems a bit counter productive, since they couldn't be part of the guild/city.

You're making sure that the recorded version can be watched at a later point, right? 
(Just a reminder 
)
Sorry for the stupid question, but where is that video? I don't see anything posted in news/dev updates/ design journal...
Fresh start with each new test (at least so far, might change later down the road).
@Ostaff said in Are guilds world specific.:
(...)It is the way the game is currently implemented (...) it is less likely that they would make "coding" changes and more likely to make changes to statements that they made before the game had ever been developed(...)
I'm not going to jump into the discussion there, since I have no credible source of information, but I seriously dare to doubt that conclusion. They are often implementing 'placeholders', in order to be able to advance on a different topic, which is then being completely reworked later on. That's actually a rather common practice with programming and I can't imagine that guild functionality would be considered final and fleshed out just yet.

As long as it's optional, great. But I'd hope it's far down the priority list of what should be worked on, especially when there's plenty of core functionality still missing (races, planets,...).
Thank you and congratulations to all winners!
Keep posting and having fun!

No, since AI is run on the server there is increase in client sided requirements or traffic.

Even if Fractured would be using a behavior tree (which I doubt that it does), branching has a very, very limited effect on CPU. This is even less of an issue with a state-machine.
@GamerSeuss said in Aggressive and predatory creatures chase range way too low.:
(...)I have both been a game designer in the past, and taught game design theory and I utilize my own experiences, and those of my students and contemporaries.
You might be amazed as to what's possible for programmers concerning AI with dedication, imagination and optimization. If you have a bit of spare time, you definitely want to check out on Screeps! Hence why I was asking for the source of your information . Yes AI is definitely within the top CPU taxing topics for the server, but without details on what's available, it's difficult if not impossible to say what could be done.
@GamerSeuss said in Aggressive and predatory creatures chase range way too low.:
(...)For obvious reasons, the AI is rather limited in resources for things like wildlife(...)
Could you elaborate on these 'obvious reasons'? And on the kind of limitation? And you source for that information? I'm rather curious and AI is a topic that's near and dear to my heart.

I dare to disagree. I think a good amount of people want to 'reach endgame' as fast as possible with as little effort as possible.

You'd start seeing people selling 'tours', where they go and distract/kill creatures and a dozen others just idle around.
