Welcome to Fractured!
I hope you're going to enjoy your time here

@Kralith said in Week 143 - Weekly Drawing Winners:

(...)I wonder, if we get more mile stones at the Foundation one day(...)

You currently have roughly 250 people in the top tier (TF#12) and out of these, rank 100 is 'only' at level 312. Whereas you have around 43500 people in the 'lower' tiers. There's still plenty of time to focus on developing the game and not worry about adding tiers that the vast majority of players won't reach anytime soon in my humble opinion. And I would benefit from any added additional tier, so, I can't be biased against it

Congratulations to all winners!

I'm not in a hurry, too many things to do, so,...
I can feel with you though!

I have never played the game, so I can't really judge what you're stating there or compare it. I'd have to wonder though, if there's plenty alternative, why do people willingly accept basic 'slavery'? If there's some sort of force, sure, that's going to happen. But remember that Fractured is planned to be a massively large world (being a LOT LOT bigger than most other games in terms of terrain is somewhat of a selling point behind SpatialOS) with plenty of cities with plenty of nodes. And you can't just 'dominate' people either, since progression isn't grind and vertical based.

(...) Which, in turn, will be run by a governor that may only get all crafting mats for himself?

That would only work for him once, wouldn't it? All his villagers would decide to either move elsewhere, or try and act together in order to remove the governor from his position. Quite similar to how it works in our every day life as well, if we aren't happy with our government, we either try to change it, or we move to a different location.

@Specter said in Fall Alpha Dev Update #1:

(...)He's working on it.

Could he possibly include some information on the current state of the planned test? Such that it's not a definitive date, but a general idea if things are progressing as planned, or if there have been some roadblocks that are likely going to lead to delays?

Congratulations to all winners!

(...) this will create a need to keep the roads clear and repaired.

As long as roads have upkeep over time (doesn't need to be monsters destroying them), I'd be fine with it. But even in a sandbox, I wouldn't want to see miles and miles of paved terrain in 'grinding areas' or 'swearword' on the ground.

@d3Sync said in Guerrilla Marketing Suggestion:

(...)There is really not much of a downside to this(...)

There is one risk involved though. The game is not 'a game' yet, but periodic tests. If you are marketing it heavily right now, some people get a bad first impression because of wrong expectations (regardless on how often you tell people it's in Alpha, it's not a full game yet). And you only have one first impression. Or, even worse, some people burn out too fast during tests, get bored and leave, while you ideally want to have your peak time around launch.

All that said, they do need a considerably income already now, so it's a double edged sword. I'm glad I'm not in the developers position with decisions like that ^^

@Jetah said in Fall Alpha Dev Update #1:

please tell me that players will create these roads!!

Couldn't you already build some roads last test, or am I imagining things now?
That said, I guess they should be 'restricted', as in you can't just build roads wherever you want, or you're going to see a very, very strange world after a while.

Welcome to Fractured!
Looking forward to see you in game and hope you're going to enjoy your time there

The new video format is great indeed. Keep it (and the updates) going.
As always, thanks a bunch for your dedication and work

@Vollmond said in Coinage and Monster Gold Loot:

From QA 4/2020
(...)gear/power to just farm(...)

The question should rather be, is Fractured going to be a grinding game or not? If it's not (as advertised), what is the incentive to explore, socialize, build and whatever else there's going to be?
Because, if there's not enough incentive to grind, is it a real threat to economy?
