@Specter said in new test?:

(...)It just means the alpha will start at some point during the second half of October.

Or, rather is planned to start then if there's no real roadblock
Game development can be tricky and 'bad stuff happens', so don't be disappointed, or even worse plan your life/free time around a date for as test, even if it gets announced.

@Talzus said in What are the "Optional" choices you would like to see in the next test?:

wouldnt it be better to make a poll, so the results can be tracked?

I fear that our option has very little impact on the availability of the functionality. Yes, there is some influence, but the main deciding factor is certainly what the developers can get done by that time. Remember, it's a 'nice to have, if things work out just fine' and sadly, in programming and especially game development, things working 'just fine' is more of an ultra rare

Congratulations to all winners!
Keep up the (hopefully civil) discussions

Welcome to Fractured!
Have fun getting experience

I'd be surprised if they would miss an opportunity for revenue that generally seems to work well for MMORPGs, but as of right now, the priority should really be on developing the game. First impression is something people underestimate, but it can hamper sales for a game.

Thank you and congratulations to all winners!
Keep posting and having fun!

(...)As always people are starting to cherry pick from posts(...)

I think you misunderstood me @Stacy555, I am sorry if I didn't express myself properly.

@Stacy555 said in Whats in the future graphically.:

(...)Someone is clearly working on graphics ... so there is the resource

Yes, the key difference is, it's 'someone' here and '100-300 people' in each of the other games you mentioned. That 'someone' (and it's more than one person at Fractured as well) has to get all the graphics done to finish the technology stuff for humans, then get things done for Beastman and for Demon planet. And all of that by the time the programmers have finished their part of the work, because you don't want graphics to delay testing.
They simply won't have the time and manpower to get every detail right on graphics this early on in game development with the few people they have available. Especially if you compare them to products with art teams several times their size. That's all I was trying to say and hint at, since people (including myself) often tend to forget that.
I'm not trying to diminish your point, but explain why it likely won't happen for a long while (or maybe at all) unless we get really lucky

@Stacy555 said in Whats in the future graphically.:

(...)Kingmaker pathfinder, and to be honest Baldurs gate(...)

It's a little amusing to me, since all four of these games have one thing in common. Each of them had a higher budget (read more people working on) the art assets than Fractured has for everything, art, programmers, marketing,...
Could the graphics be better? Certainly.
Just where are you going to take the resources?

Congratulations to all (three) winners!
Keep posting and having fun!

@Filou said in Alpha 2 – Test 4, starting in October 2020!:

(...)muß ich das so hinnehmen?(...)

Nein, ich wollte lediglich darauf hinweisen das 'burnout' eine nicht zu unterschätzende 'Gefahr' für derartige Szenarien darstellt, was man eventuell in seine Überlegungen einbeziehen sollte.

Btw. man könnte auch argumentieren die Spieler sollten einen Übersetzer nutzen um im englischen Forum aktiv zu sein, wo einem schnell klar wird, so einfach ist das nicht.
