@Prometheus said in Alpha 2 - Test 2 Launch Day Revealed:

(...)To get knowledge from a monster you need to deal enough damage to get "loot rights" as if you weren't member of a party(...)

Doesn't that somewhat diminish the value of 'support oriented' characters (which is one of the reasons other games share experience based on other criteria as well in parties)?

Welcome to Fractured!
I hope you and your loved one are going to enjoy the game

Thanks a bunch and it's great to see that you're making such progress!
Two questions:

1. When you're in a party, do all members of the party get 'full' credit to the knowledge tree (unlock and knowledge points), or is it 'shared' to some degree, or only the one finishing the creature?
2. When you're in stealth and are close to a group of others, do you take highest perception, a sum of perception, or something different to determine the 'counter'?

Congratulations to all winners!
Keep posting and having fun on the forum!

And another day

If it's as easy as a new texture and makes people happy, I'm all for it. But I wouldn't consider it high priority right now. It's one of these things where I'm always in favor of 'get the game done, ensure that it's good and works well, then deliver fancy decoration stuff'.

@Jetah said in Foundation:

(...)Even Jacob mentioned a rabbit was a rabbit and there was no reason to spend more when it's already created and cheaper than they can create it for. (or something similar)

I wonder how much leeway they have with shaders and textures. Got to remember pestering them when they are less busy and stressed out to see if they are CPU or GPU bound on the more 'intense' scenes.

I'm glad you're all healthy and wish you the best of luck. Stay safe!
As for the game, I'm looking forward to the Alpha 2 Test 2 start and am glad that you're considering the feedback you received.

@Jetah said in Foundation:

(...)why would they recreate animals, like rabbits, wolves, bears, when they purchased complete ones already to go for a much cheaper price (...) and i didn't know they were purchased(...)

That's the point though. You might not notice, I might not notice, but a lot of people do. A rabbit is not just a rabbit, there's always some form of art style in there and that can vary drastically. It's a bit like if you and I both agree on a topic on the forum and we'd both write parts of a response, plenty of people could tell two different person wrote that response, even through we'd agree on the topic, because the way we express our stance on the topic is different in choice of words, phrases, structure,...

@Jetah said in Foundation:

(...) they did buy some easy models from the store so that saved them from needing to create that.

Which they stated are for the purpose of testing and will be replaced before the game launches. At the end of the day, non of use has to decide this. The suggestion for expanding the foundation has been made, the preference of some to focus on the game has been stated, so there's not much more to add there.

@Jetah said in Foundation:

(...)there are plenty of 3rd world countries where you can pay so much less for art, meshes, 3d models, etc than doing it in house.

It isn't trivial to convey a fitting, persistent art style though, which is important to some people (note the 'why did they purchase assets discussion'). The cheapest option isn't always the best one.
