@zeddock said in what do you like to see next from the developers?:

@logain I would rather them make the best game possible instead of rushing to meet goals.

I think you misunderstood me there, sorry for not expressing myself better.
I am not saying they should 'rush' things, quite far from that, but they have set goals and these goals are important to me, since they are what they claim to be financially viable and secure. So if they drastically miss these goals, the predicted timeline is more and more unreliable and as such is funding. A lack of funding and a missing proper prediction of timeline are the factors that most often kill projects, as simple as that.
So, if they can show they meet their own goals, it means they were able to properly predict and manage resources, which raises the likelihood of that happening again in the future and as such the game being released.
Does that make more sense now?

Welcome to Fractured!

@therippyone said in Keys distribution date:

(...)We know about when the pre-alpha will start - 4th quarter, and probably closer to December (...)

Could it be that you confused pre-alpha with alpha 1? The development roadmap states pre-alpha to happen around October, though I wouldn't nail them to that month.

I'd say let them develop and display their vision of the knowledge and interactive/counter/environment battle system first, then test it and then let's provide feedback. They have a rather clear vision, so they should have a chance to get that set and running.

I'd want them to take the steps they announced (survey, store, pre-alpha) in the time frame they announced after a nice relaxing holiday. And once we saw pre-alpha, a little more detailed road-map to Alpha 1.

@axan22 said in Kickstarter Is Over! What's Next?:

some more vids would be great seem its been a while.

I'd advocate to let them focus on pushing out pre-alpha in their scheduled timeframe and work on Alpha 1. Because when they reach that, there should be enough footage and they wouldn't have to take time off from development.

@lovechildbell said in Why Magic users will be OP compared to physical users:

(...) having "the best" stats and thats not who this game is made for.

There is a planet specifically dedicated to PvP, so I'm not sure how valid that statement might me. You are right in that one can play 'without that mindset' just fine as Beastman, but there's still other races that might not have that comfort.

@muker said in Gathering resources:

@ryatsuga It feels like you don't know the standard resources in MMO.... Stone, ore, plants, etc

There might be other 'non standard' resources as well though, which is likely what he meant to ask.

@axan22 said in Why Magic users will be OP compared to physical users:

in the gameplay vid the wiz was very squishy the melee warrior type did most of the work.

That should massively depend on the type of enemy you're facing though, since we know that some builds can 'counter' other builds enough that this is a determining factor in PvP battles.

There's a solid (logic) reason why you won't ave 'solo player towns'. Since the world isn't instanced, there's limited space, which means there's a limited amount of 'towns' possible and if solo players could claim them... well, you'd run out of possibilities fast.

@gothix said in Why Magic users will be OP compared to physical users:

(...)you can't just "re balance" that(...)

Yes, you can. That's the magic of (proper) object oriented programming in combination with providing not one, but a broad range of balancing hooks.

@gothix said in Why Magic users will be OP compared to physical users:

(...)"Fact 1" is assumed and planned by devs (...)People can catch up yes, but if learning time is long, and Fractured does plan it to be long, then certain "classes" progressing much faster then others would be very unfair.

~IF~ there is such an imbalance to learning skills, then you have a pure 'pay to win' scenario with how VIP works anyway.

Don't forget that attributes play into other elements as well (such as crafting). It's possible to balance that concept without having to completely redesign the core concept of it. I'd say, wait till Beta, when it's about getting balance right, then if things still seem off, give them your feedback.

@target said in The Lich vs. the Angel and Abomination:

(...)sacrifice their bodies for their powers, regardless of the evilness or goodness of their motives.

I have been a little surprised, since my vision was that they not only sacrifice part of themselves, but also sacrifice/consume souls of others (by which they gain power). That's why I would have assumed them to be evil, but I'm fine with them working as neutral for humans in Fractured.

@esoba said in Larger Crafting Possibilities?:

(...)More of a blueprint system(...)

Actually, I like that they are going for a minimal (easy to implement) system. They have a limited amount of programmers working on the project and I'd rather them do things 'right', then do plenty of stuff, but just barely 'working'.

@muker said in newsletters:

@althalus Not all news is sent, it's normal.

And that's actually good, since you don't want to 'annoy' people with triggering them too often!

Guess it's waiting till 15th August!
Happy holidays!

@blackjacksjc said in How do people get so many points?:

(...) I have 83 recruits who gave me only 450 points(...)

10 recruits would already get you a minimum of 1000 points ('RECRUIT 10 FRIENDS TO FRACTURED' quest).

@fibs said in How do people get so many points?:

A few days ago someone claimed to be in the #3 spot with only 3 referrals, and said he would still be #3 if he didn't have any of them.

That was me (on Discord). I'm at 46,195 points, and #4 is at 43,875 points (so a 2320 points margin). My three recruits have earned me a total of 900 points. (If somebody's really curious, they can send me a chat message and I'd provide details on my point distribution ). Basically, it's daily postings for me (and as a result a decent amount of won weekly drawings) over the last several month.

@jetah said in Kickstater backers vs Fracturedmmo.com backers:

I'd suggest they raise the prices and remove some of the top tier packages.

But give people without credit card the chance to buy at the same price first!

Thanks for the stream, going to watch the recording soon
