@d3Sync said in Knowledge Point Sink?:
I understand that there will be hundreds of abilities in the game. But not everyone will learn all of them. And I'm wondering if we're all going to end up with rather large sums of knowledge points sitting on our characters with no where to use them.
The learning of skills and talent trees take a huge amount of points, but other than that I think we also use them for "leveling" skills. Other than that, I do not know of anything.
This one reminds me of the "Free to Play Games" mentality 
It's amazing how it works so well.
Also, just cause thinking of these also brought back another kewl thing I was told a long time ago by one of my business professors.....
My teacher brought in an empty large glass jar one day to class along with a jar of sand, a box of small pebbles and a box of rocks. He started the class out by putting the glass jar on his desk and then filling it to the top with the rocks from the box. Then he asked us "So, is this glass full? It isn't." and he started poking the small pebbles between the holes in the rocks. Then he asked "Now is the glass full? No, it isn't" and he poured the sand into the jar of rocks until it was topped off. "What is the meaning of this test?" One guy said "No matter how full you think it is, you can still manage to put more in." and my teacher said "No. The meaning is, if you do all the small things first, you won't have room to put in the bigger things."
A simple test has been done several times on the human mentality in exactly this regards. A researcher will go out and select three random people from a crowd. He will then proceed to give each of them money. The first person he will give $1 too, the second one he will give $5 to and the last one he will give $10 to. This is literally money they never had before he gave them the money, however, every time the first two always complained how it was "unfair" that one of them would get $10 and not them. Instead of being thankful that they are all now richer, they saw were envious.
Another fun research I also had to study once was where a group of 20 random people were broken down into 5 groups of 4. A bowl would be placed before them a quarter full of marbles on a flat scale. The researcher at the start would tell the groups "At the end of 1 minute, for each marble you have in your possession, you will be given a dollar bill and the marbles left in the bowls will be doubled. This will be a 3 minute trial." (Special notes: A rule stipulated that "once a marble has been removed from the bowl, it could not be replaced. The groups were close enough to see the other groups but only able to communicate within their own group. An extra 6th group would actually be involved as well but it was a setup group and not formed of random people)
I'll let you figure out what they should do, and what a very rare amount of groups actually do.
But only specific places on Arboreus can be raided. So if a furry doesn't want to pvp, they don't have to worry about it at all.
It is open pvp on 1 planet, criminal pvp on a second, and no pvp on a third. There is no pay to win items in the game, only pay for cosmetics, therefore there are no "exclusive items" that have been given other than cosmetic items.
In regards to the political state of the US.. .I think we are screwed no matter which party gets elected. I think I would like a Richard Pryor version of voting....
"VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!"
in regards to that last statement.. I would now hereby like to nominate a new presidential candidate... my dog Toby!
I like the caravan and actually "riding" the boat ideas... though I doubt they will give us the boat idea since we have dock portaling....the caravan may actually happen if not by the players themselves if we get "wagons" that can carry not only "goods" but players as well
Personally, I would like to have fast travel options for cities on the opposite ends of a map and to different maps on the same planet that are open once a player has gotten there by regular movement the first time. To me, I hate meaningless redundancy and that includes having to walk everywhere over and over and over and over again for 30 minutes or more at a time. So, far reaching teleportation spots for those who have already been to that spot.... TWO THUMBS UP!.
(Ohh... those DAOC horse rides!!! LOL... I remember them I liked DAOC )
@Mata I love that word!!!
@Gibbx What an interesting religion that I have literally never heard of!

I would think that the graphics for Fractured will only get better in time.. and maybe eventually when they have time they will be able to add in wind effects and etc to bring the environment more into play. However, I do think gameplay should be the first priority to getting the game out

ust sacrificing the rest of it, but I fear what 2021 may hold...
The enemy you know is better than the one you don't.
hmmm.. and maybe they could add in more knowledge points for when you discover a new and useful use for that gathered item? or like mobs, items have several layers that must be studied and when you study them to that level you gain more knowledge and learn new uses for them? hrmmmm???
What? err... no... (scratches his head)... I'm me... you are you.. you can't be me..... cause I can't be you....so you can't be I which is me.... uh... I think?? \_(O.O)_/
