@Recoil said in City Claiming Has Launched:
I think after they dropped the price on most mid/high tier packs Aristocrat got lowered to 850 Euros.
@Prometheus are these Aristocrat packs going to continue to be available until launch? Or are there only a few slots you guys are planning to sell?
The price has always been 850 eur, only once (during a general pack sale) we sold a couple copies for 750 eur 
We are just selling a few copies now, we might sell others once we release new continents
@grimalkin said in Types of armor?:
What are the differences between the different armor types? Do the heavier ones encumber you and make you slower,etc?
Resistance to physical damages, magical damages, and encumberment are all factors indeed. Plus, armors can be crafted in different ways to be more or less fitting to different temperatures, which feeds into the whole travelling concept :slight_smile:
@lehuan5062 said in Vietnamese Discussions:
According to @OutlawHero, @Prometheus wrote that Vietnam is among the top 10 visitors to the site and forum. Outlaw also suggests that the forum should has a Vietnamese Discussion in the Non-English Discussions (me too). I gonna post an English topic about Hero/God info for the hero profile creation, and willing to post in Vietnamese too if we have the VN discussion
Hi @lehuan5062! The section has been created - enjoy! 
@Logain said in Play Fractured Free On G.Round:
Such a great offer! I really wish you guys luck on being considered for an investment. Can people who already have pledged for Fractured alter your odds of an investment as well?
Well, nothing prevents you from signing up on G.Round, leaving a like to Fractured and eventually a review too - that'd be surely appreciated!
If you leave a review you should specify you've been a player before the G.Round test though, not only for the sake of honesty but also because they can verify whether you've actually used your key and played during the test
@vengu said in Authenticator:
Will we be able to protect our accounts with an authenticator? I assume so but I just need to be sure.
You will :slight_smile: We'll implement it when the first alpha tests get live and account stealing will sadly become a real risk.
Of course, we're not talking of the Fractured user database being hacked as we're using the best protections available. Plus, even if it that happened, passwords are stored hashed with slow algorithms and unique salts - brute-forcing them is technically impossible.
The scenario we're talking about it that of a player whose account got compromised on other web portals (that got hacked and didn't store passwords safely) and who used the same password for Fractured - something that is out of our control and that only an authenticator can indeed stop.
That being said, there's another way you anyone can minimize that risk - by checking out all your email addresses here to see if they've been involved in a security breach, and if so, change all the passwords that you're reusing.
@logain said in Multiple Races Guild and Bonuses for Race-Restricted Guild:
I kind of wonder how beastmen and demons can be in the same Guild. At least lore and even gameplay wise. That's going to be an interesting concept when we see it!
They can't. Mixed guilds will be alignment-restricted anyway! So you'll see guilds of good Humans and Beastmen, or guilds of evil Humans and Demons.
If a Beastman is in the same guild as a demon it's because it's a Renegade. Similarly, if a Demon is in the same guild as a Beastman it's because it's a Redeemed. Please note Renegade Beastmen and Redeemed Demons are very complex concepts (for us to implement and for players to achieve) and will be implemented way later than the first Alphas.
@Madurbu said in Play Fractured Free On G.Round:
@Prometheus When I click get a game key, a window pops up saying here is your key....but it's blank
It's just been fixed by the g.round devs, just refresh the page and try again
@Karuro the point number 3 @Holya made is pretty much the answer. Guilds, alliances and reigns will make plans, not "races" :slight_smile:
Of course, the possibility that a race-wide alliance is formed to serve a specific purpose in a certain moment in time is not to be excluded - but that's all emergent gameplay, and anyway it will be the (hypothetical) alliance being "infiltrated", not the "race" :slight_smile:
@Vengu @Esher player cities and gods are spotlights we already have planned indeed! :slight_smile: The one on player cities will likely be split in two parts, given it's a huge one.
@Logain @Ghoster we'll reveal more info about Kickstarter once we announce the campaign - probably around one month before it actually begins. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little more 
@Fyrsey we'd rather discuss that while showing it on video!
@Blectorn said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
Friendly fire, yes
@Prometheus When will the lists with the top 100 players and top 10 cities of the last alpha be published?
Soon
Hi @Hellmaster91 - plenty of lovely questions but I'm afraid it's really too early for us to reply to most of them.
Mounts will exist, but they're one of the very few things with core mechanics not fleshed out yet.
Vehicles the way (I think) you're imagining them won't exist - Fractured will have carts, carriages and the like to transport goods, but not a "bus" driven by a player carrying other players eheh. That'd be a really huge feature to develop that wouldn't add much to gameplay, so it's something we can't afford as a (relatively) small team :slight_frown:
Sorry for the wait guys! Here it is!

@Logain said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
Can the attacker and/or the victim turn PvP mode off during the battle?
They can, but that just prevents them from targeting / damaging their opponent(s). And yes, it is turned on automatically for all party members nearby if one is attacked.
@Ostaff said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
You will always be able to initiate PvP through melee, just by attacking the other player.
So in this sense, its not that you are in PvP mode, it is only that you are in "able to hurt your allies" mode.
No, that's not how it works You do need PvP Mode to hurt someone with your melee attacks.
In Fractured, melee attacks are all directional / AOE effects themselves. Some just hit the first valid target in front of the player (punches, daggers), others hit all valid target in a line (spears), others - most of them, in fact - hit all valid targets in a conical area. Left-clicking on a creature is just a convenient way to run towards said creature and aim your melee attacks towards its current position (just like left-clicking when holding a bow or staff really).
@Ostaff said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
And your alignment only changes if you "execute" the player and not just damage them?
Alignment (Good or Evil) is something you choose, the Good option being available only if you have positive Karma. If the question was "does your karma only changes if you "execute" the player", the answer is nope, as explained in the Karma paragraph of the post
karma [...] can quickly be lost when performing the following actions:
Flagging yourself as Evil (karma drops to 0 if higher).
Attacking / looting Good players.
Stealing from carts / stealing carts.
Killing Good players (major loss).
@Extreminador said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
@Prometheus so, why not having a formula to set the jail time ?
There is, it's based on your karma. Anything else is way too complex to track
@logain said in Artifacts and Technology:
In that very context, I'm curious if the other races could benefit from human technology as well? And if so, what mechanics would keep people from using 'secondary accounts' for that purpose.
No, they can't :slight_smile:
@velish said in New info coming?:
Are they going to do a crowdsource?
If they want more cash they should do what crowfall did and sell shares in the game/business
What you're referring to is "equity crowdfunding" (selling shares of Dynamight Studios through authorized portals). That's something we might consider but only later on. Kickstarter is going to happen first :slight_smile:
@logain said in New info coming?:
Some games go in the thousands, some in the hundreds
We definitely won't go in the thousands nor in the hundreds for Beta/Alpha access!
@BearRod said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
The bounty hunter concept is going to be fun to try out. Has there been a determination on the length of prison stay for players that are captured? Will there be a visual timer so that they know? And will it be in game time or real time for the sentences.
We haven't decided yet, it could range from a few hours to a couple days. Real time.
@Extreminador said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
@Prometheus so imagine a evil player (lets call her Harley, heheheh) steals a cart from from a good player. Can I has a good player do something to help the good player from retrieving is cart ?
Yes, if a cart if listed as Stolen the owner or a member of the owner's party / guild can get it back
@boogis said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
so all good players will be collecting gold and eventialy become RED (evil) cos they have nothing to do with so much amounts of money.
That's a pretty extreme conclusion Gold is used to claim territories and land parcels, pay for city and parcel maintenance, buy items on the (upcoming) marketplace, travel at harbors, etc. You definitely need it, for a lot of reasons. There may be inflation of course and that would make it easier for a PK to buy his way out, but I hardly think it will make everyone want to turn into a PK
@Ostaff said in Winter Alpha Spotlight - Criminal System:
I had first read the article as toggling "Friendly Fire" on/off which to me would make sense and be good to have... but not turning PvP itself off or on. That completely goes against a Crime System where there is a penalty for attacking players who do not want to be attacked.
I think you misunderstood what the PvP mode does, I've added a couple lines to the post to clarify that
Please also note that PvP mode exists only to avoid damaging potential targets accidentally with directional abilities / projectiles and AOE effects. Once you attack someone, your victim will enter PvP mode as well. Whether a player is a potential target or not depends only on your alignment and the other player’s alignment, as explained in the first paragraph of this article.
@holyavengerone said in Expansions and future content:
Given the above answer, my understanding is that there won't ever be a fee for additional game content beyond the initial purchase. No expansions, no DLCs, no item shop. Am I reading that right?
@Vengu there will be an item store selling cosmetic enhancements (skins for your character, equipment, pets, etc) - that is pretty much sure. No expansions, DLCs and other forms of content restriction.
@vengu said in Can you think of truly immersive and meaningful quests in the Fractured world?:
@prometheus I assume Divination has nothing to do with those divine schools then?
It's not divine schools but divine spells :slight_smile: And yeah, they're not related to Divination.
@Kralith said in Spring Alpha Major Release #1:
That guilds just make one Bounty Hunter for the reason to reset their evil characters.
We'll see how it goes, yeah
@casgadom said in Expansions and future content:
@prometheus Is it planned to do some user based cosmetics? Like an art contest and the winner gets some freebies + the art gets implemented?
As @Vengu said, that might definitely be a Kickstarter reward, in different forms at different tiers :slight_smile:
