@dj35 @Kralith @Haughty @Razvan @MonkP there was a bug that made some monsters spawners generate 2x, 3x or even 4x the correct amount of creatures. It's been fixed during the course of the playtest

Hi everyone!

Fractured’s second stress test open to all registered users has ended – and it’s been a success. Here come our findings!

Read the review

Enjoy Fractured!

@Jetah @Razvan we'll try to make the system as smart as possible, but in general we don't have such long impassable mountains on the map. The only exception is the chain surrounding the Vale, but there will be no towns within it, so that won't be a problem

@Balderly I understand how travelling for a long time can be annoying right now, so we're definitely considering adding a switch to simulate holding the left mouse button down

@Razvan said in How will loot drop work?:

In Albion for example, when you die in blue zone, mobs don't attack you for a short time after you get up so death is less time consuming.

This is going to happen in Fractured too, the fact monsters currently aggro instantly on you again when you stand up from knock-out is terribly annoying in some circumstances.

@Razvan said in How will loot drop work?:

Anyway, when it comes to safe zones I don't see why you'd prefer to walk 15min back to your body after getting killed instead of getting up with a little protection from mobs so you can escape and recover.

In Fractured, if you are careful and keep you Life above 0 you can always stand back up 30s after knock-out, safe zone or not, unless another player is allowed to finish you off and does so.

@Gothix said in How will loot drop work?:

How about pick pocketing on Arboreus? There is no pvp combat involved and it can require certain player skills. If attempt fails get karma punishment. If successful get random item from bag.

Not happening in a scenario where the victim cannot retaliate

If you get killed (knocked out with 0 Life), you can choose if you want to respawn at your place or at the closest town (note: towns are not implemented yet). Disregarding your choice, you leave your body with all your items behind, equipment included. You can run back to get them - the body will stay there for a while, but other players can steal them from your corpse (unless you are a Beastman on Arboreus, which makes you largely protected from hostile behaviors).

@Clinion @Razvan @Farlander there's one part of the game that's still missing which is at the core of your issues here: cities! The closest one will always serve as respawn point if you die, will provide local storage for your items, will allow you to rest in a tavern, etc. It will truly make the travelling experience feel very different, without taking away that "preparation" part that players like @Balderly enjoy, which is actually a core component of the Fractured experience

@kerespup @Aeyt carts will no longer block passage from the next patch on

@Abbiyr said in February 2020 Open Playtest:

Is there any chance for the SpacialOS launcher to be available during this open test?

We might enable it for today's patch. Is there any specific reason why you'd want to use that instead of the Fractured Launcher though?

@MrTimo said in New Shaders For Fractured:

I think Fractured needs some new shaders or something. Everything still looks flat and blends in. Its all neutral grays kinda like the how the concept art is. Not a whole lot of contrast and I think the characters and items get lost in all the grays, browns, and greens. Nothing really pops. Idk. What are your opinions on this?

Check out my edit of it. https://imgur.com/a/txBvMyP

Hi @MrTimo, your edited screenshot looks good indeed (although over-saturated), but I assume you're not playing yet, right? Because we've made changes to lighting and post-processing too, so colors are already more vivid than they used to be at the time the screenshot you posted was taken!

Hi @grofire,

@Logain said in February 2020 Open Playtest:

I'm curious, is there a reason why you decided to host the open test now, instead of waiting till more of the announced test 2 features are implemented (e.g. after the Alpha 2 test)?
Specifically party and land management would seem to have been features that would have served very well for a public facing test.

Most of the other features are being developed in parallel and will be ready right before the start of A2-T2. Doing the Open Playtest after the launch of A2-T2 would have meant running it around mid-March. We wanted to drop the playtest ASAP to compensate for the previous one

@Jamantis said in February 2020 Open Playtest:

So excited. She does the client download come available. The day of launch?

The day before you get access (later today if you're a backer, Wednesday if you're not)

Hi @Marovec! Several schools of magic include support spells. Restoration is the main one, but there will be plenty in Musicianship too Check out the spotlight below:

@sqter said in February 2020 Open Playtest:

Where can i download the game?

https://fracturedmmo.com/play, but download will become available only soon before the test, likely on Monday.

Hi @Fraxav, the account guard uses cookies indeed. It's kind of a standard implementation for such a system - it's not only people in faraway places that can get hold of your password The control on multiple failed login attempts also exists, but it serves another purpose (preventing brute force attacks).

If it annoys you, you can disable it completely from your account menu!

Hi @Bastic, the reason why you didn't have your pledge assigned is because you never completed the "kickstarter survey" (which asked for your Fractured account username) that we sent to all backers after the campaign was over.

I found your pledge and filled it manually for you, it should be all good now

@Kuroi said in February 2020 Open Playtest:

@Prometheus i hope you fixed the crashes when loading the game with Windows 7

That's been fixed on December 1st!
