Hi @MMMJR, we experienced some connectivity issues on Wednesday. Can you login fine now?

Prometheus

Yes, it's supposed to, definitely a bug Thank you for reporting it!

Prometheus

Thank you @Putio! The game might look the same on the surface, but there's a lot more to do compared to A1 indeed

Hope you'll have some more chances to play - this test is going to last for 2 weeks at least, so there's time. You'll find useful mage spells in Heartwood and the Goblin Hills, but actually the ones you already got from the Giant Spider (Cobweb and Entangling Web) are Arcane spells - they can be used only with cloth/light armor etc, so totally for "mages"

Prometheus

@Roccandil thank you for your detailed feedback!

Wolves and bears now have abilities too, and in the future there are going to be more creatures roaming the world you can learn abilities from.

The next patch is going to introduce some QOL improvements to combat such as your own character no longer intercepting clicks, stay tuned!

As for items disappearing, how did that happen?

Prometheus

Minor Changes

Server saving procedures improved. Over time we're going to shift away from the way we've been doing world saves so far and start relying on SpatialOS integrated systems specific for the purpose.
Base damage of all weapons is now about 25% higher.
Spider Lich no longer uses Magic Missiles, replaced by Ice Spikes.
Wolves now use Bleeding Strike.
Bears now use Bleeding Strike and Heavy Blow.
Poisons are now stronger (particularly low-level ones).
Cooldown of Firebolt reduced from 2 to 1 second.
Cooldown of Second Wind increased from 60 to 80 seconds.

Bug Fixes

Handcart mesh now detaches from other players when they release a handcart.
Killing wolves no longer counts towards Treant knowledge progress (it was a graphical bug only).
Access to Simple Workbench is now correctly open to everyone.
Arrow and spell projectiles in PvP now correctly disappear in the client when colliding with another PvP player.
Animation of other players building now displayed correctly.
A few other minor bug fixes.

Hi everyone,

soon after the launch of Alpha 2 on November 20, the live game server experienced some issues due to a wrong configuration file. This resulted in connectivity problems for most players who were unable to login - and even if one managed, the whole gaming experience was very clunky due to high latency and packet losses.

We fixed that in the afternoon and launched a new deployment of a different machine, which has been running smoothly so far. Due to the very degraded status of the original deployment, however, we didn't manage to transfer world data from it to the new one, which means houses and other player-built world items were lost.

We're working on changing our saving procedures to ensure this doesn't happen again and we apologize for the inconvenience.

See you all in game!

Best,
Jacopo

Prometheus

@Saghir @Tuoni @Trixstir the /play page was not taking into account "limited" keys indeed. It's been fixed yesterday, sorry for making you wait to play Alpha 2!

Hi @Chuck, can you message me on Discord and tell me where your character is/was in game?

Prometheus

Dear Fractured followers,

the time has come: we’re finally ready to announce the opening day of Alpha 2!

The first testing phase, labeled Alpha 2 - Test 1, is starting on Wednesday, November 20, at 4pm CET (10am ET), and is expected to last for at least two weeks.

Click here for the full announcement

See you soon in game!

@Farlander said in Just starting an uproar:

I think the problem lies in the tabs that were added did not include foundation. For some not seeing it I think is subconsciously making them think they are "cheated" in some way not seeing it added into their totals. Would it be hard to add that tab in and calculate it into the totals? I think if something like that was included all these posts would go away.

That's a good idea, we thought about adding them later but it wouldn't be particularly hard doing it now. We'll get to it when we implement pledge/founder forum titles!

Prometheus

Hi @Aries, I assume you're talking about the rewards from The Foundation since you've mentioned "character level". None of them (aside from forum titles) can be claimed because the systems supporting them haven't been implemented yet. This includes the pet companion system, the equipment skinning system and the mount system.

Most cosmetic systems will be implemented later on (beta or even full release) since gameplay has higher priority. Pet companions may be an exception and get live during Alpha, but it's not guaranteed.

I understand it can be a bit annoying, but it's common for crowdfunded game in early stages of development and it's been stated multiple times since The Foundation has been launched.

Prometheus

@BearRod this type of cart can hold 12 heavy materials, and only the one who crafted it can use it

@Xzoviac it's a focus ability (new mechanic). Focus abilities are toggle abilities, but you can have at most 2 active at the same time. Current focus abilities are protection from fire (new), protection from poison (new), mage armor and frenzy.

Prometheus

I've solved the issue and replied to your message on facebook - let's continue the discussion there

@grofire said in Porting Test Weekend & Alpha 2 Update:

do it in November 16 my b-day

That'd be cool but... we can't start a testing phase on a Saturday eheh

@Esher said in Porting Test Weekend & Alpha 2 Update:

Congrats ^^ Hope they'll not change the version again and that you'll have to do everything again ! Now you can rest a bit ^^

Nah, that's never going to happen again

@Jetah said in Porting Test Weekend & Alpha 2 Update:

dont forget to announce it on Kickstarter. even if it's just a small paragraph then a link to the news post!

I haven't forgotten this time, I swear! I just couldn't find the time to do it yesterday evening

@Logain said in Porting Test Weekend & Alpha 2 Update:

Would you be willing to provide rough statistics of before and after for the server(s) when the tests are complete, so that we can see the rate of improvement?
And when would you decide on and announce the 'additional' testing weekends?

Servers were stable and resource (CPU, bandwidth, ...) load was low before the porting already, we're not expecting an improvement there. What we expect is 0 reports "I can't launch", "I can't login", "I keep disconnecting", and the like. We'll have a forum post dedicated to that and push everyone to report there, then share the results

Prometheus

Hi everyone,

There are times when game developers get estimates right (rare), and there are times when they get them wrong (frequent). Then there are those when they get them very wrong...

...but the porting is finally over (it's going to be tested this weekend), and Alpha 2 is confirmed for November!

Enjoy Fractured!

@Prometheus said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

It was meant to be done last week but preparation for Gamescom messed our plans up - we'll do it this week for sure though!

@Prometheus Thank you for the clarification.

In future please at least give a small mention about such things (like when you mention the new shop)

We totally should have, our bad! On a side note, we also added a page to review your transactions and old pledge rewards (only visible if you're logged in):

https://fracturedmmo.com/store/my-history

Thanks a lot for your kind words @Xzoviac and @Hashmalash

Prometheus

Oh, I understand where the misunderstanding is coming from now @islesofurth! We still haven't assigned the gold from the old packs It was meant to be done last week but preparation for Gamescom messed our plans up - we'll do it this week for sure though!

Edit: we also need to implement the page that shows what pledge you used to have and what you got from it - that we'll also do this week.

Prometheus

@Bang2Gang said in Gamescon:

Hello will there be a Stream from the coming Gamescon for those who can't attend?

We'll be busy most of the times with meetings with publishers and whatnot, so no stream I'm afraid We'll surely take some pics though!
