@Prometheus what happens, if our knowledge about torches is too weak, do we burn accidentially the woods down?

Hmm nope Everyone has a good innate knowledge about torches

@logain said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

Is the amount of visible light going to have in game effects (e.g. influence aiming with ranged weapons), or is that for 'players convenience'?

No other effects planned as of today

@jairone said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

@vortech So long as they find a method to keep people from altering the night brightness in various ways, sure. However, experience with recent efforts toward really dark nights in PvP games has shown that to be... tough at best.

Fractured will ship with a strong anti-cheat system, but we share your concerns, we'll see how it plays out in Alpha.

@pushedx said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

Looking good! Will we be seeing more of these "content pills" leading up into Alpha?

Sure, giving you more frequent content updates is why the pills concept was born!

@lovechildbell @Kralith @Gothix yes, you'll need torches, definitely

@gothix said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

I'm also getting curious now.. perhaps some night vision sight for shadow demons that are biologically "made" to hunt better in the dark.

Yes, they have that innate ability, and night sigh is also a spell.

@azraelius said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

Wonder if there will be spells to create light, magelight?

Yes, there's one that summons a globe of light

@esher said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:

Does the UI will stay like that ? And what did you use to do the water ?

The UI is just a first iteration, but conceptually it will stay like that, yes. The water is made with a shader applied to a plane, as it's usually done

@grofire said in October Update – On GIP, Pre-Alpha & More:

@specter cool, and we will get some time before so we can get ready for it ?

We'll send the email a few days in advance for sure.

@logain said in October Update – On GIP, Pre-Alpha & More:

One question about Pre-Alpha, when you mention that invites are going to be continuous, does that imply the test server is going to be persistent throughout that time, or is it going to be up and down periodically?

It will be up and down periodically

@galdran @MeninoDeOuro you both didn't opt-in to the newsletter when you signed up I just did it for you. We'll add the option to do it yourselves in the account page on the website ASAP.

@Althalus you reported one of our emails as spam and your address was blacklisted... I re-enabled it, but please don't report them anymore, would you?

Hi everyone!

October is almost gone, and we've been a little silent while we sprint towards the upcoming launch of the Fractured Pre-Alpha, which we are now glad to announce is really behind the corner.

That's not the only great news this month has brought, however. Let's cover them all!

As always, let us know what you think of this update… and brace yourselves for the Pre-Alpha!

Fractured's Alpha 1 will feature a full day/night cycle. Here's a short preview of a day and a night on the banks of a river located of Syndesia (grassland biome). The character is a placeholder, in use until we complete our new character models.

Hi all! @Specter has already explained why news have been so infrequent in the last couple months - it's because I'm the one writing them and I always have a lot of other high-priority tasks to take care of. Writing news is the thing I do when I have some spare time.

That being said, I'm writing an update right now, coming today or tomorrow!

@animus7wanderer3 said in Confusion?:

You're backer 833.
You have successfully pledged €25.00 to Fractured - The Dynamic MMO. This project is now one step closer to becoming a reality.
Confirmation number:**************************************

I guess you're received that email when you made the pledge, right? When you do that, Kickstarter doesn't withdraw the money from your credit card. As you've written in the message below, you only get charged only when the campaign is over.

Try to look for Kickstarter emails on July 25, there should be one that tells you that the payment didn't go through. Let us know!

Ahahah thank you!

@azraelius said in Restoration magic and summons:

I plan on making a character that focuses on restoration, enjoy playing the support role. just curious if besides healing this school will also allow the use of some summons?

Hi azraelius! That reference is not really about summons, but more about animating items (like a classic Animate Weapon spell) and constructs already built by you or other players, such as the golems/elementals mentioned by @Gothix

@daz said in Crafting - Cooking:

As a demon cook will I be able to deep fry my human and beast kills ?

Ahah that's not planned really, it would be a little too much You'll be able to do enough evil deeds already!

@boogis said in Aminal Tamer as a Class:

I have read your Q&A about mounts and im very disapointed. Im not the one who give mentored advices to DEVs but i try to use common sense. What you guys have said about mounts is complitly copy of Albion Online,.
You said that mount is disapearing after you get off it. Its very unrealistic, it would be much better if mount would not be able to put in inventory like a some sort of item. Mount is mount. It will be better if it will never dissapear and it will always had to stay in a world and if you got off mount it will be always standind where you left it untill some one killed it. yes!! killed it. mount like a players. good player? good mount. bad player bad mount. you killed it? then deal with karma issues.

Hi boogis! The first iteration of mounts is going to work in that "simplified" way simply because it's quick to make (budget matters!) and because we won't have animal taming yet. It's not intended to stay like that forever.

As you can see, animal taming is one of our stretch goals. Being a stretch goal means it's not a core feature of the game, but one we'd love to see nonetheless. If unlocked, we're going to work on it later on in the development cycle - perhaps in late alpha, perhaps in beta. Once that's completed, you'll be able to tame pets, issue them orders and of course attack other people's pets. That will include mounts!

@boogis said in Aminal Tamer as a Class:

Also fight on mounts its a lot of fun but if you put it right. maybe if you sit on mounts you cannot use your special abilities but only auto-attacks. so it can be simple kick from warrior simple shot from archer and simpliest spell from mage or even just a staff strike. why you complitly decline this possiablity? game should be more very.

It's very, very unlikely we're ever going to have mounted combat for several reasons - the two largest ones being it would require a lot of work (particularly on the animation side) and that it would be a balancing nightmare. All our combat is designed and balanced to be between walking characters, and trust me we have a ton of more important features to develop than mounted combat which is really out of the scope of the game

@logain said in pre alfa date ?:

Any update on this? It's a bit... bad to have news that the (pre-alpha) release is going to delay after the actual date (October is coming to an end very soon). People should always be informed way before a date if there is a delay.

Writing the post right now, coming today or tomorrow

@00 said in Weekly pills:

I know that developing a game in a small team is requiring pretty much all the time of the day. I was hoping anyway if we can have some little pills each week about something in the art, sounds, animations. Some little things that will hold up a bit of hype and connection between devs and us. Just a thread\two rows and a screen\sound\animation ecc

We've been toying with this idea ourselves for a while now, and I guess it's about time we make it a thing. I'm going to open a screenshots/"pills" section on Discord and/or a forum thread after I publish the new update today/tomorrow

Hi @Animus7Wanderer3, I found a pledge from a Kickstarter account registered with the same email as your Fractured account, but it says that your payment didn't go through ("there was an issue with the backer's credit card that could not be resolved"). If you check your email, I guess you'll find a notification from Kickstarter about the payment failing.

This means that the money was never collected. If you want, you can just pledge again from our store!

Hi guys, I've seen the discussion on Discord so let me give you a quick reply here.

First of all, some people were afraid that VIP would give an advantage in leveling up spells, but that's really not the case. The hard part of raising a spell to level 2 - 3 was always completing 4/6 - 6/6 tasks, because some could be located on different planets and/or be more complex than the others.

I'm using past tense here because the concept of leveling up spells to make them more powerful was indeed breaking horizontal progression in a way, and has therefore been removed in favor of acquiring alternate versions of the same spell, which can then be chosen during the resting phase as if they were different spells altogether An alternate version might be more effective (higher damage and so on), but if so, that's always offset by one of more parameters getting worse (typically higher mana cost and cooldown).

@warlunhardt said in Guild Crest Pledge Doubt:

The pledge in which we’ll design our own crest, how and when will it start I say this because of The Foundation Guild Creator that gives us their default selection of Crests.

Hi @Warlunhardt! I might have replied to you already on Twitter, but if not... This feature will likely become available in late Alpha (at best), after all the town and guild mechanics have been implemented. The guilds you can create on the website through The Foundation won't transfer into the game, it's just to make friends before we go live

@jetah said in Fractured Gamepedia: Let's Populate It!:

I dont like the idea of an "Official" wiki. that defeats the point of a wiki. but it is nice knowing a developer will be spending some time at a certain place.
@Prometheus we need some official assets. Either officially upload the images for us or allow us to download them from you.

It's run by the community, so it's not really different from any other wiki As for the assets, you mean screenshots or logos and the like? Do you know about our press kit?

https://fracturedmmo.com/press-kit

Hi everyone!

I'm glad to announce you that we have been contacted by the guys of Curse LLC, owners of Gamepedia, who have created this beautiful wiki for us:

---

https://fractured.gamepedia.com/Fractured_Wiki

---

We have agreed to make it the official wiki of Fractured - The Dynamic MMO!

As with all Gamepedia wikis, this one is also open for editing, so all of you can contribute to make it shine!

I know there's at least one unofficial Fractured wiki project in the making - and there might be more. What I'd like to ask of you wiki admins, is to merge your content into our official wiki. Let's pool our resources!

To everyone else... let's populate the wiki together! Our Feature Spotlights and this awesome thread are good starting points for that

The biggest and most reliable contributors will be elevated to admin status in the wiki, also as customary for Gamepedia project.

Once the wiki has enough content, we'll link it in the navbar of our website, next to the forum.

Thank you all!
Enjoy Fractured!
