@grofire said in Future Spotlights Content - Vote Your Favorite Topics!:
i do not understand, the alfa 1 map probably going to be changed after the pre alfa test, so how its number 1 ????? it should be little closer to the alfa 1 test... near December.
It's not. For Alpha 1, we're building one of the continents of Syndesia - the smallest one. Later on, we're going to release the others 
Hi everyone!
We've been a little silent these last couple weeks, I know. First we had the office vacations, then the big effort of planning all the work for Alpha 1 - with a week of Gamescom in between... From full relax to full steam!
Now the time has come to prepare the list of upcoming Feature Spotlights as well. This time, however, we'd like to let you vote on what should be prioritized among a set of topics that fit with our production schedule!
You can express up to 3 preferences in this survey
A few more details on the different options:
Cast your vote(s) and leave a post if there are other topics you're particularly interested in, or would like something specific to be covered in the proposed list.
Enjoy Fractured!
@gothix said in Limited/rare items?:
Thing is if people get legendary items, they will start asking devs for the ways to protect them so they can't be stolen / looted from them.
You can bet whatever you want on that."ahh gank squads are stealing my legendary items"
"this OP guild stole all legendary items in game and now they are too powerful, nerf them"
etc (insert million more complaints of similar type)
Indeed, "legendary" pieces of equipment don't work well in a game where items lose durability and eventually break, plus drop on death. Even if you're playing on Arboreus where being looted is impossible/extremely unlikely, you'd eventually lose your "legendary" item. Also, having such items would break our design pillar of different equipment being better/worse in different scenarios - not better/worse overall.
On the opposite, when it comes to cosmetics, trophies, etc, everything is possible, and we'll definitely have very rare / unique items. Asteroids, as someone mentioned, will be a very likely source of them. GM-hosted events will be as well.
@jetah said in Limited/rare items?:
I believe @Prometheus said it was a UI system so there are no physical items for cash shop items.
Correct
@kairosval said in Demon Redemption:
From my understanding, the only way to be a 'good' demon is to be an Angel. AFAIK demons can only be evil or neutral, we're locked out of choosing Good even if our Karma was high enough.
As for Angels, again I think I can remember @Prometheus saying in one of the chat Q&A streams that the quest to become an Angel is linked to Tyros, so Angels will probably be locked in to worshiping Tyros.
So I'd expect Angels on Tartaros to have the usual impact where they are immune to Babils' curse, but every Demon in the area gets notified that a goodie-two-shoes Angel has touched foot on Tartaros.
But I can't back anything here up with a reference, it's going from memory with a little bit of speculation. So grain of salt this stuff.
All correct! 
Aside from being forced to worship Tyros all the time. We're still deciding on that.
@rockarmy said in Demon Redemption:
@Cinnao I thought angels could choose who to worship, so they can become angels through their preferred good alignment god.
Making multiple quest lines for turning into an Angel would be way too much work. The fact you have to go through Tyros quests doesn't mean you're forced to worship Tyros after tho, as I've explained above
@therippyone said in Demon Redemption:
so, that's some idea about what these transformations will be like - you'll still look vaguely like "you" but with the demonic stuff stripped out and replaced with heavenly set - bright auras, feather/halos, ancient rune masks of power, etc. XD
That's how it goes in a nutshell, yes
@gothix said in Demon Redemption:
Question now is what happens when beast kin player drops below 0 and still above -2500?
He is still not abomination, however since he is not above 0 he can not chose good, so he is stuck on neutral I guess.
As a Beastman, if you have a criminal flag (murderer, thief) or are cut off a Good alignment for whatever reason, you're cut off Arboreus. You don't want to get to that point unless your aim is to become an Abomination.
@Crache @Emmajane91 @Comferage @Jahlon @dj35 @Dinok @Mazikar as I've mentioned here, we want to launch the store together with some content updates It's coming soon tho!
@gothix said in Can’t wait for the fractured store:
And wishing for Paypal support, for us, noobs without credit cards.
Our store supports literally hundreds of payment methods - PayPal is obviously one of the top ones 
@jairone said in Can’t wait for the fractured store:
They haven't really gotten over the vacation lull, it seems. Oh well, we will see something more here soon, I am sure!
We have, we have! Just got too personally "distracted" by development 
But I'm back keeping you all up to date now!
@rofus said in Can’t wait for the fractured store:
I wonder if they are going to add more items to the store already like extra cosmetics or Dynamight Gold packages
It's just Kickstarter-like packs for now. Cosmetics, gold, etc, will come once the game goes live
Sorry for being so silent these last couple weeks - I've been doing a lot of dev jobs to speed things up towards Alpha 1 and haven't paid enough attention to you all!
Let's address your suggestions one by one!
@savvym said in what do you like to see next from the developers?:
I would like to see their store working
The store is ready, but we're waiting to release it until we have a new development journal to be published at the same time. We're really close now though!
@zidroc said in what do you like to see next from the developers?:
I want an official trailer
We're going to release one right before Alpha 1 begins. Some short video content before that too hopefully, @jozef
@target said in what do you like to see next from the developers?:
I really want to know more about the gear system, like what kind of stats can we expect on items and how your armor choice will influence your build. I keep seeing the sentiment that because gear progression is almost purely horizontal that "gear doesn't matter", and I'd like to be able to point to something concrete to prove that isn't true.
Gear definitely matters, but not in the "vertical" way (aside from survival/primitive gear - such as stone weapons and hide armors that are objectively weaker). It matters the "horizontal" way - it's situational, there's better and worse gear according to how you've designed your character and what are the enemies you're going to face.
I agree it's not so obvious to "believe" things will actually play out this way, so I'm surely going to write a spotlight on the types of armor and weapons we'll have in Alpha 1 and their pros / cons.
@therippyone said in what do you like to see next from the developers?:
I want to see a bit more about how stats actually translate into effects - how more strength translates into more damage, how badly under 10 stats nerf you, What It All Means, M~A~N~! XD
We've actually just defined the "final" balancing numbers little ago, implementing all of that in this Sprint. Could be a good topic for the spotlight as well, although it'd be a very "nerdy" one. In the meantime, check out this spotlight if you haven't already! @Jarek @TheRippyOne @suruq
@Ladyrowan @Jetah @Genobee we've roughly outlined in this update what's going to be the focus for Alpha 1. Making a really detailed roadmap for Alpha 1 - Test 1 would take a while and we believe it's better to focus on feature spotlights and/or content already developed at this point
@Cinnao religions are going to be implemented quite further down the line, so the spotlight will do as well, I'm afraid.
Hi @Fuam! Fractured is being developed for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
ChromeOS is not planned to be officially supported, so it all boils down to how well ChromeOS can run Linux apps in general. It might be able to run Fractured, but it's impossible to tell at this point.
I'll be having lunch at 12 at Sausalitos (letter O in the map, between pavilions 5 and 6, outdoors).

Contact me on Discord (link in my signature if you're not in the channel yet)
This time no big Gamescom updates, it's a tad too early - but we'll definitely have a proper booth next year!
I'm personally already at Gamescom for some business meetings and whatnot tho, so check out this thread if you're there too!
@Lohen both could work, let's see if we manage to gather a few more people for a lunch. PM me on Discord
@Jimbolini I think Germany is pretty safe
@Kralith thank you! we'll also be there with a proper stand next year for sure
Time to revive this thread!
@Lohen @Rofus @AlcribLP @Sharo and anyone else who's around, let me know and let's meet up!

@Gothix that's definitely a bug (regarding deleted accounts, not banned ones), I'll check whether it's been fixed in one of the most recent versions of our forum platform, or report it if not. That being said, blacklisting them is of little use, since most now get caught by the spam filters, and if any goes through it gets banned and IP-blacklisted right away.
@suruq said in Kickstarter Is Over! What's Next?:
does the few early bird pack will be available for upgrading account (i’m patron but i’m thinking to upgrade to knight with paypal) ?
If we get them in, they'll be available for upgrades too, yes
Hi everyone!
Our Kickstarter campaign is over, and it’s been a success. It started with a massive wave of pledges on day 1 and ended with an equally awesome push in the last 2 days. Eventually, we’ve hit the goal, and even got over 10% overfunded.
Even better than the pledges collected, there’s the fact you were always there to sustain us with your enthusiasm, passion and feedback. I know it’s a very predictable thing to say, but we would have gone nowhere without you.
Thank you once again, and let’s see what comes next!
Hi everyone,
GamesCom 2018 is approaching, and I'll be there as trade visitor from Tuesday 21 to Friday 24 (August)!
I guess a few of you will be there too. I'd be glad to meet up for a chat while I'm not busy talking with some publisher and so on. If the presence of Fractured fans is substantial, we could organize a Fractured dinner too perhaps.
So, just leave a post here if you'll be at GamesCom, and let's see how that goes!
Cheers,
Jacopo
A side note. I know, you might have wanted to try out Fractured at GamesCom, but it's a tad too early for that. We were also too focused on the Kickstarter campaign to set everything up to become exhibitors. We won't miss that next year!
@Gothix that'd be very annoying for legitimate users - I personally hate it when I find a forum with that sort of restriction
I've just installed some anti-spam measures, let's see how that works out first.
Hi @LilithDragonFlower, sorry for the slow reply, hectic days eheh. No, we're not going to ban people for trading items or resources without getting an equal or similar value in return, it's madness. It's something players could do for many legitimate reasons. I wasn't aware other companies did that - if they do, it's not related to the country they're from, it's just a policy they have.
Of course this doesn't mean we're not going to ban gold sellers and players who engage in RMT for game items. We will keep the attention on those practices very high.
@narasimha13 the C is a reference to chaos indeed - the chaos that originated after the Fracture (a key event of our lore). As for "chaos magic", no, not specifically to that
