Fractured Forum

Prometheus

Hi everybody!

Among the myriad of pieces that make up an MMO, we believe that soundtracks often don't receive the due attention. Here at Dynamight Studios, however, we're well aware of the central role it plays, and we're not going to save on that.

It is therefore with great pleasure that we are releasing the first piece of the Fractured OST. It is no less than the first version of the main theme, which you're soon going to hear again in our upcoming Kickstarter campaign!

Click here to listen

As always, let us know hear your feedback!

Enjoy Fractured!

@logain said in Is Fractured already GDPR compliant, and if not is it going to slow down development?:

GDPR

It was already compliant, so no impact at all. We've always given the highest value to data security and correct use of data - and we don't collect much in general, too

Prometheus

@muker oh, you edited the original post, I didn't notice. Thank you! 1000 points added!

A couple questions:

Is the "Постухи" actually a shepherd - the generic word?
Does "боевые действиями" mean "action combat" (the type of combat of ARPG games, like Diablo or Path of Exile)? Because I'm afraid it means "combat actions", which has a very different meaning

@Lohen @Kralith what's the big deal with "join the revolution"? Does it sound strange because it sounds real-life political?

Prometheus

@muker said in Community Call - Translation Help Needed!:

@prometheus no problem, it's just"localization"
This is done

Hmm I assume you didn't really get what I've meant... I asked if you could fix the translation making it a little more literal without the added parts! Thank you!

Prometheus

@nelchael said in Community Call - Translation Help Needed!:

Just checking, were the translations okay? I forgot to mention earlier, but we assumed "shepers" is supposed to be shepherds. Let me know if we got that part wrong.

You got that right! Thanks to you and to your friend. Rewards added!

@Gothix thanks and rewards for you too, we could make use of that!

@muker I've noticed you've added some words / sentences in the translation that were not there originally. They're not bad, but they've made the texts too long. Could you make the translation more literal please?

@Baslak no worries, but please stay calm next time and don't go full nationalist - that's never a good thing.

Prometheus

@baslak said in Community Call - Translation Help Needed!:

@prometheus Seriously??
I am Spanish by birth

do the translation with google translate the same goes.

It bothers me that you trust in the translation from a French to a Spanish.
I leave it there
¡VIVA ESPAÑA!

Let alone there is nothing inherently bad in a translation done by a non-native, if skilled enough... @zopek translated the texts to French, not to Spanish. What the heck did you see? Drop the glass!

Prometheus

@Rehmius @zopek great, all clear, thanks again. 1,000 Foundation Points to both of you too!

@Baslak I can read French and Spanish (the latter I can speak too actually, just not well enough to trust myself for something public). They didn't use google translate. Their translations were good.

Prometheus

@zopek thank you! A few questions though:

Is communauté actually used instead of community?
"des combats d'action" - the plural sounds a bit strange, is that how you'd say it? I would have guessed "combat d'action" or keeping the English "action combat".
"Un MMO dynamique" - Hmmm... You don't use taglines line "Le MMO Dynamique" in French?
CLÉ for KEY - same question as for "community"
"manière de jouer" foe gameplay, same question...
AD2 texts need to be short, yes

@Rehmius thanks a lot and same questions I asked zoper: comunidad, desarrolladores, hermandad, mundo abierto, jugabilidad, are those "gaming"/IT words?
Also, doesn't "colonización universal" have a different nuance than "colonización del universo"?

Prometheus

Amazing! 1,000 points for Gryf... Er.. @Kralith!

@AinzOoalGown and indeed there was a whitespace in the beginning of your username - don't know how I missed it. Should be fine now, apologies!

@gothix said in Whats your favorite character Class to play on your first Character:

It was said do not try to shoot rock monster with your arrows (immunities, weaknesses), but if archer can not use his arrows, what is he supposed to do? Use magic? Cool, but archer buffed up his DEX on player creation not his INT, so if there are no magical arrows based on DEX archer will be disadvantaged.

@vengu said in Whats your favorite character Class to play on your first Character:

This is actually one of my biggest concerns. If I am a DEX/PER archer, and I face a rock monster that's practically immune to arrows, what am I going to do? I don't have the strength to start pummeling it with hammers and I don't have the int to start shooting it with whatever spell works well against a rock monster. Am I just screwed?

You're not an archer. You're a high-DEX/PER character who has decided to play as an archer. Hold a DEX-based melee weapon, take a resting phase, pick the proper set of abilities (assuming you know them, of course) and talents, and you're ready for the dungeon

Otherwise, if you really want to play ranged and kill that stone mob, yeah, ways to enchant your arrows exist - several, in fact. Unless you've made a character with 6-8 INT, you should be able to use them decently.

Now, if the creatures you're fighting are completely immune from physical damage (some exist, and vice-versa as well) and you've made a character with 6 INT then the situation is more complex. Having a friend would be the best thing, but there are workarounds. Get +2 INT from talents. Use abilities that summon magical weapons (even low INT is enough for those). Use weapons crafted with materials that make them deal some magical damage. In a way or the other you can make it!

@gothix said in Summary of the first Q&A.:

I really don't like how guild locking system works, heavily restricting who can join your guild. Demons seem specially disadvantaged in this aspect.
"Demons cannot conquer and/or control cities on Syndesia." -- Also demons seem disadvantaged here.
From what I see so far, if one wants to play evil, it's a lot better got go human, drop your karma and be evil, then play as demon. You get a lot more freedom like that.

Yes, you do have more freedom playing as an Evil Human since you can settle both on Syndesia and Tartaros, but you're missing out on a lot of stuff, namely:

The unique traits of the three Demon families, explained here and here. For instance, if you're playing a Shadow Demon, you enjoy unique bonuses at nighttime, cap increases on Strength, Dexterity and Perception, and Affinity to Perception. That's a lot of useful stuff for Thief/Assassin/Scout builds which an Evil Human doesn't get, although it might use tech to make up for it in a way.
The racial bonuses Demons enjoy while on Tartaros.
The racial bonuses Demons enjoy while on Syndesia during an Eclipse.

@vengu said in Summary of the first Q&A.:

Arboreus and Tartaros are very specific outliers for players who really don't like PvP and for players who want a really unforgiving PvP environment. Syndesia appears to be the broadest and most fleshed out planet, with intricate guild politics, the full spectrum of alignments, etc.

Who said Tartaros doesn't have city building & conquest & the "intricate guild politics"? It does!

@Jetah @Benseine Fractured is a sandbox but one with a strong lore and racial characterization, which comes with several unique design choices. That being said, as I've also mentioned in the streaming, perhaps these restrictions will change or will go away as a whole. Alpha will tell!

Indeed, old account with whitespaces. Fixed. Apologies for the issue @AinzOoalGown! You can create your Hero now :slight_smile:

@oobenonioo said in First Fractured Gameplay Video Released!:

So the procedural map generation in the gameplay video looked pretty clean, but I would like to ask if every sector/section/biome of the map will be seperated by a river with a bridge to every other biome or will it at some point be more blended in where, for example: you're in a mountain biome and while roaming in one direction you start seeing less rocks and more grass, pretty soon you're in a grassland biome or something instead of seeing a somewhat unnatural river and knowning theres a new biome behind it.

What you are suggesting is actually how usually things work - biomes blend gradually without any "hard" boundary. You can see that in the video when we move from the Mountain Forest to the Goblin Territory!

@jetah said in First Fractured Gameplay Video Released!:

@oobenonioo i'm assuming for the pre-alpha it's just a quick generation. what i'm wondering is if the procedural generation will only be used once or if the planets will change over time.

Aside from major events, maps won't change over time. The passing of time and seasons can be seen in vegetation, animals, decaying of buildings, and so on. That being said, the Asteroids system will be a constant source of new maps and procedural generation will be very useful there
