@gothix said in Will Animation Cancelling become a combat mechanic one day?:
I'd prefer not to have it, and also to have forced global cool down on every spell.
In this way game becomes not only about who can mash his buttons faster in right order, but also puts more weight on general tactics and combat thinking.
Yes, I'm very much hoping this won't be about button mashing. 
(I like ergonomic builds!)
@kralith
So we get craftable sunglasses to compensate?
Actually, the idea of (some) Beastmen being inherently nocturnal, and having their culture arrayed around that, is pretty cool.
@boogis said in Runescape-like safe bank/storage.:
games are about pain and lose.
LOL: silly me, I thought games were about having fun! 
@jairone said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:
So my note is that BOTH of those problems need addressed, or the entire idea of a dark night and light sources becomes rendered nothing but something to abuse.
As to abusable light levels, I'd consider making it easy for the player to see the screen/world in darkness, but the not the player's character.
So, for instance, enemies simply wouldn't be rendered on screen unless the character could see them (based on skills/attributes/gear/etc.). That would mean adjusting contrast/brightness on one's screen would be irrelevant.
Sounds like normal gear won't be amazing/rare (no legendary items?), just tailored for specific uses, and some resources are heavy, so looting may not work quite the same way as in other games.
Here's hoping, however, that cosmetic purchased items can't be looted.
Hey, Beastmen should have night vision, too, at least the tiger and wolf kin.
Maybe humans will be able to gather carrots to help...

️Fractured mini-game:
I never played the Witcher games, but GWENT sounds like way beyond what I was thinking. I was actually thinking of Arcomage, which was a card game in M&M 7 and 8 (late 90's). It was so popular that they published it as a separate game. It's still available as "Archmage" on Android.
Like I said, I think it would be a great community contest to come up with mini-game ideas for taverns, then have the devs flesh them out. It wouldn't even have to be before release, although something like Arcomage could probably be coded pretty quickly.
I vaguely remember Arcomage! Those were fun games.
Yeah, feels odd to me too. I don't remember ever running into a good lich in my RPG travels.
And oh, I should have said Abominations instead of Beastmen... lol...
@boogis said in Lich Transformation unlocked!:
and my question is how game recognize lich? as a evil?
Apparently becoming or being a lich has nothing whatsoever to do with good or evil alignment in the game, kinda like fishing (I assume!). It's just not related.
Angels and Beastmen, on the other hand, -do- involve the good and evil in-game alignment system.
@azraelius said in Lich Transformation unlocked!:
@boogis we presume that undead are evil because most games and fantasies place them in that role...
The only good lich is a dead lich.
Oh wait...
@boogis
As I see it, mounted combat:
All the same, I agree it would be nice if done right, but I think the cost outweighs the gain.
Given my experiences with mounted combat in Wurm Online, I'm totally onboard -not- having it in Fractured.
Horses are always the first targets (because anyone on foot is basically dead, despite spears), so everyone brings extra, and the field is littered with horse corpses.
Gearing up all those horses for the grinder is a pain (barding/saddles/horseshoes), not to mention the effort required to breed them or get the skill required to tame and ride the best mounts (hell horses), which have themselves proved unbalancing (they allow far too rapid logistical response times, for one thing).
So, I think I'd just prefer foot combat.
like the current pre-alpha crunch, he's generally too busy with the development of Fractured.
This IS a news : "current pre-alpha crunch"
"Pre-alpha crunch", the breakfast of champions.
@dcccxix
The more I hear about Fractured, the more it feels like the -only- real progression will be in exploring, and in the political dynamics the players themselves will bring to the game.
For whatever reason, that dampens my enthusiasm a little. But we'll see how it plays out.
@boogis said in Crafting and Gathering - What's the plan?:
hey guys i hope you wont do anythink like Albion did - a very stupid system when you put 100 swords to craft and you have like a progress bar. i hope you will come up with something more smart.
I hope it's not like Wurm Online, either, where you have an incredible amount of mindless clicking to do to advance a crafting project (additionally poisoned by RNG failures).
I prefer meaningful crafting choices, and if I have to click, I want it to mean more than "do the same thing again".
@kralith said in [Poll] Tails... because you asked for it! :
Why the hell i did search for a tail song on youtube?
I guess i need more coffee
That's not the Zamboanga monkeys song, is it?
Staggering around drunk as the Witcher was pretty annoying, as I recall...
A prehensile ability on a Beastkin of some kind would be cool, although none of the existing ones seem to fit...
