@rocky Yes to both questions.

@Syllah The devs haven't said much about the dyes yet. They can be obtained ingame and through the cash shop.

@logain I don't know what the plans are for that but I assume there will be a way for the testers to communicate. I shall ask Prometheus.

@Gothix The launcher is pretty basic and unless they've changed it, it's a placeholder. Most of us are still logging in using the standard SpatialOS launcher but the rudimentary launcher will be offered as an alternative.

@pedrobillymattos

Well that is clarifying! If I understood corectly that means that the quality of the gear is of small variety and doesn´t really influence the competitive perfomance of PvP that much, and good competitive gear is easy to come by. Is that correct?

There are no tiers like in for example Albion Online, but every set has its own strengths and weaknesses. You also want to make sure you dress appropriately for the environment you're in. For example, taking your desert armor set to a cold biome would be a very bad idea. Weather, temperature, seasons, day/night, etc all matter in Fractured.

I wonder then what would the rare resources combined with crafting produce?(abilities maybe?) And what would make raids to collect resources you wont find in tartaros, worth it? To gain beter competitivness edge that is, I mean besides geting resourses for buildings etc

As Eurav explained, different resources grant different stats. Depending on your build, you might not be able to craft your prefered armor with resources found on Tartaros.

@Dulu Added.

@Cev Not yet. Only Humans are available in this test.

@lucigano If you win a weekly drawing, you might get selected for the pre-alpha. We're handpicking participants among the weekly drawing winners though, so you would have to be really involved at this point to have a chance.

and also, when is next alpha phase? & how will they had those keys out?

After the pre-alpha, we'll continue with alpha 1 and beyond. Access to those testing phases can be bought by backing Fractured.

@Zetskey This was never the intent. The developers weren't expecting these kind of server issues to happen. They've tried to fix the issues throughout Friday well into the night and then some more on Saturday. In the end however none of those fixes worked, so now they have no choice but to wait for the SpatialOS engineers to look into it on Monday. I don't know why the login message mentions the alpha 2 testers have access because right now the servers are down completely.

@Razvan This the drawing from January 22th to Jan 29th, not this week. We'll have a lot more winners for this week.

@Jetah There's no bot. I manually add people to the drawing.

I think it's broken. I shall inform Prometheus.

@Warcraftman68 I've notified Prometheus. No anwer yet though. Did you use alts to give yourself referrals by any chance?

@memokal It's covered by an NDA, we've said this many times...

@Tuoni Evil players who enter a good-only area on Arboreus will be instakilled if they don't leave it immediately.

Good Beastmen who enter Tartaros are going to suffer from heavy debuffs. It's a trade-off for Arboreus being relatively safe. I don't believe Beastmen get kicked out but those debuffs will make a long stay very difficult.

@PeachMcD This thread hasn't been updated since a previous test, so I don't know if keys are going out for the next test. I've been poking Prometheus about it.

@chrightt But then they would expose themselves as testers and this something we strongly discourage.

There will certainly be rules and I assume they'll be similar to those on the forum. With that said, it's not easy to moderate the chat during an open weekend. Sometimes the chat moves so fast that we would need to have moderators monitoring the chat 24/7 to catch it all. I try to monitor the chat as much as possible. If that doesn't work and the chat gets too toxic, we can disable the global chat channel as a last resort.
