@sparky We're still inviting the top 100, just in waves instead of all at once. (Except for those who we believe will cause more trouble than good, those people won't get invites at all.)

@tulukaruk As a clarification, especially the part about the invites going out in waves instead of all at once.

@shuikiwi Fractured will cost €30 at release. The price of the cheapest crowdfunding pack is €20 and will grant you a copy of the game, so buying a pledge pack now will save you some money.

Pre-Alpha Launch

For all of you who don’t know about it yet, the Fractured Pre-Alpha is a time-limited testing phase to be run before the start of Alpha 1.

Access to the Pre-Alpha will be granted to the players with the best ranking in The Foundation, specifically those who sit in the TOP 100 Leaderboard, plus a few others selected among those who have won one or more weekly drawings. Access to the Pre-Alpha is limited to that testing phase, unlike access to Alpha 1 and beyond, which is permanent and can be purchased on our store.

The are a couple significant news about the Pre-Alpha which you should really know about, so here we go!

First of all, the Pre-Alpha was set to start 1-2 months before Alpha 1, as explained in our Playtesting FAQ. Since Alpha 1 is planned for December this year, the Pre-Alpha should have been October/November. However, in our development roadmap we’ve been a little too optimistic and announced specifically October as the launch month, while right now it’s pretty clear we won’t make it. Apologies for the confusion and the false hopes. We can confirm now that November is the month!

Secondly, while we’re planning to let over 100 players in the Pre-Alpha, invites won’t be sent out all at once but gradually over the course of a couple weeks or longer. The selection order won’t be based on ranking but on our own discretion.

To conclude, I know some of you are now asking yourselves “will this delay on the Pre-Alpha have an impact on the launch date of Alpha 1?”. The answer is: we’re not sure yet. As of today, Alpha 1 is still planned for December, but a 1-month delay or so on that too is not to be ruled out. Only the Pre-Alpha will tell!

@logain Their overal behaviour, not just moderation wise.

@meninodeouro Referral spam is frowned upon on Reddit. @suruq and @wolfkomodo46, you both have to come up with something better to be considered worthy for the drawing.

@logain

Are you allowed to provide rough details on what you're looking for?

We're generally looking for people who are active in the community and with a good reputation.

And what would be the means of notification, email, or a message on the forum?

Email.

@sillenffs In the meanwhile you can find some footage on the Youtube channel and the recent Content Pill.

@sillenffs Players are allowed to share footage from alpha 1 and forward, so probably December or January.

@sillenffs No, it's covered by an NDA.

@ggchester Players can earn a key by reaching the top 100 of the Foundation. They also have a chance to win one if they've won at least one drawing. With that said, whether someone actually gets a key is up to our discretion, especially for the first waves of invites. If we believe someone is more trouble than good, they won't get a key.

@kingiijulian There are no plans to sell DLC after release. All future updates will be free.

@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.

@tulukaruk I have no idea, I haven't seen the NDA yet.

@Benseine The exact Foundation rank doesn't really matter. We're picking specific people who we believe will be valuable pre-alpha testers. So just because someone is at the top of the Foundation, doesn't mean they are also going to be the first to be invited.

@Mazikar @TheRippyOne Prometheus said November, not the first week of November. While I don't have an exact date, it's a bit early to be spamming F5.

@gofrit The pre-alpha will be under an NDA. You will not be allowed to talk about or share anything from the pre-alpha. Participants who break the NDA will be removed from the pre-alpha.

@jonzeramb Winners will be notified by email.

@needlehawk I don't know what the exact percentage is, but Prometheus did say the amount of content in good-only areas matters more than the percentage.

@wolfkomodo46 Beastmen cannot change their alignment on Arboreus so there will be no such thing as betrayals.

@brocki Fractured will obviously have lore, but no ingame quests (other than divine quests) to go with it.

@azraelius Fractured won't have quest-based main storyline.

@therippyone Not just serious restrictions, sieges are outright impossible on Arboreus. Towns and houses are totally safe there.

@boogis Whoa, calm down there.
