@GamerSeuss Dozens in chat is not my experience, playing on EU time as I said, I've seen exactly 10 other players and seen the chat box empty for as much as 2 hours, this was 3 days after Alpha launch, so unless Europe embraces the game a heck of a lot more by release, it's going to be a short term game for me.

@GamerSeuss That cancels out the time zone being the reason for so few testers, So I have to agree with you it is very quiet.

@maze @GamerSeuss
Can I ask where you are both located ? not to specific just US or Europe will do.

I have to side with @GamerSeuss on the amount of people, I have played a couple of hours most days of this test, I have actually "seen" 10 other players in game, and 3 of those were Guild members in our Capital, I am in Europe.

@Stacy555 you know its not just for trees right ?

Sure but, flowers are all very different and easy to identify !!! and a rock is a rock (unless it's a small stone) ?

Can my Family apply for a refund if I die before release ??

Just a thought,

There are only 7 trees to remember, so at the moment it's not really hard is it ?.

Obviously if the number increases it would become more taxing as the differences would be less noticeable.

It would make the game far easier to navigate if everything had a mouse over description, but do we really want to dumb down this game as well.

@GamerSeuss said in What is the point of having your own plot of land?:

@Stacy555 As I said before, MMOs are about Multiplayer, not necessarily Group play. I can totally get behind there being some things that are meant for groups to overcome, like a Greater Wyrm, where several players or even several guilds have to band together in a massive raid to stop the juggernaut of a creature.

I am also okay with citizenship being required in order to have cheaper, easier access to certain crafting paraphernalia. Notice I said cheaper, easier access, not exclusive access. A citizen of a town could use a town's communal tannery to tan their leather for them and expect their taxes to cover that usage, where a non-citizen would have to pay a fee for the same use of that tannery. A solo player out in the wild with their own house could also eventually build a small tannery station of their own, but such a station might require materials not all readily available in the wild, in order to complete, or even just expensive chemicals to finish the leather bought or made using Alchemy. (I know leather tanning can be done with rather simple ingredients, but this is for the game), so the solo house out in the wild would need to either cart in special building supplies to finish building such a structure, or at least regularly go to town to buy the alchemical means to finish their product, or invest not only in a tannery, but also in an alchemy lab too. If you want to be self-sufficient, you need to have many more resources at your fingertips than someone who lives in a city and can just go to the market.

I think it is important to realize, however, that Fractured is in a state of Alpha testing...further, the Player Cities feature is only just now being introduced, so it makes sense that a lot of the emphasis on this phase of the test will be to encourage joining a player city over building a private residence. Certain features are also being tested out, and may or may not make the final cut. Sure, in the last test, there were individual crafting stations you could build on your private plot, but also in the last iteration, there were no player cities, and even the 2 starter cities didn't provide everything. The tanning tubs for instance were not usable by players in that test. People need to keep expressing their feedback, sure, that's what an Alpha test is good for, but they should also do so realizing that things changing from test to test are done not to punish one group of player-styles or another, but to test out specific features in a relative vacuum, a more controlled condition, before testing them out in a wider, more varied landscape.

I have no idea why my name is tagged in you post, unless you only read the first line ?

I'll wait and see, as I have already invested time and money, but there is no argument, high ping in PvP is a game killer.

Had the same issue a couple of days ago 3x3 would only take a 2x2, had to settle for that, this was in town ... if I did the same out of town it all worked fine.

I agree Solo players do have a place "Baldur's Gate".

This is an "MMO" ....the clue is actually in the title, the excuse " I paid my money but can't do everything" will never hold water.

So, having your own plot of land to be independent is one way of playing, but having a Citizenship, with or without a Guild membership and the need for social interaction, should also be an option.

Bank storage for me is not big enough, so the necessity of extra storage is a basic requirement, this alone would make me build a "Home" even if it is basically a warehouse.

@Wika said in Not enough slots:

Just My Opinion! all Trolls please move along.

I feel the Slots available are perfect for end game balance. Games like WoW and other MMO's that allow a "Billion" slots and "Bar Swapping" makes it hard to balance anything. Now keep in mind my opinion here.

Making Players limited to a small group of presets and having to build and choose based on encounter helps the balance.

This is a very annoying problem, especially when combined with a few trees and plants, I've started kiting mobs to a "clean area" to avoid this but it is far from being a good solution.
