Welcome.

Since you're looking for more information, I suggest you read my thread: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/266/a-compilation-of-everything-we-know-about-fractured?page=1

Tagging @Sunti and @Prometheus.

I am referring to this art for those wondering what I am talking about: https://suosunty.wixsite.com/michelemontini. We know for a fact some of that art is concept art, but what about the rest? It looks great.

I just want freedom. Freedom in the direction I take, freedom in how I build my class, freedom in how I tackle a quest. The less it is on rails, the better. That doesn't mean I don't play games that are on rails like WoW, but in the end I like sandboxes the most. The only reason why I don't play many sandboxes is because of the grindyness and forced PvP with hardcore elements like full loot. If Fractured manages to break that trend with for example the knowledge system and the beastmen planet, there's a decent chance I will enjoy this game. I need a lot more information to be sure, though.

@teeboned said in Feature Spotlight #2 - Universe, Planets and Travels:

This post is full of awesome clarifications. Trying to get a few friends on board with this but they are being hard to sway with what there is available at the moment.

Yeah, it's hard to get people on board right now. We'll just have to wait for more information to be revealed. Once the devs start talking about stuff like the knowledge system, I think we're going to see a lot more activity.. Hopefully.

@Prometheus, thanks for the answers. Good to know survival isn't going to eat up all our gametime.

The latest spotlight was about travel between planets. https://fracturedmmo.com/feature-spotlight-2-universe-planets-travels/

Trailer? What trailer? As far as I'm aware there's no trailer for Fractured yet.

Welcome to Fractured. Check my thread if you need more information: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/266/a-compilation-of-everything-we-know-about-fractured?page=1

I doubt that we'll have to feed ourselves as much as in real life. That would be crazy with the ingame days lasting 2 hours. An auto eating/drinking system sounds pretty boring to me, because then you'll just run around with a big stack of consumables that you stock up on once in a while.

As I've mentioned in an other thread, my main concern is too much micromanagement. Survival elements like hunger & thirst, climate etc can be fun as long as they don't take up too much gametime. If I have to spend 1 hour preparing for 30 minutes of gameplay, that's going to get boring quickly. In order for a survival system to work, it needs depth. It needs to be more than filling hunger and thirst bars. For example, certain healthy foods could provide certain benefits while eating certain unhealthy foods could result in drawbacks. A robust cooking system is a necessity to make survival fun.

@prometheus said in Spotlight overview:

I love the enthusiasm, thank you @Mikey14117!

@mikey14117 said in Spotlight overview:

My question is, will the gods be more involved? Will they affect beastmen and humans such as the demons god does ?

They will play quite an important role in the game. You'll be able to devote yourself to a god for various blessings, and there will be whole Divine schools of magic. We're release a full spotlight dedicated to gods in the future :slight_smile:

I hope we can pledge ourselves to any god, not just the ones tied to our race. I was already a bit disappointed with the news that only humans can use technology, so I hope we can atleast defy the will of our race through religion. You've said in the past that it's possible to be exiled from one's own planet, let devotion to the wrong god be one of the reasons why. It's a sandbox game after all.

@prometheus said in Contest: Involve people?:

@Hellmaster91 that's a very nice idea! It's not the only type of contest we could run, by the way. Character backgrounds (or more in general, writing) could be another fertile ground. We'll think about it!

We're going to need more lore before we can write backgrounds for our characters.

UPDATE!

Small update because I haven't done one in 2 weeks.

1. DEVELOPMENT

• Some info about Kickstarter rewards.

3. RACES, PLANETS AND INTERPLANETARY TRAVEL:

• Only humans can benefit from human technology.

6. COMBAT AND KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM:

• You'll be able to dedicate yourself to a god for blessings, and there will be divine schools of magic.

11. MONETIZATION

• No expansions, DLCs and other forms of content restriction.

I was happy to see that Arborius isn't affected by the eclipses, because that would have sucked for the most peaceful PvE-like planet.

On the topic of survival, the only thing I am worried about is that it's too much micro-management. I want to play Fractured, not real-life simulator.

All we know is that it might be a Kickstarter reward. https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/319/expansions-and-future-content/24

I suggest you just wait for the Kickstarter and support them that way.

YAY! Update!

I have a few questions though:

Day/night cycles behave realistically on each world, with half of the surface of a planet being in day time and the other in night time, sunrise and sunset moving smoothly along the surface. Seasons act in a similar way, being opposite in the two hemispheres, but less noticeable at the equator, where temperatures are more or less constant.

Oh boy, the whole planet can be explored? Does that mean It's possible to run completely around a planet?

Food and drinks. You start your journey to the largest town of the realm. Just like fighting, travelling accelerates the need to feed yourself. While some regions are rich with edible resources and you can hope to find food on the way, this one is quite bare and requires adventures to plan their trip wisely. You open your bag, and realize there’s only a slice of hardtack in it – and this is not LOTR. Damn!

Does a big bear-kin require more food than a scrawny Nightmare demon or is it all the same?

Rest. You won’t get fooled this time. You have plenty food, water and all the clothing you need. A little too much, in fact. You’re heavy, and you’re tiring quickly. When your legs refuse to move any longer, you set up a makeshift bed, feast aplenty and close your eyes for a shirt sleep – but your lame camp offers little protection, so a pack of wolves ends up feasting on you. Too bad!

I hope resting doesn't take too much time. I don't want to be forced to go AFK for an hour because my character needs sleep.

@rofus said in Is Fractured going to be Free?:

IIRC Fractured should enter Kickstarter

I don't believe they've mentioned any timeline for the KS. IIRC, @Prometheus explicitly said recently that there was no timeline for it.

Actually, Prometheus did say autumn: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/82/could-not-find/3

Idk if that's going to happen though. Summer is almost over and we haven't seen any new screenshots or footage yet.

We don't know yet. Probably way too early for that anyway.

@corruptedknight said in Expansions and future content:

I dont think there will be expansions since its a open world game?

Well I am sure they will release more content over time, otherwise the game would eventually die. Prometheus just means you won't have to pay for expansions.

It's buy-to-play with a cosmetic cash shop. No mandatory subscriptions or anything like that from what we know.

@jaquen said in Greetings from Spain.:

I hope that we will see in a gameplay in a near future to see how it works.

I'd love to see some of that during a kickstarter campaign as well!

Well, Prometheus did say he wanted to show an actual working MMO before the Kickstarter: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/31/who-are-you-devs/3
