I have to agree with Holya on most of these points. I literally log into the forums every day, see if anything new and interesting has popped up, and if not, open a hello thread and post a 2 worded response.

I don't know what the solution is though, at least most of the spam is in a regulated area, and not in news or other helpful topics.

Personally, I'd rather login daily and notice a bunch 2-words posts/threads confined to 1 single and (rather) well circumspect category / sub-forum, as opposed to logging on and seeing a whole bunch of nothing, or very few posts at all.

I'd also rather have those than a bunch of flames/trolls/antics. They, at least, represent a sign, an opportunity to engage and open, discuss. That's always one of the key elements you want to have to kick off a community. It's great that people have a sub-forum to just do that basic thing!

Maybe something that would help: having an easy link somewhere to pre-made filter excluding "Welcome..." forum, like: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/search?term=&in=titlesposts&categories[]=all&categories[]=watched&categories[]=1&categories[]=2&categories[]=4&categories[]=3&categories[]=8&categories[]=9&categories[]=10&categories[]=11&categories[]=12&categories[]=13&categories[]=14&categories[]=6&sortBy=relevance&sortDirection=&showAs=posts

I totally agree with you I think it should only rewarded by a minimum of X amount of words per post

You mean the quest should only complete if there's a minimum amount of words in the post? That would just encourage more spam. I see posts like "10chars" on other forums all the time to reach the minimum required words/characters.

Tiger-Kin or Human. I like cat-like races, but I also like engineer classes. Since humans are the technology race, I might have to go human for that (assuming engineer-like abilities excist). It will very much depend on the rulesets for PvP on Syndesia. If getting ganked on Syndesia is easy, I'll be going Tiger-Kin for sure.

@holyavengerone said in Expansions and future content:

I really hope that they limit to the utmost minimum the kind of "design experience", reserving that to top-tier rewards/packages only and/or in a limited way (name this, choose the color of that, etc.). I think they're time-consuming and costly for the developer when done too extensively/in detail.

Well, we don't know anything yet about the Kickstarter tiers and their rewards. It was just a suggestion.

@casgadom said in Expansions and future content:

@prometheus Is it planned to do some user based cosmetics? Like an art contest and the winner gets some freebies + the art gets implemented?

I personally have no artistic skill, but I'd love to see what the community will create once the mood on the game's atmosphere is set.

Maybe as a Kickstarter reward? A lot of Kickstarters have "design your own X" at higher tiers.

I agree with you @Holya that the necroing is starting to look bad, especially in the welcome section where people dig deeper and deeper to post a standard welcome post for their daily. With that said, I think the main reason why it's messy right now is because there simply isn't much to talk about. Hopefully when the game is further along in development we will also see better discussions.

@holyavengerone said in Expansions and future content:

@Prometheus On that topic, in the FAQ you guys mention that

1. WHAT BUSINESS MODEL WILL FRACTURED FOLLOW?

Fractured will follow a “buy to play” business model. This means that a single initial purchase will give you permanent access to the game, without any content restriction!

Given the above answer, my understanding is that there won't ever be a fee for additional game content beyond the initial purchase. No expansions, no DLCs, no item shop. Am I reading that right?

Judging by Prometheus's various comments on the forum, I don't think they've made a decision yet on monetization beyond the initial box price. :thinking:

Welcome.

Maybe you can form a pack with @Logain.

I could go on forever.

Of course, most of the games I've mentioned are just inspirations - don't start thinking Fractured has, say, survival elements as hardcore as H&H - that's not the case

In the end, we've felt that in the sandbox MMO world there was still a lot of room for innovation and I hope what we've revealed so far and the future spotlights will convey Fractured's potential in full! :slight_smile:

I'm definitely thrilled to read that I think having a rich and diverse gaming background is a good sign of having a broad vision on the topic, which can only help breed great ideas!

About the sandbox aspect, if you just make sure that 1) we've got plenty of sand in it and 2) provide a bunch of lil' shovels, rakes and other scoops, then we'll take care of shaping and molding you awesome sand castles and forms and whatnot

This! This is so important. Most sandbox games have sand, but don't give players spades and buckets to play with. You can't just throw players in an empty game and tell them to figure out a way to enjoy themselves. Doesn't look like Fractured is making this mistake though, judging by what has been revealed so far.

UPDATE!

I have finally discovered how to hotlink on this forum, and thanks to this I can finally overhaul the thread the way I had always envisioned it. I have added more catagories and slimmed down the list. In addition to that, I have updated the OP with a lot of answers given by Prometheus over the last week.

Thanks for the answer. And yeah, if databases get hacked that's a different beast, and your responsibility.

@cippalip said in Are you a PVP or PVE player?:

PvE, so I hope there will be ways of avoiding PvP if you don't want it.

I suggest you play on the Beastmen world then. PvP is still possible there but supposedly very hard to do.

I've been thinking some more about and it made me wonder, what would happen when this forum has thousands of people browsing it? Imagine thousands of people chatting in a chat that quickly deteriorates to the quality of Twitch chat. It would be an absolute nightmare for the devs and mods.

@casgadom said in Lore is IMPORTANT:

Would love to see some official lore additions from player experiences at a later time. Like places you'll get to travel to or quests in memory of certain players (and/or battles for example).

Like EVE, where players pretty much write the story?

We don't know yet.

The art style appears to be heavily stylized. It's commonly done to improve performance and make the game age better. I don't think we can judge their inspiration by that. Now that I think of it, this could very well be the answer: http://forums.linkrealms.com/topic/5480/the-past-future-of-linkrealms/5

@cookiesneedlove He refered to the foundation, the forum game that awards us with ingame goodies once the game is released.

Welcome.

I suggest you read my thread in the general section:
https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/266/a-compilation-of-everything-we-know-about-fractured?page=1

You can't stop spying. Even if players are limited to only one race per account, what's stopping them from buying a second copy of the game? Isn't that how spies in EVE do it to avoid the API key check?

@prometheus There's no such thing as saying too much.

@mikey14117 Well, nothing has been said about it other than that it's there.
