@Mirgannel12 there should be a reply and a quote option at the bottom right of each person's posts.

Having name tags on equipment won't matter in most cases, as there will be dedicated crafters people buy their gear from. So, in theory, a lot of players will have gear equipped, with someone else's name on it, instead of their own. I myself plan to craft basic gear... but my main focus will be gathering reagents for my city to use. I will potentially be selling some of those reagents and buying gear with the coin i make (if i decide to sell, instead of just donate), or trade reagents and useful crafting components instead, for crafted pieces of equipment.

@Xzait that is a good point; will living space/habitations be different on the different worlds? and exactly how does a demon city work?

demon city? you mean giant rubble pile? XD

Welcome to the Fractured community!! there are tonnes of guild ls to choose from in the guild recruitment thread!! I run a guild myself, called The Moonshadow Dryads. Take a look if you want

welcome to the Fractured community!!

yeah. i was a hermit every test too till i became a governor. It was really fun. maybe they will make it possible on Arboreus?

@mythal I only managed tp fknd this, because i specifically searched for mmorpg's that are still in alpha. I wouldn't be suprised if it is the only way to find a gem like this, besides word of mouth. welcome to the hype train of the Fractured community!!

Arboreus is expected to be either the final alpha, or the beginning of beta last time i heard

@Vaiduoklis, to bouce off of what @OlivePit posted, unless you are determined to play a very specific build with min/maxing like I do as an archer, maxing out any particular stat isn't always smart. the game has a hard cap of 25 with stats. if you get to 27 constitution in-game, you will still have the benefit of only 25. The more the game progresses and developes, the easier it will be to gain extra stats with the 'end-game' equipment and/or enchantments. so as much as you CAN get 18 in a stat, it isn't always smart...

New players are expected to go with a more generalist build, or to stick with one of the presets and not mess with the stats at all. Both the Gladiator preset and the Mage preset don't have any stat below 10, meaning players will start with no nerfs at all, from having too few stats, if they do stick to them to begin with. starting with either 5 14's and 1 10 stat or 4 13's and 2 14's is about as generalist as you can get. If you really want to be able to play as literally anything, set all your stats to 13 and choose 2 to upgrade to 14 or 1 to upgrade to 15

glad you decided to support the project and improve the changes of this awesome game making it to full release!!
Welcome to the community!!

There was no +10 boost per lvl after reaching 20 cha last time i played. i had 22 or 23 cha in my luck build... I still only got 25 per cha. unless they have implemented it now, it still isn't appliccable.

(...)expect smelting to stay at around 4 hrs or so(...)

I'd guess that it depends on the feedback for this test though. They already adjusted the original design, so that can easily happen again. Or, in other words, it's too early to claim something is going to work this or that way in the final version of the game, even if it does now.

I don't see them speeding up a 4h smelt, when it takes 16h to cure leather XD

It's unfortunately true. All the information on the wiki is completely player knowledge. The developers don't contribute there at all (which is good, coz it'd take time from development). All the people that have access to update the wiki though are friendly members of the Fractured community, volunteering their time to compile everything they can for everyone's benefit!!
Most of the new information I would suspect, is added either during a test phase, when people can actively test stuff to learn new information. Or just after a test phase ends, when it is still fresh in their minds.

I don't think I've ever seen a single patch take more than 15 minutes. So don't worry! You won't only get to play for 10 minutes after work, coz you need to go to bed, the patch took so long, lol.

@OlivePit said in Int and Cha required stats? = Unbalanced?:

@Xzait
20 cha gives 450 luck, (-250+20*35) according to wiki.

You are calculating it wrong. having a base of 10 charisma, leaves you at 0 luck. If you drop to 6 charisma, you have -100 luck. Each charisma gives 25 luck. 10 Cha = 0 luck. 14 = 100 luck and 18 = 200 luck. 10 stats is the average, so other than things like hp and mana, you will have 0 in whatever that stat changes, when you have 10 points in the stat. Reducing Int, for example will drop you to negative magic resist and dropping your dex below 10 will give you a movement penalty.

@OlivePit here's a link to a character builder that has been created and updated with the communities help!
http://theshadowempire.net/public_CharacterPlanner.php

Some things might still not be there, but the vast majority of everything has been added. I think only stuff like the base slash resist, pierce resist and so on, on equipment hasn't been added and possibly some of the talent tree nodes.

Lol, hide in stealth and enemy gets attacked by a random pet, but can't see the tamer XD

I won't be calling in sick. I'll be waking up at 02:00 before work, to jump on for a few hours to set up some town blueprints, before I have to leave for work XD

Unless I end up being at a stayout shed... that will throw a massive spanner in my plans... but there is always a workaround ^c^

Welcome to the Fractured community!! It's cool to know that even hardcore military peeps enjoy being gamers, just like the dweebs and no-lifers that we all know and love (and probably are, ourselves XD)

@Ostaff well, at least i've got something going for me, no such thing as bad publicity and all that

I dunno... all the stuff I hear about with BLM protests, vegan protesters, Karens and SJW's tells me otherwise...

@OlivePit No, I didn't do much PvP at all. My build is a gatherer build, not a PvP one. If I am to get attacked by someone I am not expecting, I will likely die, due to the nature of where my stats will be focused for gathering, unless the player just happens to have the same build as the enemies I have prepared to fight. Also, it isn't only your 20 charisma that will have an effect on luck. Having 20 charisma will only get you to 250 luck. Luck caps at 1000. If you look back at one of my previous posts, you will see that I made a specific comment of having 1000 luck is very noticable compared to having 200 (you have 200 luck at 18 charisma).

Granted, most players won't stat extra luck at all... but for a crit focused, gathering type of player, or someone that relies on evasion and hit rates, luck is extremely useful. One thing to take note of though, is that there is at least 1 melee skill that is always guaranteed to hit with critical damage and leave a bleed debuff, which is a solid counter to high evasion builds

Possibly the absolute most nopticable place luck plays a role, is with rare drops like sulphur from goblin fire shamans. Because the base drop rate is so low to begin with, that extra drop rate can make you go from killing 10 for a single sulphur, to having to only kill 3.

lol. This reminds me of when i saw a post of someone having bought 'an apple gaming laptop' and literally everyone in the comments shredding them on how stupid they were...
