@finland Maybe we could have something like mana drain effect. That would be close to anti-magic, without nullify skillshot

Here is a new poll i have made with all the new information about VIP What do you think now ?

Please remember this thread is for sharing idea and making suggestion. Try to keep a respectfull and polite tone when debating. Thank you

With the new information we learned today in the new thread made by @Prometheus, maybe your opinion of the VIP membership have change

What we know : VIP SUBSCRIPTION

VIP membership provides the following advantages:

• Additional study slots
• Increased Knowledge Points gains (from unlimited sources only)
• Discounts on Store Items (which are cosmetic only)
• Unique cosmetic rewards for accumulated VIP time
• Other vanity rewards we might think of in the future

While cosmetic rewards have never been a contentious point, we’ve seen a few community members arguing that KP and slot bonuses are a form of “pay to win”. While getting a VIP membership could help you winning a hypothetical “let’s see who learns 100 abilities first” challenge with a friend of yours, it has no impact whatsoever on actual PvP competition, not between individuals nor between guilds.

Fractured characters are already competitive from day 1 – it’s part of what makes Fractured and its Knowledge System so unique. The core of progression afterwards consists of completing tasks requiring you to travel and perform a wide range of exploration– and experimentation-related activities. The VIP subscription has nothing to do with this, since it only impacts the passive “studying phase” that kicks in once the tasks have been completed and the ability inscribed on a book.

That being said, learning all the abilities in the game with a character is a meaningful objective only for a “completionist” – the kind of player who benefits the most from the KP and slots bonuses of the VIP subscription. If you want to play competitively, your aim is to learn the abilities that fit with the stat distribution of your character and have access to as many different resources as possible – the latter being crucial for competitive guilds too. The VIP subscription makes the former slightly faster and has no relation with the latter, therefore providing no real advantage in the competitive scene of Fractured.

TL;DR

• If you care about vanity items, the VIP subscription offers a great value thanks to its unique rewards and discounts;
• If you are a completionist, being VIP provides a nice boost, although it’s in no way necessary;
• If you’re neither of the two, you can ignore it, whether you play competitively or not.

The principal concern is probably the additional learning slot and the increased knowledge point gain. Depending on how it's done and how much of a boost it give it could either be a big advantage early game or just a slight time booster. I think that we should remember that in the end with enough time played a player without vip can still acquire the same lvl of power than a vip player.

If the Vip system remain the same, a suggestion a could make to make it less pay to win would be to enable player to buy directly form the shop (not a trade with a player) the vip status with in-game currency. That way someone who want to go the easy way could use real money to buy it and a player who want the status and play a lot the game could still be vip without using real money.

What do you think about that ?

I have to mention that the life-time membership for the vip will be a kickstarter backer exclusive.

Do you think prices are now a better fit for the value offered?

Seem now way better to me

Did the price adjustments change your mind on what pack to buy?

I Have changed my mind I was going for Knight, but now gonna try to get one of the immortal early bird pack

Thx for the vip update, i'm sure it will help clarify it for people who didn't liked it at first

All good Take your time dev and make it a great launch Maybe even taking time to answer some question the community have before launching the kickstarter would make it even better

@t3rck Demon are suppose to be great about monster hunting as well, it's just that their world will be open pvp (soo you have to be ready for that )

@crazykiller It's not suppose to be pay to win, but we still need some information from @Prometheus once he have the time Getting ready for a kickstarter is a lot of work
