End Year 2020 Open Playtest
-
Hi & happy holidays everyone!
You could spend this joyful time with your family and your loved ones. You could spend it eating and enjoying some (socially-distanced and responsible) partying…
…or you could spend it playing Fractured, because on Wednesday, December 30, game servers will be opened to all registered users for a new open playtest!
Here's our very belligerent PvP gift to you!
Enjoy Fractured!

Oooookay!
PvP will not be my best part, buuut the footage sounds very interesting.cross my fingers, that the Test will work well and as expected.
-
Nice, sounds like fun
-
Looking forward to this! The Criminal system and the PvP ruleset is one of Fractured's most interesting elements.
-
That's a nice Christmas gift
-
I can already see the spawn camping and negative comments with 'LAME I got slaughtered without even being able to try the game, this game sucks'.
Is there going to be at least some form of 'neutral zone' in the beginning towns @Prometheus? And can you ensure that there's a BIG RED WARNING saying this is explicitly a PvP test and not representative of the game?
-
When you say "testing pvp" you mean that you wanna see if the karma system works as intended, or you start looking into balance?
Anyway, awesome new! Happy new year everyone!
-
Oh, nice news)

Maybe you and I should team up and provide each other mutual defense while building something splendid
-
i am no good at pvp but will do my best
-
Amazing news! I wish everyone good luck in contests, and im looking forward to seeing all the footage that people make.
Once more, I wish happy holidays to everyone!
This is a great new years gift!@PeachMcD said in End Year 2020 Open Playtest:

All claimed towns are safe zones, including the 2 starter towns! Personal land parcels are safe as well for the owner, co-owner and friends. That's not only for this test, it's how things are meant to work.

The focus is on balancing, The Karma system is missing a key component - bounty hunting and jails

Your parcel is safe and so are cities. Just claim it in a city with friends who can protect you or in an isolated area in the wilderness

When talking about personal lands also working for future how do u mean? It will be possibile to buy land or to own them on principle first comer first owner?
-

There are several parcels of land that can be claimed by players spread across the world. You can claim them with a bit of gold (in-game). It is 'first come', but they might potentially require upkeep, so some could get freed up as well over time.
-
Another question. How long does this test will go on? And if I buy alpha access I’ll need to wait for another window testing or it will be free to play till beta coming?
-
@JaaneDoe This one starting on the 30th is only going a couple days, as an open stress-test, afterwhich it will close down until the Winter Alpha scheduled to start in February.
You don't need to pay to play in the Open stress test, but realize it is not your normal testing, but rather an augmented test to show what PvP can potentially build up to. Once you pay for Alpha access you need not pay for further access, you will be allowed into each upcoming Alpha and the following Beta tests as they proceed.
