There are two channels in the official Discord channel for Fractured—#bug-reports and #player-feedback—that would be significantly more organized and easier to search through if they were made forum channels with categories/flairs/tags instead of text channels. As they are now, constant chatter (including irrelevant messages), lists, and paragraphs will push up every user's report/feedback out of sight where they won't be noticed, if they weren't noticed prior, without scrolling up to read each and every one. It does not feel good to see your input in these types of avenues get ignored then elevated out of sight. Forum channels would not only help to keep reports/feedback contained within their own groups (threads) for visibility but would also help others be able to add their own findings or thoughts into them with confidence that they would be seen—very much like how this and other web-based forums work; in addition, the categories/flairs/tags would give us the ability to filter them thus making searches easier and less time-consuming to do. Until those two channels transition into forum channels instead of remaining text channels, which are intended for casual conversations in the style of a text messenger, I will continue to submit my reports and feedback here and will advise others to do the same if they ask where to go to share their own. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-Forum-Channels-FAQ Examples:

@Junkie I thought so, thanks

The owner should get the ability to destroy wagons on his plot, in the same way that currently a governor can destroy any wagon in the city. For now though what you can do is ask a GM for help, by sending the coordinates of the plot, and a screenshot indicating which carts you want removed.

It is actually 3k if you skip literally everything. If you just kill the 10 wolves and the 5 bandits it asks you to, you are losing 2.5k.

@RavenCypher Just because Pull is iconic for traditional Tank builds, doesn't mean that every game has to follow that trope. FO doesn't use an Aggro mechanic, so traditional Tanky tricks aren't as prevalent. I actually like the gamble of seeing the squishier characters pull and then run, or pull for the Tank. Pull has always in my book, been more of a mobility character trait, not a Tank trait. Tanks take the Aggro, but the Ranged DPS guy is usually the Puller, as pulling and kiting go hand in hand, you get the mob to follow you and you use your mobility to stay ahead of them and kite.

I've always been a fan of Unique character names in MMOs. I hate logging into a game and finding 15 versions of Gandalf, Merlin, and Drizz't Du'Orden in the game. It always takes away from the immersion for me. I am also not a fan of account ID/Tags attached to names for the same reason, and non-sensical/profanity names are also a no go. Unique house names are a compromise I like, but even then, I wouldn't want 50 Merlin _______ out there with just a different last name. Part of the fun of a Role-Playing game is to come up with a cool fantasy name for your character, afterall.

Brown Bear is the Grizzly, and it doesn't stack, only Black Bears stack @Rowley

@Contucky said in Regarding 'Strike Wounds': I agree that the spell is slightly too strong (does it even cost 3000kp and 3 memory? It requires two slots of memory, so 2,000 KP to unlock. @Sawahya said in Regarding 'Strike Wounds': Yes, it's an op skill now, particularly with fast weapons. But it should have a 5 sec cooldown, as the description says. With that it's worse than bleeding strike. That's the cooldown that starts whenever you toggle it or get silenced, but what you said is actually a good idea for a possible adjustment. If it's supposed to be like Double Shot (proc, cooldown, proc) or made to be like the aforementioned ability, that would be one adequate way to balance it, but I suppose that wouldn't fix how accessible the ability is given what it does that makes it a staple for any build that deals physical damage and is compatible with Strike Wounds.

@dracokalen Im so lame at it now, but i feel long term is something that you can definitely get used to and master slowly

@CrispyChipotle I also do not agree with that, the way the game is now, that doesn't make sense; nor does it make sense to even add a crafting talent tree now. If the dev's didn't already plan for that, it shouldn't be added just cause a few players want it; I know that I don't want it and I have never heard anyone else complain of that before this OPer did. Anyone should be able to craft anything if they have access to the materials and crafting stations. Most of his other suggestions/ideas were also BS as well. Especially for the trading, it is too early for the devs to be doing anything about trading at this stage.

-Mobs should be highlighted for easier looting when dead, or some way to mass loot with hotkey. -Charcoal pile should have some indication it is working/duration left. -Charcoal pile should be removable or refillable. -Building blueprints should indicate what building it is when hovering over with mouse after it is placed. ex. [(Townhall) (Inn) (2x2 House)] -Pathing issues on major roads ex. (SW of starting city, giant 'something' blocking the road) -On forge/crafting benches would be nice for arrow to be a bit more noticeable to select other metals/materials. Either that or include it in the tutorial for clarification. -See who the owners are for wagons by mousing over it. Sharable carts/permissions. -Change durability on armor and wpns for melee classes, way too low for the time it takes to make. ex. (Currently can go through a set of copper/bronze/leather in one day of farming mobs) -Make hitboxes on trees a lot smaller. They interfere with combat a lot, annoyingly so. -Add PVE talents: crafting speed, wagon movement speed, mount speed, collecting speed (wood, plants), mining nodes/trees/plants highlighted on mini-map etc. -A death marker showing where you died.

@almund said in Feedback from open alpha (some first time thoughts): Hi! Nice to see, you shared your experiences. Let me answer some things or even add my experiences. Keys, not configurable or listed anywhere currently in client. About this the Devs are aware of it. There are many settings that are still missing. But i know they want to add several settings and changable keybindings. I am also curious, when we get them No tooltips for hovering over or guiding help for locating and learning crafting devices faster. There are some things that could use a little help/description text. Right at the top the Endurance/Life/Mana Bar, that would prevent the Every-10-lines-asking-for I think at some point i will make a full list and hand them out. Inventory Moving items between containers / looting was slow and clumsy. I thought first game has just DND but after playing around little more RMB did work for faster looting. I think they are also aware about this. Shift Clicking is something that should get added definetivly. But step by step... we got Right-Click Loot to Inventory and Stack Dividing already Inventory felt really limited It is having limited amount of slots, having really limited stacks and top of that even carry weight limit. I am agreeing, since we have a weight limit, i think the inventory space should be somehow dynamic, at least expandable with extra bags. But the space limit is not that unusual in such kind of game, even with weight limit. Prometheus already said something about that. Tutorial guides to craft items on machines that could have been crafted by hand. Later this made me do respawn in town because I thought it is only way to have axe and other basic tools. So I lost all my items and time because of that. It might not sound bad for players who have been around longer but as someone who is playing game first time it is wasn't just having fun losing all items and felt much time wasted to walk some area that tutorial is pointing. Hmm yeah, i understand this beginner problem, but i am more the kind of player who always inspect all UI-Elements, before i go out to start to really play a game. Also just the simple tools/weapons will be able to craft with hand later on, so the tutorial is not that wrong, just at the moment maybe confusing, since the only thing that you can just craft on Workbench was the Scholar Clothes. That will change much soon. So i would say, this was a classical Layer 8 Problem I got stuck on blueprint crafting because of placement mode. I solved it out but it could have been smoother. Agree, that using of Right Mouse/Left Mouse for Blueprint Placing/Moving would be something for a Tutorial. And with the Campfire we have from start a blueprint, where it could be explained with. But i also think a list of Keybindings in the Settings would help in future much to know, what to use for what. Compass This was thing that I am still thinking after playing I assume north is it top right but there could be proper arrow for main direction. Oh oh... then you maybe can imagine how it was first weeks at Myr. They turned the Map after short time to fit the direction you move. Before it was a 45 degree difference and you always moved in a different direction on your Screen (Up/down, right/left) than the direction on Map was. The weird feeling comes from the as design view, the world is not North/South directed, its an isometric game, that means the map on your screen is always 45° - means, if you want to run to North, you need to run in direction of your upper left corner on your Screen. More clear steps what building house actually needs. I didn't want to google or lookup information to do stuff for first time trying. Next day I did ask it on chat and got answer but if I have understood right it is so much ask question that it will get annoying spam to players. After I learn what it needs, how it was limited to set locations and I was on area that was too far from gold dropping mobs I just decided not to continue testing for much longer. Hmm i am agreeing, that Blueprints could have a summary on the Blueprint Book about all needed materials. Otherwise it would take the surprise effect... i am remembering on the first house we could build and we had so much fun about "Oh again stones for the wall supports"... "Ohh no 3 Wood for each Wall" ... "Will we need wood for the roof?...Ahh what a luck, we don't need to build the roof"

make terrain scale able. I can’t stand the fact that you’re on rails with invisible barriers. I should be able to climb over or slide down a hill. mob diversity and the need for more areas of end game enemies is huge to PvE players. If you build your house in the wrong spot, you’re way the heck out there and end game becomes poo-sandwich. Add a warning that land claims are account-wide!!! for lord’s sake add a hearthstone, recall, home-teleport. Whatever you want to call it. Throw a 4 hour Cool-down, whatever! Just need something. add an ability to ‘store’ housing items you’ve made so you can more easily redesign the housing plot. Right now it’s a circus add naming restrictions so players can’t be name “SirButtSmeller” or “New Character” in game. It is the dumbest crud and just ruins the game. I’d like to be able to ‘Alt’ text vegetation and trees to know what I’m looking at before it’s farmed.

@Jetah said in [Feedback]: Did content pills get killed by the virus?: @Ekadzati said in [Feedback]: Did content pills get killed by the virus?: @Jetah said in [Feedback]: Did content pills get killed by the virus?: @Ekadzati I'm just getting tired of having to remind DS that the KS people and updates exist. you'd think an important event like the free test would be a great time to do a KS update but they didn't. You don't have to remind them, that's a choice... and every time you make that choice after getting no response from the previous one is wasting your time. Don't waste your time. Ever. That's all I'm saying. then no one would play games. i attempt to remind them so Kickstarter doesn't get a bad reputation (but in the video game segment that may already be tarnished). If I had as much influence as you seem to expect you will, I'd be doing more than trying to convince gaming developers to communicate with me. (sly grin)

Third Session - May 27th - I spent about an hour on my melee character; here are my thoughts: TOO MUCH CLICKING REQUIRED. I like action combat, but holy crap... I've had carpal tunnel surgery on my dominant hand and I still got soreness from yesterday's session. I'm happy that archers do not distance when you close (as a tank)... but is that intentional? Swarm aggro seems a bit high at the goblin fortresses. As loathe as I am to say it, hide armor seems mildly OP given the results in my melee build test (see entry on contest forums), but I am glad of it when those swarms happen. Might want to consider some manner of lead-in for enchanting. I get all these reagents, but have no idea how to get started with it (I know, that's polish stuff... but I'd like to test it if anyone has a short overview? Forums only seem to return a spreadsheet.) I'm not sure how I feel about currency being loot/dropped on death. Will this be the same across all worlds or vary depending on the ruleset? I'm choosing NOT to proceed into housing/crafting as I want to focus on NPE for the races/classes as they arrive. For this reason, I will rarely move beyond the goblin fortress until we're far enough along that NPE is all but locked. Feel free to specify any testing/cases and I'll backlog and test. Thanks for listening.

Excellent report!
