At the risk of starting a merdestorm, I'd like to hope that our developers know which side their bread is buttered on, and will consider adding one more goal to their list: gender-neutral language (in English at least, since that's what I'm reading/speaking here).

It's not 'just' about being what some would call 'politically-correct' and others would call 'considerate'. It's about reflecting the community that's forming here accurately.

Women and non-binary players are an ever-increasing percentage of the gamer world. We often need to be kinda thick-skinned to succeed in an arena historically dominated by testosterone, but honestly it would be ever so much more attractive to make that less necessary. Is there, for example, any real reason to have BeastMEN rather than Beastlings? Or was that name a translation from a language that requires gendered endings, that could be adjusted?

I know this is gonna trigger some d00ds out there, but I'm actually trying to make the devs MORE MONEY, so if the triggered ones can just relax and look at it from a marketing standpoint, they might end up agreeing this is the best way forward for a great game. The link below does not take non-binary players into account, but believe me I know MANY.

Hope this can generate some constructive suggestions/responses.

How about this...we leave social justice and real world politics out of the game completely.

@Hawkenser LOL what how are you going to say that the people who donated a lot and got the big pledge packs wont have a advantage, 1s off u start with life time VIP u also get 30k ingame currency u would played all the Alphas and Betas so on release u are super ahead of the normal players soo u will have a bigger impact on the game then a normal player that gets the game on release. and not to mention Governor of a city right at the start of the game lol.

Your wrong and your guessing and your spinning the worst scenario and applying it to everyone who backed the game.

And your post made my point that this subject should have been left alone.

@Gothix Everyone knows a alchemist must taste test to get it right and make new discoveries A good constitution would be wise for that.

I would kinda prefer to not see gear dropped at all. Only resources, and then gear would have to be player crafted.

But I guess in loot drop system, some RNG is ok.

RNG I was talking about was mostly about combat and crafting. I just prefer those be skill dependent without lottery factor.

The economy in Fractured is entirely player driven with equipment and items crafted by players.

Welcome Greece.

i dont see nothing wrong with this post idk why people are giving shit about it tbh it was a good question to see who the people that believe in the game are. and the ones who will impact the game at release

Not true. People that cannot give believe in the game.
The backers (myself included) have bought alpha/beta access that will be wiped. No added impact at launch.
This whole question, while perhaps innocent, is a hot topic and should not have been approached IMHO

I have not been this hyped for a MMORPG since UO.
(Ultima Online for all you controller slinging, hyper hand-eye coordinated, kick my ass youngsters.)
I took the cash leap because I believe in this team and the direction/mechanics they are taking.
(about time someone did.)
Look forward to gaming with all of you
See you in alpha 2!
(did that rhyme?)
