@spoletta Do I see them colored in red? Or are their names in red letters or where comes the "red" from?

I have some pvp questions:

When I get killed with my cart: Can the killer steel or empty it?

What means "red" player?

Can I be killed frequently or is there a cooldown for the same killer?

Can I be killed everywhere or are there other safe places like my own plot? Maybe stargates or towns?

@InDeed Love it!
It is not ready, but love it!

@Prometheus is it normal that we see no warning that servers are shut down? I have been in the middle of a fight in the graveyard an from one second to the other i got disconnected. Only when i tried to reconnect i could read that we have a planned downtime because of patching. Honestly?

@MichaelZhang at present for me it is not only playing solo - it is playing lonely! After two weeks of playing a met a total of three other players. One sleeping at the chimney, one passing by and one running away. Moreon i found no way to interact with them. No mouseover menu, no right click menu, no click options on their names. I have no clue how it is possible to invite them to anything. Same in chat: No clue how to whisper or invite. Poor. And my motivstion is pretty low to invest time in the future, because i know that all my efforts to build a lovely house are gone when I go for vacation. Yes, i can pay in advance, but then i have to play for the rent of my base. lol. is this my job or a game?? There is so much to do to attract casual players for more than a month or even less. But that is why i think we will ever be early access, because a little group of hardcore fans will be here constantly to keep at leat that status.

@Gorkiey I'm not sure, but imho there should be more. I love the game and will maybe keep on playing, but i promiss we will never leave early access. Even with todays patch.

@Yalah I completely agree to your conclusions! With rank 17 i can bring down a Wolf with 4 cast/hits. All fights take long. very long and boring. Still not met any monster that gives me a selfheal. Gameplay is like playing a tank and not druid. I wish i had chosen another background. But now i'm too tired to start again. In the meantime i reset base values and abilities to be more melee and mace. But with the staff it is a joke. And as you wrote i had the idea to knife with bleeds and poisons, but i only created the talent set and did not realy play it.
For sure, your advice is correct: do not druid your first char, maybe do it as a challenge when you have other chars ranked 50 and you have fun with more suffer than the game brings by design

So much old and outdated contend here.
Even the patch frequence gets lower and lower since oct/nov 2023.
As i could read there is quite a bunch of developers. But for that i think there should be more indicators, that the game is alive.
Same for the forum.
I'm not sure if it is worth to invest time into fractured online? Is it?
We are in early acess. When will we leave that?
Looking into the news i find that some testing will start in dec 2023(!). Serious??
What is going on at present? Plans? Release?

@Baumhauer Ist das mit den Büchern noch aktuell? Ich finde im Spiel nichts über Bücher. es hat eher den Anschein, als wäre es so wie in anderen Spielen: Crafte das item exponentiell oft, um an die höchste Stufe zu kommen. ( Z. b. fellrüstung oder mein einfacher Stab).

Und wie wählt man den Platz am besten aus? Derzeit überlege ich auf lederrüstung zu gehen und die fellbekleidung abzulegen. Aber ich mag das Gold nicht umsonst in einen Platz investieren, der sich als totaler Müllplatz erweist und ich dann wieder in einen neuen teuren Platz investieren muss. Außerdem kann man nicht von überall auf die Bank zugreifen, was einen Umzug ungemütlich macht. Was tun?
