I would like to extend holiday greetings to entire Fractured community, and especially to our dev team that works hard to bring this beautiful world to life!
I hope you guys can also get some well deserved rest during these holidays! 
Also special mentions to Specter who is involved here since the start, keeping these forums a happy place! 
Merry Christmas everyone!

In general, light armor should mean less protection + more utility.
Heavy armor should mean more protection + less utility.
We shall see how will that get balanced here.
Problem is people feeling forced to leave characters online and AFK with such activity. Otherwise they will feel like missing out.
It creates psychological pressure and unhappiness with the game.
Also rises your electric bills. 
Not being able to change at camp fires could very well make Inns that more important.
If we will be able to switch skillsets at the inns then people could be incentivized to make inns around the world, and take some fee from visitors, which in turn can make game world a lot more dynamic and populated, and not centralize everything at cities.
I would quite like that.
It doesn't matter what exactly IS or ISN'T P2W.
What matters is what most people PERCEIVE as P2W.
Game needs a player population. The larger the population the better for game, because if the game is "alive" and has a healthy player pool, it will attract even more players like that. Players that will not spend cash in cash shop, but also those that will.
The best way for a game to attract a healthy player pool is to not implement something that would be "perceived" as P2W (regardless if it really IS or ISN'T P2W). It's better to go moderately, and focus on cosmetics. Make those cosmetics UNIQUE so no one else but VIP players can get them (not even for cash as single transfers) and you give the VIP a reason to have.
Also add some veteran status to people that have VIP for longer periods of time, and reward people that have VIP for long time by some unique housing options and stuff like that.
I would avoid "time savers" as much as possible personally, because this is usually double edged sword, and many will perceive it as P2W (again perception is crucial here).

Can‘t wait to see Jacopos mood today

Example 6:
People should be told that they are required to work (and compete) for resources, and not expect for game mechanics to simply hand them over, because, hey, they "do not have the mood to compete".
While we are there, how about we change HuMAN to HuLings? xD
Beastmen is a term that includes both beast genders.
Only in modern days few overly sensitive social groups started requesting changes of thousands of years old dictionaries because their fragile ego was hurt (and they are so bored that they don't have anything smarter to do with their time). I can tell you right away, dictionary isn't their problem, they have many more serious issues, but dictionary isn't one of them.

Don't change anything.
GJ on those numbers Yitra.
I've taken the liberty of placing it all on one screen for easier viewing.
Also added general stat info to the table.
(open the image in another screen and zoom it in to 100% to not go blind)
If game ends up:
...then I personally don't care if graphical assets are from asset store or custom made. If they are custom made it's a bonus. If they aren't, and above 4 points are filled, I don't care.
There is a huge issue with the overal mechanics here.
The more protected the citizens are, the LESS they are incentivized to participate in defending the city when siege happens.
This is not only bad for the city as it will surely be taken over if there is no defense. IT is also bad for any attacker, having no fun in the siege event whatsoever.
Residents of the city SHOULDN'T be protected in the first place, they should have the RISK of loosing what they have in the city, to incentivize them to provide city defense in siege events, actually making those events possible.
No, don't be mistaken, providing some other rewards for city defense will not help a lot most people will NOT defend for those rewards, they will NOT defend if they aren't at risk of loosing stuff, they simply won't.
People need to be a risk of loosing everything. This is why "saferesidential area" is, in my opinion ofcourse, not the best choice.
IF people want safe residence, they should settle outside of city.
Out ofcity plot = ADVANTAGE no risk of loosing it during a siege, DISADVANTAGE not having all benefits that city residents have.
Balance has to be made somehow.
Please don't make city residents property safe through sieges!
Need skill to tame wife/husband when you get gaming agro, so you can play more.
That will be by far the most powerful skill you can ever learn.
Its global economic crisis. It affects everything and people have less resources available.
Syndesia feels it too.
Ability for major to allocate number of hours per week that certain cathegories of citizens can use the particular infrastructure in the city.
Ability to define cathegories.
Ability to define tax level for those cathegories.
These cathegories dont have to be set per nobility but can be set per groups lile merchant, city employed crafter, local shop crafter, visitor?, city miltary, whatever.
Then majors could set all sort of stuff for groups they created, tax level, allocate hours per week certain group can use certain infrastructure, etc.
Can this chicken grill itself?
But I'm surethere will be a lot more blueprint models down the line.
Maybe in an expansion, even an architect profession would be nice.
If someone cancels your ingots... stab him.
