@Farlander, I support the ability to hire NPC or player merchants to sell your goods, perhaps for a convenience fee. @Clinion said in City Suggestion Megathread?: As many people discussed in some other threads, the testing plan was not optimal and usually unnecessarily long with limited amount of content. Also the available content was not appealing to everybody, so people got bored very quickly and the world became empty in a very short time. Some people suggested shorter test intervals which provides all previous content directly to tester and leaves only the newly added parts for tester to test. This is a possible and a good solution in my opinion. However, some people like me might want long test periods as we like to play the game for a longer period of time while testing all possible aspects. The main demotivator here is the lack of "continuous" content. Long story short, I have a proposal for future tests that might attract different types of players while providing relatively more "continuous" content. This new magical idea is not my own but from a game called Ashes of Creation(AoC). The system in that game is called "caravan system" and I think, if implemented with slight variations, it would be a very nice addition to Fractured. Here is how it goes: Citizens within cities which have researched a trading tech has the option to create a "city caravan". City caravan is a bigger version of the normal wagon and has the ability to carry both heavy and normal materials in large amounts. City caravan should be either directly rentable by gold or a craftable tool like wagon. (So far this is a system for trading, crafting and maybe mob grinding oriented(PvE) players; but here comes the twist) The city caravan can only be driven by Neutral players. The caravan also has a health pool(like a horse) and when destroyed, all the items inside will be lootable by everyone. I believe this system will attract both PvE and PvP oriented players while providing a continuous content. I also would like to hear your opinions I also encourage Fractured to implement caravan events a la AoC. It generates content for cities, merchants, and criminals. Great suggestion!

@Kazzier said in Meridian's Spring 2021 Alpha test feedback - OPEN DISCUSSION ENCOURAGED!: I know it's already been discussed but I would still like to chime in: Glad you did! Resources REALLY need to be more scarce or have higher demand. I'm personally aiming to be a local merchant, and everything I have gathered, nobody is interested in buying because all resources are too easily available / uncontested. This is probably partly due to low population with it being an Alpha, but if you need food for example, it's literally everywhere, so there is never a need to "stock up". So for new players, or someone wanting to play casually, that's a whole system that isn't worth engaging with. Or if they do try to engage with it, it yields no profit. 100% agreed and I'm glad you've publicly identified yourself as one of those niche local merchants. Meridian will definitely want to do business with you so as to encourage you and other folks like you. Harbours - Personally I am totally against fast travel, as it reduces the immersion of the game and I've seen it damage the open world in many other MMO's. That said, if it's here to stay, then whatever. The only true plus side to this is the "money sink" aspect. And I honestly think it should be extremely expensive to fast travel around the world, as otherwise the value of rare/locational items because eroded. Someone on the very south of the map should have a very very hard time attaining resources from the very north of the map, which in turn increases their value. Over-accessibility = no value or sense of achievement for acquiring it. Long story short - resources across the land need way more value. Again, 100% agreed. Long story short - resources across the land need way more value. Thanks for reading. Hope this helps We appreciate your contributions and hope others like you speak up!

@Alexian Nope, sorry.

Looks like the patch was meant to fix this? Hope things are working now!

Fixed in v.a.2.5.0c

@Prometheus said in Major bug: Claimed City with a Town Hall shows as Unclaimed with No Governor: @Alexian this looks bad! Do you see the correct window? Are you able to place blueprints etc? Hi @Prometheus, it's happening again: Still able to put down blueprints and plots and such.

In preparation for the upcoming Fall 2021 Alpha test, @Bardikens has presented an intriguing proposal for niche players. Check it out! https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/14286/markets-and-merchant-guilds-a-reimagining-of-the-current-system/1

@Junkie @boogis Even though I like small talk, I would ask that you start your own thread and not use a guild recruitment thread for it.

The VIP/developers forum might be a great place for us to collaborate with the developers on designing relics and the other things in the Creator+ packs. That seems appropriately exclusive.

When I played World of Tanks a couple years ago, it had exactly what I see you all arguing for: No alliances Friendly fire Collisions Restricted guild sizes (100) Equal-sized forces The clan wars maps would reset periodically, to give everyone an equal chance of getting on the map Was it the nirvana you describe? Nope. All the best players flocked to a few guilds (clans), who then dominated the best territories, divided it up, stopped fighting each other, and only defended themselves from the lesser guilds who tried to attack. New guilds/players had very little opportunity to play with top-tier players in a clan setting and thus learn how to improve. I was once able to arrange getting one of the professional e-sports players to shotcall a battle for my clan, and the difference was stark, but it was something that simply didn't happen much. Limited battle sizes meant it was impossible to include everyone in my clan who wanted to fight in clan wars, and I continually had to put eager people on the bench, which caused all kinds of drama. Now I'm seeing you all argue for something I already know from experience doesn't work. I don't think you all can truly understand how awesome the zerg meta is for me in Albion, having first experienced World of Tanks! Zergs include everyone, and the lack of alliance limits (and the disabling of friendly fire) mean that the best alliances still want new people, giving those new people a chance to play with very good players and thus learn. I very much want to see that in Fractured.

Players could be standing on a meadow in the way so their bodies form inappropriate shapes. Standing should not be part of a game!

@Jetah said in Trade caravans...?: (...)it doesn't have to be realistic to imagine how it'd work. Sorry, I thought we were discussing the question on how Fractured would accomplish something other games did not (according to the original poster, or at least the solution provided didn't satisfy him). And that somewhat implies a realistic approach, doesn't it?

Sounds good. Basically the more customization the system offers, the better.

welcome!

@Alexian only reason alts exist is because there are 3 main races, 8 sub-races, angel/demon/litch versions of each sub-race. While i plan to main a demon race, i do plan to have a beast and human just to see the differences of play style and planets.
