Go, go. We need 160,000 € for fishing for ingame relaxing
Kind of hate this garbage. Fishing always feels so un-interactive yet mandatory for free mindless growth. Kind of like a burn-your-pc-and-afk-your-char-to-get-free-copper-but-a-mountain-of-copper-turns-into-gold activity.
I don't have any motivation for pledge package which is why I didn't pledge. I want to feel the game in a more completed state not just in some "idea" state before I spend money.

2k from getting the Enhanced Character Creation
Just wait for the first Alpha 1 footage to appear on Youtube in January/February and we're going to breeze through these stretch goals (if the stretch goals last as long
).
I think the funding lasts until open beta stage if I'm not mistaken. 
At least they don't seem like they'll be taking them off while the game is still in developmental phase.
I like your devotion towards skeletons. Quality shit-post too (I'm actually not sure which). Thumbs up, lets get your skeleton rolling.
@jahlon eh actually, I've been following AoC for quite a while and from their BR mode, apocalypse, I personally don't think they'll get it released (or maybe released with a very bumpy delay like AoC: A) in 2019. As for fan base for AoC you can definitely tell there are genuine players interested in the game and also fanboys that will support it no matter what (like any other game of course), but a lot of people are starting to see AoC for what it is and less people seem interested. Some are either turned off by the direction the game has been moving towards, some have pointed out apocalypse is a pretty big cash grab (considering they even shut down the BR mode) while selling cosmetics (that are mostly dyed versions of other cosmetics - which is confirmed can be dyed in the actual MMORPG => people are just buying a red, blue, yellow of same costume that can be dyed anyways to the other colors). Some simply have a feeling of what the game plays out to be (expectation vs reality). While the hype train is definitely still there, I personally think AoC is DEFINITELY an overhyped game but definitely has enough potential to be a popular game.
Personally, I have played the BR mode when it is available. I think AoC is quite a nice game for a game that is still alpha. Things are pretty smooth if you have a good pc, but honestly, the optimization is shittier than you would expect even in an alpha game (yeah its horribly optimized for sure so if you are on the hype train for this game you better have a good pc).
I guess: TL;DR: AoC's "lift off" kind of depends on how much you consider it to be a lift off. Will it soar to rank 1? Don't think so. Will it be a decent/good game for a lot of people? Definitely.
I think games have their pros and cons with AH/no AH. For example, I think something like Drakensang Online does an extremely good job as a game without AH while ArcheAge's AH works extremely well for a game like AA. Too bad I don't have the time atm to discuss things in detail sorry xD. Out on vacation atm.
sounds absolutely garbage. Just teach it directly, no need to give "special" perks to people who do it. This just makes alts more viable which sucks to begin with. If you need extra bonus for helping people on "specific things" that can be logged as quests, then that is all the more reason for the mentor system to not exist as you won't give a damn to teach the real details if it doesn't exist on your "mentor quest". Yeah, mentor systems are usually garbage because if you can simply narrow stuff down to things you can teach rather than learning, the game already failed and Fracture's horizontal progression sure as hell better not be some mentor-able garbage.
Basically, you rather they design the game well enough for it to teach itself, not some half-assed system that will never be good enough for a well made game because it simply narrows down all complexity into a few items on a checklist to check off. There are things people teach in guides because a mentor system for specific taught quests will just rush things that the player might not need to know and eventually forget (kind of like a crap tutorial).
Honestly if alpha 1 is only a tiny bit more than pre-alpha there isn't much to stream. A vid or two should cover everything.
no PVP, bad balancing of skills, and lack of diversity in builds and gameplay.
RIP a bit late. I think some people no longer care anymore anyways since the pre-alpha drawings are already done.
if its good more time, if it isn't none.
@eurav said in Weapon upgrading:
So, let´s take a Longsword Recipe as example. You can craft this Longsword with wood, which will result in an wooden longsword. The wooden longsword has some specific stats, which will always be the same when you craft a Longsword with wood. If you craft the Longsword with stone, you will get a stone longsword, with a different specific set of stats (different from the one craftet with wood) , which will not change no matter how often you craft it with stone.
Yeah, kind of disappointed when I saw this. I hope not all gear just look the same in endgame (what I mean is I hope if I'm using a spear I'm not just choosing diamond spear because that is the best spear in game). That would be incredibly boring gear-wise and dumb down their whole idea of having various builds because gear is so limited.
Example: If I want to use a spear as a weapon, I can't choose between three or even two spears (For example one spear gives bonus to X skill while the other has higher base attack speed, and the last one deals 30% bonus damage when opponent has bleed status). If there are no gear selection it would limit the build selection especially because Fractured is marketed as a "horizontal" progression game where you can have more diverse skills that combo together to help you produce effects.
With large variety of skill usually comes inefficiencies in most possible combinations; therefore, it still leads to certain combinations of skills being better than others. This can be changed/alleviated by having more than one system (example: game not only based purely on skill, equipment matters for builds). I really hope gear is not too generic to make a well made skill system seem boring. 
Well if you're on title #2 and you're at 4080 that would mean the population count so far is pretty low I'd say. TF#2-Messenger isn't hard to get, so basically there isn't that many players. Obviously, when the game enters closed beta more news/vids will be out there and attract more people. That being said, I'm glad I completed the foundation levels.
Well, I never expected much from Blizzard.
@nozy epic games just riding the wave of fortnite kids these days. They think all they need is a good game with a shit ton of people to start a store (it helps a ton), but boy kinda hard to do business with epic if you're afraid they'll just plagiarize your game since they also support the game engine. Well, who knows~ I personally like discord store too so....
Well my dear key isn't here yet, and if my key isn't here then you shouldn't worry about yours. You dig me?
uh what? You mean temporary dungeon from world event?
If you just found out today research it more thoroughly before deciding to buy a founder pack! There is quite some information out there so you don't want to buy into a game that you'll end up disliking.
