Been out of the loop since before the initial transfer. What's the lore behind the situation?

I'm curious if the devs have mentioned any rewarding activity small groups can partake in? By small I mean 4-7 people.
I understand most sandbox games revolve around guilds and amassing large numbers but I don't always want to zerg around. By rewarding I just mean something that makes it feel like it was worth the time. Can't really discuss that part though until we know more about the kind of materials in the game and their worth.Though I'm not asking for huge profit margins, just as long as there is potential for net gain.
Based on what I've read the asteroid belt looks like it could be this if you connect to the right one but was curious if there might be any more information available.

@basileus
I was kinda thinking like higher tier minions having one or two abilities. Making them triggered or automatic would make things easier aswell. I think ultimately having minion variety could add to the combat, however I do agree any spammable minions probably shouldn't have any abilities, or at least nothing crazy.

I know there isn't much information put out about minions by the devs yet but I'd figure I'd put this question up just because I am curious. With a physical character you can generally lean towards utility or damage, same with magic with the additional option of healing (that might also count as utility to some people though). I'm curious if there will be the capability of some sort of specializing if you main into charisma aswell.
Basically I am asking if minions will purely be stat blocks or have some sort of abilities themselves?

I am actually curious about this as well. While I know you prefer the anthropomorphic demon appearance I wouldn't mind the option of more weird or monstrous looking demons aswell.

@jetah Not sure. I think Albion has 1 stealth ability and it lasts around 7 seconds and they still have a stealth counter. At the same time though I only ever seen stealth used in Albion to disengage in PvP or to skip content in PvE.
With that in mind though I would like to add that I personally don't think stealth should be a guaranteed escape or get out of jail free card all of the time. I do think it should work most of the time because nobody wants to build a character with useless abilities, but you should occasional have to face someone who can track you somehow.

@finland said in How will stealth work?:

@jetah I have no clue how the spells will be. but for sure time by time they have to balance everything and invi is one of the most common things that needs to be countered. There are many ways as I said. Smell could be another one too.

Basically this. There have to be ways to counter it else it becomes too dominate. For example in DotA when playing low ranked games heroes like clinks, Riki, and bounty Hunter stomp pubs because no one buys sentries or revealing dust. Even in games with short duration invis like gw2, (which had no counters at first), they had to add counters eventually because it was becoming too dominate

Congrats!

@finland Yeah, they've said you'll have to construct a stargate which I imagine will be hard to do

@finland Yes

@finland However others can travel to Tartaros

If is often mentioned that demons will have an easier time traveling to other planets(Though a harder time staying). I'm curious if this easier time thing, however it manifest(Cheaper gates, faster build time, etc.), is a demon trait or a trait of Tartaros itself? Asking because I am wandering if other races could use Tartaros as a shortcut to other worlds similar to how in Doom you can travel through hell as a shortcut through space. This of course includes weighing the risks of traveling to Tartaros in the first place.

@kairosval With talents won't he be able to get to 23?

I did some searching and from what I've read the answer is it will not be included. The answer why varies depending on who you ask and most of them don't make sense minus these two exceptions which I can understand.
More animation work. They'd have to come up with strafing and backpeddling animations and possibly variations of any ability that can be used why moving. The second reason being balanced. Having full directional movement while being able to attack gives ranged a huge advantage over melee in addition to the normal advantages of range. Now this could be worked around if all ranged abilities required you to stand still anyways but that could limit ability design options more than the developers want.

I know I'm asking about stats that are still in development but after they came up in the spotlight I've been curious. Is there any word on how these will effect skillshots and AoEs? I've always understood making these checks part of targeted abilities and attacks but it would be unfortunate if it made it twice as hard to land a good skillshot. This isn't a dealbreaker for me, I'm mostly just curious.

why did you go for only perception instead of having a wistom stat? was it that accuracy is much stronger of a thing to have compared to other stats?

If you're talking Wisdom in the D&D sense, Perception becomes a better name for it too if you cut off the role-playing side of it

I'm late to the party but I just wanted to add to this. Wisdom in DnD is generally described as "awareness of your surroundings and others" so this is pretty spot on. It being used as "wisdom" is just a consequence that a person who pays close attention to the world around them tends to be wizened. It being used as willpower though has always been controversial since it shares that space with Charisma which is also described as willpower and confidence, but that is another subject.

Hi, I'm new to the fractured community and just wanted to say hi. After playing several mmos I've learned I seem to like "expedition" features in games. Things like wormholes in eve and hellgates in albion. I've become interested in Fractured after reading about how it is divided into 3 planets that you can travel to on expeditions for resources or loot. I've been particularly drawn in by the tease of the asteroid belt feature which to me seems like the most similiar to wormholes and hellgates so I can't wait for them to reveal more information about that. I've also been drawn in by the karma system and "friendly fire" since it seems like it could make deathballing harder to do, at least for evil players. Also I was a fan of being able to change your character's alignment overtime in other games like everquest so that is another plus for me. I wish the best to the developers and hope to see the game come to fruition.
