@finland said in Game Idea : Relic War (PVP):

I absolutly want something like battlegrounds that are not related to gvg but somehow are funny to play. I was just trying to suggest soemthing open world. For what I see there is no way to talk here with ya. You want X and X should be. You con0t care to give things to everyone.

Lol, how am I preventing you from being in a guild, and playing with your guild for this?

Also, if you want such (buff reward based) group content in fractured, it has to be GvG, because if random people keep forming raids and win a relic each time with different group, how in the hell you would design a system to give those particular people relic buff over time, and change it with time constantly? What if they change teams later? Would they just keep changing teams until one random team is able to give them victory?

Such system would be a huge drain on resources because it would have to track thousands of players individually, rather then just tracking particular guilds that won and apply buff to a winning guild.

You know i make suggestions not because I want to make it opposite from what you want, but because I have arguments that make sense.

Congrats everyone!

More shineys to get, because shineys are good.

@grofire said in In game footage?:

why character creation is a thing in an mmorpg ?? from an isometric view point you can't see much.

You can see cleavage, so we definitely need boob size slider!

Players agreeing on stuff after long and difficult discussion.

Players cheering and drinking beer together, celebrating agreement, life is good!

Prometheus stepping in: Hi guys! All this, great stuff! But - no.

I wouldn't be the least surprised if Epic Games was behind all this nice little theater to take over a piece of the cake. Pushing some cash into hands of few "right" people to cause this little drama, and make the takeover.

It would definitely sound like them.

@jenaut said in Lich Transformation:

wait so a Lich as in a class or what? Sorry what exactly you mean. I am just trying to realize how the game is even MORE awesome! lol

It's like angel compared to demon, or abomination compared to beastkin. It's counted as a different race, so you basically change a race, you get a different character looks, and a different racial bonuses.

Your skills/knowledge remain the same as you had before transformation, and eventually you can learn all skills in game regardless of what race you play.

So you have:

• your skills (everyone can learn everything, given enough time and effort)
• character attributes (you set them at character creation and possibly can't change them anymore / or if devs will allow change then it will be very costly and likely have very long cool down)
• race effect (you have the racial bonuses of race you are playing with)
• your gear (anyone can equip any gear, and different gear will make you more effective in different situations)

@Benseine I would certainly love several game types guilds could play in open world. There is no need to limit the game number to only one.

Hopefully they will learn from this.

@tulukaruk said in Lich Transformation:

I wonder how it will be with stats as humans have all stats on neutral and more stats points at start. Will they stay the same or will they reset?

I believe humans are being designed to be the most flexible race.

As such, humans lack racial bonuses given at start, and they also lack particular attribute affinities given at start.

• To make up lack of affinities, they have more attribute points to chose from to be able to shift more easily between roles down the line compared to beast kin and demons.
• To make up for lack of racial bonuses, they get the use of tech (humans can equip bodily implants, that basically give you boosts like racial bonuses would). This also goes to flexible game play, because while demons and beast kin have fixed racials, humans can change their implants and switch bonuses around to fit current role better.

So as human it pays off to boost most attribute points equally, and then by changing your decks and bodily implants during your game play, you can more effectively fit the most roles that can be played.

Meanwhile beast kin and demons are designed more to be min maxers in particular roles (schools). They can also be set up as "somewhat flexible" but not nearly as flexible as humans can.

New race: Lizard-Kin

Racial bonus: for every 3 hours of laying in the sun and doing nothing you gain one random boon (this can be a knowledge point, a few resources, small amount of currency or something else).

God: Slackilis, master of sleep and dreams, to give him an offering it is enough to come to temple and slack there for a while.

Can travel to all planets, but by moving extremely slowly.

I don't really like the term "the last wave"... It sends my thoughts to something like this

Lets hope things are going in the opposite direction!

Perhaps just some achievement that could be displayed in dungeon owners housing area.

For example:

• player builds a dungeon that other teams can explore
• there is time frame in which other parties must complete the dungeon
• owner of dungeon could keep a score, how many times his dungeon managed to defeat attackers (they didn't finish it in designated time frame) and that score could be displayed on flag on players house, and number would update accordingly.
• if attackers manage to complete dungeon in time, they could get some reward (there could be a cool down on dungeon attempts each player would have tracked for his own character, perhaps 1 dungeon attempt per day, this way dungeons wouldn't be abused to repeatedly hand out rewards)

@frequencyzero said in parkour system/паркур:

I'm not so sure parkour works in games with isometric perspectives though? At least haven't seen it implemented outside the occasional dodge-roll or dash system.

Even Ultima VIII Pagan (loong time ago) had elements of parkour. Your character could jump and climb on stuff if he was in reach. He would jump and if there was an edge to grab he would try to pull up and check if there is enough of surface to stand on, if no would fall back down.

And that was like decades ago.

@Kralith No problem, Granpa

Gran'ma please

Medicine can do wonders today, its easy for grandma to become grandpa.

Infusing life into inanimate objects could be interesting.

It could work like in old RPG-s where if you found some clay or dirt on the ground and casted a spell on it you could summon a clay giant, and if you casted your spell on rock surface you would summon a rock giant.

Fractured will already have certain ground spots designated as certain type, and spell might be a ground targeted AOE cast and depending where you cast it, you might get different type of summon.

Clay or rock giants, water elemental, sand monster,... you name it. All by using just one same spell.

Ultima VIII Pagan, 24 YEARS ago, isometric CLICK TO MOVE with climbing.

1:35 attempt to climb
2:12 successful climb

Nice PR event.

Here is my entry.

I personally prefer spells not to be restricted. This ensures game will be skill based, as everything will be accessible to everyone, so character control skill and "smarts" (and effort, placed into being ready with consumables) will be the only factors deciding the outcome of 1 vs 1 engagements.

"Smarts" goes to being able to theory craft and apply your deck well (without spell restrictions), knowing to use an environment to your advantage, and generally outsmarting an enemy.

Of course luck might partially play a role here and there, when someone is caught off guard, with the "wrong" build, but at least being unable to use some spells at all and getting disadvantaged like that will not be the factor.

At night I would like to see NPC's have drunken brawls and prostitutes whisper you if you pass by them.

While also showing you boobs.

Grats all, and special grats to @Kralith on level 400!
