I hope dungeons will not be just always soloable.
These need to come in danger zones.

"Solo Zone"
"Duo Zone"
"Group 5+ Zone"
"Guild War Zone"

So that we can have some real dungeons, not just places to grind.

@jairone The only good CC debuff i have ever seen.

After receiving an Stun. You will have an 20% chance to shrug off the next stun.
And this stacks and sticks with you for 20 seconds.

I know, i know!
It makes it hard for cc spam to affect a fight if it goes on to long.
But as both sides have the same debuff going on, picking targets and killing them while on the first cc or second rotation.
Makes this more tactical, then to perma cc someone with a chain spam.

And if something is doable, people will do it.
I can remember a guild, that would abuse "stun" spam via a musical skill.
Anyone entering the range, would be stunned ... forever. They won pvp matchs non stop, till the devs added the stacking debuff. Which made pvp generaly more fun and fair.

• CC resitance got added as a stat, derived from vitality. Tanks would be harder to cc then squishy mages or archers.

@baumhauer Das meinte ich :3.

Pets that collect the booty obtained in a battle, but never players / users who have died this could be bad for the community because if two go for the loot the pet would get it.
Developers of Fractured do this reality please I do not want to die picking up the loot of the beasts that I kill all the time, thanks!
@Specter let us know our beloved gods of Fractured

I would really like that too.
You could even make that an VIP feature, as long as the enemy is an NPC and you are "Good" you can't lootsteal anyways.
And any neutral/ bad guy wont care for breaking that "ettiquette".

@grimsley

It is quite amibitous in its own way. But they don't do alot of things that are hard, at the same time. The biggest ambition is the server structure. Which makes and breaks the game.

I really hope we can get good stretch goals ^^. Mostly extra skills, weapons, building materials being modular or features for group plays.

@jetah I have been around in alot of alphas ... and the newer generations of gamers are just to spoiled.

Search functions generally don't get used or wrongly.
And it's faster to write 1 sentence down with a vague question, then to search for info.

It's a problem i seee in trainees at my workplace too ... people got this whole mass of information avaible to them and they can't use it.

Well i fail sometimes too, but information is a worthfull thing.
Devs should post a large FAQ everyone needs to read and answer some questions at the end .. before getting an forum acc. xD But then these forums would be quite empty...

@greenfox I would like to not see a VIP system. In that case i prefer P2P (pay to play) games. So a forced subscription.

YOu "don't" prefer badly done vip services.
Right done ones are just fine. But most games go from "right" to "slow p2w" in a few moments.

Vip shouldn't impact the game at all, except cosmetics and maybe discounts on other purchases. Or maybe priority acess, when the que time is stacked. Like each x logins, an vip got to be pushed ahead.

Hmmm... well splitting userbase is hopefully done after you know that theres enough to keep the server alive. Or you might need to merge these again, which would be hard with how citys and stuff work.

How will you handle the city perks and stuff liek statues?

AND most importantly... pleaes don't outsource it to a localicatuon agency. These are all crappy as hell.
Rather give the "crowd" ... us the usersbase the chance to translate it from one language to another.

It's free. Maybe a bit free dynamight gold or a nice handshake, so not fully free.
It's accurate. Not at the start, but the longer it's up. The more people will check over it.
It's barely trolled .. there's always a few blacksheep, but rather having an skill be named "Mr.Frog.Meme" and "spawn best meme" for a few minutes or hours. Then the crappy translation of agencys who take good money for it ... forever.

I had good experience with CrowdIn and similar databases with a few other indie development games.

Yeah.

I get that.

But having a written test "i understand what this is" is something i always wish for .. and never get :3.

I really HATE people that spam the ever constant:
"WHy nO can PlAy?"
"Is it P2w!?!"

And all the other obvious answers one would get through, by typeing a simple search or reading a faq.
But these kind of people are to lazy xD and to spoiled :3.

I have seen people ask how they could move in a game, that has a madatory tuturial with that information ahead of it ... they just pushed the fast forward button constantly. Then get stuck and blame the game ... which leads to bad pr.

@salamanderham

Then either Arabeos the beat planet or the human one are something for you. The beast one is mainly about corporation.

@Jetah Reading my mind xD.

@Znirf cough i heard its late june, given that it#s a two week announcment. Do we get that one next monday then ? :3

Date = 28~30 june?

@kagero Yeah, same for me.

Probably gonna be a beatmen here.
We still can "join" the humans on their server, to repel the demons.

Which will most likely be the main PvP event for us.
But we won't be "well a demon just pooped up there and ganked me" like the humans, even outside these invasions.

I fear. That PvPers will be demons, but the demon planet will be quite live less.
Pvpers want to kill "weak prey" not fight with other bloodthirsty guys over scraps xD.
We will see.

Mostly. They will only get a little sale here.
People like me, that waited to see what alpha 1 photage looks like and maybe a few new faces.

I doubt it's over 10~20k. But we can check the founding later on.

Such a "sale, before we stuff this greatly reduced prices on vip and stuff into the trash bin. Cause it would hurt us in the long run" is normal xD.

If i am wrong, i will fess up 10 bucks and print me a shirt with.
"Pluto was right, its a cash grab!"

1. Are you giving the "voted out" people a chance to keep their stuff. This is otherwise prone to scamming ...

2. How will siege handle ownership of buildings, etc.

3. Will assests be frozen, when a siege is engaged. So that the towns governour can't take everything out and run with his guild, just to comeback later and retake the city without any monetary loses, when the attacking guild deems it not worthy to defend .. or can't as they got no income yet.

@Pluto Can you point me to the shady stuff DS has done? I will list the shady SC stuff in my head to get a measure of shady level.

outside of the foundation, invite a friend to profit from them sheme xD.

@Canterbury Well, there's alot of games that want to change that P2W fuel.

It's not a sustauinable model. BUT its good for a cash grab.
The big publishers know this mostly too ... look at EA.
Makes game, realses it without p2w to get good rateing and then puts in lots of p2w to suck try whales.

My only worry is that fractured will get p2w too, if they ever SELL the rights ... and a section publisher in some countrys ruin the PR by going hard p2w.

Just praying that their stance on P2W stuff still stands.
I have no worrys about quickening things up. But no one should be able to buy something, that you cant get ingame with pure work.

If you can pay to get 20 hours work done, by working 2 hours in real life flipping burgers. That's fine.
But if you need to spend money to get that "Prestige" Stuff thats hitting you hard in pvp, you can't get anyway else...

In Albion alot of other stuff ... went wrong, p2w wasnt so much an issue. More like they're ideas for endgame and community interaction where just bad.

@Pluto Not talkign about the dev plunders on stuff. But shady stuff. What shady stuff has DS done? I'm not trolling you, just want to know. Cause i don't see anything except a way to spread the word for free, with promise of possible free stuff (which you can get by just idling too, i'm 125 level in foundation).

I really hope that we will be able to "tame" undead creatures as Lich and no other race will be able to do that. That would be something unqiue for the race that's literally undead.

^^

Outside of that i am happy to see that Pets (with no fighting capabilties) and other companions will be useable at the same time.
Would love to see skills related to the fighting capable ones too. Like healing your pet, boosting it or giviing it orders to attack someone or follow someone supportive.

As far as i remember.
Any new cosmetic stuff and items added to the new pledges, will be given to all pledgers of old too.

So you don't even need to buy the "seasonal" pledges, some other games do to get extra founding.
(Crowfall which i like is doing that + sales ... on them cosmetics too. Ashes of Creation is doing it too. Only one who doesn't change up their "pledges" are Dual Universe atm, of the ones i am watching. And they gotten 20 mio of external founding. Duo being just really interesting for some investors, tech wise and so on.)

But lets stop.
People who paid more will be salty.
People who could upgrade now, will be happy.
New people wont understand the problem.
And someone who does the math, kind of argues "why care?".

The best that could happen is.
DS drops PR and gets another 100k of money in this month. Which would help pitch the game to investors, with favorable terms for them. Unlikely~
What's more likely to happen, is a few thousands more in sales. On pledges, they could jus thave retired and put up new ones with less stuff in it.
