@Sweetdeal89 Pleaes do put down plots for us to stake and stuff for us to do. Or kick me from your roster, as atm not being able to make my own house in a city is keeping me from testing city stuff.

Anyone who has seen Devs do Friday or Weekend realeses. Knows how stupid an idea that is.
One reason most patches and stuff are tuesdays or thursdays.

Good that you guys take your own mental and physical health into consideration. No need to crunch on weekends, to fix another hidden game breaking bug or server restart. Just so that a few people can play a few days earlyer. Which is still a test run, to literally find problems and get feedback.

I really will enjoy fractured next week. Till now i had been positive suprised how smooth its going. ;3 sometimes you gotta offer up that code goat to the machine gods, better get that cabal group going stronger next time. Haha.

PS: Don't rush. This game is looking to be what i hoped albion would become. Sadly albion got doggy styled by people abusing stuff and devs not careing. + the whole real money tradeing. Keep stuff cosmetic and time saveing, sucess will come.

PPS: .... i do hope we get some wolfs type pets or cool cosmetics on realese. I gotten that winter fox, cause i love foxes ;D. But i dunno what to spend my 19k dynamight gold on atm. Give em stuff to spend and i will spend it. I'ma sucker for cosmetics ....

... guys you wont die from a few more days. And its always a bad idea, to realese a patch/game on a friday.
Regardless of alpha or not.

Weekend Madness .... is a thing. Something goes wrong and someone of the devs will feel pressured to fix it... on a weekend.
So it's naturally better for everyone to just freaking wait and delay the launch.

xD

I can wait. So you guys can too.

@00 Best reply ever :3.

Well.

Its good that these happen now.
Not later.

So they get squashed and documented ^^.

Well, i joined now :3.

Lets see when the alpha 3 is opened up tommorow or next week.

Do you guys use discord?

If your still looking for people. I will join you guys too xD.

Is it gonna be "late" Q4 or somewhere in the early~mid stage? ^^

Ahhh!

Okay :3.

Gonna Check that each hour then maybe.

@Corben Where do you get that info from? Discord? ^^

SO my working day is starting, probably another few hours till they add the download.
After work it should be here ;3.

Welp, what can i say. Dual Universe gets it's Alpha 2 on the 11july ... so i am torn between these two. Probably will depend on how well it runs.

@Specter Good to know. Better a good patch then a really buggy version ^^. But don't fix all of them xD.

@Specter Soon? Someone said 2 week notice before it comes. But June is over nearly :3. Did someone forget to post a news article or is the test later then june?

I'm giddy for some testing before July 11 ... cause otherwise i will need to split myself in two.

@Roccandil In any game, people will undercut each other ... even if they lose money.

I personally hope Fractured will be similar. Because i make my ingame wealth of idiots on market/AH xD.
In Albion i farmed my gold (before i quit) by simply going to a market, checking the price for stuff and buying it cheap then pedddling it to an market where i could sell it for more.
Someone wants to sell wood T3 for 100? Heck i will sell it for 90, wait a bit and buy off people that undercut me. As my 90 offer has alot of stuff in it~ While doing so i have "buy" orders for 89 too.

Check next day or a few hours later (after work) and i can now resell that stuff or craft it into usefull things. And sell these.

Rather then tradeing fully crafted items, i specialized in tradeing materials ... cause everyone wants to craft their own stuff or has a friend that got a crafter.
In the end, high tier stuff crafted sells. Newbie stuff crafted is gonna get undercutted, below material price. Just cause someone is gonna want to sell their equipment someday later.

Tldr: Don't mess with the crafting rng too much. But give crafters a way to be better, if they are "really crafters. Stats on Dexerity= Better craft results ? Mage stuff crafted needs dexerity and int. Swordmans stuff strength and vitality. Etc xD. But we will see how fractured handles crafting.

@Jetah Then i misunderstood that ^^.

@Tuoni Trust me, you don't want to kill a game. Just to have a bit more room in the first week. When everyone is hyped and to lazy to walk ^^.

And problems like Albion had and has, are just lazy network codeing. And a bad decision to even create "zones".

By beta in Fractured, we will probably know how good the server tech can handle alot of people logging in at once. Atm the tech they use, should make it possible to have alot of people spawn into the game and run about, in the same time. Worst case, we all get a que system in place.

And if everything is gone and empty in a zone, people should just naturally move out further... channels/shards just make people channel/shard hop.
The last game i tested of this kind, was tree of savior. Looked nice, devs had goals and everything was fun in the Alpha. Then they tuned down spawnrates so much, that YOU NEEDED to channel hop to have something to kill all the time... it was a grind game. So that's the point of it. In the end, they lowered exp gain and spawn even more. As people ate trough the themepark content to fast ...

Will people have the same problems in fractured? Might be, my goal here is to have fun. Like in most games. DOn't need no endgame carrot, that is just a papermachete bait.

IF fractured is a to big hit at realese, they just need to prepare enough server power and landmass and server tech must work well.
As the worlds are already 3 "servers", it should work out ... most likely. And i rather have problems duo too many people, then 10 servers extra. That will be empty after 2 months ... or channels i NEED to hop in search of stuff to kill. Fix the game, don't bandaid the problem xD.

Sharding is the death of many games.
Specially for a game like fractured.

So probably, no.

Easyer fix then "lazy" shards. Simply make the world big enough and have no tuturial area. Fractured will probably not have any tuturial area, rather learn by doing or a simple "begginers quest" to learn the basics. If i remember correctly. I bet we will be dropped into different starting "zones" from where we can spread and do whatever we want xD.

Too many people around? Go explore new areas.
And if the server map is really to small, they can just add more landmass to it~

tik tok tik tok

Time is flowing ^^.

cough

nice how people like stuff as soon as they get an anime.

Shield Hero has been around for years ^^.

But back to topic.
Why would we need a "class" for it?
Talents/Skills for Shields are probably planned.

And if we want to make a Shield Hero MMORPG, i would try to cancel my pledge xD.
The Webnovel/Novel/Anime and Manga are all nice in they're respective medium. But the game mechanics of that universe suck so hard and are so abuseable, that's not funny.

As someone who read trough the web novel and the light novel (up do date vol. 13, as i buy it in english [the translation is crappy at times ... worse then the fan translation xD]), i can say that ^^.

It's like SAO ... no one in their right mind would play that game. It would flop as fast as most other themepark mmoprgs did (like WIldstar etc.).

One shouldn't take inspiration from such sources for another type of games. Most of these are flawed to a point, just to drive the story ^^.
And most times the author just went with the flow and creates soooo sooo many plot holes. Which get even worse, when after the early sucess a big publisher gets interested and they try "fixing" / "adjusting" it.

And before you get me wrong.
I love the shield hero stuff. The anime changes make me cringe a bit at certain scenes or when they leave out or put something in the wrong timeframe. It's still nice to watch overall altough ^^. I just wished they stuck to the original LN or the Web Novel ... not go with a butchers hobby artwork. Adding needless fanservice xD.

You should read the Web and LN :3.
