@Pluto How so, the prices are of the same level as early bird. The only packs that're actually cheaper (as no early bird back then) is the Aristocrat/Governor/creator packs. If you went in for 850 bucks, i doubt you now will feel that 100 bucks money you could save. And user count wise, they just might have wanted to sell more of these. So the whole work that goes into them, isn't costing more then the few packs they sold of these? (as they're limited)

Do non-KS get the KS perks? I doubt they will, so there you have your free stuff ^^.

@Specter Perfect. Even if some people will hate me saying this, i am happy i didn't miss it xD. That info should be on a news page, so people know "Hey i could still get in on that?!". Just june makes it kinda swampy.

PS: Nice work on Alpha 1 test so far. I watched alot of streams (finally after months) and you guys did some solid work there. This, Dual Universe, MadWorld(still nearly no info on that one, but it just hits the old ragnarok online gamers hearth in me...) and Crowfall are my hopes for the future of gameing/ mmoprgs in general atm. I hope you stick to your lofty goals and don't drift into future creep to much before realese ^^. Will be seeing you ingame soon i guess.

I'm a Knight Level now xD... gone and done it. Don't get hit by an meteor now dear devs.

@Prometheus Is the A1T2 still going for June. Or has that already passed?

I would love to decide to buy in finally, but would be bummed out if i missed the test ... Any update on just "its not yet started/ its gonna start soon / it already ended"?

@Canterbury :3 thanks. But june isn't really a concrete timeslot. I'm thinking of buying into Alpha1 and would be so bummed out, if the A1T2 was over already.
I waited long enough to get a view of ALpha1 from streamers, then forgot to view the stuff for ages xD... other stuff kept creeping up.

I'm prolly gonna roll a dice in a few hours and see if i will get Alpha 1 or Alpha 2.
Where could i see how the Dragon Pet looks at level 4 again?

Hmm.... the shadow dragon looks allloooott more to my liking. As i want to be an lich someday, if i manage. Damm ...
The knight armor skin is fine, i would love the aristocrat skin but 750 bucks are way too much to my liking ^^.

Guess the dice is gonna be weighted down towards alpha 1 pack...

@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.

@Morgion Albion is made FOR whales ^^.

When is A1T2 going live anyways?

There's no info on that anywhere as far as i can see.

Well. I doubt that not having any gear but being skillfull will make you win any fights.
There will be things you gain from equip and a larger variety of skills from the widom tree.

So a newb that starts out or the ganger which is naked, have less chance to kill ya.
But there's a chance, as the game isn't like.

Super gear 100000% HP and DPS buff.
Noob gear, lets get swatted...

xD a new guy wil be able to fight and maybe win against an old guy, if he's reaaaalllllyyy good.
But that will be rather ... rare.

I think it will boil down to two things.

1. Gear will be good, but not necessary. The extra you get from gear makes your playstyle synergize better. Then someone going out with an tablespoon at you.

2. Skills. Having a definitive build versus a freshly hatched player. Is a advantage in itself.

@kralith said in Racial Diversity of Fractured Visualized:

@greenfox ahhh you mean all the P0w0rR0xx0rs, yes indeed they will rule the world. can‘t breath because of excessive laughing

:3 Yup. Well i like PvP if it's cordinated group vs group or 1 vs 1. Arena style matches can be fun too.
But i guess the most action we will see is gangers getting the better end of solo farmers.

Welp, in the end we might need some good guilds to create patrols on the human world.
For savekeeping.

That would net them positive PR atleast.
And bragging rights :3 + training against group gangers.

@prometheus gCreditcards sucks.

xD

I wont get a creditcard just for KS.
Reason done.

It's stupid that paypal isn't alloweed, even if i understand the reasoning off KS. But anyways, open up your shop already xD!

And pleaes do give some good deals to shop buyers for the first month too.
It sucks that KS guys get all the goods ... and people that couldn't back are left out.

Bonuses to everyone!

@kralith Not for the skillfull "Pro Pvper, Carebear screamers" ^^. They prefer uncordinated group vs 1 guy action.

@myux said in Racial Diversity of Fractured Visualized:

@agracore that will be the main thing going on in demon home planet. its just gonna be people constantly getting into drama and trying to kill each other, as small scale factions or larger. its the same way in every pvp mmo.

Constant laughter-
Yup.

As far as i have seen, pvpers that aren't good tend to focus on playing against people that are worse then them.
These will probably not be in that war.

But pvp factions/ guilds will surely make the demons homeplanet wet with fresh blood, on a daily basis.
It's fun to play in cordinated pvp ^^.

@agracore Unlikely but possible ^^.

Atleast statisticaly, any player will have a demon character at a point. But only one of the others.
O rnone of the others.

So that could screw the statisitc, ingame character wise.

Demons just have a high atk potential from stats alone and a certain appeal ^^.

I guess, at somepoint after chracter creation. We will see a shift towards humans/ beastman.

But a nearly even split is kind of nice~

1. Stats. Will we get more diverse stats? Luck, Wisdom, Spirit to name a few. These could either split roles of exisitng stats or give new meaningfull bonuses. Like Luck = Extra Crit and RNG drop chance enhancment for fishing or whatever. Wisdom = easyer time learning stuff and gives protection from spell damage. Spirit = Enhances classes that can summon creatures or tame them?

2. PvP Arenas? I mean not the kind where you que up and wait to be pulled into a instanced wormhole. But actual arenas on the map. Terrain suited for 5vs 5 combat, clearly only acessible trough two points and possible with terrain specials (swamps, ice, lava, etc.).

3. Respawning of Trees etc. Will it happen? Or is the world going to be a barenland, like amazonia will be someday?

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.

@suruq Bronze/ Silber/ Gold/ Platinium/ Oridicon/ Elunium/ Adamantite.

In increases of 100.
So 100 bronze is 1 Silber, etc.

Which makes it easyer to handle large amounts of money.
Bronze would be cents.
Silber would be dollars.
Gold would be big papermoney.
Platinium would be IOU.
Etc.

@gothix that would happen, then the new guild can siege the town and take over, if it's not on araberous.

@tulukaruk You clearly haven't experienced that ingame xD.

Word travels only to the people who look and listen for it.
I have seen guildmasters, that made their members pay a "security fee" just for being int he biggest guild ever.
He kicked people that he deemed unworthy, just moments before his "secuirty squad" gangbanged them and stole all the stuff they should transport to another town, as the guild master stated that they want to change the guild bank area.

And i heard this story more often then it should happen.
Funny thing is. PEOPLE DONT READ FORUMS or anything that could inform them of this.
They see a big badass guild, promising stuff and shiny opurinitys.
Get hooked, reeled in and grilled alive.

Makeing this even easyer for these scammers, by 2/3 right of vote or full dictatorship ... seems productive. If you want to kill your server population. People playing already inform themself rarely about a game, but negative press will keep possible new newbies away...

Don't get me wrong. I am all for punishing misdeeds and voteing people out of town that are toxic little goblins.
But it should come with safety for the "innocent" not just with the stick of loseing all of your stuff, instantly ... which you worked weeks for. To build your little manor and set it up. Place a chest with spare equips of good quality and stuf flike that.

@prometheus tldr. Don't go and life in guild towns, if you don't trust the guys in power. And don't life in free towns that are mostly populated by a tightlyknot group, care to fall for scamers.

Haveing the power to bag any or all possesions of a player, is kinda hardcore.
I can see this be abused hard, to either profit of newbies or harras people into paying large taxes or doing other chores.

"Pay me this tax/bribe or i will get 2/3 of the people to nuke your possesions in this town. And guess what, you can't debuild your stuff you put here. And that money you put into our banks for interests, that's lost somehow then too."

Rather then changeing possesion, it should debuild his stuff and he will get back the money he paid for the lot. Being able to evict that spot in 3~7 days. If not evicted, the ressources and the money will be owned by the town.

.... can you elaborate why it's the "gunpoint" way and not the "evicted by vote, fore being toxic and selling fake alchemy potency potions."?
