@tulukaruk + @Eurav
Well yes, there should be in next such survey a text field for each answer, to give feedback to each rating.
Well, maybe some text limit, since the poor guys would receive walls of text by me, just because i was drinking too much 
before. 
@Eurav Yes, was thinking same 
But i guess it was well thought through, since you just will write down stuff, if you are not entirely okay with the way the features actually presenting themself.
If you think the way is okay how some things are developed, you don't need to write anything. And you still have 2 ratings to difference between "Yeah, exactly how i wanted it" (aka Great) or "it's okay, lets see how it gets developed" (aka Good).
Average does not mean bad.
Mostly it just means, it is common.
To get a good or great rate it needs to be already good as it is.
But i don't think we can expect this rating in Alpha entirely.
I wrote at which circumstance i will give a good or great rate 
@Archintyeron said in February 2020 Playtest Survey:
This survey needs a field for general feedback.
For general feedback you have the Forum.
I want also to opine on parcel availability. That was pretty bad. Wasted many hours just hunting for a place to build. Without any other way to store more items and craft some more advanced stuff, this was too much a waste of testing time. Hope the focus for the next alpha includes building availability.
There will be, take a look to the latest february 2020 playtest review.
Phewwww, i needed to fill it twice, since i wasn't login.
Would be nice to see later a summary of the feeback you got.
Not the general rating, more the written feedback summary would have my interest
@Shadowkhan as i said, you expected much things.
But to say, i had much fun at this some days of testing.
I built my 8th house completely, honestly i do not know how much it was, but i will built several more, to find all bugs housing related. Yes i had fun to find bugs and report them.
I watched the lifestream of @Oxfurd and meet up with his group, to fight together and find bugs and glitches and weird handlings. I also had fun to watch them, when they tried PVP. While i watched this i wrote my summary to help the Devs to get all the errors (aka bugs) out of the features.
We are in the Alpha for getting exactly what we get. The Prototypes of the core features to find their problems.
A Prototype don‘t need to be filled with much stuff, just exactly that much, that you are able to test it.
Per example the Crafting System, with different possibilities, different materials and you get a better Armor.
we don‘t need tousands of possibilities, that just would make the testing more confusing.
Once all corefeatures working as expected, then they will add content.
Content is a topic for the Beta.
But we will be for sure till end of the year in Alpha.
If you don‘t feel worth to play now, take a look to the game when it is going to the Beta, because then all of your requested stuff will be inside.
@Shadowkhan
An Alpha test is for testing each corefeature, one after another.
With time you will get more and more features in it, if the others you tested already worked.
At the start of the Alpha, we had rarely bears, deers, wolfs, foxes and rabbits. And just a handful skills.
Hey, but we could build houses and pick up some plants, where the most had no use.
Just to say, the Alpha is made to test the corefeatures.
Even if they come supposedly random or get taken away later again, if they don't work.
We have so many things that will come in later tests.
Next test we will get first NPC Towns as Starter Towns and the plots you will not be able to just to take, they will cost something.
Also first Guild Features will be in the test. And new Monsters.
Also upcoming in later tests are own towns, trading, alignment system, following a full PVP system, biome conditions (hot, cold), all 3 Races and its Planets... and more and more.
Fractured is a true Alpha and not an Early Access.
@Razvan horizontal means, that your naked veteran character with starter skillset will not be better than a new one.
That means, you don‘t raise level, so you will stay equal.
But obvisiously, you will be better than a new one, since you have way more knowledge. Even you will give the new one same equip as you wear, you will have a better skillset and probably can win a fight, if you chose your right skills.
Maybe a small picture.
Imagine you wear your luck outfit and have just gathering skill (hope they will come) in your actual set, because you want to find the rarest flowers. A new one comes with his hammer and will beat you with his 3 starter skills, since you probably don‘t have any fighter skill in your actual set.
Horizontal progression simple means, all depends on your choice, not on a themepark preset that you just can alter limited.
@Razvan uhm... same we do with killing creatures to unlock skills, why we should not have it with crafting too.
Obvisiously, it should be a skill you have to do in your skill list like the other ones too.
@Shadowkhan said in February 2020 Playtest Review:
@Kralith Nope. I was on several alpha tests in different games. And I saw a main concept of game (idea) but here I see just empty page. If It's enough for you and you ready pay for it - Good luck.
Did you ever read the Design Journals?
I did... and yes, i was ready to support the game at kickstarter. That was the time we not even had something to step in, game wise. I don't wish myself good luck, i wish it to the developers, to be able to stand all things that hit and get their vision of the game to a real working one.
I do not know which Alphas you played and with which game you compare it.
In my opinion, they do every test a step more to get the features in they promised.
I do not get, what they do wrong in your opinion, i see them totally on the way of their design concept.
And i know, we will get way more living world, once we get town features and all areas, continents and Planets are made by the graphic team.
