Since i can be governor of a town, i will create a Town in Release, it will be the Town of New Order. The name Atrium we probably keep for that.
In the Test Phases i want to test the whole concept of it. (As long it is implemented to do so)

In Fall-Alpha 2021 "Atrium" returns to its original place (first town test).

Spring Alpha Town will be Valhalla Atrium
Special thanks to the Gaming Communities of Crownless Order (international) and Phoenix (german)
For joining the town, there is no password requirement anymore.

Fall Alpha Town will be "Atrium Harbour".

How big will be the town at the end?

I am aiming a big town spot to settle in.
Everyone is welcome to ask for an citizen place in town.

What is „New Order“?

The sense of New Order is chaotic!
The System of Chaos Theory is the base of it.
There is just one rule!
If you do something, it will have consequences!
Decide by yourself for best sake, but always be prepared about it‘s results!

Which path we follow is up to you! But be careful, the next to you may counter YOUR opinion!

Join the Neolution!

For release i‘m not decided yet, if it will be a pure guild town.
I decide way later about it.

I will choose wisely while Alpha and Beta, who can join the guild "New Order".
In this case i'm strict, people need to fit into that society, if they want to join.

I wonder about some people who go upset, because they stepped into an free Alpha access, that unfortunately had to stop because of serious server problems.
Thats why they made the Stresstest.
People have to expect that such things can happen.

It is a very bad attitude to be rude in this case.
@Arheyn and @tomelectric maybe it is better you calm down a bit and think about what it means to be in an Alpha Phase of a Game.

Dynamight did the right decision to pause the free test, because the server was going crazy and much things did not worked for this reason.

They also want to repeat the test as soon as possible.
That means, there is absolutely no cause to rant.

Thanks all gods, that the majority of the community is patient and wishes the Dynamights much luck to solve the problem.
We are looking forward to the next test.

Since the Packing Station Storage is quite big and the Wagon can hold up to 30 items, it is at the moment a real pain to move sacks from station to the wagon.

You need 5 clicks at the moment for picking up each sack and droping it to the wagon.

I suggest to make the Station Storage clickable like the Storage in the Carpenter Shop.
Storage Click Area like this:

Just to say, my Curve of Excitement is still raising
So most things i said for A2-1 is still a thing.

For the actual test i want to add some things i was encounting the few days we could play.

Some issues at Building:

• Sleep position at Fire place. You need to position yourself or use Cooking first to go to a position that is valid for resting. Chosing Resting first don't trigger a path to the Fireplace. But i noticed, the Fireplace got the right collision control now. Well done guys.

• I got no move option on structures in houses. Some even just with a destroy option (Simple Bed, Bench).
  Same happened on one Chest -> see next point:

• A Leather Chest got not accessible (not clickable) when built outside. A relog did not help, but a day later, after login it is at least destroyable.
  Maybe because it is not supposed to be builded outside?
  After todays Patch i got accessibility, but no move option.

• In this phase we just had 3 Spawnpoints and the housing spots was fast taken and much people had to run very far away to get a free spot.
  I think that was a bit annoying for some people, since they need a plot to test all the nice stuff, like enchanting.
  Spawnpoints of new player would be surely helpful to be dynamically, based on the still taken spots.
  But Prometheus already said, they will change that system a bit next test. I am curious how it will work, if there is no need to get fast an own house, because you will have a public Startertown to use.

• If you want to build your structure in your favourite place, you just got 3 view of them. There is one rotation of a blueprint missing.

Creature related problems and ideas

• For first we have some weird spawner behaviour. There are more creatures spawning as it is supposed to be. I got some spawner next to my house that had two animals instead of just one as it was at the first day. Someone could even reproduce the spawnbug.

• Loot Permissions are a new thing, compared to the last test in A2.1.1 and .2.
  Sometimes the permission for Loot and even the KP and Knowledge Unlock for them don't trigger, even you made definetivly damage to the Creature.
  Don't know if it is the test for grouping up feature and intended, but it feels right now a bit random if you get KP or not. It does not matter if you got the first hit, it still can be you are not valid for that kill.

• Casting line of sight is a big thing for the fights. You can't get an Attack Symbol to make skills valid to perform them.
  If you have people in front, you technically can't see the target, so it is kind of realistic. But it will be frustrating, since you will not be able to tell your group not to stay in front of the Creature, so that all are able to click it.

• There is a need for a detailled Aggro System. For now you can easily reset Creatures, what makes fighting abusing possible, because animals not even regenerate that much, but you can shoot them, go out of range, follow them, when they run back and rince repeat.
  Also fights in Groups are also easy this way, since you can't take over Aggro, the one who have it just can kite them the whole time, as long you are not strong enough to tank them.
  I would like to see in future Aggro Management. If i overheal, i get Aggro, if i get out the hot Boom-Skills as a firemage, i get the aggro, or if i am a good tank, i can attract all these creatures to leave my supporter alone.

Some QoL related things

• Chat Auto Scrolling is very annoying, if the chat scrolls out fast and you try to read something somebody answered to you or had a question. Please insert a function, where you can deactivate the Autoscroll and add instead a "Show newest/to Bottom" Button.

• For finding someones Claim, it would be nice to see the Claim Owner.

• For now we have to drag&drop all items between the different inventories (Character Inventory, Chests, Crafting Stations, Loot), it would be nice to have later on a Shift Click for moving Items between inventories.

• Also stack dividing would be nice, to be able just to take a part of a material. I saw some games, where you took a stack to your mouse and place with each right click a single piece of the stack to the new inventory space. I would like to see this kind of stack dividing here.

• Walls hide some of their parts, when you are inside, to be able to see all structures in a house. But the walls are still there and the mouse position don't perform any action for things thats behind. Would be nice if the client interpret a hidden house wall as non existent for the mouse check, so that structures behind become clickable. Since we can't turn the camera, it is sometimes hard to get them.

• There we come to an old question about changing camera view. I know, you said, it will not be possible. But all your structures are 3D, so i would be glad if you probably will think about to implement camera turning on 4 positions like 90° each turn.
  That would make it way better for fighting behind big structures and also solve the problem with targetting Enemies.

• Arcanist have no shoes till first Leather is made. Should have some simple cloth/wooden shoes for the Starter Outfit. Give us shoes from start!

• The things that are pointed out by Einhar are quite interesting and i had them on my list too. Its mostly about Repairing, Variety and a Dev Timeline. Answered there my concerns to this topics.

• There is just one missing sound left. Hitting a Stone Boulder with a Hammer does not make a sound.

Some things i love

• Rapids at River! Just it, when i saw it first time!
• The graphical update made the area looking more plastic, more contrast, more living. Not sure how to describe, but i like it
• Sound Implementation already gets me every time. Please never change this sound that comes from the side where the sounds happens. I like that very much.
• I was stepping in a bit into Enchanting and i really like this kind of crafting. You are able to combine and also to satisfy your collectors heart. It gives much divertisity to the Crafting.
• Also at this "just using different materials on same receipe" for a craft to make better Equipment. Just love this. We don't need tousands of receipes, we just need knowledge on which materials we can do specific kind of weapon/clothes. I know how to make a shoe, but i can make a better shoe with other materials that i have to discover first. Just sugar, keep this crafting system, thats a good one.

Some things i wish to see
I saw the Knowledge System for Skills and Creatures.
I would like to see Knowlegde and unlocking Receipes for the other stuff we discover, like cooking receipes for Plants. Or Maybe for the Housing stuff too.
Like collecting much Potatoes to learn how to make Potato Chips.
Are there plans for to have this kind of Knowledge too?

Surely i wish much more things, but before coming out for my personal wishes, i really want to see, how you get your idea of the game to a real working one.
So my wishes will be small, as long i see you are on the line on your great vision.
crosses always my fingers for you to be able to let your vision comes true!
You are on a very good way.
We got a very nice Alpha and it makes hungry for more

Willkommen bei Fractured!

Eure ersten Schritte habt ihr sicherlich schon dadurch getan, dass ihr hier gelandet seid.
Vielleicht wurdet ihr durch einen Freund aufmerksam oder durch eine Erwähnung irgendwo im weltweiten Getummel an Links.
Auf jeden Fall hat euch Fractured irgendwie interessiert.
Uns auch!

Sicherlich habt ihr viele Fragen und sicherlich brennt es euch auf der Seele, die vielen Dinge, die euch durch den Kopf schwirren, beantwortet zu bekommen.
Aber haltet kurz inne, schaut euch in Ruhe um, was es alles schon gibt.

Da wären zunächst einmal die generellen News, welche auch die einzelnen Spotlights enthalten. Informationen ganz von offizieller Seite.
Diese beinhalten themenbezogen einige Informationen über das Konzept von Dynamight.

Schon fertige deutsche Übersetzungen findet ihr in dieser Übersicht.

Außerdem ist es wirklich wichtig, auch einen kurzen Blick in die offiziellen FAQs zu werfen, entweder auf der FAQ-Seite oder im neuen Forumbeitrag.
Und hier brandneu die FAQs übersetzt ins Deutsche!

Nachdem ihr also so eure ersten Fragen direkt beantwortet bekommen habt, sind sicherlich immer noch tausende offen. Das ist eurer Schritt hier im Forum zu fragen oder eurer Ideen loszuwerden, oder aber auch nur, um uns Hallo zu sagen.
Denkt immer daran, die Foren-Regeln einzuhalten, es ist nicht nur zu unser Vorteil, sondern du gewinnst genauso dabei.

Es werden immer neue Fragen aufkommen und neue Dinge enthüllt werden.
Folgend werde ich versuchen, eine Liste an neuen Dingen aktuell zu halten, ohne die Übersichtlichkeit zu sehr durcheinander zu bringen.
Manche Dinge würde ich gerne für diejenigen unter euch, die sich mit dem Englischen schwer tun, übersetzen, aber es ist sehr viel und sicher finden sich neben mir und @Lohen noch weitere Mitstreiter.

Für das Erste müssen all die englischen Dinge herhalten:

• Alles was wir über Fractured schon wissen - Eine Compilation zusammengetragen von @Vengu
• Die Zusammenfassung des ersten Q&A (Fragen&Antworten) Streams ebenso von Vengu
• Die Linksammlung von Prometheus selbst, die euch zu allen wichtigen Stellen führt

Daher folgen nun eine Menge Platzhalter, um eventuelle neue Dinge immer wieder nachpflegen zu können.

Tja, bleibt nur eines zu sagen: Lasst uns die Revolution gestalten!

That they are back from vacation - healthy and full of energy.

I am so happy to read about the success.
And indeed, it was a great gaming experience and i was surprised how smooth all was running.
Well not surprised, more satisfied

Well done. I am so curious about the next tests.

Send you some for next weeks to get relaxed into the next phase.

I really like it to answer questions in General Chat, but from test to test it is getting harder to follow the chat or even able to read questions that are scrolled out.
Especially at the first day of an open test and also actual, where some people think they need to spam the chat with self-admirations and harrassment to other players.

If you try to read a question, thats scolled out, you can scroll the chat to find it, but every time someone is typing again, the chat scrolls automatically back to the last message. Sometimes it is very very annoying to scroll again and again, just to be able to read the full question (or answer).

Please add a possibility to turn off the automatical scrolling.

We will also need a possibility to mute players.
Also yesterday i experienced, when i asked a guy to write his PVP stuff in the Local chat, that i just got the answer like "No i don't do that, just mute me." - Yeah, if we just would be able to mute
Some player don't want to stop their trolling or even harrassing, i guess it is better for all of us, if we are not relied on Moderation to stop them, but can "stop" them at least for ourself.

I know it will not be a feature for now, but hopefully something we can get before the next Open Test.

@Logain said in Questions for roadmap for planet design:

Yes, from what I read, SpatialOS should be ECS based, which means one can fully reap the benefits of modular and abstract design paradigm. Or, in other words, '(...)make it work, make it right, make it fast(...)' [Kent Beck]. Get the core components done, then work on content, then work on balancing.

Yes i know, SpatialOS take much work from the devs, since you just can use stuff that is already designed. Just reference it with your own parameters.
But that you can't take for a part of "make it work", would be like if you say, hey, there is a computer, he can make pixels on a monitor, so we can go directly to the "make it right" part if you not even used that tool to draw somehow a picture to the monitor before.

Sorry for the wall of text.
2 hours for the survey

@Logain said in Fall Alpha 2021 Survey:

Would you be willing to share some key parts of the feedback afterwards (like the percentage of people thinking the game's ready for beta)?

That would be amazing.

@Specter said in Questions for roadmap for planet design:

"I can't talk about it! "

You don't need to be sad about that.
Everyone who is expecting anything else from you, should just leave you alone.
It is not your responsibility to make statements about the company to the public.

There is someone who can make Dynamights business stuff transparent, that is Prometheus and he will talk about, if he is thinking that it is important for us.

Till then, we just can go with the last statements from his side and Specters above, we don't need to be concerned about the finances, they got even enough to hire more people. Now they just have to deliver.

@Logain said in Questions for roadmap for planet design:

(...)here is one core mechanic that you just can test once all planets are implemented, thats the Travel mechanic between the Planets(...)

That's the most difficult to implement though

Fully agree, alone the balancing will be a pain in the a..

What CORE mechanic are we missing?

Alchemy, Herbalism, Cooking

• means the whole system about Food & Potions & other Consumables

Seasons & Temperature & Weather

• Biome Differences (hot/cold)
• Impact to farming (grow times/values) and expeditions (take a warm cape with you, when you go to the mountains)

Decay

• for what was the Carpenter NPC meant to be?

Interplanetary

• Of Course, all the stuff about interplanetary traveling. Means making portals.

In general are also the already implemented core features not entirely completed at all.
In my opinion the town system needs still work on it, including the siege system.
In PVP they are trying out things, but i am still missing a meaning for PVP Factions.
Two points that came directly in my mind.

As Doc said, i am quite sure, they already work on the assets of the other planets.
Sure, there need to be totally different skillsets for beastmen and demons, than we have now for humans. Also the houses and the environment need to have a totally different look.
That is much work, design wise.
But as Prometheus stated in many Q&As before, the hardest part to make are humans, since they have core elements of both planets. So the best choice was, to implement all the core of the system on this planet.
Once all core mechanics works well, you have just to adapt them to Tartaros and Arboreus. At the one you turn on full PVP possibilities, while you disable them almost entirely at the other.
There is one core mechanic that you just can test once all planets are implemented, thats the Travel mechanic between the Planets.

All in all, i am also very curious, how the whole game will work and look like.
But with my realistic i would not prefer to get any other planet till we don't have all core mechanics at the planet that we have now.
And there is several stuff open, that we could not test yet and many bugs, that have to get fixed.

Fences on my intown claim are placeable to the west but not to the north, because it says, that the blueprint can't be placed over Streets.
Both Streets are the predefined ones.

On Krabats Place i can't place it to the East (predefined Street) but i can place it to the North (Builded Street)

Some more Prestige Problems, related to the wrong count.

I was today raising Prestige with 2 Stockpiles, each gave 100 not 60 like i counted above for the 1900 in summary.

So i started to get rank 14:
2200 -> 2300 with a wood stockpile
2300 -> 2400 with another wood stockpile.

Then i removed 2 Stockpiles (wood + food) to get space, but stayed at 2400 Prestige.

I placed the Bank Blueprint and another Stockpile Blueprint to replace the removed Prestige.
But when the stockile was builded up, we got another 100 so now we are at 2500.
Bank should give 100 too, so we would be at 2600 then.
Even with 2 Buildings less than intended.

If i counted right we are at 22 public buildings now.
Sadly i don't see it in the Notice Board anymore, since something counted as Public Building and it showed now a count of 53. (maybe the walls?)

@munch it seems even just stepping out and in your claim fix it directly.
At least for me.

When i was moving around chests on my claim, the empty space became non walkable, as if the chest is still standing there.
If i go out of my Claim and in again, the place gets updated and i can walk over the empty space. Moving another piece on my claim left always the hitbox as long i am not leaving my claim again.
It is reproducable.

Chests as they was:

Unwalkable space after moving the chest:
