Well written Feedback and good to see something from fresh eyes.
For myself i lose slowly to see this beginner problems, but this kind of feedback is super important.
As for the Bugs:
@Polaris said in Fractured Noob Feedback List 4/12/20:
β’ Chat: I encountered a bug or glitch with being unable to post in chat. While I had no issues reading what other players posted, the only way I could sometimes post was to click on the lock, select a chat channel, click on the lock again (to unlock it) and press enter. However this workaround was unreliable and only worked about 30% of the time.
There are some problems with the chat, i think with detailed informations about our experience, they will be able to make it working all the time.
The Lock Symbol i never investigated more
Thought always it is supposed to stick the Chat, but never played around with it.
For what exactly it is supposed to be @Prometheus?
@Polaris Are you able to write in the chat line, if it happens, but nothing appears?
We had such in the last phase with General Chat, but then you could not see others posts too.
β’ Unable to cast spells: I learned four spells and could not cast any of them. They also could not be added to the toolbar. The only spell I was able to cast was what came from the weapon (mage staff right click). This might be a failure on my part to understand or intuit how it is supposed to work. The tutorial could have helped but did not.
How you learned your Spells? You just unlocked them with Knowledge Points, or did you also saved them in a Preset?
If you don't have them in the Toolbar, then you can't cast them.
To get them to the toolbar, you have to rest on a fire, chose your Preset and Memorize it.
There is a second bar on your Actionbar, where you can chose the memorized abilities and drag them to your toolbar.
Skills are used with Keys QWERTDFG. But we will get in future the option to change Keybindings.
I am agreeing, Modifiying and Memorizing of Abilities/Skills should get explained in the Tutorial.
β’ Memorized presets could not be moved from the top of the 3rd row of hotbar. This requires keeping all three hotbars expanded and unused, which is a waste of HUD real estate.
This i do not entirely understand.
The 2 Memorized Skills Bars you can hide after you chosed your skills for your actionbar.
I was very frustrated by the time I logged off. Iβll go back in and put another 5-6 hours into alpha testing. If I find workarounds, resolutions or player errors, Iβll update this post.
Thats sad to hear.
Don't be frustrated.
I saw them eleminating so much Bugs since Pre, each feedback about non working features is very helpful, especially in an Alpha, because now is the time to make things working.
We can try to help you to understand how things work in Fratured, or how they are supposed to be, if you encounter a bug.
So keep trying
