I guess it must me my fault.
I could easily jump into a plane at Frankfurt every day and fly short to Mailand to bring them coffee.

Willkommen @jonnydip !
Die Aspekte der Spielidee, die Dynamight mit Fractured uns an die Hand gibt, bietet in der Tat einige interessante Dinge, die versprechen, dass das Spielerlebnis mehr bietet, als nur das übliche Hochleveln, Grinden und Serverking sein.
Mich persönlich hat besonders die Idee gewonnen, jeden Spielertypen einzubeziehen. Das heißt, ich setze große Hoffnungen in die Kombination aus PVP, PVE, RP, Gruppen- und Einzelspielern. Ich bin übelst gespannt, wie Jacopo und sein Team das umsetzen wird, dass wirklich jeder auf seine Kosten kommt.
Bis wir aber in die Idee eintauchen können, vergeht noch ein wenig Zeit und wir werden wohl erst im Laufe des nächsten Jahres allmählich wissen, ob die Entwicklung es schafft, all die netten Ideen auch wirklich in die Tat umzusetzen.
@PeachMcD You will have with Artisan all things from smaller packs too.
The Founder gave "Access to Beta - Phase 1", that means you will have access from Beta 1 for sure
You can read the content of the Packs at Kickstarter
or just look to your History Page, there are listed all your rewards and accesslevels.
So, ich habe den Text da oben mal ein wenig editiert.
Außerdem habe ich das neueste Video von @AlcribLP verlinkt:
I think once we enter the Alpha1 we will get much more attention for the game and more people come in.
To reach the goals will be an easy going then, if we all announce the game and our streamer going to spread the word about it.
All content that is announced sounds amazing and i expect a very varied game.
Hallo @Syntac
bis zur Beta haben wir noch einen guten Marsch vor uns, demnächst wird es erst einmal die Alpha 2.2 geben.
Die Roadmap vom Sommer 2018 gibt dir eine ungefähre Timeline, wann die Tests geplant sind.
Derzeit haben wir schon ein wenig Verzögerung, die durch diverse Probleme letztes Jahr mit der Plattform, die die Entwickler nutzen, entstanden sind.
Solche Verzögerungen können immer wieder passieren, daher ist auch nicht wirklich genau abzusehen, wann wir denn in die Beta eintreten und wann dann das Release ist.
So rechne besser generell mit ein paar Monaten obendrauf
Was eine "Open Beta" angeht. Da haben wir hier im Forum auch schon diverse Male diskutiert.
Das Spiel ist als Buy to Play geplant und es gibt entsprechende Supporterpacks, die den Zugang zum Spiel seit der Alpha 1 ermöglichen.
Daher denke ich kaum, dass eine offizielle Open Beta geplant ist, die einfach jedem ermöglicht kostenfrei teilzunehmen.
Aber sehr wahrscheinlich wird es weitere Open Weekends geben, die das Studio für diverse Testszenarien nutzt, so wie das Stresstest Wochenende der Alpha2.1
Ich würde aber nicht generell damit rechnen, dass das passiert, das hängt ja auch davon ab, wie viele reguläre Tester es gibt.
Wenn dir das Spiel gefällt, kannst du ja jederzeit darüber nachdenken, das Studio mit einem der Founder Packs zu unterstützen.
Das für den Beta 2 Zugang kostet im Grunde nicht mehr, als du nachher für das Spiel im Release ausgeben musst, wahrscheinlich sogar weniger, da es um die 30 Euro geplant ist.
Ich würde empfehlen, einfach mal in die Streams reinzuschauen, die in der nächsten Testphase sicher wieder zahlreich gemacht werden, um dir selber einen Überblick zu verschaffen und die Entscheidung zur Unterstützung möglicher Weise einfacher machen.
@Purple this influencer business you probably misunderstood.
This program gives "influencers" the possibility to get a key to play and review the game, probably even temporary keys for giving out to their follower to be able to test the game too.
As more people will talk about, as better for the game and its business to get it running and leave it running for a long time.
A Studio, especially such a small one as Dynamight is, would be really stupid, if they would prewrite their influencers, what to tell about the game.
Watch such people like @Oxfurd - he is literally an influencer - some kind of
Would you say, he was talking at any point a prewritten script or was dishonest and lied about the game?
We live in 2020 and the way how people give attention is getting different the last years. Big single Advertising banner are not the way anymore.
Why you not create a real poll? This Forum has the feature for it
Also i think you assuming wrong, i think humans will be at at third place, since they are.... just humans.
Well, i am sure in Alpha 1 we will have 100% Humans
@Pwnstar
Beside the Governor Pack:
@Althalus said in First impression of Alpha1 -T1 with screen shots:
usually the world itself doesnt change too much between alpha and final release but hopefully there are some changes to make each biome/ area sufficiently unique...
Specter still said, it is not all implemented yet.
What you saw in the Kickstarter Video and other early footages are still made, but it is not in world generator implemented.
Thats more like concept art, as you would just draw a part of your picture.
Usually the Alpha of an game never reflect the final release.
We will see for sure much changes till 2021/22
Don't be worried about the state of the game, we got a quite good Alpha, many other games would not be able to show that much, some of them not even in Beta.
I saw the progression from first Pre-Alpha Patch back in November/December and i can tell you, their progress is very promising.
@Dev said in VIP / Shop and my random thoughts:
Ah guys. What do you want?
A fair game without Pay2Win Options!
You don’t want subscriptions? - fine
There will be a subscription, it is called VIP and gives you the benefit not to care about the Carpenter NPC
You don’t want a ridiculous high one time fee? - fine
You don’t want any kind of true benefit from a real money shop? - fine
You don’t want many paid addons? - fine
You don’t want cosmetics at a ridiculous price? - fine
The rest of the list i don't get, since it seems you didn't read all the informations we have about the game and the planned Shop Features.
There will be no Pay2Win, there will be just cosmetics (Clothes, Blueprints, Pets and such stuff).
I am sure, there will be no ridiculous price, i experienced Dynamight as a quite fair Studio that listen to their community.
So... who pays the developers and servers?
We will pay them for buying cosmetic stuff.
And believe me, we are more than you expect who are willing to pay just for cosmetics.
Now it’s time to remember, that fractured is an absolute niche game. It might grow out of it, but right now only a couple people in my circles are remotely interested at all. Most dislike the iso2D and all that farming/collecting/‘skilling’.
Yes Niche Game maybe, but not so Niche as you think.
Also it is NOT iso2d, it is Iso 3D.
It looks outdated on the first glance of an inexperienced person.
It does not look outdated. Or want you say games like PoE are outdated?
I see Fractured Graphics and it remembers me much on PoE or Diablo lookalike.
Also remember, we are still in a very very early state. Did you ever seen first footages of PoE, it was looking way more "ugly" than Fractured in his first days.
Looking at the currently biggest competitor (Albion) the VIP/Premium nets you quite some benefits, but its totally playable without it.
Fractured also will be totally playable without the VIP.
The Rest of your Ranting i don't want to comment, because it seems for me, you did not inform you completly about the future benefits.
You also asume other games was paid out of all packs, just Fractured was not. And thats not true at all.
Other games not even was that open with all their stuff in this early phase.
They wait often till Beta, before people are able to talk about. And till our Beta we will have around 2 years, much can happen in this 2 years of developing.
Let the guys do their work!
And there is one thing you are right, it is about us, if they will be able to do it, with our money.
What did you spend on it?
@keshanberk Can you show us the assets they using from built-in and cheap packs that you are referencing?
@Alexian surely it is fair to be skeptic, but if you point out things, just because other ganes failed, i think you should validate the facts that was throwing in.
@Xzoviac said in to the developers:
And has now disappeared, since hes been called out
Yes, thats something i wonder about too.
Why @keshanberk don't go with us into a conversation, after creating the topic?
It looks a bit like he just wanted to say something, but was never interested in a real conversation.
I can be suspicious about something, but if i am then i should hear the voices and substantiate my doubts.
@SilverLocust you are not alone.
I am almost a young grasshopper compared to you, but we have much "old" gamer here.
Some of us need to learn new things, some struggle with english (me per example while i try to listen and understand and to speak by myself), some of us to see the young people and how they have no problems to use all these new media - there are so many channel to communicate and all these young people use them as we used to walk to the TV to switch channels
Like your first steps to make records of your first steps in Fractured.
You just need to turn down a bit the ingame sound, your lovely voice is sometimes not that present.
@viziory well said.
And i mention additional: None of the backers and supporters complained, just the free testers who expected something for free and who are thinking to have the right to complain not to get the promised stuff.
I think it should be separated by each character.
If you start an Alt, you need to learn all stuff again, is in my opinion the best way to design a game, to hold the people on playing.
I also throw in the concerns, if all Characters share house and experiences, you will probably not able to play another race. Means, if you chose Beastmen you will not be able this way to make a Demon, since the Demon is bound on the Home of the Main Character.
I believe Prometheus still answered this somehwere, but not sure anymore.
But lets think you will be able to make a Beastmen and a Demon and both share Knowledge, you don't have any need for your Beastmen to go to Tartaros and bring yourself in danger, because your Demon Alt can discover all these Knowledge thats just available there.
That would not make any sense and would take off much of the gaming fun you could have, because you just can switch Alts and do it the easy way.
I don't believe, that Dynamight want to implement it this way.
@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.
