I'm glad they went for isometric as well!

Some very nice work there @Sunti !

Thanks a bunch for the insight @Sunti ! I'm looking forward to the design journal on the topic

@tulukaruk said in Female armour:

Isn't the blindfold a bigger issue?

You've got to ask the girl(s) that complain there, though I guess a blindfold can be set and removed way faster than a body armor. Who knows, a magic spell might require a blindfold, which is easily adjusted through dragging down a frontlet?

@vengu said in Female armour:

I am pretty certain that first pic is a Dryad type character, not a beastman.

I can not judge that, but it's a 'first perception' issue. If it's not a beastman though, why is it showcased as concept art under the bestman tab?

@vengu said in Female armour:

Also, that human is probably a NPC related to the human's justice system, judging by the scale and blindfold. I don't see what's wrong with cloth armor. Mages tend to wear cloth.

The cloth she's wearing is not the issue, the metal around her belly is. Either wear real metal/plate armor, or not at all. Just wearing it 'cosmetically' around the belly is stupid for any warrior to go into battle Again... a first perception issue.

@prometheus said in Female armour:

We'll cover that in the future for sure - actually, we're going to show it, and it will be actual armor, no "Asian MMO" stuff.

Thanks, much appreciated!

@prometheus said in Female armour:

That being said, where's the "bikini babe" exactly?

She checked out the three different races and found a completely nude female beast, a half nude female demon and a female human who covers her belly with 'armor' but disregards the rest.

Her exact words were:
'Universe - Beastment (naked lady with leaves added to shoulders), Demons (half naked lady with her breasts out)
Humans - lady in gauzy dress with classic armoured corset
sigh
Contrast Elyria art style ... women get real armour http://media.chroniclesofelyria.com/concepts/1c41ead94cca4eae95009e33090b518a.jpg'

@esher said in Female armour:

Somebody already ask for that, and they said they do their design write-ups with male model for more simplicity (...)

Yeah, thanks, I remembered that, but wanted to highlight the fact that it's tricky to market the game to a female audience like that.

Any chance that you'd include the idea of 'female armor' in one of your design write-ups?
I tried to advertise the game to somebody who shrugged, replied it's 'bikini babes' and never came back. I kind of hope that the 'very open' female 'armor' we saw in the concept art so far isn't meant to be armor and that women wear real armor in the game, but it is tricky to advertise that.

@casgadom said in Deutsche Gilden?:

Naja ich find eigentlich nicht das Problem, dass es zuwenig Informationen über Gilden gibt... (...) und da wart ich gerne drauf

Wieso, es gibt doch null Information über Gilden, was sie können, was sie nicht können... wie könnte mann denn da vernünftig planen?
Und eben, das war ja die Aussage, gerne drauf warten, aber eben noch keine 'aufmachen'

Es gibt ja noch nicht einmal Informationen zu Guilden und wie diese funktionieren. Da ist es für deren Gründung doch noch ein wenig früh, oder @Mata ?

@vengu said in Feature Spotlight #2 - Universe, Planets and Travels:

(...) you'll just run around with a big stack of consumables that you stock up on once in a while.

Only if we have a completely unrealistic, lame 'bag of unlimited holding', like in so many other a dime a dozen wanna-be MMORGPs.

@grimalkin said in MMO you've played the longest?:

Pretty old-school but Tibia (...)

Hah! Same! When did you play grimalkin?

@chrightt said in Feature Spotlight #2 - Universe, Planets and Travels:

(...)when you need to "feed" your character once every 20 minutes(...)

A day is roughly 2 RL hours. If they have boss battles taking more than 4 RL hours... then gosh, that's both going to be epic AND a bugger for many a people to attend. You should be easily capable of staying alive for 2+ days without food or water. So, that's hardly an issue.
Now I don't think they ever said you'd have to manually eat and drink, just that you have to ensure your character has access to both (your character could likely feed itself just fine, as long as what it needs is at hand).
The added benefit to the game is that you have to plan, like you would with a battle (e.g. don't go and be a fire-based mage trying to battle knee deep in flowing water, you now don't want to wear heavy plate armor on a rowing boat and you might want to get a bit of water stockpiled before you attempt to cross a desert). And if something occurs that spoils your plan, you are ~challenged~ with the task of dealing with the new situation.
I could lure you into a hot and dry area while you're trailing me because I dared to send an arrow at your friend, I could sneak at you and steal your food at night, while you're trying to walk around on the demon planet,... there's suddenly plenty more opportunity for strategic gameplay.

@chrightt said in Feature Spotlight #2 - Universe, Planets and Travels:

(...)I hope the survival mechanics are not too stressed on(...)

I seriously hope that they are 'stressed on'. I hate 'optional food', because survival is a massive part of any decent story. As such it can add a lot to a players experience.

YEEEES I'm waiting for the first presentation video go guys!

You're not alone there

@casgadom said in Warum interessiere ich mich für Fractured!:

Wieso eigentlich gerade die 3 Fraktionen? @Logain

Weil es für mich sehr schön die drei Arten von Spielern (kein PvP, volles PvP, manchmal PvP) wiederspiegelt. So hätte ich es auch designed.

@casgadom said in Warum interessiere ich mich für Fractured!:

(...)hätte ich sicher schon probiert oder in Erwägung gezogen und fallen gelassen(...)

Ich wette dagegen
Falls du mich irgendwann im Discord triffst können wir's ja bereden.

Zum eigentlichn Thread-Thema: Ich finde den 'situationsbezogenen Fertigkeiten-Auswahl-MOBA-Aspekt' bei Fractured extrem interessant, ebenso wie die drei unterschiedlichen Frakionen mit 'interplanetaren Reisen'.

@casgadom said in Warum interessiere ich mich für Fractured!:

Also für mich wärs einfach wieder mal echt wichtig, dass bei einem Spiel der Weg das Ziel ist... das Erleben, das ständige Drumherum und kein wirklicher "EndGame-Content" außer dem, den sich die Spieler schlussendlich (mitunter jeder für sich) aufbauen.

Wird das nicht trotz allem bei Fractured der Fall sein? Statt 'Level' sind es hier halt die Spells/Skills die man sammelt.
Für der Weg ist das Ziel hätte ich dir jetzt spontan andere Titel empfohlen (wobei ich nicht sicher bin das dies hier erlaubt ist).

@vengu said in Greetings from Spain.:

(...) an actual working MMO before the Kickstarter (...)

I know and I like that, though I think 'working' is going to be at a limited scope (else you'd not need a Kickstarter anymore) and something like group combat skills might not be fully implemented at such a state. I'm more like hoping to get more information on that regards during the Kickstarter, that'd already satisfy me

@jaquen said in Greetings from Spain.:

I hope that we will see in a gameplay in a near future to see how it works.

I'd love to see some of that during a kickstarter campaign as well!
