(...)demons they will have weaker stats on human world(...)

Races can not permanently stay on a different planet in Fractured. You'd be restricted to humans for defending human settlements.

That said, I'd wait and see for the first few iterations of sieges, that's difficult to balance and I'm sure a lot is going to change during development. Especially when balancing 'online versus offline'.

I thought Beastmen can stay on Syndesia as long as they want to and only lose their homeplanet buffs

@GreatValdus said in Change to Syndesia, the true mix of PvE and PvP?:

@LonelyCookie actually a lot of PvPers are already saying that this system is preventing them from doing PvP during this alpha, and usually when every side is complaining about how things are going it means you're doing it good.

Good thing we have Tartaros where theres nothing to prevent them, right? To be completely honest, what current alpha PvPers/gankers think doesnt matter as much anyway, its not a planet meant for them in the first place, its for people like Kelthamon, me and similar minded players who enjoy PvP without ruining everyones day on every opportunity (thats what Tartaros is for). As for demons, it doesnt even change anything, demons would still full loot humans. All it would do is slightly change day-to-day human syndesian life.

If you remove looting system you just fully take away the actual risk component in the game, which i find fundamental for it to work.

My proposition wouldnt remove looting system, just make it an actual middle ground between Arboreus and Tartaros, PvPer still gets his adrenaline rush of ruining someone elses day, the killed only loses half of his stuff that killer chooses. Both fairly happy, noone unhappy. Not to mention demons, the main "bad guy" on Syndesia would still be able to full loot no problem.

Extra idea from Fractured discord:

Lootability based on red names in your vicinity. One bad guy => more loot open (not full). Loads of bad guys => very little to no loot available from the body. Very effective at stopping zergs.

(I still stand by the partial loot for Syndesia as described above, but this sounded like a good idea to include in it as well)

@GamerSeuss said in Change to Syndesia, the true mix of PvE and PvP?:

The idea of partial looting has some promise, but mayhaps instead of picking either Gear or Inventory +/- Cart/Wagon, how about they get the Cart/Wagon Inventory, and then get a display of what the character has and the looter can pick X items, be they equipment or inventory, with multiple looters being limited to just 1 Item each. This, plus all the gold on hand would be fair.
I agree, we don't want Syndesia to become Demon-world-Lite by any means, we want it to cater to those who like to PvP sometimes, and PvE sometimes, or like to PvE in a more PvP risky world.

Can work too. My main goal was to push the discussion for some partial loot change in Syndesia and move it away from the direction its been going (very Tartaros-Lite) to what it should be, a jack of all trades, middleground between both playstyles. We have the full loot option, we have the no PvP option, Syndesia has to be the partial loot option. Fractured prides itself in supporting both playstyles and people stuck inbetween, that inbetween isnt happening currently.

Since it kinda derailed into dealing with just criminals. Going partial loot in Syndesia isnt just about criminals. Its just a side effect.

Its about giving players a true middle ground between between Arboreus and Tartaros. Would it solve criminals? Nah, but it would certainly help with the victims (that are getting ignored all the time) not quitting, because surprise...theres loads of people standing between pure PvE and pure PvP and these people (me included) have no place in Fractured despite supposedly being for all playstyles because 3 planets.

As it stands, theres no planet for people "I dont mind PvP, but I dont seek for it". Syndesia is not a mix or middleground. Currently its a planet for pure PvPers that should really be demons but "I dont like how demons look", thats what I want to change, make Syndesia be its own planet.

Dont worry we still love you Prometheus.

...I bet it was @Kralith crashing it. Its always Kralith. No exception.

Idea of a bounty system is good. What isnt good is that ideas rarely work as intended. Gankers and PvP fanatics wont care, proven by the "will just use alt" and "zergs will just pay" arguments.

First: As others said, the low end of the bails should be lower, 2k for just flagging up is too much (kinda "presumption of innocence" principle). Top end of the bails should be drastically higher. "Hardcore criminals" and criminal zergs that thrive on ganking need to feel the damage.

Second: Issue of alts. We all know these will get abused. So do the following, tie the bail (not prison time) to the account. Already has one character in jail? Multiply the bail with each jailed character for all characters. Second jailed character? Double bail for both. Third jailed character? Triple jail for all three. As for jail time, only double/triple on the newly jailed ones (first character only a day, second 2 days, third 3days). If you want to abuse the alts and be a criminal on Syndesia, be prepared to pay for it, if not, go to Tartaros, obviously more suited for the desired playstyle.

If you want it to prevent some ganking, it needs to punish, not put you in a corner for 10minutes and take couple gold coins.

Third: I didnt want to bring it up here as it would derail the feedback/convo so heres a link: https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/13812/change-to-syndesia-the-true-mix-of-pve-and-pvp

@spoletta said in Removal of Open World PvP to Syndesia, Adding of Guild Warfare and Politics:

@Ostaff

There is a huge difference between a world where everything can be taken by strenght, and Syndesia where being assaulted by a red is the exception.

Sadly the problem with this is...

"world where everything can be taken by strenght" is the reality for Syndesia.
"Syndesia where being assaulted by a red is the exception" is just a theory, A GAME THEORY! (couldnt resist not to say it), that wont ever work.

@Rife said in Removal of Open World PvP to Syndesia, Adding of Guild Warfare and Politics:

Criminal system and open world pvp should be a big part of Syndesia.

Sprinkle players into the mix and you have poor reskin of Tartaros Why should we need another Tartaros?

@Trug Would you give us names of your guildies please? So we can pair up names with guilds and hopefully lessen the chaos of "who tf is that" on 31st.

@Dordolio How else am I supposed to clean my monitor and taste the game at the same time? Its called being efficient

Vyloženě z jedný hry přímo ne, ale víceméně všechny MMO co jsou/byli jakžtakž populární jsem zkoušel (většina tragédie). Největší naděje jsem dával do Chronicles of Elyria, ale to šlo bohužel pod hladinu jak Titanic a vzalo si to nějakých 350€ sebou Fractured mi připadá jako takový...izometrický a realističtější CoE (realističtější ve smyslu co vše chtějí mít ve hře, nejsou snílci). Prostě skeptický optimismus, tváří se zatím dobře (uvidím za pár dnů v alfě ) a může být super, ale dát do toho peníze je moc brzo (po CoE jsem se poučil)

Díky za přivítání.

(Personally i have access, but plenty of friends do not and they keep asking if theres a way to play in the alpha, which is why im trying this )

Im excited about the "planet focuses" on PvE/mix/PvP and how the teleportation between planets will play out.

@GamerSeuss Noticed you joined the city. Welcome

Welcome not-so-lurkery Lurker

One day/week delay is nothing serious Youre still a beacon of light in an industry thats doing several month delays now

From "planned release" stuff (that i know of): Guild content, despite not using mic, my interest in a game usually dies with lack of the "community feel". For last 10ish years, Ive usually been in some form of "officer/leader" position, be it actual officer/leader or just recruiter, so the whole community building thing is pretty much engraved in my MMO-brain (to a point where i sometimes enjoy building the community more than the game)

As for the for future...hmm...ocean stuff with bosses would be cool OR mass PvE content, something like New Worlds Invasions except less instance-y and more dynamic would be cool. Since Fractured loves debuffs and curses, if players on some part of the map fail to fight back the AI "invasion", that part of the map could get a debuff that at the same time would serve as a buff for other races, for example triple the staying time for Demons, expand the PvP area on Arborea or similar.

Would add interesting dynamic and it can fit all the planets, even Arborea as it would be PvE (unless you lose).

@GamerSeuss said in Valhalla (No password required):

@LonelyCookie My extremely small, more PvE guild, the DnDeviants are contemplating a new home for this test, and posting here to mark the thread. (there are only 3 of us, and one's in no-man's land for internet/cell service til tomorrow)

Hah, love the guild name Sure, youre welcome to make it your test-home if you decide for it.
