@Gunzemo said in Paths of Magic:

Can someone give me some ideas on how magic will be developed in this game?

This is something we're going to cover in a feature spotlight of its own, but I can drop some hints. There will be different schools of magic, tied to different regions of the world and to NPCs that populate player-made towns. The NPCs will be region-specific as well though. Bottom line, you'll have to explore the whole world, including the areas that are most hostile to your race, if you want to learn all the spells in the game. And then there are Ancestral and Divine spells, connected to the most remote locations and the Gods of Fractured... but I can't reveal more about those now, you'll have to wait for the spotlight

@Karuro said in Who wants:

how does Gorstak do all those points?

His account is "old", registered the day the project was made public, he has accumulated more daily points than you - it's just that, there is no "secret"

@Holya said in Who wants:

your only real option is to make a script to refer accounts to yourself, level each of those accounts in the same manner to 10.

That's also a very convenient way to get banned. We have already spotted several fake accounts - they're really easy to catch - and they've been "partially unlinked" from the referring account. By that I mean they can be used and can level up in The Foundation, but won't accrue Foundation Points to the referrer. Extreme cases like the use of scripts to generate tons of accounts could be punished in more extreme ways.

@Karuro @Thomas @Holya keep in mind that daily points seem so relevant now because half of the Foundation quests have yet to be implemented. Specifically, all the repeatable ones are missing, such as the daily post on forums and reading / sharing updates. Once those are in, daily points will be just a minor perk. I've said it already: The Foundation has been designed to promote engagement with the community, not spamming referral links.

Yeah, we think it works well for the time being. On a side note, @Zenatsu, please don't necro-thread

@Thomas said in Building your on Cities:

@Prometheus Sounds really good How big are the cities going to be?

We expect most will grow to small/medium sized and stop there because they will be controlled by a single guild. However, there are spots in the world where a city can grow much more than that. It will be up to the players really - if several large guilds can get together to form an alliance to manage a town, you'll be able to see real a metropolis

@neomurdoc said in Will have any type of faction system?:

Hello all, im very interested about this new game, a faction system will be good for this type of "grind".
The mass PvP in some maps is good for get fun

Hi neomurdoc! Fractured won't have a "conventional" faction system. However, the three races are in many ways factions already. Demon guilds will likely team up when it's time to invade other planets, Beastmen as well when it's time to protect Arboreus, and so on. Humans, well - you never know about them

@tulukaruk said in Why will the control be based on a mouse?:

How easy will it be to actively move in direction opposite or sideways to attack direction? With WASD + mouse it's easy and nice. With all mouse controlled I've played it's hard at best. Most mouse controlled games deal with it in a way that they dumb down combat so it's charging at enemies while firing skills. From what I've read about the game it's aspiring to be more then that. Or am I wrong?

Hi tulukaruk! I don't get your point about being hard to move in a direction opposite / sideways to the attack direction. When you click on a point on the ground (or hold down the mouse) to move, your character faces the direction of the movement. Since turning is almost instantaneous, you can easily repeat dodge-attack sequences. Actually, you'll be moving (dodging, retreating) all the time when you fight - going in like a bull against your target will generally be a very a bad idea!

@Zenatsu said in Scale of PvP:

So i know the game will have PvP but what is the planned scale? small groups? raids? massive battles?
And will our ability to build stuff effect said combat?

Just wondering what is the game's early direction.

Hi Zenatsu! Every scale is planned I'd say, but in different circumstances. Small fights will definitely take place all the time for resource nodes and other interesting spots in the world. Large scale fights will most likely happen when guilds of demons (or evil-aligned humans) launch mass assaults on other planets, raiding towns and resources - or when the goods guys counter-attack. Moreover, asteroids will surely be another stage for large-scale battles between guilds!

@ryota1382 said in Our journey begins today, with you:

does a gameplay exit ?

Hi Ryota, The Fractured project has started in January this year, so we're quite far from being able to produce a good looking "video trailer". However, we're going to drop screenshots all over the summer - video footages will come later in the year

@Thomas said in Building your on Cities:

How customizable is it going to be? It would be great if every city was unique

The layout of every city is definitely going to look unique, there is no pre-determined way you (and your guild) will have to follow to place buildings and roads!

@KorBaLin said in Gamelanguage?:

Hey, i Just wanna know in what languages U Plan to bring the Game when its Launcher?

This will depend on the demand from the various communities, so it's a decision that we'll take later on. That being said, we have already identified some high priority languages, such as Russian and Portuguese. Other languages we'll likely consider are Spanish, French, Polish, German and of course Italian (since we are an Italian company!)

@Holya said in July Feature Spotlight: Cosmology & Races - List your questions!:

Question 4: Will a high tier player's gear be valuable to him, and if so, why?
Question 5: Will there be any instances of monsters dropping completed gear?
Question 6: If I and my six friends spend 24 hours straight gathering resources, then 24 hours straight murdering everybody we can, is it safe to assume we'd have made more from the murders?
Question 7: What is this "build and govern?" Can I tax people? I wanna tax people.
Question 8: How much of a compromise on gameplay are you willing to make in order to keep high-ping players from being at a massive disadvantage?

@Karuro said in July Feature Spotlight: Cosmology & Races - List your questions!:

Will there be a hierarchy in the villages created by the players, such as a "mayor" and "ministers"? With the advantages of, for example, declaring war on another city or imposing duties on goods or esile someone? Will it be possible, for example, to win the possession of a city in a war between two guilds without destroy it?

These are all very interesting questions but fall out of the scope of this dev journal, which is focused on planets and races. There will be future spotlights focused on crafting, equipment, town building / management, etc

@Sr-Ornitorrinco said in Brazilian players:

Please, have support in Portuguese, I am very enthusiastic about this game and I intend to call all my friends too

There will be! Portuguese is one of our highest priorities! As soon as possible we'll translate the website as well

Hi everyone,

we're glad to announce you that we're going to release our first Feature Spotlight this month! It will be focused on the following game features:

• The solar system and its three planets (Syndesia, Arboreus, Tartaros) - including some notes about the lore;
• The three races inhabiting the system (Humans, Beastmen, Demons) and their societies;
• Travels between planets, orbits, and much more related to the cosmology of Fractured!

Obviously, we can't really add all the information to the spotlight, lest we create a thousand-lines wall of text. Therefore, we're going to release a video Q&A as well, in which I will reply in person to all your questions on the topics above.

Well then... Any doubt or curiosity? If so, wait no more: start posting all your questions here! Don't feel limited, ask us whatever comes to your mind - unless it's off-topic, that is - and enjoy it being replied to on video!

Thank you all!

@Tyrrh @Alta2215 @Fraq @Karuro fa davvero piacere vedere così tanto supporto da connazionali!

@Kellock93 said in Will you be able to play instruments ?:

I loved the Music system in LotR-Online where you could actually "play" music, so I ask in every MMO-Community I join, will there be a feature like this or similar?

This is not on our list as of today, I'm afraid. We need to focus on the core features of the game - and there's already a ton of them That being said, never say never!

@Gorstak said in Hello To All fellow gamers:

Greetings to all who know me from Linkrealms as Gorstak or Last Dark King from loong years of fun and nice pvp battles and sweet bitterness )

Welcome back Gorstak, nice to see you around here too!

@Karuro said in How many server will be there?:

Will the players play in different servers if they are from different countries? Or there will be only one server for all the player.

Our plan is to have only one world for all players, and SpatialOS as a platform allows us to do that easily. However, we're aware there might latency issues for players outside of the EU/NA cluster, so if the game picks a lot of traction in other areas of the world and SpatialOS expands there as well, we'll consider adding a second or third world.
