Did you open it without an active internet connection? If so, it's possible it wasn't tracked. And nope, sorry, old newsletters can't be resent. Don't worry too much tho, you'll have a lot of ways to gain points in the future!

Got problems with the new nav section. Is it only in mobile ? Nearly invisible nav Buttons over banner

Could be a caching issue in your mobile browser. Can you send us a screenshot?

@tulukaruk said in Alpha 1 Map & Pledge Integration:

and a question - are mines like real world mines or more like dungeons?

Both - they have an outside area, and a dungeon-like area Although it's possible the early phases of Alpha 1 they'll have the outside area only.

As for the account guard, a good thing, but first key expired for me, when i got second at the green box was the text „Verify your Email“ and the code was on bottom of Mail just black of white text. I guess the formatting of it is not polished. @Prometheus, i can send a screenshot later about, but want to proof first if my mailprogram not just did mistake, need to investigate sourcecode of the mail.

It was a bug and now it's fixed, thanks for reporting it I've also raised the code expiration time from 10 to 15 minutes.

What will you do if the 100 people doesn't answer to the survey ?

We'll go ahead and get the store live anyway - they'll get in touch eventually

Hi everyone!

After a long hiatus in updates due to summer vacation and the total focus of the team on the production of Alpha 1, it’s time to get back on track!

A couple weeks ago, we’ve asked you to cast your preference on the topics to be prioritized in the upcoming feature spotlights. The Alpha 1 map was the clear winner there – so here it is!

Click here to read the full post

As always, let us know what you think of this update… and brace yourselves for the Store!

@logain said in Future Spotlights Content - Vote Your Favorite Topics!:

pledge integration and shop to come live in the spotlight as well

Sure thing

@grofire @AlcribLP @Smurfinator @Gofrit @TheRippyOne @Benseine @Esher the spotlight is quite close to completion, but it's gotten really late here in Italy. Might have to make it go live tomorrow

Looks like we have a winner - pottery crafting! So exciting! Spotlight's coming!

...ok ok, just kidding. Alpha 1 map be it! That journal is actually ready - going to go live tomorrow (or on Wednesday at worst), together with the Fractured Account Guard and a couple other website changes

@grofire said in Future Spotlights Content - Vote Your Favorite Topics!:

i do not understand, the alfa 1 map probably going to be changed after the pre alfa test, so how its number 1 ????? it should be little closer to the alfa 1 test... near December.

It's not. For Alpha 1, we're building one of the continents of Syndesia - the smallest one. Later on, we're going to release the others

Hi everyone!

We've been a little silent these last couple weeks, I know. First we had the office vacations, then the big effort of planning all the work for Alpha 1 - with a week of Gamescom in between... From full relax to full steam!

Now the time has come to prepare the list of upcoming Feature Spotlights as well. This time, however, we'd like to let you vote on what should be prioritized among a set of topics that fit with our production schedule!

You can express up to 3 preferences in this survey

A few more details on the different options:

• Alpha 1 world map: an overview of the 40 km2 map of Alpha 1, including towns and points of interest.
• Town conquests: sieges and open world battles.
• Housing and public structures: how to build a house, what public structures exist and what they do.
• Balancing for theorycrafting: lots of numbers and formulas on attributes and other combat mechanics.
• Overview on crafting: the general mechanics of crafting in Fractured, explained.
• Survival crafting in detail: primitive tools, weapons and armors. Where it all begins.
• Tailoring in detail: processing hides, leathers and fibers, and the resulting armors.
• Blacksmithing in detail: processing minerals, and the resulting weapons and armors.
• Pottery crafting in detail: so cool! Right? Right?

Cast your vote(s) and leave a post if there are other topics you're particularly interested in, or would like something specific to be covered in the proposed list.

Enjoy Fractured!

@gothix said in Limited/rare items?:

Thing is if people get legendary items, they will start asking devs for the ways to protect them so they can't be stolen / looted from them.
You can bet whatever you want on that.

"ahh gank squads are stealing my legendary items"
"this OP guild stole all legendary items in game and now they are too powerful, nerf them"
etc (insert million more complaints of similar type)

Indeed, "legendary" pieces of equipment don't work well in a game where items lose durability and eventually break, plus drop on death. Even if you're playing on Arboreus where being looted is impossible/extremely unlikely, you'd eventually lose your "legendary" item. Also, having such items would break our design pillar of different equipment being better/worse in different scenarios - not better/worse overall.

On the opposite, when it comes to cosmetics, trophies, etc, everything is possible, and we'll definitely have very rare / unique items. Asteroids, as someone mentioned, will be a very likely source of them. GM-hosted events will be as well.

@jetah said in Limited/rare items?:

I believe @Prometheus said it was a UI system so there are no physical items for cash shop items.

Correct

@kairosval said in Demon Redemption:

From my understanding, the only way to be a 'good' demon is to be an Angel. AFAIK demons can only be evil or neutral, we're locked out of choosing Good even if our Karma was high enough.
As for Angels, again I think I can remember @Prometheus saying in one of the chat Q&A streams that the quest to become an Angel is linked to Tyros, so Angels will probably be locked in to worshiping Tyros.
So I'd expect Angels on Tartaros to have the usual impact where they are immune to Babils' curse, but every Demon in the area gets notified that a goodie-two-shoes Angel has touched foot on Tartaros.
But I can't back anything here up with a reference, it's going from memory with a little bit of speculation. So grain of salt this stuff.

All correct! Aside from being forced to worship Tyros all the time. We're still deciding on that.

@rockarmy said in Demon Redemption:

@Cinnao I thought angels could choose who to worship, so they can become angels through their preferred good alignment god.

Making multiple quest lines for turning into an Angel would be way too much work. The fact you have to go through Tyros quests doesn't mean you're forced to worship Tyros after tho, as I've explained above

@therippyone said in Demon Redemption:

so, that's some idea about what these transformations will be like - you'll still look vaguely like "you" but with the demonic stuff stripped out and replaced with heavenly set - bright auras, feather/halos, ancient rune masks of power, etc. XD

That's how it goes in a nutshell, yes

@gothix said in Demon Redemption:

Question now is what happens when beast kin player drops below 0 and still above -2500?
He is still not abomination, however since he is not above 0 he can not chose good, so he is stuck on neutral I guess.

As a Beastman, if you have a criminal flag (murderer, thief) or are cut off a Good alignment for whatever reason, you're cut off Arboreus. You don't want to get to that point unless your aim is to become an Abomination.
