What's the point in being politically correct? Do we need speech codes now? Who cares if some idiot is offended?

Roll a Beastman. Become friends with the spiders.

It was about as constructive as saying,"get woke, go broke," is a scientific fact(although there are more and more evidence piling up each day in support of such theory).

It's a real theory. Just look at MAD magazine going literally broke today after two years of trying to satirize Trump.

I'm not trying to break the rules against politics here, I just wanted to add evidence to Deusex's point.

@Tuoni said in Gamer Demographics & Namings:

The biggest problem with your suggestion was that word man or men does not only mean a male. It is also synonym for words like person, human and human being. So word man also includes females. Beastman (as a word) can be compared straight for human in Fractured, in both case it is not about males, it is about persons. Moreover, etymology for Beast + Man is "an intelligent man-sized beast".

Exactly, in the same way that "mankind" doesn't mean only men. Or even just the capitalized "Man", which I believe is short for mankind anyway.

@Jairone said in Alpha 2:

However, companies are generally at cycle start 6-8 years out for many of the big ambitious projects.

And if you're Star Citizen it's more like that 8 or 9 year development!

I think this is an unnecessary complication.

@islesofurth said in Anti-Hack/Cheat/Bot:

Actually most games keep their security as secret as possible for obvious reasons.

Yes, but in my defense I've been hacking that game for 2 months and haven't been caught. I know it's against the rules because other people have been banned. But those people were caught via player reporting. The GM doesn't have time to watch everyone. I don't think ArcFall has any anti-cheat software.

The best marketing will be people recording themselves playing during the alphas and betas. Twitch is amazing for getting the word out.

@Pluto said in Where is the news of the next test phase...:

Do you really want them to no longer give us estimates because they can’t trust us to be adults about it?

I'd say the adult thing to do is hold them to their word. It's not like he's calling the devs names and having a tantrum about it.

@keshanberk said in to the developers:

There's also another MMO named Legends of Aria that looks (almost) exactly like your showcased images, but that project is failing to deliver their basic promises because Unity is a lackluster game engine.

There is some visual similarity from using the same assets, but the actual gameplay is different. Mechanics make the game, and Fractured has some great ideas here.

I don't follow your leap from SIMILAR GRAPHICS MUST LEAD TO BAD GAMEPLAY because this one Chinese game screwed it up.

@Aurellas said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

You'll notice that DS is keeping quiet about the situation.

Silence is proof! Twitter told me so.

Anyone buying the game before launch will add to the funding total, so we might reach it and get this feature.

I don't know what they are adding post launch.

I just joined, ya'll. I live in Portland, Oregon. How are you?

I'm here for the PvE

How successful has the pre-alpha test gone? Are the testers giving lots of good feedback? Are you guys happy with what you got?

I find it rather boring. You realize Warcraft only had fishing because Mark Kern's wife loves to fish in real life? It was for her.

@Gothix said in Why can't Angels stay on Arboreus?:

the play style will be a bit different.

That was my point to Eurav. I would think the difference between Beastman, Human and Angel for PvE would just be cosmetic look and racial bonuses. Forcing Angels and Humans to leave Arboreus after a few hours makes it easier for demons to hunt them down on Syndesia.

@Kralith said in Developer updates regarding game status?:

I also don't understand your

@Tuoni said in Developer updates regarding game status?:

That is not acceptable reason. When Alpha 1 is launch, what happens next? Then devs are too busy to maintain Alpha 1 and they need to start focus on Alpha 2. So with that logic devs can use that same reason everytime and they never have time for community and marketing.

I think thats the only valid reason, to work straight towards the next phase.

He's saying that excuse can be used every single time, so it's not a useful answer.

There's a daily post for points, if you want those.

@Meiki said in Funding:

@VyrVandalous Taking average income of an EU citizen is real blasphemy. If you really wanted to compare and to calculate it, you should have at least taken an average salary of an Italian developer, which is around 25k€ a year, I really wonder where you got that 38k€, as even in Germany it is only slightly above 37k€ so the average for EU lands is much, much lower.

Whether 25k or 37k, his point is still true. The devs are burning through money right now and we hope they can make it to release day.

@Jetah said in Becoming an angel:

in video games, it's a matter of perspective. 'evil' for one faction is 'good' for another, which can be 'neutral' for another.

It's the same in real life. Perspective is what changes.
