@maze said in Info on Changes to Guild Cities:

It still kinda confuses me.
I'm guessing if a guild takes over an city. the governor role falls to the guild leader then the guild leader can then pass off the governor to anyone else?
I think systems about this should be talked about a little more.

I also feel like towns should be a really interesting focus with advancements in tech, to show/ display wealth, Even't and culture and so on...

No, the opposite. The governor is only the guild leader if the guild leader is a governor. The way they have it now, even though a Governor may be a part of a guild, if that governor decides to leave the guild, they can take their entire city with them. Because, the city is not guild bound.

I find this a little concerning, when you consider the amount of drama that has been seen in MMO's since day 1 of MMO's.

We all better hope that the Governor's of our capital city stay happy and stable, and don't ditch a whole Guild on a whim or at the sniff of a better offer from a rival Guild...... Makes you think ?

This has very little to do with content or progress of the game.

Keyboard warriors are not a new thing ......WoW Barrens chat 16 years ago, I lost count of the things 10 year old's up were or were not going to do to my dead mother's corpse, because that mining node was "Theirs".

Every little child from 10 to 60 knows they are safe in their little world and can bash away at the keyboard till their fingers bleed, with no price to pay, such is life online now,
grow a thick skin and report to admin, in the hope they have the balls to ban idiots for being just that. "Idiots".

I'd say that from a developers viewpoint, lots has changed.

From a players viewpoint, Not a lot.

Lots of bugs and glitches still present from previous test, so I'm mildly concerned that the game is being developed from the big picture down, rather than the basic foundations up.

@Gothix said in The Potential City Problem.:

Remember if people go 20 to 1, they will also get only the 1/20th of the loot the guy was carrying. So they will not get very rich like that.

And wasting time like to hunt one person down, will just make you lag behind oteher players who are actually playing and progressing, because it will take long time to gather all the spells and new ranks of them. Enchants, gear etc. And you will not have gold for anything.

So yeah you can spend time to do 20 to 1, but eventually you will realize everyone is much more powerfull then you, cus they played, and you will end up being ganked yourself.

20 v 1 means, if that "1" has quality gear with high lvl enchants the 20 kill the 1 and gain the gear, do that 20 times ... surprise the whole gank team has quality gear with enchants.

Ganking as I have known it, is not always "random" but sometimes organised to serve a purpose, full loot PvP will promote ganking of solo's and small groups...... I'm in.

With the incoming new generation of GPU's about to land, I'm wondering if we are expecting a boost in the quality of graphics closer to release ?.

I must say I am very underwhelmed by the current look of the game overall, comparing it to the quality of the newer alternatives that will be fighting for our game time, New World, Ashes of creation, to name 2 are far better eye candy, even the now 10 year old World of Tanks look awesome in comparison.

Fractured just looks dead, the movement of vegetation, interaction with terrain and objects just seem lifeless, nothing I've seen so far is going to push even my current 1070ti.

Nice to see this turn in to a proper debate.

Bells and whistles no.
a little more variety and colour .. yes please.

@FibS said in Whats in the future graphically.:

It is of absolutely no benefit to anyone to discuss or critique the graphics of a game that is still in alpha, especially 3D. The assets in this stage of development are on a strictly functional basis.

Updating the graphics to a 1.0 standard will be one of the last priorities and will most likely go hand-in-hand with optimization.

It is of absolutely no benefit to anyone to tell people not to express their opinion.

Thank you for yours.

@Prometheus said in Whats in the future graphically.:

Hi @Stacy555, we believe the most problematic point with Fractured's graphics as of today are the biomes, which, as many players like @d3Sync pointed out, all look pretty similar.

This is due to an overall lack of unique "decorative" art assets for each biome (and the average quality of the existing ones), but also to the lack of unique lighting and post-processing. The latter is going to be improved before the next test, but the former will have to wait until we hire a dedicated environment artist.

Adding to the above, animations are also very poor, and we know that. We don't have a dedicated animator in the team - our art director has been taking care of that so far. You can consider all the current player character animations as placeholders - even the walking animations eheh.

All the above being said, you can't really compare Fractured graphics-wise to AA/AAA games like Ashes of Creation or New World from Amazon, whose owner earns in 3 minutes (literally) the total cost of the development of Fractured so far We are an 8-people indie studio, and while the team's hopefully going to grow and graphics are surely going to improve before full release, they will never compete with AAA titles - nor it's our interest for them to

Thank you for the full and clear answer @Prometheus, as I have said before some of my examples were just references really and not meant as realistic markers, good to hear that graphical improvements are on the list for future development, I'll wait and see what you guys come up with.

Keep up the great work.

@Zori As always I care very little if at all what you think or feel or ... in fact anything.

I'm not, it's called sarcasm.

Ahhh for that was the quotation marks.
Almost thought same like Gothix.
Don't do that with us

Awww how sweet you felt the need to reply ....

I've made a few post's since my purchase of an Alpha access package, most of which have been in the form of questions, hoping for answers that would change my negative opinions of certain aspects of the game, I have constantly been given what eventually turn out to be elongated and wordy versions of the same answer, "It's Alpha testing".

I still have the same low opinion of where the fun factor is, the ammount of repetition invoved in actual gameplay is grind, not fun.

I still feel the game is graphically lacklustre, terrain, objects and character look is very dated for a 2021/22 release, this quality will not change dramatically over the next year, but will become more diverse as new areas are exposed.

I am hoping to return in Beta and have to eat my words, I had high hopes for Fractured, but these are slowly diminishing as each Alpha is released.

@SirDiddle
There will be a decent amount for the first month, but after that anyone who has a mind to will have all the KP and skills available, some have done this very quickly during the Alpha tests, then once the meta builds have become common knowledge it will stagnate.

My biggest fear for release is the swtcheroo situation with multi builds, I like to pick a playstyle ie, Range, Melee, Caster, but having the option to just switch gear and skills, at the next available Inn, takes away the immersion and the love for a toon, which is an important part of any game from my perspective, this is why I don't ever do alts.

Long way to go ….. I'm sure this is on the long long list of why we are in Alpha.

I'll be back for Beta, It's my problem not Fractured.
