@WolfOfRavens said in 5+ hours to respawn a resource node?!:
Is this a joke? What the hell?! How is anyone supposed to do anything when they can't even get these basic resources!
You would be amazed at how fast a city can be built or a house go up with the resource respawn set to 5 hours. I do admit that a random spawn of 1 or 2 stones per node would be nice, but it would be very bad for the economy, and make the game really boring if that happened to any other resource.
@LilCassiopeia When I dreamed of a home it was to be situated in the very location on which Dùath is founded. This fact has left me torn, as I am very much a loner and joining a city can be daunting for me. This location was my dream however, and it is ever my desire to be helpful if consideration for my wary nature is given. Many hands makes light work and I would love to be part of, to help grow, the city that is Dùath. Will you have me? Will you include me in your numbers so that I may contribute my skills, my time, and my labor, to make Dùath as glorious a city as it can possibly be?

I'm missing one too. It just never showed up as far as I can tell.
I love that we lose everything on death. In this game death actually means something. Please never take that away! Any game that makes death easy isn’t worth playing.
@LilCassiopeia You are most kind. For the first time in many years I look forward to interacting with others and my heart is glad that a city with such promise will rise in this place I hold most dear.
The open play test is why I am involved in the game. An old friend of mine told me about Fractured; then they told me about the open play test. I was bored and I hadn't hung out with my friend in years so I figured why not. So what if it is still in alpha and going to crash a ton and probably look terrible and, and, and...
It didn't take me long to buy the Adept pack and by the time the test was over I had upgraded to the Legend pack (the very most my poor pockets could squeeze out) Just how much do I like Fractured... Way back when I preordered Everquest 2 and have been a die hard fan ever since but Fractured, well, lets just say "EverWhat?" Coming from me that is the highest compliment Fractured can get.
I am honored to be part of this game during the testing phase.
I have the best of both worlds, as I am a member of a city and I have my home built out in the country. I started out with a home in town but grew board with the limited size. I collected all of my belongings and placed them in chests at a friends house, got rid of my city house and purchased one in the wilderness.
If you don't want to be a city member though you can always barter for things you can't make yourself. There is almost always someone around that is willing to make a reasonable trade for almost anything, so living in the wilderness shouldn't be to hard to accomplish.
@Kralith Hello and thanks for letting us set up residence in your city. My brother, GamerSeuss, is correct; I play warrior types and love to build and mine. In fact if I run out of city buildings to work on and my guildies and I have houses completed I may just pick a random house to work on. Yes, you may logoff with your house half built and log on to see it completed (but don’t count on it, lol).
I won a T-Shirt, Happy Dance!!!
Congrats to everyone; it was fun!

. but still an utterly pointless farce that adds nothing to a game except anti-fun.
In your opinion. I love the way they are handling death. If you pay attention it is very hard to die to begin with. If you sleep in a city near where you are adventuring there aren't any nightmarishly long walks to get your corpse. The excitement that I get from the chance at dying and losing what I am carrying is fantastic. I have played games with the only penalty you have is "oh dear a tiny experience debt and I have to run back to where I was fighting" soooo boring!!!
I jumped on board this game because it is what it is. With the number of options for play style, ease of survivability, and the fact that you can craft your own armor, asking for them to nullify the penalty for death is ludicrous.
@Xzait In several previous tests @Nekrage was gracious enough to allow our tiny guild the DnDeviants to be part of The Oran’Thul city despite the fact that we are a good guild. His entire guild was wonderful and I have a lot of respect for him, Harleyyelrah and the rest of the members of The Oran’Thul. If he says that he doesn't want to "be a dick about it" then I believe him.
If there is going to be a planned, friendly, type siege I hope that someone posts about it to that those of us not in the cities involved can chose a side and help out. Sounds like a blast!
After multiple attemps to "login" it still says login or signup. I have finally managed to click some mysterious combination of buttons that let me land on the forums. Oh hey this is where I wanted to be to begin with. Now I worry that if I click away or close my browser I will never get back in. Also, I see that OlivePit mentioned that the Foundation Ranking and Reward System is 'under construction' why is this. I don't understand the point of putting up the new website in this condition.
@Mirgannel12 They are definitely an evil guild; never mistake that. It is just that if Nekrage tells you something he means it. The Oran’Thul people were very helpful to me and mine in previous tests, however, the game has progressed to a point that good and evil must part ways. I would, at this point, not drive a wagon through their city as I would fully expect to be murdered, lol.
@Cellticlink How is that not a good sign? That is the best thing to ever happen to this game!
@insomnia I strictly play “warrior” characters and have found the gear to be perfectly adequate for game progression. I solo about 90% of the time and have no problem with the damage my “warrior” characters do with the weapons I start with and, in fact, have yet to actually die.
I suggest that the problem is not with the game but is instead with your play style. Perhaps if you rethink your tone and ask for suggestions instead of ranting you may find a way to enjoy this wonderful game.
@Kralith There is no join button 
Nevermind, the problem fixed itself. You have my support!
I had just started playing with a bow and was realy enjoying it so I will most likey pick up a bow again and see what changes there are.
@GreatValdus lol, that would be fine, but all of my characters? Sheesh! 
wait either
