@Xeeter said in worth it?:

Gimme the deet's, should i pay or should i say nay? not a huge fan of alpha/beta/EA but this game looks intriguing.

i personally loved playing alpha 1 test 2. was really enettertaining. as everyone has said, it is up to you in the end if you think it is worth it orn not. keep yourself updated on planned feature updates, and if you feel something really sparkles in your eye, like say... having pet companions... then go for it... but if there isnt anythimg that really sticks out and says BUY ME!!... then dont.

Monster Hunter genre would like to speak to you. there are attribute changes with knowledge or gear so it wont be 'zero' increase.

I'm not sure you understood what I was saying... or I didn't understand you, either way. Monster Hunter isn't a good example of what I was talking about because you absolutely get stronger over time. That's the gameplay loop. Get better gear which makes you stronger, fight harder monsters, repeat. That's what keeps people coming back to it, same loop as an MMO.

So unless I misunderstood @Xzoviac, that's not what's happening here.

How many pieces of gear drop in MH genre? usually it's crafting materials and you craft said item. Granted I haven't played MHW but have played Dauntless, which is described as MHW lite. Dauntless has you create all gear, except the starting weapon. The game play loop is fight mob, get crafting mats, craft armor, fight mob, get mats, craft weapon.

Now to argue against that game play loop, Eve Online has Drone NPCs which only drop crafting materials (well at least when I last played) and none of the 'ratters' (those that hunt npc's around asteroid belts) wanted to go there.

their whole point is that the gear u hunt for materials for make better gear increasing your stats... and fractured is meant to be a static strength play, where you dont get stronger, even with gear, just more skilled at the game and thus do better as a result of skill instead of gear improvements.

@Gothix said in [Poll] City Reputation System:

Anything that doesnt feel grindy can be nice. It just needs to fit the town and who has political power in it. Politicians can be good and evil so things that you do to raise/lower rep in particular city may be different.

People should get informed about the city before starting doing things without care. Also a knowledge system may come into play here somehow.

ye, something simple but effectove is neccissary for this. if it gets too complex, it loses its allure. another thing i thought of as well to make people consider rep... if you trade with someone with a much lower rep than yours, your rep could drop... reasoning being that you are trading with shady people... when do you ever see a 10* trader doing business with someone in the stolen goods league? i would probably recommend no penalty for trading with people within 20 rep of your own rep... so people with capped rep at 100 can only safely trade with people of rep 80+

If i might suggest something completely out there from what everyone else has been going on about... the rep system doesnt have to be complex... it could be a scale of 1-100 and you start at 50 (nuetral). the higher your number, the better your rep.

rep gain could be simply visiting the town daily, helping maintain the town if you choose to, helping yo take down a player with a very low rep, or taking them out on your own.

ways to loose rep could be looting/stealing from the town, killing another player that doesnt already have a low rep or not visiting for an extended period of time... not visiting would drop it to a minimum of 50... maybe over time, if your rep is low, it could rise back to 50, but 1/4 of speed of dropping from being too high.

And the reward for having a good rep would be the amount of people you would be able to sell stuff to... i wouldnt want to try and trade someone goods of they had a rep lower than 35... would u?

Humans have access to steampunk technology.

https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/post/67385

So, how deluded are you?

well, that is rather disappointing. I guess it would make sense for the higher tier gear tho for humans.

humans don't stand a chance against demond and beast so they have tech that makes them equal to the other two.

ye, overall, humans arent very physically strong compared to most other species, both real and fictional. The only reason we have survived so long is our wit and ability to avoid being close up to threats and avoid damage all together... got a wild tiger? throw a net at it, knock it out with a tranquiliser and put it in a cage... cant hurt you then...

i wonder if the devs will implement something in game as like racial benefits... like humans being intelligent... and able to make traps that are effective against beastfolk... or charms that are effective against the demons. Or on the other hand, the ability to make better stuff for beastfolk to be like companions... or some kind of ritual thing to power up demon companions...

this is assuming that all 3 races can coexist to an extent and arent all brutally battling it out for territory dominance.

@PeachMcD said in Mount conundrum....:

I can't even imagine riding a gorilla, tbh. They are intelligent beings like dolphins. Unless it offered me a ride, I would never.

I'll probably keep my mount as a companion and just not ride her unless under duress. I'd imagine Wolflings will have decent stamina and speed on foot. Or I might come up with a backstory that would make her conveying me believable. I just wanted to raise this as a question cuz it's a funny mental image to see a wolf riding a wolf.

to be fair, some people treat their mounts as companions. Treat a mount well, and it will treat you well... Treat it poorly and it will run away as soon as it gets the chance. Horse riders are a great example. a lot of people i have met that ride their horses absolutely love them... feed them, water them, brush them, give them plwntly of room to run around and sometimes even play with them.

well, that is rather disappointing. I guess it would make sense for the higher tier gear tho for humans.

another thing thay could happen... if it is a player built town, the lord/govenor? of the town could hire NPC guards to protect it. And if someone with a really low rep tries to enter, they will either be attacked on sight or heavily fined, or taken to some kind of prison if they r knocked out?

i think with fractured aiming to be dynamic, this sort of feature would be neccissary. Something like killing a player from or close to the city for example could dramatically lower rep. Investing time to help clean the city up a little could increase it. simply barting with merchants could be another way to increase, and stealing items be another way to decrease rep.

unlike most MMO's, this one doesnt seem to be complete fantasy... looking more like a survival game like ARK. Cosmetics in games that look like this one would take away from the game for some players inatead of adding more to it. it would be immersion breaking for some players. especially if it isnt all based on a survival aspect and you can get pink neko costumes or flashy rainbow dresses

it's fantasy and steampunk-ish. i'd be ok with that.

my point is that there are players that wont be. just like other players have also said they dont want it in this thread. did you even read further than the last 3 or 4 comments?

then they're ignoring the whole human civilization using steampunk-ish styling.

we are talking about the game fractured on this forum thread. i dont know how deluded you must be to think anything in fractired is steampunk-ish... there is no power, and not even metal at this point, letalone glass or wiring..

@deusex2 that is something i can actually see the devs implementing. especially if one of the planets has an ice biome :3

@Farlander said in Alpha 2:

Well it's certainly not unusual for games to miss dates. The main thing is the game comes out with few bugs. The biggest source of downvotes on steam is games not running correctly at launch.

I would have to agree. Developers these days have gotten pretty lazy overall in terms of actually finishing a game properly before a full release. There are even cases where a game gets released, then a patch is put out a few months later that is almost half the size of the initial game...

games were rarely perfect back in the 90's, but they were usually more complete than games r these days. Sometimes even less buggier than the ones nowadays are, even after they have been patched a few times.
