A stranger in a dark hood approaches you would you

1. Stab him in the face
2. Invite him to join you on a mighty quest
3. request he joins you in picking berrys and licking rocks

If you have a gaming-ready PC, you can lend your graphical power to fighting the COVID-19 outbreak. That's not a thing I ever thought I'd write, but it turns out 2020 is occasionally weird in good ways too.
Nvidia is putting out a call to PC gamers everywhere to download the Folding@home application and start putting their spare clock cycles toward advancing humanity's scientific knowledge of coronavirus. The program links computers into an international network that uses distributed processing power to chew through massive computing tasks - something that gaming-grade GPUs are quite good at, as it turns out. You can still turn the application off and reclaim your GPU's full power for playing games whenever you want.

I hope to God They dont listen to these kind of plans.

Real life politics has no place in fantasy games.

The fractured world has it's own Lore, and its not part of the messed up world views of a small percentage.

Women and men and beasts Male and female are what exist in this world

For example Just because you sexually identify as a rock, does not mean that the fractured world need to change its lore to suit your political ideology

@Zetskey said in Uninspired Confidence:

That's great and all but that's not really my issue. My issue is not "guess we don't get another stress test". It's "it really seems like they weren't even remotely ready to begin with" and got a bunch of sign ups under their belt that they can now use to gain investments or make claims with. Again, whether thats their intention or not I do not know for sure but this is how it seems to me.

They already have investors, and enough money to fund the game.

The test just failed , thats the point in tests, if all tests where 100% successful there would be no need for tests, the game is in alpha development atm, and this is the first ever time more then 30-40 people have been on the server at the same time.

they found a server killing bug, yeah its frustrating especially for them , I imagine they would have much rather it went smoothly .

but IMO this is the point of the test, and im glad its happening now and not during open beta stages

@RoyalX said in B2P vs F2P:

why do the dev took the b2p option and make the game low population when they can make the same amount of money or more by going f2p and make the game feel more alive ,i played the free alpha and i saw only 1 person all game ..

b2p is less likely to have bots, (because banned accounts have to be re-bought)
b2p is less likely 2 have toxic players, (because banned accounts have to be re-bought)
f2p needs to have a f2p cash shop meaning they will need way more cosmetics, and possibly even the dreaded p2w, to support the game
even f2p games tend to be b2p during development

I personally would rather have a low population of good honest players, then a huge population of self entitled f2players that want everything for free, and whine when someone who spending money and supporting the game is stronger then them.

f2p breeds toxicity and i personally hope DS can sustain a B2P model permanently

Id go for something from folklore According to the Japanese folklore, the Jorōgumo is a magic, 400 year old giant spider, that can change its appearance into that of a beautiful woman. She seduces young handsome men, wraps them up in her webs and eats them..

@PeachMcD Movies are a complete different medium for one, and your "facts" are all opinions.

Iv personally spent about £300 on fractured, and if the devs suddenly changed the feel of the game just to pander to 0.1% in some misguided attempt at making more money,
Then they will definitely lose me as a customer.

Not because I care if beastmen are called beastlings, but because I care that a tiny group of people can manipulate the game

I dont mind a new race suggestion that works with your world view and fits with the lore.
But changing the world just because you want it (and the devs actually listening)
Would make me lose faith in this company completely

@Razvan said in Is this game using these Unity Asset Store assets and why?:

@tulukaruk said in Is this game using these Unity Asset Store assets and why?:

The whole Unity is a ready "asset" In old days they would have to code everything from the ground. No point in reinventing the wheel.

No, Unity is a game engine. Writing your own renderer alone takes a lot of time and it won't look as pretty as an industry-standard engine, so it makes sense to use one. On the other hand, when it comes to assets (the ones that will be in the release), you want a homogenous graphics style, which is kind of hard to achieve by gluing together cheap assets from unity store.

They are making there own monsters and spells, apart from the UI , and some animal mobs such as rabbits and deer (hardly need a unique rabbit).

The UI could always be updated later if its necessary (take black desert for example)
I Personally think the ui looks fine atm and looks like it fits fractured

@Jetah said in MMORPG with MOBA movement is an issue?:

@RoxRocks

i'd believe there are more gamers younger than 50 than over 50. now the over 50 should have more money to spend.

you can try to convince them that wasd is the way to go, i've even posted that link or similar but they refuse. they want click to move. that's their stance, just like isometric view is.

Hes not asking for wasd, he is asking for toggle auto run toggle auto attack for less clicking to help with repetitive strain, carpal tunnel etc.

You seem completely distracted from the guys point.

Try reading peoples posts carefully @Jetah instead of just trying to argue

There is no reason why devs cant add toggle clicks it could just be a little tick box in the options.

@Jetah getting mad at people for using the forum for what its ment for is pretty weird, it's not like the first page is full of is this game like albion posts.

Makes us look unwelcoming, complaining at a guy when hes just asking a question, hes not trying to be controversial, and hes not being rude. I dont see a problem with OP personally

@PeachMcD said in how to help with Carona:

@Xzoviac THANK YOU!!!! Sharing widely

Been running it for 3 days now dunno if its helping a lot but I like to hope I'm making a tiny difference

@Tuoni why you gotta pick on his disabilitys

@dj35 said in How does this compares to other sandbox player driven mmos such as EVE, Albion, Runescape, etc?:

I do believe it's not a finished product at all compared to the other games but if were going strictly by ideas its

It's? You didn't finish your thought.

Kidnapped by ninjas mid post.

So i loved the crafting and building the house I know at lot of people dint like how slow it was, but i love grinding so i thought it was great.

I loved mass killing lores of wolfs, however in the end killing monsters felt mostly pointless

I killed each mob once mass killed mobs i could, built my house, made 5 different stat builds , and tried every spell combination.

I Think monsters not giving XP (i know the point of the game) made the killing feel hollow.
The monsters dont drop items so grinding has no point

my suggestion to improve the feel/reward of grinding mobs.

Have mobs give Knowledge Experience, so the more you kill a monster the more you level up the knowledge of said monster, could even have a mini skill bar for each monster that lets you skill up how much crit dmg loot drops, ability to track the monsters , ability to use the monsters body parts to create poisons healing potions whatever.

Sacrifice system that lets you sacrifice the mob to your chosen god, kill enough and you get to summon a spirit version as a pet, giving players something else to collect

Titles (Goblin Slayer)
Chicken kicker
Spiders bane

kill enough of said mob , and you can craft weapons specifically to hurt that mob more,
Go talk to Xzoviac the -Chicken kicker, he will make you a knife perfect for killing and skinning chickens, giving you more loot and chicken knowledge XP.

I Know this was alpha, and i dont know what the Knowledge system will be like to make combat feel like it has a point past getting resources which is fairly boring no one is gonna grind for hours and hours doing this.
If the game does not have some things to grind when the game is finished we will all run out of content very quickly- on the PVE side

Are there plans to make the Knowlage system effect the amount we can gather and craft as we learn how to do these tasks better?

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

It was meant to be done last week but preparation for Gamescom messed our plans up - we'll do it this week for sure though!

@Prometheus Thank you for the clarification.

In future please at least give a small mention about such things (like when you mention the new shop)

it would certainly avoid a lot of misguided anger, in particular as there is very little trust for games companies these days.

I trust these guys, they show a passion to its community and game, they personally answer questions and are open and honest.

If they make a mistake they hold there hands up and when there is issues with development they tell us.

They are not a faceless corporation that is gonna rip you off.

@Prometheus said in February 2020 Playtest Survey:

@Accol @Jetah @Xzoviac @tulukaruk @SlaserX @Razvan @BearRod

The answer refers to Knight/Immortal packs specifically - that is, packs that were never limited in number (unlike Governor and above, which were limited and were all taken, so they can't come back).

We included that option in the survey because in the last few months we received several messages from new users asking how they could get the Immortal pack. That pack was also a very important part of our monetization and it was foolish for us to remove it while still in Alpha in the first place.

What is it that bothers you the most here? Did you think we were considering re-introducing Governor and above, which is not the case, or do you have something against Knight and Immortal too - and if so, what exactly?

Personally I dont like the idea of bringing any kickstarter pledges back even if they where infinite during the kickstarter, I was always under the impression it was a limited time thing

On the other hand I think it's fine to sell parts of the bundles as addons such as permanent vip

It just devalues the original backers,

However I'll support what ever you guys choose to do and appreciate the direct response @Prometheus

@Jimbolini said in Uninspired Confidence:

I would say the original poster made a decent point regarding "perception". The old saying goes "You only get one chance to make a first impression."

The Discord and Forums have been busier than I can recall and that's a good thing, I hope these little setbacks don't slow the momentum.

And Welcome to all newer type forum peeps!

honestly i only see a stress test this early in development as a means to get money. otherwise it's never a good idea to offer such a thing so early.

So you dont think it was a good idear finding a massive game breaking bug early that could be wrapped in the systems and code and need a load of stuff changing?
