Any1 is welcome link will b permanent, I'm playing lost ark ru server if any1 wants help setting that up too

Lost Ark is a game what I did follow a several years ago, but it started to look like it will never be finished and/or it would never come to the west. BTW, are those russian servers all implemented with Russian language?

The servers are Russian im using a eng language pack and the game its self is free to play I have a nice stable vpn for 2$ a month and overall great gameplay no lag. bad translations, but they are being done by hand for the future so they will get better

most the english population are playing on the server beginning with the letter C

I like naruto and dbz aswell I grew up with them.
Favourite anime are

Monster.
Re:Zero.
Erased.
Stines Gate

I Personally love mini events and little mini games in mmos,

Small mob explosions and treasure goblins to different worlds (diablo)

Dance off and running races trap pitfall minigames (maple story 2)

A map split in to halfs you build a army of monsters from chopping logs then pvp the opposite side until one side wins ( legend of mir)

Random general knowledge quizes that level you up if you pick the right X or O ( true or false) - (maple story 2)

Fishing and catching the right spot to grab the fish with out it escaping (BDO)

These mini games added a lot to the game to stop it going stale for me anyway,

What events hourly, daily, weekly, yearly?
Would you like to see in game

@Jetah said in So that went well, huh?:

from what it seems like, DS jumped some bullet points and decided to offer a stress test hoping to get more funding for the game. (guess here nothing with proof).

normally in an alpha you increase the number of participants so that your hardware and software can be looked at as you increase the concurrent connections.
I believe it would have been great to allow some foundation members access for a limited time to increase the 'stress' on the systems.

i look forward to seeing what happened, how it's being looked into and how it'll be prevented in the future. GGG (path of exile) developers did the same thing with problems and it works great for the community. Chris has posted about problems within the code and Leagues where he says what went wrong, how it went wrong, how they plan to never have that happen again and the community loves it.

Not being funny but 300 people is not a lot a server should easily handle that, the stress test was the right thing to do as it found a massive issue with the server structure.

The fact ithis bug was found sooner rather the later is a good thing as it could need some core features of the code changing or anything

Ds imo made the right decision for development, and opening up the server to the public was simply a stress test as advertised

@Specter said in Playable Worlds:

@Ori0n We don't have a rule that prohibits members from discussing other games.

Lol iv spoke about baldurs gate directly in the on topic too comparing the things I like and would like to see in fractured

DS are chill guys.

The worst you will get is @Jetah demanding you use the search function before posting dupe threads lmao

@Gothix said in Psychometrics to establish natural fit:

If you see someone that's hurt and needs your help, but you know if you help and heal him, he will go around and kill more people because he is a killer, and you chose to help and heal him, enabling him to kill more in the process...

Are you good or bad?

Depends if you are protecting the balance , helping a bloodthirsty king defend his realm against a overly powerful group of zealot holy knights until they become too weak, then switching sides and overthrowing the king for a less hostile king

Could be a example of knowingly helping evil to stop one side become to powerful,

Power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately, sometimes balance is the best way to strive for good.

Then again in the healing a bad person scenario maybe you just wanna heal him to give him hope, only to follow him and chop his legs off just as he glimpses a town on the horizon, so you can watch him crawl 1 mile and make a song about a stumpy little friend

@Gothix said in So that went well, huh?:

I dont believe the problem is "server not being able to handle 300 people"...

Its unity, and its used for other prodicts as well and it can certainly handle many users.

Problem was something else, some investigation is neededbut it will certainly be found and fixed.

Yeah I agree It could be anything causing the crash packet backlog because of more people whatever it's not server strength so to speak

daily post thats more like a monthly post

I think its important for the devs to not make the same mistakes as Albion,
I personally enjoyed the game up to a point.
However in my eyes and much of the public, the game is a failure
A few steam reviews

@dj35 I hope mods dont deal with in game politics even if its bad language, players should police these things imo

As long as its not DOXing or anything illegal.

I think guilds /civilization should be able to bounty drag a player in to jail.
Leaving them in a player driven time out if needed .
pk and steal the guys loot business or livelihood if they piss off enough people so on

as soon as devs start dealing with trolls instead of putting the tools in the players hands to fix the problems, it can snowball, and snowflake the server (never a good thing in a PVX game) because player generated hate towards each other creates great wars and Intense rivals especially if players can punish each other withing the game mechanics

The thing that a lot of MMOrpgs I have played, seem to miss is the RPG, for me personally my favourite ever RPG, is Baldurs gate.

The thing that made that game great imo is, multiple choice interactions with NPCs, everytime I play I can make a different main character and play the game a slightly different way.

I hope fractured feels like a real life world and npcs, can love hate fear distrust, and interact with you differently depending on how you speak and behave in public.

I also hope quests have a similar feeling, and can be done in multiple ways changing how the npcs react.

A World with good npcs makes mmos feel so much more alive.

Make our choices feel important

Anyone can pop a healing spell on their bar, and each spell is going to have 3 versions.

I'd be surprised if certain spells dont gain utility instead of damage type change, such as slows life steals burst in to dot

@Roccandil a gold seller sells in game currency for real life cash, the reason people dont like it is because it artificially scews the prices of items towards items being more expensive,

And more importantly people (players) feel like gold buyers have a massive advantage, although personally I dont rly care what people spend there money on, plus everyone has equal chance to buy from said sellers.

But if these sellers are botting and using stolen cards that's when it becomes a problem

@Jetah said in How will be decided which group takes a farming spot on Arboreus (animal planet)?:

stating that someone will do physical harm to your family isn't allowable under most TOS. the great companies will actually press charges or pass the threat over to the police and let them handle it.

What kind of games did you play? Psychopath XI, the road to insanity?

@Xzoviac said in How will be decided which group takes a farming spot on Arboreus (animal planet)?:

I think personal threats are fine too unless doxx related
People will say they are gonna kill each other so on, on the regular
Cant get a gm involved everytime a player chimps out because you stole their boss
If someone is going ott in the abuse block em and move on or use the in game systems to pk/punish them

So basically, those things would be not acceptable in real life ( at least where I live), but fine in a game?

Seriously? I haven't been in PvP related games, but if this is the "standard" now. Those kids need a nose brain job or get out more often.

I guess peoples words just dont bother me I'll block em if I cba with the spam.

Harassing a player with multiple alts ofc shld be upgraded to a gm.

My point isn't that it's ok to be that way, by fine I mean should not be delt with by gms

Because dealing with player arguments adds a massive work load.

If you choose not to block someone then the problem is at you end.

If you block them and they make alts to keep harassing you, then you can raise it to gms.

Just my opinion I dunno what the rules will be like

@Tuoni I think the biggest issue most can agree on is the inability to solo, not everyone wants to be in a big guild or has lots of friends who play the same game as them, and these kind of players need protection from mass gank squads,
making it so groups have only small numbers to join, or when huge groups of players group up crazy world bosses spawn that dont drop a lot and harass the gank squad

@asspirin said in Primitive weapons:

@Tero-Kaze But

Harvest 1000 Stones = +1 knowledge of Metallurgy opens up Iron Ore

Harvest 1000 Iron Ore = +1 knowledge of Metallurgy opens up Coal

2 points of Metallurgy opens up Steel

Imo there is difference between "i kill X bad guys --> I get ability X" and " I harvest X lvl 1 material so i can unlock X lvl 2 material". All abilities learnt from monsters (hopefully) will be on same power level (yes, some differ in power, but also cost more memory), I will not have to unlock one skill of one enemy to unlock skill of other enemy . This kind of grind based on prerequisite is boring and always have been (aka "make 1464131846 same daggers to unlock sword") and as its based on power levels, it´s imo not very horizontal.

I hope some of the more unique spells will be on bosses and a little difficult to get

For example acid dragon could turn a flame thrower attack in to a acid spray

@Znirf thanks for the reply very excited to see how it turns out

@asspirin said in Primitive weapons:

@Xzoviac Sure, but ability will keep its power, it will just be little different (but not stronger or overall beter - it might have lower cooldown, but lower damage as well or so). But it would sure be nice to have dude specialised in one element. Personally im more interested how CC skills will change.

A hard 1 second stun may turn in to a 3 second slow for example

A single target silence that stops all castable spells may turn in to a aoe deafening that could stop only 1 type of spell or only stops attack spells

Something along those lines

@Xzait said in Dont forget the RPG:

@Xzoviac I don't think you seem you understand what RPG means... All it means is that you play as a character in actuality... you play that characters role in a game, no matter how limited it is. It could be as extensive as levelling up to lvl 10m and equipping up to 20 different pieces of armour and weapons, and having minions and pets and be able to build your own town and city, or build a space station... or it could be something as simple as being a herb farmer, talking to only 3 different NPC's, levelling up your proficiency and understanding of the herbs and not being able to change any equipment. Just gathering herbs and selling them. it is still an RPG... you are playing the role of a herb gatherer... it just wouldn't be as interesting as the RPG where u have 10m levels to go through and 20 different pieces of gear to make choices. In almost all JRPG's you dont get any choice to do much of anything... they are completely linear.

I know what RPG means, I was just saying what I enjoyed in a particular RPG (the one I enjoyed the most), I thought it would start a good discussion.

The reason JRPgs are rpgs are not because your role playing as a hero, it's because you can customize parts of your game, normally your stats, sometimes a few dialog choices, who you have in your party, what items you equip, what moves you use, the RPG origins, are likely from dungeon and dragons table top,

IMO the thing that makes those kind of games great is the depth of customization, within the story.

not just stat allocation and spell choice.

@Razvan said in When will shop items become available ?:

Sorry to necro this thread, but I didn't want to start a new one.

Anyway, I have some questions about the cosmetic items.

• I read that they are bound to the account, so my guess is that dropping them on death or selling them it's impossible. Is that correct?
• Can I use the same cosmetic item on 2 characters from my account in the same time?
• There are some pets and decorations for sale right now. Will these be exclusive to early access, or they will remain in store when the game does live?

The shop stuff will change eventually I think you will eventually lose the chance to buy them.

You can use cosmetics on all chars and swap and change skins at will

They want to avoid pay to win so I think you wont be able to sell cosmetics but I dont know
