Next time a 13 year old in any game you play tells you they did your mum, because you killed them.
Are you gonna ring your mum and ask about your new stepdad?... no

i report them. i take it seriously.

You take what seriously?
.... As I thought a gm time waster.

The fact you would report that as abusive chat is exactly my point.

The gms are not the hurt feelings police.
I hope people who abuse the report features lose the privilege

@Savitr said in Funding:

I would agree it's why one of their best decisions was to remove the NDA on Fractured. It allows the conversations to occur. It allows Streams, and theory crafting, and frankly once they're here it's about proper community engagement. All things that seem to be heading in the right direction. I continue to be impressed with the premise and design. I look forward to the next phase of testing.

I think one of the best things about this company so far, is how much it engages us all in the discord and on the forums, they really show a passion towards the player base, and once more people see streams and become interested, and see what a good dev team they have, a lot of people will stick

I think one thing that would make the forums better is a Dev Tracker box that highlights questions from discord and replys from the forum, really drawing attention to the Teams passion, towards the players and the game

maybe some forum/in game player icon boarders would be cool as a cosmetic to go with the titles

@Xzoviac said in Opening inventory during fight ?:

just make them so you have to make them or buy them, cant spam them if you cant make them, and cant spam them if you cant afford them

Ok, I don't think this is a healthy way to handle consumables. They should be affordable to everyone.

Special consumables slots vs taking a spot in the skillbar; cooldown for each consumable vs a potion toxicity meter. It's all the same to me as long as they not spamable as in hack'n'slash games and everyone can afford them.

i like the idea of a toxicity meter, Dunno if DS will have much control over price , if its all player driven unless they do what BDO does and have a range of prices things can sell for and depending on the demand depends on the pricing of the item

@Xzoviac said in What albion did wrong- not a bash thread:

If a game is balanced it's designed for carebare cryers?

If the balance is forced by game mechanics then yeah.

(There should be no "balance" in a game, there should be only what players make of it, and if players play in the way so it becomes balanced, then fine, if players play differently, then they deserve to get whatever they got by their play style and their choices.)

If some player plays better then he deserves to be ahead of other player. If some group organizes better and puts in more effort, then they deserve to own another group that didn't do that.

If a group makes an effort to promote their political agenda and attracts more players to them, then they deserve to be able to do things with more players then another group that sounded "boring" and attracted lesser amount of players.

Any developer interference that annuls an effort of an individual or a group by giving (undeserved) power to another individual or group to "force the balance" would just make the game lame.

What do you not understand about that?

your point of view is not a fact mate

I understand perfectly your point, I just see the bigger picture

you need to put yourself in the average players shoes.

financial success largely depends on the size and fidelity of your audience.

if only a small group of players in a large group are having fun playing and everyone else is ganked every one else cant progress because this Strong Dedicated group is better then the average player/ most the server the average player will leave the game

some info im using as the basis of my comment

anyway the point is, it dosent matter that you have this weird opinion of how a sandbox is, and if its not this way its not a sandbox, what matters is that the game is good, and the gms should strive to make the game fun for the majority of the player base.

call it carebare crying whatever it dont matter ,
I want the game to succeed, and make the company lots of money (keep its players)
And to do that Fractured HAS to look after the player base
whether you like it or not

@Gothix said in This game will it be free to play someday?:

<Fluffy Care> recruiting. We will love you and hug you! If you are fluffy and if you care, whisper us with keyword "bear"!

This is gonna be the guilds theme song

@Canterbury I think maple story is moderated, I was agreeing with you lol

@Razvan said in Monster infrequent weapons?:

From what I understand, you don't get full drops from mobs and if you do it's very rare. However, each mob has a list of possible drops, among which, as @Gothix said, there's a bunch of materials. So, you need to kill a certain kind of mob to craft a specific weapon.

PS: if they want to implement full drops from mobs and keep the item generation crafting-only, they could make something similar to Albion's black market: players sell items to the a NPC (the black market) and when you kill a npc and are supposed to get a full drop you get one from black market's inventory (it is a bit more complex, but I explained the general idea).

I think humanoid monsters should drop weapons such as gnolls and goblins and bandits, but wolfs and other monsters who dont use weapons should not, maybe we could use monster teeth as arrow heads and bones as spears or swords but we should need to craft them

@Althalus said in Summoner:

@Xzoviac said in Summoner:

@gabrinoel there is defenitly a necromancer class that summons skellys
And conjuring for items and objects like flying swords and things

Summoners and necromancers are NOT the same thing and have NEVER been the same thing in any game... Necromancer summons are usually restricted to corpses and reanimation while Summoners usually summon elemental or in some cases beasts... additionally conjuring flying swords MAY be considered part of the summon class but if it's only summoning inanimate objects then the class can't be considered a complete summoner class...

There are no classes in this game just groups of spells in schools so you wanna be a summoner you may have to grab spells from different schools such as necromancy and conjuring.

NOT sure who YOU are ARGUING with or if you are telling me this information in capitals because I have offended you?

Hopefully i have helped you understand how character builds work a little better

@Razvan said in Support/Bard Type Archetypes?:

@Jetah
... this

PS: It was obviously a joke.

Dam it, I just orderd a guitar off Ebay...

@Roccandil hopefully the devs will consider adding quick tips notes over the stats explaining there uses, eg strength primary stat for warfare, martial art abilitys and smithing
Constitution primary stat for warfare abilitys, and increases crafting produce
So on and so forth

@Jetah said in What will be the in-game gold sinks?:

@Savitr said in What will be the in-game gold sinks?:

Market deployment as well as ways to keep things accessible to newer players will be important for the longevity of the game. Coin sinks are important, but finding the balance is needed.

@Farlander
We know there's some sort of coin, or barter item exists because Governors of towns set a tax rate as described in Towns, Governors & Politics (one of the previous spotlights)

taxes can be raw resources tho. depending on the UI it could be anything; weapons, armor, food, water, etc. (i'm sure it'll be gold tho, it'll be boring.)

Citizen it's time to pay your tax...

Oh ok (hands gold over)

?????? Why are you giving me gold, hand me your underwear

@Gothix Atm stat builds I'm considering for human to be this (keeping the other base stats at 10)

Long range tougher assassin
Strength 18
Dexterity 18
Perception 18

Strength to have highest dmg , also gives max martial arts skills combined with the dexterity

Dexterity and perception give max assassin and archer skills

Using the martial arts skills to bring in that extra toughness

The warfare bard
Strength 18
Constitution 18
Charisma 18

This is the maxed out basic warrior but bard uses charisma stat, so I can nick some spells and be effective aoe music as the warrior jumps in buffing debuffing causing havoc

Maxed out mage
18Int
18perception/constitution
18charisma

Depending on how powerful Divination is, I'll max it out, but if not constitution will be my way forward, summoner necromancer healer, this mage can do it all (apart from divine possibly)

I like hp helps avoiding death when being ganked, but I get your point

@WillDragon said in Change Settings outside game:

i5 Intel CPU, NVidia GeForce GT 420M, 4 GB RAM

oh.. my.. I didn't see this when I wrote my reply earlier today.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M is a fast mid-range laptop graphics card presented in 2010.

mate, your laptop was made 10-7 years ago. it's time to upgrade. you're getting to a point where nothing recently released will run. it'll be great for browsing the web, maybe playing browser games.
even if your laptop could load the game, i doubt it could handle any combat beyond a few mobs on the screen.

including those a few years old.

10 years isn't 'a few', it's a decade. a 'few years' would be 5-7.

If 10 years ago you started putting 10 quid a month away you would have 1200 now wich would get you a ace laptop ... it's why I started a savings just for pc parts in the future, when star citizen comes out I'll buy a new rig lmao see how much I make :]

hopefully its a couple of hours early so we can all download and get in game at similar times

@Razvan said in Knowledge System Harvesting:

I had a character with 6CHA and one with 18CHA. I might be mistaken as I didn't really keep a count on item drop, but my impression was that the higher the luck, the more loot you get.

Back to the topic, other than the knowledge system, the talent tree is not implemented yet. That could also bring harvesting bonuses.

Intresting I'm starting to think CHA necromancer bard will be a beast at farming

@Gothix that was the mount i wanted

On top of that you can add luck bonus enchants and a rabbit's necklace.

So lucky you pull a sword from a flaming undead pidgeons ass
