Since Alpha 1, there have been several changes in the effect of the different attributes you can choose.

As it will most likely change again before going live, I only made a simple chart to give you an idea of how things affect your character at the moment.

How to read/translate this. Every attribute shows the changes with putting a certain amount of points into it (with the rest of the stats at 10).

Some attributes affect certain stat together.

*For example: Carry weight is affected by STR and CON.

If you have STR at 6 and CON at 6 the total weight you can carry is 62KG

Calculation: 70 KG (from STR at 6) minus the difference between CON 10 and 6 (8 KG) because the 70 from STR 6 is a combination of STR 6 and CON 10, which you have to correct.

If you have STR at 18 and CON at 18 the total weight you can carry is 146KG

Calculation: 130KG (from STR at 18) plus the difference between CON 18 and 10 (16 KG) because the 130 from STR 18 is a combination of STR 180 and CON 10, which you have to correct*

As we have to make a choice where to put our stat points directly at creating the character, I thought it would come in handy if more information was available.

I have made an overview of the effects in numbers (positive > 10 and negative < 10) and the modifiers which get affected

It's only a first rough version (obvious work in progress) as some things might change and Demons and Beastman are not available yet.

For those who have not read it yet, I would recommend reading the linked 2 news articles first for a basic outlining of the attributes and what their purpose is regarding skills.

Attributes / Attributes in relations to Fighting

Here is the Google Spreadsheet

Update: clarification
For example
If you have STR, DEX and CON all 3 at lvl 18, you will get the basic value of STR, DEX and CON (lvl 10) which is 1600. On top of that, you get 800 endurance (the difference between lvl 18 STR en lvl 10 STR)+ 240 from the difference between lvl 18 and lvlv 10 DEX + another 240 for the difference in CON. Makes a total of 2880.
Decreasing the lvl below 10 means you have to withdraw the value.

Not all stats seems to add up in an exact matter. This might be due to a cap or because numbers are rounded in the UI.

All the best for 2021 to all the people here and your loved ones.

Merry Christmas !!

This is based on my current knowledge of the game, so please correct me, or adjust more info if you can.

As far as I am aware, there are only 15 (corrected by @Roccandil 46 of max 47 silly me !) Governor Pledge packs in total. For 3 planets If we start with only 1 global Server. (If we start with an EU and NA server that would immediately double the possible town plots)

Even that would leave enough room for more towns to be established by Governors, not having a Governor pledge pack. You don't need a Governor pack to become a Governor of a town.

When the player base will grow, more servers will become available and so fort and so fort.

10 Governors in 1 Guild would be a waste IMHO, as you would also have to maintain 10 Towns then to have all the benefits. That would need a lot of players in your Guild.

@Razvan said in Week 128 - Weekly Drawing Winners:

@humerus
I know that a few months ago it was increased from 200 to 250, and I'm asking if they plan to go beyond 250 with the rewards.
If the max level that gives rewards will remain at 250, I would like to opt-out of being selected in this raffle to give newer active members a better chance to win the points. However, if they plan to increase it to 500, then I'll need the points as well.

From this news post: news item "They’re currently planned until level 400, so we got a way to go!"

As on all subjects with opposite opinions, the other half will never do the right thing

I am looking forward to meeting you lot ingame, High pledger or not.

Although I hope to visit some of those castles someday

@Znirf said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 37, 2019:

A wolf and a Udoadra are not of the same species, so that could be possible. Anyway, it will depend also on the race, some will be carnivorous and others herbivorous.

Now that is something I like! Where my Dearkin actually can stay herbivorous and will not depend on meat recipes.

Power to the vegans!

@MrTimo

Very hard to say right now. There were very limited skills/spells to choose from in Alpha 1.

There were only 2 healings skills available then, both on a long cd.

The amount of skills/spells will be huge though, so we have to wait for further tests to get a real clue.

Here I just gathered the skill/spells from alpha 1 google sheet

@Jetah said in Give us Attribute Resets please:

@Yitra
race change has never been free.

Who is talking about a free change?

this post is about attribute resets. obviously, which seems to be going over your head, that we could change the attributes within the race selected!

If I had created a Blood Demon with the intentions of going the caster way (with a +3 max cap on INT) and after a while I would rather go for a melee build (which a Hellfire Demon is far more suited for with a +3 cap in STR and CON) just an attribute reset would be nice, but for PvP it would still be sub-optimal and no PvP-er in its right mind would not rebuild then. Same goes for Beastmen, although it will feel less painful if they avoid PvP, then again, it would be a sub-par build.

So just an attribute change is nice for the occasional mistake at the start, but for a real change of playstyle, you need a change of sub-race as well (or rebuild what people try to avoid apparently).

I didn't pay any attention to this, to be honest, but if size of hitboxes is a thing, shouldn't that also be already noticeable in PvE. Rabbits versus Large Ents like etc?

I didn't had any trouble hitting/clicking on all kinds of beasts, even the rabbits were easy to hit.

@Farlander said in Knowledge System Account Wide:

I realize that having the knowledge system account wide circumvents some of the ideas that it will be harder when your character is the opposite alignment when traveling opposed lands. With that said SWTOR had a legacy system similar where you obtained achievements that worked account wide. There is really is no advantage to any one character obtaining all the knowledge of every character it just saves time from having to redo the many things you already did on one character to get those knowledge bonuses.

Anyway that's my two cents on this topic

As the development of your character is based on the knowledge system and there are no quests in this game, you basically asking to just be able to create a character at "max" level then. With all the skills available and as far as I understand, the talents (for example +3 to Intellect earned in the knowledge system) you choose on your first character, so those needs to be able to reset as well, as most likely you might want +3 strength as for an example.

Even fishing and crafting will give you nothing else then resources and no more knowledge. The gameplay will then only be gathering resources and PvP (and "limited" PvE dungeon, not sure how big and challenging this one is going to be).

I do understand the idea of not having to repeat certain things, but this takes away much core features out of gameplay and quite boring imho

@Pluto said in Upgradable Pets:

Didn't we reach a conclusion that it would not be hordes of pets? Where each summoned pet takes away from a counter of some kind, similar to attacks taking energy and whatnot? Or was that another game, everything I follow gets muddied together. Especially when one sits on the backburner haha

You can have 1 cosmetic pet, and a maximum of 3 combat pets if you have your charisma at max level.

@Orich said in Kinda wish Reddit was used more than these forums.:

I browse reddit a lot, and every other game has a very active community. Reddit is extremely convenient for most of us ... it feels like Fractured pushes a little too hard to leverage what feels like an antiquated forum.

I am considering myself a relic, so antiquated is my thing !

It really is a matter of taste, I have tried to get the grasp on Reddit several years now, but I always get brain damage by using it, to much info, too clustered to easly read post and responses

What I do know that several games had their Reddit "channel" started by fans and in a later statium converting to an offical one (same on Discord) . If there really is a need for a reddit channel, some people (or you ?) can start it up ?

A mage staff....finally ! Thanks Dynamic !!!!!

@Gothix said in Becoming an angel:

@Meiki That's not correct. Good characters can attack all flagged characters (murderers, thieves) at will. Not sure about unflagged evil characters, perhaps even them.

From the feature spotlight #6:

If you flag yourself as Good, you are not allowed to perform hostile actions against any other Good or Neutral player. There are several ways this restriction is applied – some common cases being:

You can’t use basic attacks and targeted spells against Good or Neutral players.
Your AOE abilities cause no damage or negative side effects to Good or Neutral players.
You can’t loot the corpse of a dead Good or Neutral player.
Giving the killing blow to a knocked-out Good or Neutral player is not possible.
You can’t take possession of bounty that doesn’t belong to you.

On the contrary, all the hostile actions listed above are permitted against Evil players – and even encouraged by Karma gains!

As far as I know, the gender-neutral language was not to make life easier for women, but merely for those who don't think they belong to either man or women.

Many games, like this report by Quantic which (as far I am aware) have no specific gender-neutral language, have a healthy population of women playing it. So I really don't see the point of needing this suggestion to get more women into this game.

Type/Genre of the game seems way more relevant to attract women to games.

Also if I look at this part of the OP "The link below does not take non-binary players into account but believe me I know MANY." It's like saying I know a lot of Christian people cause I go to church every Sunday. People tend to surround themselves with like-minded.

I rather like to refer to Bullet number 9 of the Quantic report:

1. Highest Percentage of Non-Binary Gender Gamers in Exploration and Family/Farm Sims.
   The baseline of non-binary gender gamers in our full sample is 1.1%. In the current analysis, the genres that had the most non-binary gender gamers were Atmospheric Exploration (3.8%), Family/Farm Sim (3.2%), Casual Puzzle (2.7%), and Sandbox games (2.3%).

Adjusting your game for 1,1% of a potential player base? Should not be on a list of things-to-do for an Indie-developer with sparse resources IMHO

Hey @whiteblaze: we have this thread for that kind of posting

Most of us are here for the long run, Rome Milan wasn't built in one day either and is still there !
