  @CrispyChipotle I also do not agree with that, the way the game is now, that doesn't make sense; nor does it make sense to even add a crafting talent tree now. If the dev's didn't already plan for that, it shouldn't be added just cause a few players want it; I know that I don't want it and I have never heard anyone else complain of that before this OPer did. Anyone should be able to craft anything if they have access to the materials and crafting stations. Most of his other suggestions/ideas were also BS as well. Especially for the trading, it is too early for the devs to be doing anything about trading at this stage.

  Yeah, it makes much more sense. The game can go into a beta release, or even early access with just one continent per world.

  The plan as always was set by the Devs to launch with a monetized store for cosmetic assets. As nothing like that would be implemented during testing, it is not currently a priority, and besides, cosmetic skins and such and a monetization store are the easy part of development. They already have the store on the website that lets you buy some decorations with foundation credits, so they've already got the store up and running, just not implemented in game. As to premium, that's what VIP access is. They have already sworn that they won't have any Pay-to-win microtransactions, and I for one an happy about that! They have also stated that they are ahead of many of their monetary goals, especially with the new investors, so it isn't a huge concern. Yes, devs always need money, but being ahead, they can focus more on game mechanics over additional cash grabs right now,

  @GamerSeuss said in PVP World - Concern on ruleset: The Devs have specifically stated not only that the current PvP ruleset we see will be for Syndesia only, but also that Tartarus will be a whole world, full loot PvP experience for those who want that full loot experience. That has not, and as is right now, will not change because among other things, that is what the Devs are promising to the PvPers who aren't getting the heavy PvP experience they want in Syndesia Excellent. That's the kind of reassurance I was after. Appreciate the replies guys.

  @GamerSeuss said in Economy Feedback and Suggestion: Let's face it, if a + b = c is all you needed to know to be a Game Designer or an Economist, we'd all be doing it, until supply would so way overload the market that it would get abandoned as not profitable enough to merchandize. That happened in the 80's and is kind of in the throws of happening again. Just sayin'. @GamerSeuss said in Economy Feedback and Suggestion: That being said, there is still an easy limiter here, in the Devs only have to limit the mobs availability for gold farming, and, if that still causes a problem, they can lower the gold drop probability and amounts, and increase the taxes on the marketplace and crafting that go to the 'system' and not the Governors. Static solutions generally fail. In short, game economies can not go negative. The most that could happen is that they reach 0, which would be game breaking for obvious reasons. A workable solution would involve allowing the resources to accumulate until a certain threshold has met with normal systems at work, and then slowly increase downward pressure on the system until it reached a sort of slowly oscillating equilibrium where the downward pressure would increase and decrease with the number of goods/gold coins in play. Dynamically adjusting what mobs drop is one way, having npc's that buy/sell/dispose of goods is another. The more systems that a player is able to choose to interact with instead of being forced to interact with, the better. Hence the reason to suggesting alternatives to simply increasing taxes or decreasing drop rates.

  I went with a luck based mage/dexer. I wanted to try something different from my usual archer, and I've got to say that it was a fun build that worked very well. My default setup was: Sea troll leather armor and Yew Quarterstaff, Rabbit Paw amulet Warcry, Strike wounds, Crippling strike, Acid Breath, Verdant Regrowth, Assassinate, Wildfire Totem The damage between acid breath and strike wounds was good, and it is deceptively hard to take down. Average evasion, with block chance and stun chance makes for a lot of chances. Luck improved on all of those. It is a char made to roll a lot and be lucky at it. In the end it was quite hard to deliver damage to it. Also, since my stats were 10 15 15 15 10 15, I had no low save rolls. At least 300 in each... enhanced by luck. Since it didn't wear any metal at all, it was really easy to maintain my equipment.

  @Sepoy I don't know what made you think that i am in some way owe you something, but the fact that my comment is off putting to you, doesn't really affect me in the slightest. I don't really care about if you are here day one, or you have been in this "community" or whatever you wanna call it, for years, all i do is respond to ideas. I am not part of any community that i am aware of, i am just a player who likes the game, and will respond to players who want to change core system and core mechanics in the game and will be local about the fact that i don't like it. And the fact that you come here, and demand some kind of different "language" or "change of attitude" towards you is entitlement in a level i've never seen before. If you have a bad idea, i will make you know about it. If you had a good idea, i would make you know it as well by supporting it. And about you saying that i implied that you might be this type of gamer or whatever, I've never implied that, You chose to believe that, and you chose to be offended by it.

  The current titles give a hand picked "these are the community moderators" feel. I discovered that isn't the case only because I had a hard time believing someone had been hand picked for the job and went looking. Think about changing the titles to something obviously unrelated to community outreach/moderation? Progressively more awesome animals, maybe? Progressively more specific colors, perhaps? "Redshirt" to "Pale Blue of Dawn's First Light". Just a thought.

  Changes Each chat message can now be 128 characters long at most. This applies to all chats (local, global, etc). The chat can now contain 128 messages at most. Older messages are deleted as new messages are added. Chat messages now become invisible 60 seconds after they are received. They are not deleted - when the chat is in focus (i.e. when typing a message or if forced through the lock icon), they all become visible again. Bug Fixes The Fast Metabolism talent now works correctly (it actually did nothing before).

  @Tardigrade This is the first test to include the Bowman option, and as such, how easy it is to play is not fully gauged yet. Playing an archer with friends, however should be easy, as the close up types can keep all but the other artillery types off your back to shoot.

  A few points on this. First, attributes don't really matter that much. You clearly shouldn't try to cast spells if you have INT 8, but 14-15 is already quite hard to distinguish from a full fledged 18 INT caster. Currently I play a build where the attributes are 10 15 15 15 10 15. It works perfectly and at top performance in many roles. That's because in Fractured no archetype is based on a single attribute. Warriors needs Strenght, Dexterity, Consitution, Perception and Charisma. They all contribute to swinging your weapon. Mages need Constitution, Perception, Intelligence and Charisma. Dexterity helps too. Archers need Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Perception and Charisma. Same for Street rats. Out of 6 attributes in the game, you always need at the very least 4. So, can I run a mage with 14 INT? Yes I can, and it will be as good as a 18 INT mage, It will just be built and played differently, leaning more on the other mage stats apart from INT. This was actually made possible by this last alpha. In the previous one, the attributes were far more effective at "locking" you into a specific role, since there was a big bonus that unlocked when reaching 20 in an attribute. I actually made an identical post to yours in the past, because I felt it actually was an issue. With this last design of attributes though, I no longer have problems with it. Second point, you CAN respec the attribute points. In the tests you have a free respec every week. In the release you will have one free respec for each char.

  Thank you for the feedback @munch and apologies to everyone who participated in that bugfest of a siege We definitely have to make some improvements to the siege system, including respawning and the banner destruction mechanic as a whole. We're going to come up with something before the start of the next test

  Hi @DJUAN994, thank you for the feedback. The tutorial is indeed very basic at the moment and talents as a whole are missing entirely. We're definitely going to add a step explaining talent presets like we do with abilities before we hit the beta!

  @hooby thanks for the report, we've added all the inconsistencies to our bug backlog and it's all going to be fixed by the start of the next test - or maybe even the next patch on Monday @GamerSeuss I understand you mean well, but please don't be so negative with people posting bugs that aren't "critical" - I noticed you've done that often during this test. Every bug report is precious, even if it's just some wrong texts!

  @lafourminoir Such matches happens all the time, even they aren't really trojans. If you would know how many false positives come up every day, you would not install anything anymore. All i can say, if the Dynamight guys would doing trojans, they would be very stupid, since they are listed with their real names.

  @spoletta I only own Adept copy of the game, so Im waitong for beta and much has changed from over year ago when I last played. Wiki is outdated too, so too bad Thanks for info. Btw healing from bandages and similar stuff shouldnt imo be instant; it 100% should stop bleeding, but not heal me instantly. Not only it looks like magic, but considering one doesnt need mana to heal with bandages, it should have some downsides.
