VIP subscription never works well. If bonuses are purely cosmetic, and small, it's not worth it for people to dish out money for it.

If bonuses are tangible so it becomes worth it to people to actually subscribe then lots of other people see it as P2W and you lose a good bulk of your player base.

Either way, VIP subscription only works for those games that already go as P2W, and then this is implemented as just another P2W boost.

VIP subscription will, in my opinion, not work in a game that is trying to not be P2W.

(a boost, no matter how small, is still a boost, and a portion of people would be lost due to that for sure)

Ah cool. Was kinda hoping asteroids would occasionally smash a part of a planet squashing loads of people in the process.

So, I guess that is not likely to happen, lol.

And maps could change over time (vegetation, animals, but maybe even more). I've heard something about asteroids having impact, and procedural map generation engine to be used at those times.

@gothix evil shoud not contoroll Syndesia. And about Tartaros should be just chaos so hunting none.

But it can. Syndesia is about guild controlled zones. Both good and evil human guilds can control those zones. It's about the fight. If you don't want evil to control Syndesia, join the fight on the good side.

Congrats all!

@Miffi We are all solo players from time to time, sometimes when grinding, or solo PvPing, not always doing it in group. Sometimes playing solo can be quite fun.

That being said, I do prefer group content and a social atmosphere, organized group PvP, etc. The harder the MMO is, the better (imo).

@Miffi As I wrote before, I will be playing in guild, and I don't mind either way. I'm actually advocating solo players here (for a change, lol) for the reason that devs mentioned that they wish to make Fractured more friendly for solo players than Albion Online is.

If that is the case, they will not make it impossible for certain characters (based on their attribute point distribution) to have certain mobs impossible to handle, even after switching their builds.

Also take a special note that when you start playing, you do not have alternate builds to chose from, and you gotta make do with what you have on start. So unlocking knowledge points can not be an impossible task, specially since solo players should be able to do it.

This means that solo players with 0 INT, and starting decks, should still be somehow able to handle physical immune mobs (even if it will be hard).

But, as I said, anything is fine by me. I actually prefer MMO to be extra hard, and not appropriate for solo player. I will be playing in guild, and I love challenging content, so... all good.

I'll be trying out a mix of melee and illlusion first.

I guess, there is just no discussion with some people. You are a prime example and prove that point...

Fibs is by far the most toxic person on the forum. He's on my list of people to keep an eye out for when the game launches

I seriously doubt he will name his in game character the same as his forum nickname though. He will hide himself good.

Enclave of Scrubs?

Or you can actually address any of the points I've made that effectively destroy your standpoint, but I know you too well to think you will.

(Also, devs value this system where a players can make different, unique characters, with broad variations on attribute allocation, so all players can feel (and be) different. They would not go and punish certain character builds to not be able to unlock points, specially since attribute allocation is PERMANENT)

I have?

Devs said "every knowledge point is possible to get solo"... they did not say "every knowledge point is possible to get solo IF you made your character with balanced attributes".

The devs also didn't say you need a computer to play the game, that you shouldn't stick your fingers in the power outlet, and all sorts of other things that any idiot would already implicitly know.

Yes if you made char with balanced attribute points, but what if you made a char with max DEX/PER and placed 0 to INT? Or placed so little to INT that your magic doesn't really hurt the mob, and he keeps destroying you.

Then you intentionally made a terrible build and blamed the game for your incompetence.

[...[t devs said that EVERY SINGLE knowledge point will be able to be unlocked as a solo player.

And you can.

Changing your skills to fight different enemies is still playing solo.

@vengu said in Whats your favorite character Class to play on your first Character:

This is actually one of my biggest concerns. If I am a DEX/PER archer, and I face a rock monster that's practically immune to arrows, what am I going to do?

... leave and fight something else??

Except you NEED to fight most (if not all) monsters to fill up your bestiary, learn knowledge, gain resources,...

I guess you could ask friends (from different classes) to help out. But devs said that EVERY SINGLE knowledge point will be able to be unlocked as a solo player. And if there is a mob that's impossible to kill for you (due to mobs immunities to your class spells, and you not having stats from other class spells to effectively use those spells), that means there are some knowledge (skills) that you will not be able to unlock solo.

Which is again fine by me, I will be playing inside a guild.

I'm just discussing this from a stand points presented by the devs.

I'm curious if archers will have access to various magical arrows that still depend on dexterity rather then intellect.

It was said do not try to shoot rock monster with your arrows (immunities, weaknesses), but if archer can not use his arrows, what is he supposed to do? Use magic? Cool, but archer buffed up his DEX on player creation not his INT, so if there are no magical arrows based on DEX archer will be disadvantaged.

On the other hand, a mage has various spells to use, fire, ice, water,... and all spells are based on INT, so whichever spell he uses for different type of mob, he is always on full power. Will there be mobs immune to all magic so mage is forced to use the sword to hit them? I guess that could be implemented to balance things up.

Need more such info before I can really decide on what char i prefer to play.

(but I aim towards constant DD, so mage / archer / warrior -- rogue no, I'm too impatient to stand around in stealth and wait for opportunity)

This is my 100th post. Woot!

What to write, hmm. Lets just say I luv ya all, even the "PvE folk". And I'm gonna give you so much luv in game when it releases.

• tavern with gambling and social games
• trading stands, where players can leave their goods to be sold (alternative to AH, no tax but must be on physical location to purchase an item)
• set guard rules (who will guards attack - or not - by karma, by alignment, by flagged status)
• taxation system of property, income for controlling guild (taxation caps within reason, not able to set insane taxes)
• resource management, set rules who is allowed to hunt / fish / gather in city ZOI (if anyone does it against the rules he is marked as thief)
• ability to set administrative positions (controlling guilds chooses people to fill them up, city major, city officers in charge of various stuff)
• city bank with storage space
• city arena, where duels can happen, and people can bet on the winner
• race track
• ability to build protective city walls, for sieges, by own design (including other city defenses)

@finland said in PK punishment:

I hope to see NPCs haunt down flagged players on Syndesia and Arboreus.

To add balance, NPC should hunt down all "positive karma" players on Tartaros and on Syndesia in all zones controlled by evil guilds.

@benseine said in NPC'S AGE ?:

maybe add the possibility to make old and/or fat characters.

As long as we are realistic and too fat characters will not be able to pass through all the doors (cave entrances).
