i could see portraits using customization. there you could see facial features, hair, eyes (maybe), etc. they could even sell portrait borders similar to Path of Exile.
I could see character customization on the character select screen but other than the portrait i wont be looking at my characters close enough to remember what color their eyes are or even what, if any, piercings they have.
@roccandil said in Importance of attributes triggering repetition?:
For playing alpha/beta where the worlds will be zeroed anyhow, not a big deal, but if I were coming into a released game, I'd be worried about burning out after realizing my stat selections sucked.
use the power of alpha and beta to build the character you want. or wait till someone else produces the min-max results.
oh i agree that their dps shouldn't be great. those i listed are usually the hardest to kill but almost tickle for dps. but i know that playstyle is enjoyed. i enjoy my dps DK in wow and my crusader, at times, in diablo 3.
i just hope taunt actually works in pvp!
to me Fractured should have meaningful choices but those choices should include as much in game information about them.
but i'm asking the difference between a fireball being magic and someone throwing a torch at the same target. i'm asking the difference between someone casting a blizzard and there naturally being a blizzard happening. i'm asking how is magic lightning different from natural lightning. magic is typically based on natural elements. sometimes it's the elementals that grant the user the ability to use those elements.
if a group of players are headed to a cold location then i expect them to be dressed in warm clothes (or have them in the inventory). if a frost mage decides to attack and cast blizzard while in the cold area, i dont see how the warm clothes wouldn't protect them from this blizzard being cast.
if you've played any type of isometric game, then you'll understand that it's difficult to see faces, eye color or even build. Look at Ultima Online and just see if you can see what a character selection options they used.
I really feel that putting a bunch of time into it will be wasted.
[edit]
there's a reason why Path of Exile, Diablo (series) and other dungeon crawler games don't have character customization.

@Jetah
some pictures
and do you think your character does 53.95 dps with skills with that weapon? again that weapon dps is just the dps the weapon does, no other skills. (totally overlooked it when i checked but that's just the weapons' damage per second, not the characters dps with rotations)
Just saw this on Imgur and thought it'd be amazing to have in Fractured. Some type of magic (earth, wind, water maybe) or physical could change the shape of rivers or make ponds.

@asspirin said in How important is choosing a race?:
@hellzer yes, HEAVY restrictions. Actually RACE and STATS are only permanent decisions, rest will be learned by playing the game and can be changed any time (just rest near camp fire).
Whole world consists of 3 "worlds":
Tartaros - home of demons - full pvp all day everyday
Syndesia - people - middleroad - pve and pvp (also often under siege by demons)
Abroreus - beastmen - carebear paradise of pve, no bad guys allowed info fairytale land (actually yes, but under HEAVY debuffs)P.S.: Worry not, if you want to make evil beastmen, you can - you´ll become Abomination and are welcome in Tartaros
...or be good demon to become angel
seems like humans are the most flexible option then?
And you mentioned under siege... that is by other players, right?p.s. do you have any advice on early choices I should make if I want to be PvP oriented character?
game is still in alpha so it's possible any choices you make now can be changed/balanced.
@gothix
no different than the RP people swapping to interfere with non RP. At least my suggestion keeps everyone on the same physical server. You know people demand separate servers in the beginning of a MMO launch but then demain mergers after 6 months.
The RP instance could have a popup with certain guidelines (similar to how other MMOs RP servers) so that the harassment isn't tolerated. it could have a temporary 'RP name' so that you wouldn't break the name convention of it!
plenty of News post for Design journals, you can also read about all of the New while there too.
The core idea of the game sounds great although we'll see how it's executed.
@gothix
and earth magic user (shaman?) could move the soil so that the warrior and others can pass over.
I'd like to see lore themed holidays, even if they wont line up with our holidays.
@mazikar
Never play the game... safest you can get.
@Esher said in Free to play?:
@Jetah Your work is not over yet, it seem
You have more people to guide to the FAQ or the search bar x)
i'd have to teach every school in the world to tell them of search bars and FAQs. so it'll never happen.
i like games. but i hate games that turn themselves into jobs. I'd hate to have to farm herbs, and other ingredients before making something.
and i want a playable Naga race for the Demon planet!!!!!
I actually think of archeage when I think of oceans now. Being able to get a boat and dive underwater to explore and farm was amazing then there was the naval combat! I'd love to see something like that in Fractured.
@dragomok
Of course it will.
Full loot. Means people can directly buy any gear or harvestable materials.
There’s a world that protects them from PvP.
@Xzoviac said in Ocean Exploration?:
Being a pirate lich sounds very appealing
oh the cosmetic skins for that one!!!
@therippyone
they'll have the quest chain to become an Angel or Demon (not the race).
