@trelia
the Asteroid setup will use procedurally generated content. It could be tweaked for tournaments, however, Fractured might not need an arena, as it could be the size of the demo video (they didn't mention size in the video so I can't say how big).
but i don't see Fractured having cash prizes from DS for a long while. Gear would have to be normalized.
@lx15
On planets with PvP it becomes a race to kill the mob and kill the opposing player.
You can get guild/alliance mates to defend if needed.
@technocat
I'm pretty sure DS mentioned color quality.
I do love the idea of everything doesn't have a quality color but is just a name, stats and an optional lore/joke part. I love it in Eve!
@gothix
i guess the Asteroid could have 3v3, 5v5, etc. That wasn't something I was thinking about though.
when OP posted, I thought for game play tournaments not other ways.
@comferage
i think the best reward is to have it in the game and, maybe, credited as a writer.. i don't think it would be a great idea to give cash to the winner. (the usual "by submitting your work, you agree to give, freely, without being paid... etc applies here.)
@redhorseman417 @chrightt
Developers do that to save cash. There's no other reason. Ok the other reason is to gender and race lock a new class so that people buy new cosmetics from the store.
@gothix
they'd have to have an instanced tournament for that. I doubt they'd offer cash for something that could happen in the world.

I feel very special now.
On topic: I'd love to see rare items exist, as long as they aren't too powerful compared to "normal" items and as long as they can be looted and passed from player to player like that. It would be an extra incentive to PvP, never knowing if some player you loot will drop you something rare.
"Shall I avoid a thief flag, or shall I risk searching the corpse, hmm."
I would be ok with them, well all gear, having a durability so that the item will eventually break and become unusable.
@TheGreatElleon
cosmetics, i know from the cash shop, will be bound to the player (unsure if it's account which it better be). I'm unaware if looted cosmetics from the game world are bound. I believe @Prometheus said it was a UI system so there are no physical items for cash shop items. I'd love to see cosmetics in the game world that are bound (maybe the really rare ones) and a few that aren't (the near common ones).

@jetah sorry if u feel attacked, but @Gothix keep writing in a few posts about that, and is really aggressive about it, you can check the different post, and it's all about this issues.
I hope the developers will keep a good balance between PVP and PVE, but till now It seems PVP players, mostly, try to change the game to a more PVP game.And no, one man isn't a discussion, it's a monologue, and it would be fine if it was once or twice, but he keep attack players in a very toxic way, about stuff that no one talked about.
And sorry @Jetah defending this, is kinda toxic by it self... so sorry but I will not reply to your post anymore.
I didn't say I felt attacked, I'm claiming that you were the first to attack. I searched 6 pages of @Gothix comments and protection of items were limited to two comments in this thread. I will mention that we're off topic.
You still have rebutted the statement though. Why would DS give item protection to players with legendary (or really unique) items? For a game that offers PvP and full loot as an option DS would be a hypocrite if they offered protection from looting of those items.
I'd love to see unique items crafted. I'd love to see unique Legendaries looted. There's plenty of lore that could be written for them. I'd love to hear post on these forums about someone losing their unique items from a death. (i mean i'd hate to hear about a 10:1 gank but..)
Each planet could offer a unique item for each slot, yet really make them rare. Asteroids could also have extremely rare items, maybe not unique, too. The world will get boring with us just looting crafting materials. If NPCs have gear to attack then we should be able to loot items in similar types from them. These items could be horrible, almost vendor only or they could be a quick way to get back into action without needing a crafter (which would hurt the crafters and somewhat the economy).
I'd love to see world bosses in PvP invasion areas that dropped gear and cosmetics (a head to place in our house/guild/alliance would be fantastic). Destiny 2 had all cosmetics from their cash shop and I wrote that it was pointless to do certain activities because there were no rewards for doing so. The next dlc changed that.
@grofire
i didn't think about someone asking for protection because I see the game as a full loot game. I'm glad @Gothix mentioned it. We don't wait for someone to mention protection to attack it. that's not now discussions works. protection was mentioned and you seemed to be the only one attacking it. Your comment immediately after proves my point. You could have rebutted in other ways but you attacked which isn't what the community should be doing. I see you as the offending party in the discussion on protected items. Your few post after Gothix mentioned it was nothing but attacks. If you want to have a debate then do so but don't attack another community member.
I see people demanding protection for limited items. DS would have stand their ground about the game being full loot.
@grofire
do you understand the reason to discuss things? One reason is to see problems. One problem is any limited quantity item will be met with demands to have that item protected. There's a reason full loot pvp games don't last long. People hate to lose items.
@grofire said in Limited/rare items?:
@gothix I do not mind you talking, but you so obsessed about this issue, you keep raising it while no-one else said anything about it...
We all understand that you a big PVP player and want this game to be what you wrote several times "full loot PVP game". while their is a part of this game that is "full loot PVP" it's only a part and I'm not sure it's even 40% of the game, so you need to understand it, and give place for other players with other play style to speak on what they want, or maybe you can find until release a game that will be more to your play style, maybe AO.
and i promise you if someone were to loot a legendary, they will whine to the devs for some loot protection.
it can be setup so that specific items only have limited quantity that exist.

@civ2011 I'm figuring to go pure Beast, since I personally can't stand PvP unless I'm in a VERY specific kind of mood. Not sure which particular sub-race I'll lean more towards yet.
think of PvP as "Highly Advanced AI" mobs.
This only applies to cowardly players who target such weak victims that the fact a player is behind the character doesn't matter (which will not apply in Fractured)
You're also forgetting that NPCs lag once and consistently (server<->client) while other players lag twice and inconsistently (client<->server<->client).
I'm not seeing the correlation between advanced ai and cowardly player though. advanced ai could decide between fight or flight, easy or hard targets, something a player would do.
@thegreatelleon
I like the dragon head we got from DAoC. It was really great to have hanging on a wall.
They mentioned a few rare item drops so who knows. but the game is more designed to have crafted gear so having a few "true legendary" drops isn't bad.
@fibs
I’ve never heard of a player in WoW who lost a weeks worth of progress due to some issue.
So it seems possible to run backups while the servers are up. I bet WoW does backups every time the character is logged out (or a few minutes after).
Shopping will be done on your planet. Or you’ll be killing and taking gear from enemies. Demons shouldn’t need materials from other planets to craft their gear. But they can use invasions to gather.
@logain
Do you need a world copy though. You’d need items, location and state (for housing). Every log out of a character can be a saved/backup state so you don’t lose the character details.
I seriously doubt WoW and Eve do world copies every week.
no.
