we'll have grinding!
you'll need gear. you'll have to grind for resources.
we'll need replacement gear, you'll have to grind for resources.
we'll need food and drink to survive in specific locations, you'll have to grind for those resources.
resources will be the biggest grind you've ever done. I imagine guilds will want dedicated resource gatherers.
@gamble
Crowfall has vassals but it's mostly for the player housing. I'm not sure if it'll be used outside of that.
i don't really like pyramid type schemes (this sounds like it if i'm understanding correctly).
It might be used as another feature! It could be setup so that vassals are group leaders within the guild. This could be extended to alliances so that an alliance vassal is a guild leader.

As much as I'd love to see that as well, I doubt that it's within scope. They have to focus on their Kickstarter right now (there's only one 'real' shoot for that) and can't spend as much time as normal on developing the game. Can't show what you don't have yet, I guess
That's part of why I think the combat doesn't exactly look 'tactical' yet and more like a spam attacks Diabolo clone.
Any idea what time of the day (roughly) the Kickstarter is going live?
If I watched the video's and only saw 1 spear, 1 electric ability on both characters then I wouldn't ever think that the game had 398 more abilities to offer. I'd assume it was a melee class with some special ability that allowed the electricity or that the electricity was more of a gemmic of an item.
@prometheus said in Kickstarter Update - Start Date & Video Teaser #1:
@Jetah this teaser had beastmen, the second one will have humans, the third at least one demon. They'll also give glimpses of resources gathering, building, towns, PvP @00
Showing a lot of spells is impossible, simply because we don't have them. Kickstarter has indeed slowed us down, as @Logain correctly guessed, but that's also because we need to develop the basics of all the core components of Fractured (world generation, gathering, crafting, building, town management, travelling, the knowledge system, etc) before focusing on a single one like abilities.
Those were beastmen? They looked totally human.
You had the frost ability in the teaser video earlier.
@sieich said in Kickstarter Update - Start Date & Video Teaser #1:
Why does the electric field in the water not damage the players? There is no friendly fire as listed in the first video?
FF.. there really isn't FF. good aligned races can't attack other good aligned races. the only FF i know of is stray shots fired by different alignments. also groups mates won't allow FF.
I watched the first pre-alpha game play video and I asked about TTK and in the live Q&A @Prometheus said that it was faster while in testing but the TTK will be lower when the game is released.
@sharo said in Guild housing and relations:
@loxreaten yeah but in open world other players can join and come in, I mean a private area for guild members only (maybe the gates could have guard npcs who you can hire to keep peeps out)
i could see the guild hall having an area instanced from the rest of the town. there's needs to be some place to erp.
@grofire said in guild sharing loot/ stats:
@jetah I tried to explain but it seems you guys stuck, so I will wait for Dec to say how it will be, in any case it's stupid party leader decide, every game I seen that have it manage to workout but in guilds it always fucking the new players or the low level player in the guild.
in guilds, if the guild leadership is forcing members to give loot then leave the guild. there's no other way to fix it. no members in that guild and they have to do it themselves. don't let that one guild force you to believe that's the only way it works. The guild i'm in never did that unless it was to build something for the guild, even then it was donations.
if there's an invasion in the first day or two of release then yes they will. although there might not be any human/beast in the area.
DS mentioned that there will be a rare occasion where a mob will drop gear. otherwise they'll drop crafting materials.
the game plans to have raids! although I'd love to see a world boss in each planet in the invadable areas.
@iecheg said in OCEANS IN FRACTURED???:
a boat fight can be awesome :3
I loved them in ArcheAge! Was a great way to get a underleveled guild mates to join in some group activities.
one of the few times i'll watch a youtube video about video games!
feedback:
the video looks like a generic arpg set in the swamp to showcase music.
I'm not sure about the other video but I'd suggest you showcase some more of the 400 skills you have.
IF possible have one of the beastkin or demon in one of the videos.
The swamp looks good, the attacks seemed pretty generic (i know it's pre-alpha although it's really more like internal testing) and they should get some polish at some point.
Show some of the armor too! people love looking unique.
to me what will make this game different is the beastkin and demon. If you can showcase a siege or some pvp (with both of those races) then it'll appeal to those that want to pvp.
from that video alone it looks like a poe copy.
if you can have a live stream during the kickstarter to show more, then i'd suggest you try to coordinate that. show some pve and pvp in the live stream so people understand the game is PvX (both).
@grofire
so how does the game know when to use my FFA settings and your restricted settings for 1 item? This is why I said it's better for the group leader to set it. Generally if the group leader went though the trouble of forming the group then they decide how loot is done. If you don't like that then you ask them to change it or leave.
@grofire
so there's no chance for that loot to be free for all because I had FFA set?
This is usually why the group leader sets the loot distribution. If you like the way it's set then you stay in the group. Otherwise you ask for it to be changed or you leave the party.
@diko
Skinny - imagine the nerdy kid in school that doesn't do much physical exercise.
slim - imagine bruce lee. Strong but small, great strength to weight ratio.
@basileus
Most isometric games don't have much for character customization. I see it more like a MOBA in the idea that the gender is usually locked and the visual looks of the model. The armor is what changes your character to look different (or the same).
I haven't heard of any demon - human interaction via biting. If it was there then I missed it. Any character can switch alignment. You can become an evil beastkin or holy demon. There are even quest chains you can do to become an Angel Demon or Abomination Beastkin.
wouldn't beastkin and demons have night vision? i could see just the humans having issues with it.
your group kills 1 mob. 1 piece of loot is there. Who's loot settings works on it?
we can't even swim...
It might be an expansion but don't hold your breath over it.
@logain
I was thinking that too but didn't post it.
@ildirettore said in OCEANS IN FRACTURED???:
@gothix maybe you can get an oxen mount and try and ford the river
Oh! I forgot that some mounts could be used to cross rivers! (Real live of course)
This would be a good alternative for swimming for now.
Imagine if swimming is added and we have to drown a few times to unlock the skill!!!
After release I’m open them staying exclusive for a few years or permanently exclusive.
I’m at the point in my life where keeping it exclusive for a year or two is fine for me.
