Gathering will be a grind. I doubt they'll just give us the resources in 1 or 2 swings. You'll have to replace gear too, which points back to that resource grind. If you decide to buy gear then you'll have to grind for that gold.
We may have City AH but nothing planet wide. I really believe someone will create a website marketplace so it's easier to buy and sell.
i love roads, they point us demons to where the people are! It's like "hey follow this line. People are this way!"
Similar to the dances and musicians in SWG?
i will full loot so long as i have the bag space!
I like multi-boxing in Diablo 3. It grants me the opportunity to gain more than I would playing solo. As long as it doesn't hurt other players it shouldn't be an issue.
watch the Live stream of game play.
Also note @Prometheus did mention that the time to kill would be a little longer than what was shown.
you'll grind for resources. you'll grind to replace gear you lose. you'll grind for those skills!
really depends on the playstyle. ideally none of them would be better but Demons do that perk of no negatives while invading!
While looking at a post about expansion ideas, I could see new planets (new content, maybe even asteroids) to allow for some experimental designs but are temporary with an option to export to the normal game.
For those that don't know, many games have temporary content, usually with ladders similar to a tournament, where everyone starts fresh with new characters, no access to previously obtained gear. Sometimes there are changes to the content specific for that time. example would be, 500% quantity of gear dropped. Increased resist to certain mobs. This changes how the game feels when you get to a point where nothing but that 0.01% is an upgrade, that "it has to have perfect attributes or it isn't an upgrade".
Let's take Asteroids, since it was mentioned by Prometheus a while back. An asteroid could be accessible for 3 months, real time, and provide changes to knowledge points, learning slots and boost magic by 100% (double magic damage). Another Asteroid could grant increased gathered materials, 50% additional physical damage, 25% additional physical projectile damage, increased chance for legendary craftables and 50% less Knowledge Point gain. These could be flagged as no-pvp, no friends, no groups, friendly fire damage increased by x, etc too.
I'm wondering if @Prometheus would consider this post-release, as an expansion maybe.
From a financial point, DS could offer time limited cosmetics specific for these events as support packs. the VIP could give a discount on these as well (optional of course).
@gothix said in Expansion Ideas:
@Jetah yeah I meant in peace, although, now that you point it out, I kinda like my typo, lol.
that's funny.
I do like the idea of new planets opening up. While I don't always see 3 planets I can see at least 2 that orbit each other. Now the question is do these new planets offer exclusive races and content or can these new races travel to other planets?
I see new planets as a means of expansion. New areas to explore, new races, new knowledge, etc. It'd be similar to a league in PoE or Season in (e)sports.

I hope the community is helpful to new comers or even veterans that are stuck on certain quests etc.
Nothing worse then joining a game and its full of elitests that ignore newbies and don't offer any advice.In the time I've been here, I think everyone has been helpful to anyone asking good questions. However, after the 100th "when is the game releasing" or "how can I get an alpha key" kind of questions, you tend to get the RTFM responses.
I tend to get there much sooner than 100. more like 10.
it could be possible it turns free to play if the revenue drops enough. I think it's pretty cheap considering.
@grofire said in VIP system : What do you think ?:
@jetah don't know to tell you since i have no idea how the game going to be same as all of us, and in any case i do not have so much money
Would you have picked a lower tier if the VIP was different than advertised on Kickstarter?
most sandbox games do not offer a campaign. But Fractured is pretty different. They could tell a story but I'm not how well it'd be with open world pvp.
why do you assume every skill will have a counter? They haven't even mentioned how stealth will work. It could be a temporary ability meant just to ambush. It could be perma invisibility but have more outlines indicating something is there. Beastkin could use smell to 'see' invisible players. It might not be invisibility at all and be more camouflage.
@grofire said in VIP system : What do you think ?:
I do not see the point of keeping debate on the matter, in the pre-Alfa/Alfa/beta we will see how it's effecting, and we will be able to say what we think, right now it's just a guessing game.
so if you purchased the Immortal tier specifically for the lifetime VIP and if Knowledge Point and Learning Slots were removed would you have still paid for that tier or would have you purchased a cheaper Kickstarter tier?
@finland said in How should shields work? WoW vs. Vermintide style:
@jetah you can easly do it if the block is a spell. you keep pressed a key and you move with the mouse to the direction you like.
that's exactly what I said... block isn't a spell though!
but a buckler is smaller and easily moveable. it's possible to block more area with a buckler. you couldn't block a dual projectile, say at your torso and legs, but you could move to not be hit by the leg projectile while protecting against the torso.
only problem I see with this is isometric games don't use the Z axis much for physics based combat.
@kralith said in What's on the Menu?:
I would like if there will be some demands of trading for food ingredients like a weekly market on a town.
Something like, Daemons will trade with Salt and Spices, Humans with all things thats cultivable, while Beastmen will hunt for Meat and collected Fruits and Herbs.
Every Master Chief will be able to make decent food from it, no matter which race. But to get the goods, you need to take a part from the other planets.The kind of food can be very differented.
If a beastmen chief want to get to learn the hot spicey Chillie con Carne, he has to go to Tartaros to find someone who teach him that.
If a Daemon want to get the grilled rabbit on Mango and Ruccola, he needs to get a better ethos to be able to learn it from the great Chief of Arboreus.
problem with learning from other planets, especially Arboreus and Tartaros is that invasions will last 30 minutes earth time which could be a day game time. I don't see that as a long enough duration to learn how to cook.
I can see the Human planet as more of a 'best from all 3 planets' type of thing.
i meant more of the concept of the tiger race. i was ignoring the lack of textures in the world. just having the tiger there with the stripes made me think it was neat!
I see nothing wrong with a Redeemed Demon eating humans they killed. They'd have to be evil humans so that could work.
It would be fancating for the character to have preferences to food. Although it'd be more to code it would be an interesting twist.
