As much as I would hate instanced pvp, this sounds like something that could be placed on the Asteroid generated spaces. Something like this I'd enjoy if it were an event for a set duration with specific rewards. When the event is over those rewards are locked until next year's event.
People love event specific rewards and love having their items special for a while.
i thought AWS could scale as needed, assumed the client paid for x even though they only needed less than x.
we can grind for materials. dungeon bosses will have to drop materials or special components that upgrade or somehow increase the quality/durability/etc of gear.
name 2 games that have released as b2p with sub and have maintained that in the last 5 years. I know FFXIV but i haven't see any others (at least well known games). All the other sub based games have turned f2p or hybrid.
bubbles around the area. about all i can think of. i know archeage had limited numbers for sieges but i don't remember how it was done.
always assume they will wipe often.
it'll depend on what changes in the build whether they need to wipe or not. remember there isn't any grinding but i'm sure we'll be ganging up on npc's!
if you've done any troubleshooting work then you'd know the person will never tell you what you need to know to fix the problem. on game forums they even forget to mention the platform they're on, what they've done, etc.
yep, they had a 10k tier where you developed a unique monster. i've spent about 1k with them so far for various packs.
This is the type of community games need. If possible DS you could different versions of a language! IE some English or full translation or slang, etc.
If you voice acting then I could see sticking with one version.

@weezerant It's too early to announce a release date. You can obtain a pre-alpha key through the foundation, alpha and beta keys can be bought through the opcoming Kickstarter. Fractured is not going to be on Steam anytime soon. The devs want to make sure the game is really polished before putting it there.
OK, let me rephrase that question.
Are the devs looking at an early access/soft launch, either at steam or otherwise?
Assuming that by 2022 (or whichever date) Fractured is ready (I am talking full launch here), are the devs looking into a steam release?
Alpha and beta buy in via Kickstarter
Not sure but Valve takes 30% cut for every sale. It might be on steam or it might not.
Fractured will still have MTX.

@Jetah I don't think peoples feedback will depend on how much they payed for access.
Particular person will provide feedback as he otherwise would, regardless of the package price. Someone who will provide good feedback will always provide good feedback, and vice versa.
Also, people who can afford pricier packages do not necessarily provide better feedback (or vice versa), this just does not depend on cash. This depends on how involved player is, and what kind of mindset he has.
Part of it is pricing it out of majority trolls hands. There are many people that will buy a KS tier and refund it after a month or so. There are those that squat a tier too.
Sure there are exceptions to everything. There may be a few people that get a 15$ alpha tier and provide great feedback but majority will see it as a “play before everyone else”.
Consider how majority of teens don’t care for a car they’re given but those that buy their own tend to care more.
they haven't sent any! they wont for a few more months!
should be an answer in the live Q&A (video or summary of said video).
of those 2 i'd say poor quality. meaning that people will just say "x is broken" but wont give details. sure it's feedback but it isn't something the team could work with. Just looking at game subs on Reddit and you'll see plenty of poor quality feedback.
i'm not saying higher priced testing will always give better testers, you just need to be high enough that it rids the testing phases of the most 'unqualified testers'.
consider there are 4 beastkin races, 2 human and 3 demon. I suspect DS believes they'll have more beastkin than human or demon.
there's no xp so that wont happen. i personally hate buy to not play the game items.
If DS doesn't have some type of (cosmetic) rewards in game then it won't survive. This very thing happened in Destiny 2 pre Warmind dlc. All cosmetics were in the cash shop. I made the very post on reddit that mentioned this and there was nothing to 'grind for' because it was just RNG when getting the cosmetic lootbox. Warmind dlc changed it so there are cosmetic rewards not tied to the cash shop and it's a better experience because of it. gonna tag @Prometheus on this paragraph too!
i want to wield a frozen trout!
game is played in a 3rd person isometric view so seeing your face can only be done when/if we can zoom in. I suspect to see a few different face styles and skin tone but that's about it. you'll be unique not how you look or dress but your knowledge and skills on the skill bar.
