@Finland your guild on your planet can be setup how you want in my scenario and other people who have different opinions can do what they want. This way everyone enjoys the guild they want.
All guilds are neutral. it's the people in the guild that have an alignment.
mean for discussion. i try my hardest to not visit facebook.
only problem i have is i'm not on reddit or other places discussing the game. But it does make the forums lively!
After reading @Target 's response I'd settle on the guild master decided by settings:
Maybe these could be combined so you can offer Planet Race and Strict Alignment. Or Strict Race and Any Alignment
Allowing the Guild to decide how it wants to function is more sandbox.
While in the Summary of Q&A we started talking about the Guild limitation and figured it deserved its own thread, so here it is.
GUILDS:
Guilds are planet-based. In order to be a member of a guild, you have to have permanent access to that planet. If you do something that causes you to lose your permanent stay on a planet, for example because you got exiled, you will be kicked from the guild.
- Only Beastman can live permanently on Arboreus so they are the only ones able to join Beastmen guilds.
- Only Humans and Beastman can live permanently on Syndesia so both of them can join Human guilds.
- Demons can only stay permanently on Tartaros, and for that reason can only join Demon guilds.
- Evil Humans and good Humans can't be part of the same guild.
- They might change it if it's too complicated or the community wants more freedom.
@Prometheus [source] @Jetah @Benseine Fractured is a sandbox but one with a strong lore and racial characterization, which comes with several unique design choices. That being said, as I've also mentioned in the streaming, perhaps these restrictions will change or will go away as a whole. Alpha will tell!
I'm under the belief that the game is a true sandbox and there shouldn't be any limitations in guild membership or that membership should be limited by the players. This allows trade guilds to coexist with races to help trade. This allows RP guilds to accept and release members that don't keep a certain alignment, etc.
To me if a guild wants to start the game as evil and after a few months or year decides to swap to neutral they couldn't do that under the current vision. They'd have to drop out, disband the guild then start a new guild with the old name while their members change from evil to neutral. A guild couldn't have a 'death squad' either.
I'm just seeing more theme park limitations with this decision.
@prometheus lore aside, i don't see why my friends and i have to be in different guilds because of an alignment or race difference. There will be guilds that might want humans and beast/demons because they're a trade guild. that means they can communicate easily or they'll just use their characters and chat/speak on discord.
lore wise, it could be locked to RP characters or guilds. I could see a human having a demon slave which would be in the same guild.
this assumes that players are locked to 1 guild. There are games where a character can join up to 3-5 guilds. There are games where guilds can be in alliances (with an alliance chat). There are games where guilds can pledge alliance to other guilds and be brought under their banner (sub-guilds).
then we have the limited membership of guilds.
I guess this will have to be a different topic.
i only thought to make them invisible to others to help those people with low end game systems. there are times when i just don't want to see non-combat pets.
I'd like to see Character Slots in the cash shop. I understand it might already be intended to be there but if the base game includes 3 slots (enough for 1 on each planet) then could be expanded to say 20 slots total (so 17 purchased in some manor). That should be enough for the first 5 years of the game. Then it could be increased to 50.
@ladyrowan said in Cash Shop Items You'd [Consider] Buy:
I always like those companion pets. Not ones that would fight but ones that would follow you about and just be amusing. Little mini-bosses that run about saying their catch phrases and such. I've done many a quest to get these as rewards or drops but I have to admit to purchasing a few as well.
how would you feel if those pets were only seen by you? like imaginary pets so to speak. then a joke helmet with special goggles/glasses could be worn to "see other players pets"?
@specter said in Stance on RNG Loot Boxes:
Prometheus has given Dynamight's stance on lootboxes
.
i love that you're posting in all of the threads but it would have been nice to see a condensed version in one of the two post about the live Q&A.
@tulukaruk the system should work so that it takes someone else being there to 'report' the murder. if no one is there then no one would know.
I'm with @Gothix on the guild system. I hate that a sandbox game is going to force a player out of a guild because of an alignment change. That should be up to the officers whether to kick or keep. A guild system should be open to everyone.
This system also prevents guilds from switching alignments too.
That isn't a sandbox system, it's a theme park system.
I'd suggest using Restream (referral link) to live stream to both Youtube and Twitch or up to 20 different services.
I used a referral link because you love them so much, you gave them to us!
@jackbinimbul said in I want to get excited but...:
I hate mandatory PVP and will never support a game that encourages douche bags to gank people indiscriminately. It's a game. I should be able to avoid having my day ruined. If someone's entire enjoyment with a game revolves around doing things to other human beings that cause harm, I'm not interested in playing with that person.
That said, I get that a lot of people enjoy PVP. I just don't get how its no longer fun for some people if they can't impose it whenever and wherever they want.
so, you'll never leave the safe zone on the beast planet or similar if the human planet has it?
a mandatory pvp game doesn't have ganking because it's always on pvp. when you step out of any safe area you know you're going to be attacked, you don't know when but you know it will happen.
@Gothix has a point though. A true sandbox wouldn't force a player out of a guild because their alignment changed. A player in the guild would have to kick them out. If the guild wanted to change alignments then they should have that option, According to the current information if the guild wanted to change alignments then everyone would have to leave that guild and create a new guild. It'd be the same guild, same leadership, same members just a different alignment.
i know what the OP is asking for. I asked if the game will have a different UI (assuming we can't modify it) specific to be streamer friendly.
