@Prometheus Pretty impressed by how good the game looks even in pre alpha state. Is there a twitch link somewhere floating around for fractured?

Will be delivered when we announce the exact time of the first Q&A

@logain said in First Fractured Gameplay Video Released!:

Can you 'define' friendly fire? Normally, the term would indicate that if a third person gets in the line of fire between you and the target, the ray/projectile/hit no longer hits the target, but that third person. How could you do that in a game with free targeting (you can freeze a river, so you need to be able to aim at said river...), while keeping your 'only consensual PvP - mantra'? If I can aim anywhere and deal damage to anything in that line (friendly fire), I could easily kill a Beastman as Beastman?

It means exactly that, but as I've said, you can avoid it by grouping with your friends. If you have a Good alignment, you also can't hurt other players with Good / Neutral alignment - this includes friendly fire. Since Beastmen are Good, they can't hurt each other. It was mentioned in this spotlight :slight_smile:

@Zefireq @Eletze animations and the UI are really temporary, as I've mentioned elsewhere. They will be both remade from scratch :slight_smile: There will be a minimap, too. Same goes for several particle effects. Don't focus too much on the graphics department, it's a pre-alpha!

can we try the game out without a minimap? i think it gimps the players and doesn't have any lore reasons for being there.

@benseine said in PK punishment:

Good thing ppl that like pk and ppl that hate pk are worlds apart in this game and have to go to extreme lengths to reach eachother

the pk people will band together to raid the beast planet. it'll be fun, you should join in.

So your claim is just simply wrong. As wrong as it can be.

Keep living in denial, bud.

I have absolutely no reason to prove anything to you; whatever you say and think, you're still going to get mad that Fractured doesn't let you pathetically pick fights you can't lose, you're still going to leave the game because you actually need to be skilled to PK in it, and the rest of us will still keep playing a game that's better without you there.

Was nice talking to you. o/

I'm going to tag @Finland too because he said full pvp game can't be an mmo. well Eve Online would like to have a talk to both of you. Eve is alive because of the pvp.

@finland

you don't always need months to test. sure it may help but i bet most people will just play and not actually submit reports of stuff broken.

Right now Camelot Unchained isn't doing 24/7 testing to the public. they offer a few hours on the weekend and that's it.

@dybuk

can't use characters outside of the alphabet. DS can put certain phrases and words on a ban list so they can't be used. if someone manages to bypass the filter, a player could report said item to get it changed.

@FibS

there are people who Role Play and this gives them something to get immersed. filters can be used while players could report the offending names to get them changed. I see character customization more in the abilities you equip and knowledge you unlock and not how you look.

@jetah said in Streaming Pre Alpha?:

Having watched Crowfall backers provide feedback, suggestions, rants, etc, it seems to me having limited game time is better for a developing game than 24/7 access.

Indeed, that is why we will run several time-limited testing phases (A1, A2... B1, B2...) until Full Release :slight_smile:

do i assume that could consist of a friday - sunday (or monday) testing length? Offer a monday-wed or wed-fri to those that work weekend shifts.

@eletze I disagree

• it's in pre-alpha. this means it's more of a technical demo. they ask 'can we do this' then figured out ways to do just that. other effects will be added.
• i love the no minimap. I looked at the cooldown effects and love them. sure seconds would be nice but it's unique and I like it for that. They've already said in a spotlight that the number of skills would be limited. damage number detract from the game (and it's pre-alpha)
• it's pre-alpha. you're expecting some more polished which could be called a beta.

@lmieir

i have 1 recruit, with no post. i've won 1k pts twice and now at 52 or 54.

@prometheus said in First Fractured Gameplay Video Released!:

There is full collision between any type of creature (players included, in the same party and not). SpatialOS makes it possible! However, we might tweak the rules here too. Alpha testing will tell whether it's really feasible on a large scale or not.

if you ignore player collision then people/groups will become 1 death ball. Think of an RTS where you can move 100 units on top of each other. If there's player collision then creating choke points is useful, death balls are less; also still deadly, and would cause tactics to be necessary (at least I'm hoping).

@gothix

at least it's contained to 1 topic post. sometimes you don't want to read the 30+ unread threads so you just pop on the daily quest and type in hello.

@gothix

it's fine, just we had a huge thread that was pulled from another thread.

I'm more curious on DS stand point and players stand point.

I played Tera and 90% of the cosmetics are from RNG boxes. There are a few versions of the cosmetics out of the box but the stats are worse or the color is different. Stats aside, I hate knowing the only way to get an item is via RNG box. Only thing helping Tera is RNG cosmetics can be sold on the market, so this somewhat helps those that wont gamble to get what they want.

I'd much prefer a red, yellow, green, gold, silver or bronze robe in the shop for 3$ than Robe RNG box for 50¢ ea. Only because the odds of getting the robe I want is slim and the developers never mention it's a 1% chance to get it.

@gothix said in Stance on RNG Loot Boxes:

If you are able to spend real cash to purchase cosmetics, and then exchange those cosmetics for in game currency, followed by buying best gear from crafters in game. This would create an enormous P2W advantage.

not really what this topic is about. We have a nice long P2W thread which you can use.

I'm wanting to know if DS will have more RNG boxes or if it's just contained in the Foundation. I have no problems with your opinion on RNG boxes but P2W stuff isn't what I want to chat about.

@fibs

problem is developers will place rng boxes in because it generates more income rather than placing an item with a price tag.

@pogo said in General Game Design Suggestions...:

Character Customization (Individualism)

problem is the more unique you make a character the more the client has to make it look unique, which means the hardware requirements are higher.

how many times do you look at other characters and remember their eye color or how their hair is fixed, most characters wear a helm all the time (depending on cosmetic/transmog).

If you want a broader Audience

i think it's better that DS focuses on the type of person they want and don't design the game to appeal to everyone.

@fibs

only thing i dont want is your undergarments. rest is ok to use.

@xanowrath

i dont like them in games aimed at adults. it's ironic but i dont mind Overwatch. I guess it's because the boxes are earned at each level and they're pretty easy to get.

@prometheus said in How many players will get invite to the pre-alpha tests?:

@foxs said in How many players will get invite to the pre-alpha tests?:

Just wonder how many it gonna be, or how much levels should we get in the fundation system

As Finland said, we can't give you an exact estimate of how many players we will get in the pre-alpha (so "more than 100 and less than 1000 is a good answer eheh).

As for the level you need, the answer is more complex than that. Players with top ranking will get in for sure, but other factors such as high community engagement will be considered as well even if you're not in the top XXX of The Foundation :slight_smile:

would love to be in the top XXX of The Foundation... for reasons.

@fibs

problem is, why would a developer put items up for sale for a static price when they can get people hooked on gambling addiction. it's already been proven that people spend more on RNG boxes than not.

give most people a chance at a 'high value item' and they'll take it over a static priced item.
