caverns can be made into 'worlds' like the surface is. just place it in a different instance (we'd have a load screen) and make the ceiling pretty high so that the camera would work. they could do smaller sizes the further you go down while exposing the fractured planets in ways at the 'map' edge.
and i want a playable Naga race for the Demon planet!!!!!
I actually think of archeage when I think of oceans now. Being able to get a boat and dive underwater to explore and farm was amazing then there was the naval combat! I'd love to see something like that in Fractured.
@Znirf said in Knowledge System Account Wide:
Hi all! Knowledge won't be account-wide, we'd like to encourage you to discover all the planets, animals, monsters, plants and abilities without shortcuts. I can assure you that it won't be an easy job handling all the various "not native planet" debuffs and passivities during travels! The only things that can be shared among different characters will be your dwellings and skins.
I'm actually less inclined to explore if I'm only limited to 30 minutes on the fury planet. Only because it'd take so many invasions to get a good amount of knowledge to unlock stuff there. Then there's the, and I'm assuming here, randomness of where you'll spawn during an invasion. So as you gain knowledge on the fury planet your likelihood of spawning in a place you need becomes less. example: lets say fury planet has 100 spawn/invasion points. when you get to about 75-85 of 100 the remaining amounts become harder to get. If I need one of those last 25-15 spawn spots then I will get give up because I know the odds are against me.
@Farlander
at least the beast will be simi-protected from pvp on their planet. they'll have to actively seek it out. Humans is where I can see the forums heating up.
but we're assuming that knowledge is static. unless it's a random chance from killing mobs or something then people will note how they got their knowledge and it'll be easier than "omg how do i get this specific knowledge.. well i better just play the game until i get it". it'll be more like "oh, i need to kill this shaman until it drops. then i need to kill this toad till it drops, etc".
if knowledge was specific to a character to unlock then a database on how to unlock knowledge would be useless.

@Xzoviac Actually bear-kin can reach natural 20 int
But yes, and 2m tall guy with sumo wrestler body can try to be silent rogue, noone says he cannot. But truth is he will suck at it. However noone is forsing him to be anything. He has the choice.
pre stat distributions are a guidance to be a certain playstyle whether the person likes the aesthetics of it or not. the demons have 3 choices, the beast 5 and the humans 1 (i'm leaving gender out of it).
@Shivashanti
some knowledge will be specific to certain areas. you'll need a demon/beast alt to get into the areas that are karma restricted.
as previously mentioned knowledge doesn't make you more powerful just more versatile.
@Razvan
but you'll get the knowledge faster by knowing ahead of time. you can join a guild/alliance that can help you get that safely. you could wake up early and get your demon knowledge at retaliative safe times.
@Gothix said in Game F2P or P2P:
"Demo planet" could be a world that already exists in Alpha, that we are testing now.
Just keep it on separate instance separated from real game world (and of course polished up with all the retail fixes), and use it as demo.
sure could!!
@Razvan said in Knowledge System Account Wide:
If they did this everyone would have a bunch of alts - they would have an efficient pve character and then all sorts of niche characters that are usually very hard to level up (for example single target high mobility ganker). Do you want everyone to have a free efficient ganking character that otherwise would be very hard to level up? I wouldn't.
once the methods of unlocking knowledge is found and posted, people will do that anyways. alts are more efficient to have at certain locations than trying to put your main everywhere.

@Razvan said in Game F2P or P2P:
@Jetah Yep, I hope they think in advance and find a sustainable financial model because dramatically changing it a year after release will probably cause a lot of community backlash. Which would suck because this game looks promising.
i understand the buy to play but realistically games have problems with that unless they're backed by a great publisher or developer. I can see Fractured doing well as a f2p game, but i also hate the ability to create an endless amount of accounts to just troll and be toxic.
I dont mind f2p basic accounts that cant PM pr group or trade until they buy the full version
i just think games like this should have a demo of some type that's separate from the rest of the game. something like a demo planet.
the only real problem with b2p games is needing to try it before actually purchasing it.
if they did a reduced amount passed to alts then it wouldn't be that bad but a one to one would be bad.
@asspirin said in Give us Attribute Resets please:
@Jetah Bear will always be physically stronger than wolf, stats should reflect that (deer kin should be too, but for balance reasons they´re weaker
). At least we will not meet 80cm tall gnomes dual wielding 2 handed weapons like in wow
Im rolling necromancer/abjuration/warfare bear mage hybrid - who said you have to be pure thematic class
if we go with the bear example then no human could be as strong so their str attribute should never be close to a bears. if bears can get to 20 then no way a human could hit 10. so humans would have to stop at around 5 ±2.
demons dont exist so we can't place stats on them.

@Jetah Well, matter of taste then :). I didn´t mind in times of Diablo II, I will not mind now.
Btw you can look what you want to look like and so far your attributes are the only decision you make, all else is changeable ingame.
if you want 1 race but the starting stats are horrible for your play type then you'll be less effective than those that choose the other race. why would people want an under performing race/spec combo?
@Esher said in Free to play?:
@Jetah Your work is not over yet, it seem
You have more people to guide to the FAQ or the search bar x)
i'd have to teach every school in the world to tell them of search bars and FAQs. so it'll never happen.
@Azazar said in December 2019 Stress Test Review:
I was so excited when i got invitation letter! And was so sad when i wasn't able to log in cause of ful server =((
full servers are much better than near empty!
i dont think it'll happen at release. if the game has to swap to f2p then it may.
but it could work to get people to try out other planets/races.
the only problem I can see is once the locations and methods of learning knowledge are out then it'll be create the 1 human, 1 demon, 1 beast to get what you need then get off the planet you hate the most.
it may change if the revenue isn't there. Warframe changed and they're doing very well because of it.
i want the freedom (as it's a sandbox game) to be whatever i want to look like and do whatever i want to do (given time for attributes to adjust/change).
if there's going to be no classes then attributes need to adjust in some fashion.
@Razvan said in Game F2P or P2P:
@Specter Thanks. So there are no economic aspects related to premium? Do you know of any plans regarding a gold market (where players can trade between eachother silver for gold)? It was quite fun playing the market in Albion.
PS: Do we have any info on when will the foundation end?
It's been a while but i dont think they want any cosmetics to be traded for in game goods. think of it more like Path of Exile and not Warframe.
