@Znirf

are these item(s) permanently purchased or will the gold be refunded at release or in another test phase?

@islesofurth

i've seen developer support the Linux community which has less than 1% of the OS. now if they could take that and focus it toward physical disabilities instead then we'd have more games accessible to gamers.

and this isn't about a lazy able individual trying to be a professional gamer.

@Farlander said in When will shop items become available ?:

Since they are cosmetic I'd imagine not much testing will be needed other than to make sure they look good.

dup testing, exploit texting, shop removing currency and giving the item testing.

there's more than just 'does it look good'.

this is a sandbox game. not a themepark.

That being said, some races will have racial bonuses to certain magic types.

race doesn't limit magic.

I just want to see disabled persons have access to video games. the internet is slowly coming around to it but having 1 game per genre that offers great audio cues, and screen read would be a great start.

I think you mean disadvantaged people, not disabled.

i'm pretty sure being blind is a disability. we have disability benefits here, not disadvantage benefits.

But honestly, anyone who streams is certainly not disadvantaged in anyway.

he has D3 (ARPG) but I didnt link those.

Now I have no proof he's blind other than what he says. Assuming he's blind. I promise you he doesn't have any advantages being blind.

Do the game designers not answer questions here?

They often do and are pretty active in the Discord server. I'd recommend tagging @Znirf, @Prometheus, or @Specter.

as much as i love discord, it's a horrible place for answers to questions.

@Jetah could demon player be able to break free of control and shred human player to pieces?

always a small chance. magic isn't perfect!!!!

@islesofurth

screen readers already exist, although not in the DX11/12 or even game sense but it's heavy possible to have screen reader for the user when they mouse over or press a key to initiate the screen read (it'd be similar to using your phone where it reads everything but it'd focus more where the cursor is or the player is.). the hardest for a blind player will the gear and the tooltip. that part needs screen reading.

I just want to see disabled persons have access to video games. the internet is slowly coming around to it but having 1 game per genre that offers great audio cues, and screen read would be a great start.

the blind guy above said that gear drops in D3 are different between armor types and between armor and weapons. Again that would be different because of the looting of an actual mob, and not from the ground.

No, I wanted to point out that the concept completely devalues the rare experience that visiting other planets would be if the only means are through the portals.
It's a bit like finding a gold nugget compared to finding sand, the simple fact that there's hardly any effort involved in finding sand and that it is such a frequent occurrence makes it worthless.

it's one summoned player. the spell could have a 10-20 hours CD on it. it doesn't cheapen the invasions nor the portals that have to be built.

again, you're confusing two concepts.

@Gothix

world of warcraft, diablo 3 and overwatch have good audio fidelity, so I can't say it hurts it. to me it's more of the client/server registering where the sound came from to give the correct volume from a distance (unless the client can do all of that).

i understand waiting but you could get more disabled players if it's added before launch, they could even test it (i'd definitely be ok with them having alpha access!).

do like testing an incomplete product? because that is what it is right now. many things are broken. many things dont exist, many things dont work well.

@Logain

re-reading your previous comment and you really missed the ball on it.

you're expecting a human to summon a demon to be skipping an invasion. which it isnt. the summoner summoning a demon is just flavor for that knowledge tree which allows a demon to temporarily (literally like less than 15 minutes) be on the planet under the rule of a 'powerful summoner'. nothing more, nothing less. it make the warlock summoning demons from the twisting neither more of a reality where the demon is a player.

@Prometheus

dont know too many publishers that are good though.

this is a sandbox game. not a themepark.

missed the email?

gratz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd really love to see Fractured take the accessibility route a little hard and make it easy for blind, deaf, and other disabilities to access this wonderful game. Seems sound and a screen reader (for gear and UI) would be highest for blindness.

I have discussed this before, but figured it would help to inform those who may not know about how blind people play D3.

For starters, the sound design is pretty solid, when using a headset, you can hear exactly which direction enemies are in relation to yourself, so you know which way to attack, each skill has a unique sound to it with some runes modifying the skills sound. For example, bash on the barbarian sounds different when adding the frostbite rune.

If you take the time to memorize these sounds you can identify everything your doing, as well as identifying your teammates location and what skill they are using as well.

As far as gear goes, every item in the game sounds different from one another, from a sword dropping on the ground to equipping a different shield, they all sound unique, at least the weapon classes do, all chests sound the same, legs, boots, and so on.

This is nice for sure, but I think Blizzard could do better, especially if they add a text to speech feature as a option that can be enabled or disabled.

Using a screen reader to navigate Reddit, using a Bluetooth keyboard to type this out.

I have decided to come back to D3 and figured some people may not know how I or other blind gamers play Diablo, so there you go.

I was hoping to do a greater right this season, but I have been grinding mk11 and bo4 so much I haven't played D3 for a bit.

But, nothing stops the crusade, even blindness.

He streams too so sighted viewers can read the screen and let him know which gear to equip.

Again, I'd love to see Fractured be developed for disability access!

@Logain

you seem to have a completely different idea on it. sure there are materials to gather, but i doubt you'll spend 2 hours grinding for it (no grind game). the spell is there to fulfill the 'summoner' theme which can be chalk outline on the floor with some animal blood or whatever. the summoned demon is there for a temporary time and can grant knowledge to said demon for being a 'slave' for a few minutes. there's no moon, no achievement, etc here, not even sure why you mentioned that part.

@DrQuick

with my idea, it shouldn't take longer to summon than the demon would stay. IE a 5 minute stay shouldn't take 15 minutes of cast time.

@r0v3r7 said in Haven't pledged? Want to upgrade, but not sure yet? Tell us why!:

I have seen far too many games fall flat in development. I would love to fund them all but I can't afford to so I guess I am waiting to see it fleshed out a little further first. Also showing us something that makes this particular game unique in a more fleshed out fashion would do the trick as well. I am willing to throw money at any game that can hold my interest long term but it has to hook me in first. So far I see great ambition and a great concept but not enough communication on overall timeframes. A general roadmap or itinerary on what is suppose to be done roughly when would help

development timing is difficult this far out. There was an issue with SpitalOS being blocked by Unity. Not one developer could have seen that nor know how the future of that came out.

I've backed Crowfall which was suppose to be a 2-3 year project is now going on it's 4-5th year. Star Citizen is much longer in development and CamelotUnchained also missed their marks. Maybe by not having a publisher pushing the release date the developers are actually building a great game, maybe it's causing them to fix everything before releasing, which means they wont release. I'd rather have a longer development time than a game pushed out in 2 years where the developers claim to "fix it in the future" because "it's a live service".

Look at Anthem. EA is pretty much done and are doing the same thing they did with another title they closed. Anthem was hyped so much at that E3 with the video they made, then it took them 2 years to make a game based off that video which was nothing like the video. they even offered a roadmap, which they couldn't stick to. they released the Cataclysm content but no media, no press, no ads, not even an email to those that played the game notifying them it was out, despite being 3 months late (that roadmap, you know).

@Thwunk said in Bees?:

@Gothix Although I personally would not wish to see such items, I would not be too upset if selective items were ever introduced for a specific event, provided they were in keeping with the perceived historic period i.e. allowing people to place lanterns in a window at Halloween , but would not wish to see anything that jarred the senses: In truth, I think this is a mute point as the devs have far bigger fish to fry.

with the stories that beastkin would tell their cubs, you mean not a single cub would dress as a demon or human?
