what's more interesting than Fractured ?????

totally misunderstood the statement >< /sigh

@Lanc3k

early stages of development is just humans running around trying to poke a few mobs. there isn't a game or systems for economy, yet. i'd say it's well into the 'they this concept will actually work' than anything else.

there are plenty of vod at twitch too you can check out!

@Gothix

I think "scamming" shouldn't be sanction-able, unless it's done by exploit.

you're saying scamming shouldn't be allowed, unless it'd done by exploit. exploits are bad in game terms. scams are good. scams are using the others person lack of information against them. as you mentioned in your other comment.

problem about using the word exploit is the different implied definitions.

@Logain

it doesn't have to be realistic to imagine how it'd work.

Beastkin have to travel to the Human planet to lower their Karma enough to be kicked out of the Beastkin planet. If the beastkin decide to stay on the human planet then they have to keep their karma around the neutral range OR they can lower it further to be kicked out and only live on Tartaros.

it'll be a grind to get there if you want it, however, it is an option.

See, that is weird to me. It's advertised as a sandbox. If I wanted to play a high karma beastman on the full PvP planet - why should there be an artificial wall to prevent rme from doing that?

And the same goes for @PeachMcD's comment. Sure, you can make alt characters - that's great. But in a sandbox I don't feel you should feel forced into doing that just to experience all sides of the game.

sandboxes have rules. dont remove the sand. dont use it as a restroom. etc. the developers make the lore so that it's easier to accept certain rules within the game.

Fractured will have similar rules. DS wants to allow the 3 primary types of players an opportunity to enjoy the game. Dont get me wrong here, there will be Demon invasions to the beast planet, so some PvP will exist there. however, when Demons are on that planet they will suffer damage from the planet (think of it like an immune system). You can invade Tartaros if you want but the same 'immune system' system will be applied to you too.

@Jetah said in About VIP in-game purchase:

I know P2W will be brought up, and lets be honest, there arent any games, or are very few online/service games, that dont offer a way to spend cash to bypass time. it's just what it is today in gaming.

one game i know of that has 0 pay to win involved is path of exile. everything is cosmetic. the only 'helpful' things u can buy are extra tabs to store more loot or more character slots, but they arent neccissary to get ahead of anyone that has spent money. Everyone is on virtually even footing on that game

uh. you can buy stash tabs so you can sell more items, so you can get more currency to buy better gear. it's pretty difficult to sell items because you need the premium tabs to list on the website trade page. otherwise you have to use a program to grab the items then hope it's listed on a popular site for trading. inventory slots are a foundation to PoE because of all the [useful] things that drop.
I'll agree that PoE is as close as possible to not being P2W.
pick another.

If the carpenter can't be rented outside of a cash shop then people will bail on the game. There has to be an in game funded carpenter.

@Gothix said in Sparring/Duels:

Beast folk could always travel to Syndesia and use arenas there for PvP practice. Traveling is kinda key point of the game, so traveling in this sense also makes sense.

Lore wise Arboreus is where peaceful folk live, so there aren't any war masters there to teach and train folk in PvP. So visit to Syndesia for the use of arenas, where there are also "war masters" makes sense.

animals play fight all the time. so long as there's no intent to kill, which is the point of a duel, duels should be good.

@Roccandil

have you seen people walk through NPCs in the videos? There's lots of twitch vod you can watch.

@Xzoviac

I like that.. it's not griefing, it's gorilla tactics. and it's ethical! (some will get that reference.)
I think scamming should be ok in game too. Eve Online allows it and it's a great thing!

how do you believe 10+ people will have the same exact idea on a created thing?

best thing DS can do is say "i'm sorry but that idea is taken and you'll have to choose something else".

@Farlander

this is a sandbox game. 1 planet will have no means to attack another friendly player. 2 planets will be PvX while 1 planet will be PvP full time.

This game will have friendly fire and will have collision. will some people make a wall so others can walk through, sure but that just means you use an ability that bypasses that like some of the few jumping skills.

@Alexian

most publishers want some guarantee return on their investment into the indie company game. they usually state how they want the cash shop, if any, to work or they'll want a cash shop added. EA does this with their lootboxes.

there are some investors that will leave the indie companies to handle their game as they please. I just hate that 1 chinese company has their hand in every industry. (this is a personal opinion of course.)

@Logain

I love developing concepts and how they work. I love it when someone can't imagine something happening and I can explain it further. Imagination seems to be limited or even non-existent when it comes to some imaginary systems.

Can DS have ML, sure. Will they have it, probably not. But I like to imagine the concept of it existing within the game world. Maybe one day someone will develop a ML backend that game developers can plug in to their game! It doesn't have to be complex to the point of each NPC developing their own personality, but could be limited in some manor. It would be very neat to know that the caravan merc's can gain knowledge and develop fighting tactics if they survive to the end. It would be neat if those NPCs could teach other merc NPCs what they've learned so that the whole system of Mercenary NPC improves. This is an example of the imaginary creativity as stated above.

I'd love to see more real AI in games. even if there's a limit of what they can do.

I watched one of the many 'transported to a video game world' anime and there was an event where the goblins would get high enough population that they'd start a crusade to the nearest 'major city'. it was pretty neat concept.

I'll just mention that games, and developers, do much better when free players are able to get store items via in game means.

Warframe is thriving because of this. WoW can use gold to turn into cash shop balance or pay the subscription.

If the economy loop can take gold to buy cash shop balance or VIP then it'd be much better for the long term. Usually the VIP cost more for a token that is sold to players. WoW has it setup so that you dont see the buy or seller.

I know P2W will be brought up, and lets be honest, there arent any games, or are very few online/service games, that dont offer a way to spend cash to bypass time. it's just what it is today in gaming.

• I know I said free players up there but i'm also meaning if you have to purchase a game but dont purchase anything beyond.

and people get paid on fridays

@Xzoviac

i could be mistaken but i believe the publisher may help with support or getting enough people to support.

Warframe as done well without a publisher! so i'd love to see another indie be self published.

@Farlander said in Sparring/Duels:

The beastlands will have no ability to damage other players. I know from my UO days often players from the same guild would like to spar or practice pvp. Also in SWG there was the option to duel someone. So I was wondering if this option might be considered for Fractured. This would allow players to damage each other by consent in the beastlands safely without interference from outside players. This would also allow organized pvp if groups can wage war on each other for roleplay purposes.

There's no inter-good karma PvP. But i do believe there should be duals.

Beast, and those with good karma, only help others. they dont wage war against like minded groups.

if you want to wage war then roll a human or demon.

@Xzoviac

i've already seen it in games that offered a cap that could be expanded. or they split their 'elite' players into the main guild and their 'untested' players in the other guild. some guilds were separate by divisions, assault, defense, flank, gathering, production, etc (not obvious guild names of course).
