As for targeting, just imagine it like you press a button and the closest "non-friendly" (creature or player) is highlighted in red.
I've played games like that. this isn't that type of game. if you can't aim or track, then you can't kill stuff.
for right now there's no mounted combat either. there's always a possibility, later in the games' life that it's added.
i know you want it but it isn't happening right now.
griefers were just playing the game their way which they enjoyed. if anything blame the company and noobs.
with the moba style combat i still dont see it working.
items aren't bound except for cosmetics so that rules out that, although summoned animals would be interesting for the summer branch of knowledge.
it's odd that you say UO because I played it before the split of pvp and pve lands. well before anything was bound.
@Gothix said in Couple of questions mixed with a few hyper specific suggestions with reasoning.:
Mounted combat could work IF there were special abilities that only work while mounted, while normal abilities NOT working while mounted.
This way, movement speed (while mounted) could be balanced with non mounted combat, by non mounted combat having more powerful abilities, and more tools.
but cavalry changed how war happened. it was more powerful than troops on foot but more expensive. that's why it's generally not put in multiplayer RPG games (i'm not talking about coop either).
there are no classes at all. you pick whatever spells/abilities you want and roll with it.
do note that the demons start off on the full pvp planet of Tartaros which has no rules, like, at all.
@deusex2 said in Int, is the most important crafting stat!:
Well I sure hope they'll keep it that way into release date!
it's terrible game design if they do.
it takes a community to build a house! get friends, help them, let them help you and enjoy the trouble of building a house.
combat will be moba style but not a direct copy.
cosmetics are account bound (or character) so it'll never be taken from you.
problem is then mounted combat becomes the minimum for combat, which goes against the core of the game where anyone can join in and fight. there'd have to be some good anti-mounted abilities. we're limited to 8-ish abilities on the bar so everyone would need 1 dismount ability if that were the case.
there's 3 planets that have 3 races. staying on a planet is restricted to your karma alignment.
the beastkin planet is pve with very limited pvp. it's impossible to harm another 'good' player.
human planet is a law-structured planet with neutral and outlaws. it'll be pretty common to pvp, full loot will lower your karma.
Tartaros is the Demon planet with full hardcore pvp, full loot and no laws at all.
think of it like Eve Online's system security. beastkin planet is 1.0 - 0.6. human planet is 0.5 - 0.3. Tartaros is full 0.0.

selling maps could be viable for the beginning though. the whole point of the Knowledge system is to introduce the character to new things. If someone's been there then they can jot it down then sell it or have it stolen >.>
maybe it could be a small thing under calligraphy (or other similar writing skill) so that it isn't useless after 6 months.
I like this too! Cartography and Calligraphy can be combined/used together to make sellable maps with notes on them!
imagine finding someone and looting their map! you can get all the information and transfer it to your map! maybe a guild has a secret farm location and you just found it!
first i've heard of the Legends of Aria and it doesn't have the same core personality that Fractured has.
LoA looks more like a dark souls inspired game, which Fractured isn't.
it could be possible that DS (company behind Fractured) is selling assets they create to generate more revenue, if they are then i don't have a problem with it. that's pretty innovative, imo.
i just ignore most of the groups of forums, so it doesn't bother me that much.

As long as our options do not start to include big fluffy pink over sized kittens with sparkling bow ties like in those Korean MMOs.
but.....
this isn't a korean/asian mmo though.
i dont mind temporary cosmetics that have a real time duration for stuff like that. IE There's a custom on the human world where pink wards away demons, thus for 24 hours they all wear pink and add covers to the animals to protect them too. This would be OK to have cosmetics that only last for the duration of that event.

I see, so has anyone clarified whether users who pledged higher than Patron get to reserve before the people that didnt?
if the pledge has it then they have to give it to you!

@deusex2
i doubt this early in alpha they'd have stats effecting crafting.
@Gothix
i honestly hate last names, even thinking of them gives me pdst.
i'm wanting to say it was answered, check the search bar.
