a sandbox can fit only so much sand and only so many people. Even sandboxes have limits.

we play by the game rules. If those rules state there can only be 100 people in a guild then a large guild will create more guilds to handle them all while using private channels in game or Discord for communication.

As much as I love a good fight, BOB is a huge guild and they can bring in thousands of players to any game. IF they decide to join Fractured, you'll be wanting some limits in game. It's been rumored that CCP (the creators of Eve Online) purposely dismantle large alliances to keep the balance between alliances. BOB had, at one point, over 2/3's of the game's low security under their power. here's BOBs wiki

@Logain
A stretch goal doesn't mean it has to be released at launch. it could be scheduled for the first expansion or dlc or content patch (whichever you wish to call it).

They could add in 5 Goals for 3 dungeon levels and 2 randomly generated levels. They could then release this after the game launches.

They could add goals for new races, new weapon types with x cosmetic options (which any backer would get when it's released). These could be released over 6 months after release of the game.

@Tilaras
I played Neverwinter Online and they offered a way for players to build story content via developer tools. Only problem is people were releasing exp grinds where they'd place high exp mobs and you could AoE them down. It was a great feature but it was easily abused.

DS doesn't have the manpower to test or look over all the submissions.

have a new one!

click the big fractured text above.

click on news.

read all 9 pages of it!

I'd prefer to have these types of system after the game launches. make it into an expansion which includes the furthering changes to the characters.

I watched an Anime based on something similar. The premise was that dungeons would randomly spawn and would stay there for a set time or until someone beat it.

@Roccandil
resources will be different on the planets but not necessarily better. If you decide to be a Beastkin then PvP isn't happening outside of invasions. Humans will have invasions pretty often while Demons will be the aggressors toward all invasions.

there's land, cities, etc that factions will fight for. we aren't aware of the resource layout so people trying to pick a spot to place a city will happen later. There'll be pvp on the asteroids but I dont have any information on how often the appear.

right now it's pvp for pvp sake.

@DevilsDog

DS wants Fractured to have individual stalls for items being sold. so if you need a chest armor, you'd have to look through them all or wade through trade spam to find the 1 place that has it. or you'll see 1 in 15 different stalls and you'll have to remember which one had the best one for your build.

it's going to be a nightmare and 3rd party sites will exist for more efficiency. Instead of depending on 3rd party sites, it should just be in game.

@Prometheus
ok new idea. there's individual stalls but there's a board we can search through to find the item we want. we still have to find the shop to buy it.

@Farlander said in Market:

I prefer ingame tools for being a merchant. However, during my UO days I used UO Auctions which was a 3rd party website alot of people used. It was well ran and there was a rep system built into it to avoid bad sellers/buyers. I would much rather have ingame stuff. I'd rather have one market area than have several player run markets. SWTOR has a nice system. It is quick and easy for both seller and buyer. I'd also like some kind of auction system because high end items you want to get the most out of. Auctions is the best way to do that.

I'd much prefer to have in game tools too. I shouldn't need google docs and spreadsheet to play a game. I shouldn't need need 3rd market website when it should be built in.

I'd even suggest to @Prometheus @Specter (can't remember the CM name, sorry) that a Market could be setup at a certain level of township. I'm not asking for a planet wide auction house, just a market that you have to see to interact with. It'd boost the moral of people wanting to defend it and it'd make a great target for those that want to attack! the Point of Conflict would be great.

Eve Online has a market per station in a system (some stations dont have markets). Trade skills aside, you have to visit the station to setup buy/sell orders. Your stall idea is great but people will want buy orders too. A crafter will want to purchase resources while selling crafted goods. Unless I completely misunderstand the system you want.

@Gothix

sometimes they use minimum hardware so they have a place to start.

@Logain
depending on how many fit in view and how the area is loaded. it could be possible that the engine pre-renders the area so you don't lag.

@Znirf

Then what type of convenience will Fractured have? Usually it's pay to bypass the crafting wait (even Warframe has it).

@Gothix

but it can be. you can meet up at any place when someone PMs you wanting something. you can meet up at your bank.

i'm just saying that putting it in game the hard way isn't good. people will beg for a market.

I should be able to buy from the market and walk out with it. it doesn't have to be an auction. or I should have a way to browse multiple items via a search UI then go and pick it up. DAoC did this and it was great!

aw yea!   .

looks at steampunk litch

kinda debating if i want to main that or my demon

@Farlander

beast planet will only have limited areas of pvp. if someone is outside a 30 run from invasion points then they'll never participate in pvp.

@Roccandil

other than being a crafter or harvester, i'm not expecting much else. sure there will be some raids but Prometheus already said the want the solo player to experience as much as possible.

if you're expecting treadmill level of quest and action then Fracture wouldn't be for you.

I will say that Eve Online is a sandbox and they have bounties, which you speak to a bounty agent and they give you a place to find them. but other than that and the starting tutorial there isn't much other than PvP.

@Logain
3rd person but the camera was moveable similar to WoW, Tera, Wildstar, etc. It was an Asian import so probably designed with low latency which doesn't work well in the US.

I just remember being in the main city and had to wait for my system to load everything. it was awful because most were ads for 'services'.

@Roccandil
land. lust for power. [land] location. guild/alliance hellbent on ruling the planet. it's a sandbox so any reason that exist can be thought of here.

@Znirf said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 22, 2019:

The tanning tub is also the first station featuring non-instantaneous crafting: the hides have to rest for several hours in it before the process is completed!

Will this be bypassed by Pay for Convenience?

@Specter
at least in game. someone will build a marketplace website and most people will use that instead.
