Prometheus did say there would be very limited item drops. I'd love to see "god tier" or "legendary tier" armor, weapons, tools, and accessories. This could be the best way for them to enter the game. I'd only ask @Prometheus that these actually be limited to 1 each, ever in the game. Have some type of lore that the items need to be used to maintain their power so that if someone has an item and quits the game, the item would be returned to the god to be given again.

Game shouldn't be designed around spending cash to progress, but it would also be nice if it placed a reasonable cap on how much you can accomplish by being online per day/week, so it does not promote no life 24 hours per day gaming.
So:
- no P2W
- no NoLife2win as well
It would be nice if game was designed around progression by gameplay, but with some kind of a reasonable daily/weekly CAP placed on progression.
then people would get more accounts to bypass that no life limit.
problem about having a cap is those who can't play but 1-2 hours a week will feel left behind because they can't spend more time.
it's better to play efficient than to just dump hours into the game. if this goes as Eve Online has then you'll want a bigger guild to have more people to get things done faster or more efficiently.
@Tuoni
no life has the chance to obtain more resources which can have more replacement gear. which gets them back into the game faster.

Okay: Edit for this: "If there are gods" to "Since there are gods" and it's not a real hypothetical question. I'm merely playing with an idea. What do you think about being able to see the actual gods in game? And discovering secrets is always fun.
the "if" was asking a hypothetical question. but that aside.
i have no desire to meet them. if i do, great! if not, i'll continue converting people to Babilis!
@Tuoni
i assume they'll randomly appear. but who knows.
we know there are gods, that isn't a hypothetical question.
@Roccandil
that sounds like a horrible game. all characters logged off shouldn't be in the game world.
a well-designed game should never be designed around someone's ability to spend cash to progress.
i'm more curious how we get to said asteroid.
I'd love to see the option that all alignment players need to band together to survive BUT it needs to be a limited duration thing.
@Tuoni said in Economy Balance:
Yeah, that is exactly what gaming industry needs imo, equal content with no possibilities to buy advantages with real money.
so long as there is trading between players, they'll exist 3rd party exchanges that'll allow someone to buy in game goods. (but this thread isn't about that).
@Sindariya
but discussions shouldn't be halted 'just because we can't influence them'. best case @Prometheus does a search on teh forums, reads this thread then can decide if a publishers offer is worth it.
I can see Babilis being pissed you didn’t follow them and would randomly curse you!
publishers generally want to get their investment back plus interest and will demand changes. Whether DS will cave in for the money or not is on them.
Tencent, a Chinese mega conglomerate, has increased in nearly everything. Sometimes they change things, sometimes they don’t. But I suspect they’re waiting for the current heads to retire before they change anything. I’ve seen how Blizzard has changed since the merger with Activision and it took AV 15 years to wait out the retirement of the veteran Blizzard heads.
@Tuoni
I posted a link to a game that is an isometric with WASD. It was the Necro of this thread!
I’m willing to think you didn’t see any gameplay footage of it.
I don’t see players always needing 360° of precision movement. I hate needing to move the mouse across my screen to move my character and attempt to attack something. I’ve already died to a bear because the clock to move was an interactive object which paused my character to run an animation. That isn’t fun and it’ll happen to others and they’ll complain.
Most of your movement can be done with WASD even 8 directions won’t be a hindrance. Again it could be programmed so that it’s as smooth as a mouse.
I’m just concerned when a big publisher decides to jump on them.
@Specter said in End-Game content:
@Goemoe Fractured will have PvE content like dungeons, world bosses, recurring PvE events, etc. Arboreus is mostly a PvE planet specifically for PvE players, and won't be any worse than the other planets. That means you don't have to go to a PvP planet to obtain "endgame" items.
unless those best items were crafted by the Demons! \o/

@Tuoni said in Economy Balance:
@Sindariya Well I can not decide when I die so it is kind of hard to think all before hand..
Also if people can not store stuff outside of home and guild bank, it will make all activities far from home really annoying. You can basically play mostly in your own hoods.. That sounds kind of bad. I really need an answer from DS side. @Specter
I have no idea, sorry. I'll ask Prometheus once he has time.
I wouldn't mind a "bank" type building that could be built at a certain city level which would allow short storage of goods. There could be a fee or just a flat removal of the items after the allotted time.
Maybe bigger than a town but smaller than a city could have a "bank" building.
i really hope gold (currency) isn't in a UI but a physical item in the inventory which would require caravans to haul quantity around.
@Goemoe
Asteroids are suppose to be the 'procedural generated content' but if there's any pvp on them i'm not aware. I could imagine some being pve only and some being pvx.
raids and dungeons are planned. just dont expect WoW quality and quantity.
when you see a zerg of demons on your beast planet, you'll be wishing and praying for FF!
