Gratz everyone

I'm rather glad that they take their time to generate a good Kickstarter project.

Looking forward personally yo the town building one. Want to see how it will work and what the limitations will be. Would like to know a little more about how exactly crafting will be implemented and to what extent can gear be 'found' as opposed to made.

@specter Hmm, seems a little low for a b2p in my opinion, but I would rather that than other mechanics.

I do have to say that @Phaethonas mentioned the knowledge gain being on the p2w side considering the whole game is based round the knowledge system. So now that he has pointed that out I can certainly see how thats questionable. Maybe a bigger clarification on how quick knowledge points would be gained might help?

If I'm completely honest I'm a little against someone having status because they spent more money - i.e being a governor of a town from the start. Thats my personal opinion though, I feel like those kinds of positions should be held by people who put in the time or who others have nominated in.

I think the prices are fair other than my previous point as most of those are cosmetic in nature. I'm also under the assumption that you will still be able to customise your own guild banner within the game, just with a preset given amount of variety.

The VIP sub is fine, especially if it only gives time savers, I feel like you went in the right direction there.

Also, I havent looked through everyone elses answers, but ho many character slots will be given in the base game?

Oh an no Foundation points. It devalues the time those who have put into the foundation system already.

@HairyPeon I believe what you see there is probably a demon mount. This is me just assuming though.

@jetah said in Race specific activities?:

I'd love for Tartaros to have a Human/Beastkin hunt! along the lines of a player is kidnapped and brought to Tartaros. They are well fed and have access to some basic armor/weapons. After a certain time, they're released so Demons can hunt them!

I actually do think thats a good idea lol and if the human or beastkin win, they gain a pretty hefty reward? Winning could just be escaping though lol I doubt anyone could take on the planet lol

Loving all the idea people are coming up with Hopefully DS can potentially use some of these!

@muker That sounds like a great idea! Makes sense too since they are so connected to their planet!

Not sure if this is something that has been discussed. Was thinking along the lines of activities that made sense thematically i.e. Tartaros having brawls/pvp hunts. Humans could have mead chugging contest and the likes. Cant think of one for beastkin at the moment, maybe someone else? Might not work but just a thought!

I agree with @Gothix The only afk activity that I can see being a good one is a trade stall or something along those lines.

Thanks ^^

@mrchipps I agree, its why randomly generated content is at times better since no one can fully anticipate it. Also have some sort of portal dungeon will help as it means its always different.

The problem I see is that making everything soloable means nothing is challenging in reality. In a single-player game you can scale challenge by making it harder for ONE person. But in an mmo, even if something is slightly challenging by yourself all you have to do is find an additional person and now its easy as hell again. This is why soloable content is boring because it can always be too easy. When something is made with a group in mind, even with 4-5 people it is still challenging because it was made with multiple people in mind. A tutorial as @Myux pointed out is good, people know where to start, but they wouldn't be told what to do from there on.

I will strive to help people I wish to be kind, but destroy those who deserve it lol

@jetah said in Dungeons:

@miffi

one reason i'm asking for asteroid-dungeons, as the dungeons could change as often as you enter them.

This.

As @Sharo has already mentioned, I'd like for dungeons to be bit more creative than just smash every enemy till there is none left. Some secrets, puzzles, jumping areas and traps would be great addition. If I'm honest I'm not too keen on them all being soloable but thats the design they are going for so will make the most of it

@gothix said in Whats your favorite character Class to play on your first Character:

@Miffi We are all solo players from time to time, sometimes when grinding, or solo PvPing, not always doing it in group. Sometimes playing solo can be quite fun.

That being said, I do prefer group content and a social atmosphere, organized group PvP, etc. The harder the MMO is, the better (imo).

This is true, I concede to that. We are all solo players at one point. Maybe I mean that a players goal should really be to join a group in an MMO, however that looks to them. I would say more so in Fractured considering the liabilities running around by yourself as a potential easy kill for someone lol

I feel there should always be an advantage of being in a group as opposed to being solo, otherwise being in a group is pointless if there is none.

@vengu

The thing is, Prometheus himself said that the Knowledge System can be soloed. It would be weird if non-INT builds were excluded from that design philosophy.

I agree, I think it should be difficult for all builds, INT included. Not saying impossible, but difficult. Basically, requesting aid would speed up and make you goal much easier but if you have the tenacity that you can still do it solo.

@Gothix Thats true, but most likely those difficult mobs wont be starting area creatures? I'm assuming of course but more than likely the first few abilities and spells should be fairly easy to collect and not require tremendous work. Then once you wont to further your tiers then is when it becomes more of a challenge and the use of co-op play? I'm also a group player lol I'm just not so solo player friendly, maybe I should be more though lol!

@Vengu @Gothix Well, tbh it probably can still be done, just would take you a long ass time lol. In saying that though, I dont like when everything can be done by one person alone, kind of makes the MMO part pointless. Maybe mages can damage everything by themselves, but I'm sure they will struggle to get away or tank certain fast or ranged enemies too meaning they would require the help of a tank or other individual. I think thats what classes are for too, thats how you specialise and are useful to others because of your abilities and skills. Thats my opinion however, maybe others dont see it that way.

Mage/support. Ill enjoy nuking from the back of my group and giving them some buffs every so often
