I never played the Witcher games, but GWENT sounds like way beyond what I was thinking. I was actually thinking of Arcomage, which was a card game in M&M 7 and 8 (late 90's). It was so popular that they published it as a separate game. It's still available as "Archmage" on Android.

Like I said, I think it would be a great community contest to come up with mini-game ideas for taverns, then have the devs flesh them out. It wouldn't even have to be before release, although something like Arcomage could probably be coded pretty quickly.

Welcome!

The devs want us to spend time in our towns, and I think competitive tavern mini-games would help that happen, especially on the PVE side where you don't get much competition at all. The devs could even run community contests to come up with unique ideas for card games, board games, etc. that they would then create.

Hi and welcome!

@gothix said in Enhanced Character Creation:

Fractured should, imho, have own imagined holidays, and not copy Earth holidays. Fractured world is reality of it's own, so why not it's own holiday system that could be immersed together with the lore and game play, partly through the whole year (preparations for holidays in some way).

I not only totally agree, I hope we can go farther and have towns develop their own schedules and holiday events, which they could use to get visitors (aka buyers in their marketplaces).

@tulukaruk said in Fishing in Fractured:

@gothix am I Little Prince now?

lol, I had exactly the same reaction. Actually, a Star Trek episode with the Little Prince would have been AWESOME!

As a PVE player, I'm sure a lot of people would expect me to want the extra damage. After all, extra damage means I can kill the wildlife much faster, right?

Nope. I'm thrilled at this decision. I'm so tired of Themeparks that require you to get ever increasing firepower to go from killing "juvenile bears" to "sickly bears" to "mama bears" and finally to the big boss "daddy bear". I am soooo looking forward to horizontal progression, and now it appears that as I do skill tasks I get different versions of the skill so I can decide which version fits my play style best. Yeah!

I do like the idea of different fish in different biomes, as well as a day/night cycle for what fish you can catch.

Hi and welcome, @Manaia! It's good to see another enthusiastic voice joining us!

One interesting thing is that the description on the funding page says: Bait and cast your hooks for fishes and treasures. So it sounds like fishing will yield more than fish. Crafting materials maybe?

Hi and welcome!

@Zenopo People who pledge now still get all the rewards you see on the funding page. There were separate KS backer rewards. So don't worry. As of now, you'll still get the labyrinth and lich awards, plus any rewards from your pledge level. You'll also get the rewards from any other pledge goals they hit.

In all honesty as a relative newcomer, I'd like to see more different kinds of quests rather than more rewards. Or at least finally see some community contests. I'd love to get the top level pet, but I just don't see a way to do it at this point.

I also like the dye idea.

Hi and welcome, Einzel!

Hi and welcome, @krust303!

You're welcome, all. Like I said, Prometheus announced it in the Discord chat, then he must have gotten busy and forgot to post it to the forums.

@jetah said in About the VIP membership:

I see no P2W in the VIP as listed.

Yep, agreed. That's why I posted the bit out of the FAQ.

This is what the FAQ says about VIP membership:

9. VIP MEMBERSHIP? WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
VIP membership is a monthly subscription planned to be priced around $10/month. It provides the following perks:

• Discounts on Store items
• Unique cosmetic rewards for accumulated VIP time
• Other vanity rewards we might think of in the future
• Additional study slots
• Increased Knowledge Point gains

10. IS VIP MEMBERSHIP "PAY TO WIN"?
Fractured characters are already competitive from day 1. The core of progression afterwards consists of completing tasks requiring you to travel and perform a wide range of exploration- and experimentation-related activities.
The bonuses from VIP membership have nothing to do with the above, since they only impact the passive “studying phase” that kicks in once the tasks have been completed. Moreover, they've been balanced so that they only speed up progression for "completionists" who want to learn a ton of abilities (beyond what's actually useful for each character). Because of this, VIP membership ultimately has no impact on actual PvP competition, not between individuals nor between guilds.

I'm not sure why this didn't get posted on the forums, but Prometheus was in the Discord channel earlier, and let us know that the Funding Tracker with the stretch goals is live. It's found here.
