@Denyde The idea is to reduce grinding not increase it Other than that, I think they're system is good, and we should have a whole sleugh of different kinds of mobs to hunt down for collecting new and interesting abilities.

Special abilities only available at certain levels of Karma, sounds like a good idea to have.

@Laveilath

Its possible to hit the Tier 3 level, it is not currently possible to hit a Tier 4... if they even will have them.. It takes a min of 10 in all aspects to have a Tier 3... in order to have a tier 4 it would (if according to the same algorithim as the others) take either a 15 or a 20 in all aspects which we just are not able to achieve with the current reagents.

After much research, I have found that there are only a very few Tier 3 enchantments currently in the game which deal with critical chance and Damage Bonuses (7 enchantment matches), however we do get VERY CLOSE for the main attribute enchantments!!! We are able to get 3 out of 4 aspects to reach 10 or higher; however, that 4th aspect only goes as high as 9, and usually it maxes at only 7.

@Razvan said in Hitboxes depending on size of player characters ?:

@Yitra
It's not really about having trouble targeting mobs, but about the difficulty of hitting away targets with skillshots. I guess the dragons or huge world bosses won't have the same hitbox as the rabbits.

@Kralith
Projectiles should stop in the first collision box they hit. I don't see anything wrong with that and it's a legit tactic for zvz: tanks stay in the frontline and protect the dps by body-blocking skillshots. Anyway, to my understanding, Fractured will have character collision, so 2 characters won't be able to stand on the same tile but imo this only adds more problems, both technically and gameplay-wise.

@Prometheus

I saw in the article where you talked about the major "leeching" and permissions issue for the cities. So I will be posting the referenced forum threads here for you. I do not know how much is needed to discuss in this setting however, since you appear to want us to mostly wait and discuss it during your Twitch stream. But anyhow, here are the links and waiting to hear your reply

So currently increasing the quality of Armor only provide +1% on two stats and +2% or +1% on the main stat. This should change and be like weapons where increasing the quality raises the damage by 10 to 8 points.

Each quality tier should raise it 10% to make it actually worth while and matter.

@Chapex In my opinion, grinding is basically having to do something that is completely boring time and time again. As long as it feels interesting and fun, I would not call repetitiveness to be "grinding", and I believe that is what the devs here are trying to say. We will have repetitive actions that we will need to do, but there will just be so much variety and ways to go about things that we should not feel as though we are having to "grind" in order to get what we desire.

(Gets out his grinding wheel and grains of wheat to start his long drawn out process of making bread....again.) what? I have to till the the garden? feed the cattle? take out the garbage? AND make supper??? AGAIN??!!!! (sigh) Life's grind is never done. (Looks over at his dog lounging on the rug by the hearth) You lucky bum.

@Ostaff
I remember that in Q&A was said NPCs will need gold but it wasn't said they will need food. Does that mean we can let them starve or they just eat gold?

oooh boy.. well... all I can say is that if they eat gold, my workers definitely will be starving... a lot.... in fact, I may just have to make them skeletons

(Hoards his pile of glittering gold and gems beneath him as he sleeps soundlessly upon his great mound of love)

@BlueGoblin

Maybe on Arboreus than can use the smal town - large town style again. Since Arboreus is suppose to be the largest, they could really add a ton of towns, and since it is almost completely PvP free, then there is no worries for them being pk'd.

I do agree that the game at the moment does seem very PvP oriented, however, they have been gearing up for this PvP alpha that is coming up since the last alpha. So hopefully, after this alpha they will start balancing things out versus PvP and PvE again and have Arboreus up as soon as Beta starts if not before.

@Kralith

Thanks to your parcel, I have one very happy and "full" goat!

@Specter My undie loving hero!!!!! Thanks.

I hear that if you worship the god SpecThor, you get spells to steal panies and underwear. You also get an unlimited amount of undies to wear all day long as well!

All must bow and worship our underwear Lord and Savior that is SpecThor!!!!! Love live the boxer-briefs revolution!!!!!!!!

@BlueGoblin well... there is a reason why we are waiting for another Fractured episode you know.

@GreatValdus said in Tech Tree, Marketplace & Money For Dynamight:

If every city-plot in a continent reach a stage above village

This actually can not ever happen, as it takes 3 cities to raise a city to its top tier. This means that only one third of all cities will ever be able to be at the highest tier with walls that require siege engines.

However, it also means that siege engines may not really be a thing? Cause if a city deranks after its vassals are destroyed as was stated in the video, then there will be no need to invest in siege engines when all you have to do is destroy one of the lower tier cities and have the main city derank on its on. Which at that case, you take it over.
